1FUNCTION
The 4K-866 is a 100m HDBaseT extender, capable of extending all 5 signals of the 5 Play feature set. These
are:
➢UHD Video
➢Audio
➢Remote Power (PoC –Power On Cable)
➢10/100 BaseT Ethernet
➢Control Signals (including RS232 and Infra-Red)
All of these signals can be transmitted between a transmitter (4K-TX866) and a receiver (4K-RX866) at a
distance of up to 100m over Cat5e-8 cabling.
The 4K-866 can extend resolutions up to 4K @30Hz 24bpp (8-bit colour depth) or 4K @24Hz 30bpp (10-bit
colour depth) over 100m of Cat5e-8 cable. This makes the 4K-866 the ideal extension solution for a Sky Q or
4K-UHD Blu-ray player. The 4K-866 is compliant with the HDMI 1.4 standard meaning it can transmit any
HDMI signal up to a total TMDS clock of 340MHz. The 4K-866 is also compliant with the HDCP 2.2 standard
making it suitable for the extension of UHD signals with copy protection such as movies or encrypted content
from satellite and cable receivers.
Within the HDBaseT protocol it is also possible to transmit surround sound up to 7.1 channels. This makes
the 4K-866 ideal for feeding your surround sound system or AV receiver. The audio through the 4K-866 is
carried embedded within the HDMI signal, to extract you can use the optical output on the rear of your screen,
commonplace in most modern screens or use an inline audio de-embedder.
The 4K-866 requires a single 24V power supply (power supply included with purchase of a single item or pair).
Whichever end the power is supplied to, the 24V power will be sent remotely to the other unit. This enables
the user to place the power supply in the most convenient location, for example to keep unsightly cables away
from the screen location the power supply could be attached to the transmitter in your AV source cupboard
and power supplied remotely to the receiver at the screen location.
The 4K-866 also offers the ability to extend ethernet at speeds up to 100BaseT (100 Mbps) otherwise known
as Fast Ethernet. This makes it ideal for use with laptops at remote stations where wireless is not available or
to provide a wired Ethernet connection to your Smart TV providing download speeds that would not be possible
via a wireless connection. This increased speed will enable your Smart TV to take advantage of 4K streaming
utilities from apps such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix or Amazon Prime which may have struggled to maintain a 4K
stream via a wireless connection.
Another feature of the 4K-866 is the ability to send bi-directional infra-red signals. Each unit, TX and RX, are
supplied with an infra-red receiver and an infra-red transmitter. These devices make it possible to send infra-
red signals to and from each unit’s location. For example, with the use of a Sky Q box, the user can watch the
content on the screen and send infra-red signals back to the Sky Q box located up to 100m away with the use
of the Sky Q handset or a suitably programmed 3rd party handset.
The 4K-866 can handle bi-directional RS232. With a baud rate of up to 115200, control signals can be sent
from either the transmit or receiver device and receive back the appropriate responses generated. This means
the 4K-866 can be used to integrate in to a wider control system or be used to send commands directly to a
screen or a projector from a serial control device.
Finally, the 4K-866 provides a transparent EDID path from source to sink (screen) device. EDID is the method
by which a screen tells a source what resolution, refresh rate, colour depth and many other factors it is capable
of. By presenting a transparent path the 4K-866 allows the optimal image and sound quality to pass through
the HDBaseT link.

7BASIC SETUP
1. Test the CATx cables to be used for HDBaseT link and if required Ethernet. This can be achieved with
a cable tester, optionally you could purchase a 4K-9000 HDBaseT tester from Smart-e which is
purpose built to test for HDBaseT installations. Ensure cables are terminated correctly and preferably
to the specification as outlined in section 9 of this manual.
2. Attach all general input and output cables to your 866 units:
➢HDMI cables
➢Ethernet cables
➢IR TX and IR RX devices
➢RS232 connections
3. Attach the screw lock output of the power supply to the DC input jack of either the TX or RX 866 unit
4. Connect the HDBaseT CATx cable between the 866 units
5. Plug the power supply in to a mains outlet
6. There is no power specific indication on the 866 units, to check functionality a number of status LEDs
are supplied on each unit, to show their meaning and how they can aid in fault locating refer to section
8 of this manual.

8STATUS LEDS
8.1 HDBASET LINK LED
A HDBaseT indicator LED is located next to the RJ45 HDBaseT connector on both the TX and RX variants of
the 866. This is the primary indication to show the CATx cable used is suitable to enable the TX and RX devices
to communicate with one another. When working this LED should be lit solid red. If not lit or blinking it means,
there is a problem with either the transmission medium (CATx cable) or with either the TX or RX unit.
If the LED is not lit it would first be advisable to check that the cabling recommendations of section 9 of this
manual have been adhered to. Test the cable using a cable tester or preferably with the use of a 4K-9000, the
units of the 4K-9000 can then be utilized, through a process of elimination, to identify if there may be a problem
with the TX or RX 866 units.
8.2 HDMI DATA LED
The HDMI data LED is located next to the HDBaseT RJ45 connector as indicated above. This LED shows the
flow of HDMI data and the type of HDMI data.
LED Status
HDMI Data
Not Illuminated
No HDMI data
Blinking
Non-HDCP HDMI data
Solidly Illuminated
HDCP HDMI data
The DATA LED will only blink or be solidly lit when a complete throughput of HDMI data is possible from the
source to the screen. If the LED is not lit firstly ensure that both the source and screen are powered on and
that the screen is set to the right output.
Ensure the source is outputting a resolution the screen is capable of displaying, this may mean taking the
source and attaching directly to the screen using a HDMI cable. Whilst performing this step it would be worth
checking both HDMI cables being used to see if they are both working.
If these tests are both completed successfully it suggests the problem lies with the TX866, RX866 or the
HDBaseT CATx cable. The easiest way to determine this would be with the use of a 4K-9000 HDBaseT tester
pair.

PAGE | 17
8.3 HDMI HOT-PLUG DETECT LED
The HDMI hot-plug detect LED is located next to the HDMI socket on both the TX and RX variants of the 866
and is located as indicated above. This LED shows that the 5V, Hot-Plug Detect mechanism of the HDMI is
working correctly. A HDMI compliant source outputs a +5V signal, this signal is detected by a HDMI compliant
screen and it responds with a Hot-Plug Detect +5V signal to tell the source a screen is attached. The 4K-866
can handle this mechanism at both the TX and RX end.
The RX866 outputs a +5V signal replicating a source, when the screen detects this signal it responds with
the Hot-Plug Detect +5V and this then illuminates the LED.
The TX866 waits to detect an incoming +5V from a source and when detected this will light the LED and
respond with the +5V Hot-Plug Detect signal, telling the source a screen is attached.
If either LED is not lit it could be because of a faulty HDMI cable, try swapping this cable or test in a known
setup to determine it’s working state.
The source and screen will need to be in at least standby mode for this mechanism to work, check both devices
are at least in standby power mode as sources and screens can often power off completely dependant on the
power management plans of the hardware.
If the above methods do not determine the source of the problem the use of the 4K-9000 would be helpful as
this can accurately determine the point where the 5V, Hot-Plug Detect mechanism is breaking down.

9HDBASET CABLING
It is advised to use T568B termination at the 4K-8x8-L and receiver termination points.
NOTE: As the 4K-8x8-L utilises power over cable (POC), if the CATx cable is incorrectly terminated there
is a danger of damaging both the 4K-8x8-L output and receiver. If you suspect an incorrectly terminated
cable may have been applied, please contact Smart-e support immediately.
HDBaseT signals can be susceptible to noise, causing image loss or snowy effects on output screens. The
best way to mitigate against these problems is by using a high quality CATx cable. Smart-e specify cable as
below.
RECOMMENDED CATx CABLE
Connectix CAT6a U/FTP Solid core cable
