The AV-GM02R3-S1 HDMI 1.3 over Single CAT5 Direct Plug-in Extender boosts up your
video/audio transmission distance up to 25m (80ft) in HDTV 1080i format. With only one cost
effective LAN cable, users can directly plug the receiver in to 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/DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. This cost effective
flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit high quality video and audio with
a greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components apart.
The AV-GM02R3-S1 includes two units: transmitting (AV-GM02R3-S1-TX) and receiving
(AV-GM02R3-S1-RX) units. The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI/DVI signals
and carry the signals through one RJ-45 connector into one cost effective Cat-5/5e/6 cable. The
transmission distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 25m (80ft) under HD
(720p/1080i) or 15m (50ft) under Full HD (1080p). With direct plug-in to the HDTV, users do not
need to have to find a power outlet for the traditional HDMI over CAT5 receiver and can save an
HDMI cable with ease of use.
Features
State-of-the-art Silicon Image (founder of HDMI) chipset embedded for utmost compatibility
and reliability
HDMI 1.3c compliant
Extend the transmission length up to 25m (80ft) from the HDMI sources under HD resolution
(1080i or 720p)
Extend the transmission length up to 15m (50ft) from the HDMI sources under Full HD
resolution (1080p)
HDCP compliant
Pure unaltered uncompressed 7.1ch digital HDMI over UTP/STP cable transmission
Allows direct plug-in to the HDMI displays
Perfectly integrated with other HDMI over CAT5 series products
The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and
longer transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance.
Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended.

Note for EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) learning
1. Please connect the display which you want to read EDID with a HDMI cable to the
transmitter’s HDMI-IN and turn Mode to 7 so the TX can learn the EDID information from
the connected HDTV. The LED on the RJ45-OUT of TX will dim and light again in a few
seconds, which indicates the EDID learning process is completed.
2. Turn Mode clockwise from Mode 7 to Mode 0 or Mode 1 for desirable audio setting and
enjoy the experience. DO NOT let the rotary arrow pass by Mode 6 which will erase the
EDID just learned and restore the default EDID.
3. If use Mode 6 EDID(1080p),turn Mode clockwise from Mode 6 to Mode 0~4.
If use Mode 5 EDID(1080p),turn Mode anticlockwise from Mode 5 to Mode 0~4

AV-GM02R3-S1-TX.
2. Plug-in the receiving unit AV-GM02R3-S1-RX to your HDMI display (such as a HDTV or a
projector).
3. Connect your CAT-5/5e/6 LAN cable between the transmitting and receiving units.
4. Make sure your CAT-5/5e/6 LAN cable is tightly connected and not loose.
5. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the transmitting unit AV-GM02R3-S1-TX.
Hardware Installation

~ 6 ~
1. Turn on AV-GM02R3-S1-TX.
2. Turn the Mode of AV-GM02R3-S1-TX counterclockwise from 0 (for surround sound) or 1 (for
stereo) to 7.
3. Use a HDMI cable to connect AV-GM02R3-S1-TX & the display (better not connect to video
source). The LED on the RJ-45 of AV-GM02R3-S1-TX will dim and light again, which indicates
the EDID learning process is finished.
4. Turn the Mode of AV-GM02R3-S1-TX clockwise from 7 to 0 (for surround sound) or 1 (for
stereo). The most important thing is don’t let the rotary arrow pass through 6 which will erase the
EDID just learned and restore to default EDID.
5. Connect AV-GM02R3-S1-TX and the video source through a HDMI cable and enjoy the
experience.
EDID Learning

~ 7 ~
1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to
retrieve and provide DVI/HDMI EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz
LAN cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in
bulk cable 300m or 1000ft form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables
(usually in patch cord form). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables.
A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For
long extension users, solid LAN cables are your only choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, you can
use shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effects in how long transmission
distance will be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is
subject to your LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT6 cable is
recommended.
7. 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.
