3. Features
The PT-E-HD50 HDMI Extender over Single Cat.X with HDBaseT, RS232, Bi-directional IR, Ethernet & POC boosts
up your video/audio transmission distance up to 100m (330ft) in HDTV 1080p with 48-bit color depth. PT-E-HD50
also supports the most advanced 3D video format complaint with HDMI specication and therefore guarantees
the highest 3D video compatibility on the market. With only one cost eective Cat.5/5e/6 cable, users can readily
extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources compliant with
TMDS to distant display monitors including HDMI or DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. With the advanced
design for the latest HDMI technology, deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP supports and
compatibility are all further insured. This exibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit utmost
high quality video and audio with a greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components
apart. In addition, PT-E-HD50 is also equipped with bi-directional IR pass-through path and RS-232 serial port con-
trol. These bonus features allow users to boost IR control distance up to 100m (330ft) and make IR control possible
through only single Cat.5/5e/6 cable including HDMI signals. In addition, serial port oers the convenient path for
interactive application, such as touch panels. In addition, PT-E-HD50 also supports POC (Power over Cable) which
can power both units from TX or RX with power supply.
The PT-E-HD50 includes two units: transmitting unit PT-E-HD50-TX and receiving unit PT-E-HD50-RX. The trans-
mitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals with IR control packets. The receiving unit is responsib-
le for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR and serial control signals. PT-E-HD50 oers the
most convenient solution for digital signage with long distance A/V transmission path, and with 10G transmission
bandwidth ready, PT-E-HD50 is ready for your next HDMI generation and applications!

User Manual

1. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP cable and
ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.
2. Incorrect placement of IR Blaster and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR extenders. Please check ca-
refully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets. Warranty will not cover the damage.
3. The transmission length is largely aected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMI sources, and the
type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m [1,000ft] bulk
cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of xed length patch
cords). A solid UTP Cat-5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long
extension applications, solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can use shiel-
ded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 cables has the major eect on how long the transmission limit can achieve
and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one’s choice of Cat-
5/5e/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080p, a Cat-6 cable is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the rst HDMI input [HDMI input #1] generally
can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
