minimum to maximum for respective
transmission length from longest possible
range to short distance. Please adjust the
signal level from minimum to maximum
andstop turning the rotary switchwhenever

•IR Blaster: Plug in the IR blaster to emit all
IR command signals received from the IR
receiver from the other end to control the
devices corresponding to the IR signals.
•IR Receiver: Plug in the IR receiver to
receive all IR command signals from the IR
remote controls of the corresponding
devices.
Note: Incorrect placement of IR Blaster
and IR Receiver may result in the failure of
the IR extenders. Please check carefully
before plugging in the IR extender to the
respective IR sockets.
Hardware Installation
1. Power off all devices, including the source
HDMI device and display.
2. Connect your HDMI source (such as a Blu-
ray player) to the transmitter's HDMI IN
connector.

7
3. Connect the IR cable to the transmitter's IR
connector. Use the appropriate IR cable
and socket depending on the desired IR
direction.
4. Connect your HDMI display (such as a
LCD TV) to the receiver's HDMI OUT
connector.
5. Connect your CAT5/5e/6 LAN cable
between the transmitter and receiver. Make
sure the cable is securely connected and not
loose.
6. Connect the IR cable to the receiver's IR
connector. Use the appropriate IR cable
and socket depending on the desired IR
direction.
7. Plug one of the included power adapters
into the +5V DC power jack of the
transmitter, plug the second power adapter
into the +5V DC power jack of the receiver,
then plug both power adapters into reliable
power sources.
8. If a flickering or blinking image is seen,
adjust the receiving unit's Equalizer control
to improve the image.

EDID Learning
EDID is used to transmit the make, model and
characteristics of a monitor to the display adapter
in the computer. It also used by an HDTV to
identify it's maximum resolution to the DVD
player, A/V receiver or video processor.
1. Power off the transmitter, see Figure 1.
Disconnect the CAT5/5e/6 between the
receiver and transmitter.
2. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI IN
connector to the display’s HDMI connector.
Do not connect the HDMI source device at this
time.
3. Set the Mode on the transmitter at 7.
4. Power on the transmitter. The LED on the
HDMI Signal OUT see Figure 2, will dim
and light again, which indicates the EDID
learning process is finished.
5. Turn the Mode dial clockwise from 7 to 0 or
1. Don’t let the rotary arrow passes through
6, which will erase the EDID just learned
and restore to default EDID.

6. Unplug the HDMI cable from the display
and follow the instruction in Hardware
Installation to set it up.
Note:
1. When adjusting the signal level on the
receiver, please dial the equalizer control
switch from minimum to maximum and
stop turning the rotary switch whenever
the audio/video is playing normally.
Inappropriate signal level setting may cause
overpowering issue that would shorten the
product life significantly.
2. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for
Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for
better performance.

3. Wrongly insert IR blaster and IR receiver to
wrong 3.5mm infrared sockets may result
in the failure of the IR extenders. Please
check carefully before plugging in the IR
extender to the respective IR sockets.
4. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances
are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e
125MHz UTP cable and ASTRODESIGN
Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-
870B.
5. To reduce the interference among the
unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/
5e/6 cable, one can use shielded STP cables
to improve EMI problems, which is worsen
in long transmission.
6. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI
inputs, it is found that the first HDMI input
[HDMI input #1] generally can produce
better transmission performance among all
HDMI inputs.

11
7. The transmission length is largely affected
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 fixed length patch cords). Shielded
STP cables are better suited than unshielded
UTP cables. 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.
8. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 cables
has the major effect 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 1080i or 1280x1024,
a Cat-6 cable is recommended.
