Welcome
Thanks for buying this Magenta HD-One DX or DX500. The Magenta HD-
One DX/DX500 series of video extenders extends HDMI or DVI signals
over category 5e/6/6a/6e/7 cable.
The Magenta HD-One DX/DX500 does not support distribution through
an Ethernet network. Do not connect your unit to any sort of
networking or telecommunications equipment.
For best results
▪Use one continuous F/UTP cable with as few breaks as possible, for
example, patch bays, wall plates, or floor boxes.
▪Use F/UTP CAT6 or better cable with solid 24 AWG copper wire.
▪Mount and connect all cables to the HD-One DX/ DX500 series
components before applying power.
▪Make sure that the category cable you intend to use has been tested
to comply with the T568B wiring specification. For more information,
see Cabling pinouts on page 6.

Troubleshooting
Most issues with the HD-One DX/DX500 Series are caused by problems
with Ethernet cable terminations. Make sure they are pinned to the
T568B wiring specification.
I can’t see any video
▪Check that both units are powered.

video to be interrupted or lost.
▪Try powering off and on again.
