Notices
• This MSolutions product contains electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric
shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection is highly recommended in order to protect and extend the life
of your equipment.
• The transmission distances of HDMI over Cat cables are measured using TE CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6 EIA/
TIA-568-B termination (T568B) of cables is recommended for optimal performance. To minimise interference
of unshielded twisted pairs in the Cat5e/6 cable, do not run the HDBaseT / Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close
parallel proximity to mains power cables.
• Do not substitute or use any other power supply other than the enclosed unit, or an MSolutions approved
replacement. Do not disassemble either the Transmitter or Receiver units for any reason. Doing so will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.

Introduction
The MSolutions MS-100PRI is a 4K HDMI extender using uncompressed HDBaseT technology to
extend 4K UHD & HDR video (10.2Gbps) to a distance of up to 70m over single CAT cable with
1080p or lower resolutions to up to 100m.
The extender provides bi-directional RS-232 and a single channel IR link between TX to RX, or RX
to TX. HDBaseT compliant PoE allows for the RX unit to be powered remotely from the TX.
Key Features
• Uncompressed extension of HDMI at resolutions up to 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 / 4K 30Hz 4:4:4 using
HDBaseT technology
• 4K signal extension to 70m over single CAT including HDR formats suppported under 10.2Gbps
• 1080p or lower video resolutions up to 100m over single CAT
• Supports HDMI pass-through all known HDMI audio formats including Dolby Atmos / DTS:X
• HDBaseT 48V standard PoE support to power RX from the TX
• Bi-directional RS-232 serial pass through
• Single channel 5V IR pass-through (TX to RX, or, RX to TX)
• CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) pass through
• HDCP2.2 compliant

Understanding the LED’s
This MSolutions extender set includes status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver
products to show active connections and to further help integrators diagnose potential problems
with the associated cabling.
The RJ45 HDBaseT connections on both the transmitter and receiver units have orange and green
LED’s.
• The orange LED indicates that the unit is receiving power. The LED will blink continuously.
• The green LED indicates that the unit is communicating with the unit attached to the far side of
the link over the Cat cable. The LED will be solid whilst the units are able to host a HDBaseT link
across the infrastructure.
• Internal LED’s that may be seen through venting of the product are not indicative of a working /
non-working unit.
Cabling for HDBaseT
It is important that the interconnecting Cat cable between the MSolutions HDBaseT products is
terminated using the correct RJ45 pin configuration. The link Cat cable must be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-
pin) Cat cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wiring standard as this format is less
prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing Cat cables it is advised that the best possible Cat cable quality possible is used.
HDMI distribution products will only work if used with Cat5e standard cable or above. MSolutions
recommends using a Cat6 (or higher) cable for installations, especially when running over longer
distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.
The HDMI cable infrastructure should be compliant to High-Speed standards, especially where
4K is being distributed. It is important to understand that where excessive HDMI cable lengths are
used, this brings increased reduction in signal integrity over distance compared to HDBaseT. It is
therefore recommended to use short HDMI cables to ensure the integrity of the signal over the link.
For HDBaseT and HDMI testing capabilities, please refer to the MSolutions MS-TestPro to prove
both Cat and HDMI cables can be used for video signal distribution.

MS-100PRI USER GUIDE
Power
The MS-100PRI uses Power over HDBaseT (PoE) to provide power from the Transmitter to the
attached Receiver over the Cat cable link. Please only use the supplied 48V/0.5A DC PSU supplied
with the MSolutions MS-100PRI to power the unit
IR Control
The MS-100PRI can distribute infrared comands from either the receiver to the transmitter, to
provide source control from the display; or, from transmitter to receiver to provide display control
from a centrally located control processor.
The MS-100PRI is supplied with a single 5V IR transmitter that can be connected to either of the
3.5mm jack sockets on the transmitter or receiver to the labelled ‘IR’ port. The 5V IR Receiver is
then connected to the 3.5mm jack socket labelled ‘IR’ on the opposite end of the link.
Please use the supplied MSolutions IR equipment within this kit - alternative manufacturers IR
cabling may not have the same pin configuration which, if used, could damage the componentry
inside the MSolutions extender, or the IR cabling.
Note: the 3.5mm jack sockets are bi-directional - it is only possible to send IR control in one
direction depending on which end of the link has the IR transmitter or receiver. It is not possible to
send IR controls in two directions simultaneously.
RS-232 Control
The MS-100PRI can distribute bi-directional serial commands between the transmitter and receiver
to allow for control commands to be sent alongside the video and audio distribution.
Each HDBaseT unit is fitted with a 3-pin phoenix connector block that will need the serial TX, RX
and Ground pins terminating into. HDBaseT has the ability to transparently send any type of serial
data as both pieces of equipment are able to communicate using the same baud rate, stop-gap,
and parity.
