Surge protection device recommended
This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged by
electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge
protection such as the HDSURGE and other systems is highly recommended to
protect and extend the life of your equipment.
INTRODUCTION
The REX1 is a HDMI Extender over Single CatSe/6 with IR extends high definition
Audio/Video signals and IR, at a distance of up to 164ft/50m over a single
catse/6 cable. Features EDID management, which allows and encourages
source and display "handshake" for seamless integration. Deep color video,
DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio is supported and compatible with the extender.
In addition, the extender is also equipped with IR pass-through which allows for
source control.
The REX1 extender includes two units: a transmitting unit and a receiving unit.
The transmitting unit is used to capture the HDMI input with IR carries the
signals via one cost effective CatSe/6 cable. The receiving unit is responsible for
equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal. The extender offers the most
convenient solution for HDMI extension over a single CatSe/6 with long distance
capability, and is the perfect solution for a 1080p application.

FEATURES
• Allows HDMI Audio/Video and IR signals to be transmitted over a
single cat5e/6 cable.
• Support copy EDID from receiver display or loop out display.
• Allows for cascading via additional HDMI loop out port.
• Support Power over cable function.
• Transmission Range: Extends 1080p resolution up to 164ft/50m over a
single cat5e or Cat6 cable.
• Works with 1080p HDMI and HDCP 1.4 compliant devices.
• Compact design for an easy and flexible installation.

RX Equalizer distance adjust
If you see flickering or blinking image on the display, adjust the EQ switch to
improve the cable skew. MAX stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for the
longest possible transmission length while MIN stands for the weakest HDMI
signal level for short transmission length. Adjust the signal level from MIN to
MAX until desired video quality is displayed.

CONNECTION AND OPERATION
1. Connect a 1080p/720p/1080i source such as a Blu-Ray Player, game console,
A/V Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc. to the HDMI input on the
Transmitting unit.
2. Connect a 1080p/720p/1080i display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the
HDMI output on the Receiving unit.
3. Connect a single Category Se/6 up to 164ft/50m to the output of the
Transmitting unit, and the other end to the input of the Receiving unit.
4. For power, plug both the Transmitting unit and Receiving unit with the
included power supplies.
5. Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver and transmitter will
already be powered when either unit is plugged in .)
At this point the display connected should display the source signal connected to
the extender set. If no signal is being displayed, check the receiver EQ switch. If
a display is having difficulty receiving a signal, see EDID section and perform
EDID learning or access the display's menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to
highest until signal is displayed). A 24 Hz vertical refresh rate may work better
than 60 Hz or higher f there are cabling issues. Use the source remote at the
receiver emitter to test IR functionality. If the IR remote function is not
responding, check the emitters to ensure they are placed correctly and are
plugged into the correct IR jacks on the Extender set receiving and transmitting
units.
