Simplified MFG REX2 User manual

REX2
4K@30Hz. Extender Set
VER 1.0

Thank you for purchasing the REX2 Extender
The REX2 is a HDMI 1.4b 4K Extender set designed to provide
years of reliable service. Please keep this manual as a reference.
Surge protection device recommended
The external supply is very robust, but a surge device is always
good insurance in electrically active areas where the power grid
is unreliable. If connected to satellite or cable boxes, the
HDSURGE is recommended to prevent surges through the HDMI
cable.

• The REX2 is a 70m 1080p Extender that
supports 4K @ 50m (HDCP 1.4 only)
• The REX2 has to be powered on both
ends. Make sure power connection to
the unit is made before plugging in the
power adapter to AC.
• IR Commands are returned from the
display to the Transmitting unit for
source control

At the TX end:
Is everything connected (Cat, HDMI, Power etc)?
Is the HDMI cable in the HDMI input of the TX? We often
use a loop out, make sure the input is not in this port.
What are the lights where the Cat cable plugs into doing?
Is the Green Lit Solid?
Yes, good! Flashing or off
the category cable is poor.
This can be the termination
(check the manual for wiring
termination), poor wire, or
interference from being run
poorly
Is the Amber Lit Solid?
Yes good! Flashing slowly
means no HDCP, off means
no signal at HDMI port(s)

At the RX end:
Is the Green Lit Solid?
Yes, good! Flashing or off
the category cable is poor.
This can be the termination

Is the Amber Lit Solid?
Yes good! Flashing slowly
means no HDCP, off means
no signal at HDMI port(s)
Other Techniques:
Make the circuit simpler. Move the source near the
display or the display near the source and see if it
works with a short HDMI cable. You can use this to
verify the HDMI cables work as well. Add components
until the system fails.
Use a known working run of category cable across the
floor and see if behavior changes.
It is often the case that the display’s setting can cause
odd/poor behavior. Consult the display’s tech
resources. Also, it is possible we have seen the issue
and may have a tech paper on this.
Not a bad idea to keep the following on your service
vehicle:
• Test source like an AppleTV or signal generator
• Known working HDMI cables
• Known working terminated Category cable
• SP12S splitter for clocking issues, etc.
