INTRODUCTION
The AV-GM02S3-S1 HDMI extender over dual cat.X with bi-directional IR, RS-232, and Auto EDID
Learning boosts up your video/audio transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV 1080i format,
40m (130ft) in HDTV 1080p format, and 20m (65ft) in HDTV 1080p with 36-bit color depth.
AV-GM02S3-S1 also supports the most advanced 3D video format and therefore guarantees the highest
3D video compatibility on the market. With only one cost effective 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 Master
Audio or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP supports and compatibility are all further insured. This
flexibility 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,
AV-GM02S3-S1 is also equipped with bi-directional IR pass-through path and RS-232 serial port control.
These bonus feature allows users to boost IR control distance up to 100m (330 ft) and makes IR control
possible through only single Cat.5/5e/6 cable including HDMI signals. In addition, serial port offers the
convenient path for interactive application, such as touch panels.
The AV-GM02S3-S1 includes two units: transmitting unit AV-GM02S3-S1-TX and receiving unit
AV-GM02S3-S1-RX. The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals with IR control
packets and carry the signals via one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is responsible for
equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR and serial control signals. The
transmission distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 60m (200ft) at HD 720p or
1080i; or 40m (130ft) at Full HD 1080p. With an 8-level equalization rotary control on the receiving unit,
users can adjust the equalization strength to the received HDMI signals accordingly, and therefore
optimize the transmission distance between source and destination.

The claimed transmission distance here is subject to the grade of installed cable(s), source
device and display.
For over CAT5/COAX transmission, the cable(s) has to be solid, not stranded. Any keystone
jack along the transmission path will kill the transmission performance significantly!

You can buy any IR extension cables in the market that are compatible to the definition of
the IR sockets for the matrix if necessary for replacement use. However, IR cables longer
than 2m (6-ft) may not work.
Incorrect placement of IR Blaster and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR
extenders. Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the
respective IR sockets. Warranty will not cover the damage.
CAUTION!

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. Connect a HDMI or DVI source (such as a Blu-ray Disc player) to the transmitting unit
AV-GM02S3-S1-TX.
2. Connect a HDMI or DVI display (such as a LCD TV) to the receiving unit AV-GM02S3-S1-RX.
3. Connect IR Blaster/Receiver to both TX and RX units.
4. Connect a Cat-5/5e/6 cable between the transmitting and receiving units.
5. Make sure this Cat-5/5e/6 cable is tightly connected and not loose.
6. Plug in 12V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the receiving unit AV-GM02S3-S1-RX.
7. Plug in 12V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the transmitting unit AV-GM02S3-S1-TX.
8. If you see flickering or blinking image on the display, please adjust the rotary control switch to
improve the cable skew. MAX stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for longest possible
transmission length while MIN stands for the weakest HDMI signal level for short transmission
length. Please adjust the signal level from MIN to MAX 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!

NOTICE
1. When adjusting the signal level on the receiver unit, please dial the rotary control switch from
MIN to MAX 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. 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.
3. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to
retrieve and provide DVI or HDMI display EDID information.
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. 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.
6. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better
performance.
7. 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.
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.
9. 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.
