1.4 Introduction
The Avenview HDMI-C5-3-SET HDMI 1.3 over Single CAT5 Extender boosts up your video/audio transmission
distance up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV 1080i format, 40m (130ft) in HDTV 1080p format, and 20m (65ft) in HDTV
1080p with 36 bit color depth. With only one cost effective LAN cable, users can easily extend HDTV sources
from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS3, PC, and any other HDMI sources compliant with TMDS to distant
display monitors including HDMI/DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. With the state-of-the-art Silicon
Image chipsets equipped, deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP supports and
compatibility are all further insured. This flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit utmost
high quality video and audio with a greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components
apart.
The HDMI-C5-3-SET consists of Transmitter (HDMI-C5-3-S) and Receiver (HDMI-C5-3-R). The Transmitter
(HDMI-C5-3-S) captures the input HDMI/DVI signals and carry the signals through one RJ-45 connector into
one cost effective CAT-5/5e/6 LAN cable. The Receiver (HDMI-C5-3-R) equalizes the sent TMDS multimedia
data. The transmission distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 60m (200ft) under HD
(720p/1080i) or 40m (130ft) under Full HD (1080p). With an 8-level equalization control knob on the receiving
unit, users can adjust the equalization strength to the received TMDS signals accordingly, and therefore
optimize the transmission distance between source and destination.

Note for EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) learning
1. If you cannot get the audio/video output from the connected display from the first time setup. Please
follow the instructions below to check if the extender is OK:
Step 1 –Please set the rotary arrow on Transmitter at “Mode 5” for Safe Mode, and wait for the LED of the
RJ-45 connector blinks for a couple seconds.
Step 2 –Please turn the rotary arrow counterclockwise [ ] from Mode 5 to Mode 3. If you can get
audio/video from the display, you can stay tune at this setting for 720p or 1080i and stereo
audio. If you need to get 720p/1080i with 7.1ch audio output, please turn the rotary arrow
counterclockwise [ ] from Mode 3 to Mode 2. For better audio/video output, please check
Note#2. If you still cannot get the audio/video out normally, please go on the next step.
Step 3 –Please turn the rotary arrow counterclockwise [ ] from Mode 3 to Mode 7. Wait a few
seconds until the LED of the RJ-45 connector dims and then lights again.
Step 4 –Please turn the rotary arrow clockwise [ ] from Mode 7 to Mode 1. You should have normal
audio/video output. If not, please contact technical support.
2. For desirable 1080p video output, please follow the instructions below:
Step 1 –Please set the rotary arrow at “Mode 6” for Default Mode, and wait for the LED of the
RJ-45 connector blinks for a couple of seconds.

Note for EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) learning continued:
Step 2 –Please turn the rotary arrow clockwise [ ] from Mode 6 to Mode 1. If you can get audio/video
from the display, you can stay tune at this setting for 1080p and stereo audio. If you need to get 1080p
with 7.1ch audio output, please turn the rotary arrow counterclockwise [ ] from Mode 1 to Mode 0. If
you cannot get the audio/video out normally, please go to next step.
Step 3 –Please turn the rotary arrow counterclockwise [ ] from Mode 0/1 to Mode 7. Wait a few
seconds until the LED of the RJ-45 connector dims and then lights again.
Step 4 –Please turn the rotary arrow clockwise [ ] from Mode 7 to Mode 0/1. You should have your
desirable audio/video output. If not, please follow the instruction in Note#1.
3. To learn EDID from the HDMI display, please follow the instruction below:
Step 1 –Please connect the display which you want to read EDID with a HDMI cable to the transmitter’s
HDMI IN and set the rotary arrow at Mode 7 so the TX can learn the EDID information from the connected
display. The LED on the RJ45 connector of TX will dim and light again in a few seconds, which indicates the
EDID learning procedure, is complete.
Step 2 –Please turn the rotary arrow clockwise [ ] from Mode 7 to Mode 0 or Mode 1 for desirable
audio setting and enjoy the experience. DO NOT let the rotary arrow pass by Mode 5 and Mode 6 which
will erase the EDID just learned and restore the default EDID.

6. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the transmitting unit HDMI-C5-3-S.
1.9 EDID Learning
To learn EDID from the monitor/TV following these steps
1. Turn on HDMI-C5-3-S.
2. Turn the Mode of HDMI-C5-3-S counterclockwise from 0 (for surround sound) or 1 (for stereo) to 7.
3. Use a HDMI cable to connect HDMI-C5-3-S & the display (better not connect to video source). The
LED on the RJ-45 of HDMI-C5-3-S will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning process is
finished.
4. Turn the Mode of HDMI-C5-3-S clockwise from 7 to 0 (for surround sound) or 1 (for stereo).
5. Connect HDMI-C5-3-S and the video source through a HDMI cable and enjoy the experience.
If a flickering or a blinking image is seen, try to adjust the rotational switch to improve the cable
skew. 0 stands for the strongest EQ while 7 stands for the weakest. Try adjusting the EQ from 7 to 0
The most important thing is don’t let the rotary arrow pass through 6 which will erase the EDID just
learned and restore to default EDID.
