INTRODUCTION
The AV-GM04S3-S1 HDMI 2.0 Extender over Single Cat.X with HDBaseT, RS-232,
Bi-directional IR, Ethernet & PoC boosts up your video/audio transmission distance up to 100m
(330ft) in HDTV 1080p with 48-bit color depth and 70m (230ft) at 4K-HDR. AV-GM04S3-S1 has new
generation technology which makes sure the HDBaseT extender can support HDMI2.0a and HDCP
2.2. AV-GM04S3-S1 also supports the most advanced 3D video format complaint with HDMI
specification 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 UHDTV sources from DVD players,
Blu-ray Disc player, PS4, 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 support
and compatibility are all further insured. This flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS4
transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a greater distance at the minimal cost integrating
several components apart. In addition, AV-GM04S3-S1 is also equipped with bi-directional IR
pass-through path and RS-232 serial port control. These bonus features allow users to boost IR
control distance up to 100m (330ft) through only single Cat.5/5e/6 cable including HDMI signals. In
addition, serial port and USB2.0 offer the convenient path for AV-GM04S3-S1application, such as
touch panels. In addition, the extender also supports PoC (Power over Cable) which can power both
units from the TX or RX with one power supply.
The AV-GM04S3-S1 includes one transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) unit. The transmitting unit is
used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals with control packets. The receiving unit is responsible
for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR and serial controls.
AV-GM04S3-S1offers the most convenient solution for digital signage with long distance A/V
transmission path.

NOTICE
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 carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR
sockets. Warranty will not cover the damage.
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). 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 shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in
long transmission.
6. 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 1080p, 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.
