Thank you for purchasing this PRODUCT
This PRODUCT is designed with the professional AV installers in mind. The many extensive
features assist in system integration, validation, and maintenance.
Installation precautions
This product has special circuitry to protect it against moderate surges and static discharges.
However, to ensure reliable operation and long service life, it is important to take the
necessary precautions against any spikes, surges and static discharges.
Place the units away from heat sources and allow adequate ventilation.
Shielded cable and in particular cat6, cat6a or cat7 is highly recommended. As much as
possible, cables should be in one piece and routed away from any noisy sources, avoiding long
runs in close proximity to AC mains cables.
Do not connect the interconnecting Cat cable to any other device unless explicitly specified, as
permanent damage may occur.

Auto Down-Scaler
Xcalibur-11U is equipped with intelligent Auto-scaler. With a 4K screen attached, it simply passes
all 4K HDMI signals; however, when connected to a 1080p display, all 4K signals are
automatically down-scaled to 1080p.
Auto HDCP
When the display unit can only handle HDCP 1.4, the Xcalibur-11U automatically will convert
HDCP 2.2 video signals to HDCP 1.4 format.
EDID Switch
The EDID switch on the transmitter has two modes:
Copy: Uses the EDID of the display attached to the receiver.
1080p: Sets 1080p60 with 2ch (stereo) audio as the default EDID.
IR Pass Through
Connect the IR Eye (IR detector) to the IR IN. Connect the IR Emitter (blaster) to the IR OUT of
the remote device. The IR signals are then passed through to the remote device and emitted.
The emitter connector can be a 3.5mm mono style, in which case the entire sleeve is the +ve
signal.
IR signals with carrier frequency in the range of 25-60 KHz can pass through.
