sy.uk 2V1.0
The SY-HDBT-ARC100 Extender Set consists of a transmitter and receiver pair that can broadcast
4K UHD HDMI up to 100m or 1080p up to 150m. Bi-directional IR, RS232 and Ethernet are also
supported to permit the use of those control signals between the HDBT-ARC100 units. The
transmitter provides outputs for both Toslink (S/PDIF) and stereo analogue for audio and the
receiver has audio Toslink fibre input port.
This extender set can also use the HDMI audio return channel (ARC) from the display all the way
through back to the HDBT-ARC100-T transmitter where the audio can be sent to an amplifier using
either analogue stereo (L+R) or optical Toslink.

Using the HDBT-ARC100 Extender Set
Use good quality cabling throughout to obtain best results, and avoid long HDMI cables when
sending 4K2K HDMI signals.
To use the extenders:
Connect an HDMI source to the HDMI input of the SY-ARC100-T transmitter.
Connect an HDMI sink to the HDMI output of the SY-ARC100-R receiver.
Connect the cat5e/6/6a cable to the HDBT RJ45 connectors of the transmitter and
receiver.
Connect the 12V DC power supply to either the transmitter or receiver.
Only one PSU is required as the corresponding HDBT-ARC100 device will be powered
over the cat6 cable connected between the HDBaseT ports.
The power LED indicates that the unit is powered up and the ON LED indicates that the unit is in
its operating mode. The LINK and HDCP LEDs will indicate the presence of a good data connection
between the transmitter and receiver pair. The HCDP LED provides three states as below:
HDCP LED State
HDMI Signal Status
HDCP Signal Status
OFF
No HDMI signal is present
No HDCP signal is present
Flashing

The HDCP signal is absent
ON

The HDCP signal is present
Using the Additional Features
IR and RS232
If required, IR and/or RS232 control data signals can also be connected to the extender pair to
allow control of any device from the remote location. The IR Eye must of a type that preserves
the IR carrier signal to ensure reliable operation.
Ethernet
The SY-ARC100-Set also features a simple four-port Ethernet hub comprising of a single LAN
connector on the transmitter and three LAN ports on the receiver. These ports can be used for
controlling or communicating with any type of Ethernet device.
MODE switch (100m / 150m Range Selection)
The range selection switch limits the maximum range for higher UHD resolutions to 100 metres
or to 150 metres for any resolution up to 1080p. Transmission of 4K UHD resolutions will not be
possible when this switch is set to the 150m position.
The MODE switch should be set to the same position on both units to ensure the correct video.
ARC Mode
The HDBT-ARC100 can be used as an HDMI extender with or without the audio return channel, set
the ARC switch to the same setting on both the transmitter and receiver units as follows:
Mode
ARC Switch State
HDMI Extender only
OFF
HDMI Extender with ARC
ON
The ARC switch MUST be set to the same position on both units to ensure the correct audio
mode.

RJ-45 Wiring
Both connectors must be wired identically, to T568B standard.
Note:
You may use cat5e, cat6 UTP (cat6 preferred) in conjunction with the HDBaseT output; however
for best performance use cat6a or cat7 (particularly in electrically noisy environments). The
maximum distances & transmission performance for HDMI and HDBT may be compromised by
cable quality, patch panels, poor termination, wall plates, cable kinks and electrical
interferences. Generally ensure the cat cable is solid copper core of 23AWG (avoid CCA type), in
one straight run (avoid/minimise patches) and avoid close proximity to any noisy electrical
sources.
