INTRODUCTION
The AV-GM0473-S1 HDMI Extender over Single Fiber boosts up your HDMI transmission range
up to 10kM in HDTV 1080p format through single Optical Fiber cable. AV-GM0473-S1 is easy to
install and works perfectly with Single mode Optical Fiber cables. Other Optical Fiber cables can
also work with AV-GM0473-S1 and the transmission distance depends upon the quality and
bandwidth of Optical Fiber cables.
The AV-GM0473-S1 includes two units: transmitting (AV-GM0473-S1-TX) and receiving
(AV-GM0473-S1-RX) units. The transmitting unit is used to capture the HDMI and HDCP input signals
and carry the signals through only Optical Fiber cable. The receiving unit is responsible for auto
equalizing the transmitted HDMI multimedia data. The transmission range between the sending
and receiving units can be up to 10Km under Full HD (1080p) with 7.1 channel audio.
FEATURES
●HDCP compliant
●7.1-channel audio supported
●Extends the transmission range up to 10Km from the HDMI sources under Full HD resolution
(1080p60 24-bit color depth) via single mode optical fiber
●Video resolutions support 480i, 576i, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
PACKAGE CONTENTS
●1x AV-GM0473-S1 [TX & RX]
●2x DC 5V 4A in-line with C7 power cord
●1x User Manual
The claimed transmission distance here is subject to the grade of installed cable(s), source
device and display.
For over Cat.X/COAX transmission, the cable(s) has to be solid, not stranded. Any keystone
jack along the transmission path will kill the transmission performance significantly!

EDID LEARNING
1. Turn off AV-GM0473-S1-TX and set the pin 1 of DIP switch at ON ( ).
2. Connect the TV monitor thru HDMI port to AV-GM0473-S1-TX, and then turn on
AV-GM0473-S1-TX.
3. The LED of AV-GM0473-S1-TX will show orange light to indicate the EDID learning process is
underway. Then the LED dims when the process is done.
4. Connect AV-GM0473-S1-TX to the HDMI source and resume the normal installation and the LED
will be in green light.

NOTICE
1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use CV-1001 or CV-5005H EDID
Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide DVI or HDMI display EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz
UTP cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.
3. 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.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one
can use double shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long
transmission.
6. Because the quality of the category 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

7
1280x1024, a Cat-6 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.
