sources and displays, the video resolution and audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted
to correspond with that of the display having the lowest video and audio capability.

INTRODUCTION
The EVEXHDB1 extender set consists of a transmitter and receiver. HDMI signals are input into the transmitter and
HDBaseT technology is used to transmit the audio/video signals to the receiver up to 70m via a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable
for 1080p and 40m at 4K 60Hz. The receiver then outputs the HDMI signal to the display. The EVEXHDB1 also allows
for bi-directional IR and power across the Cat5e/Cat6 cable. The extender set supports PoC, which can be used to power
either end of the extender set off of a single power supply.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM
CONNECT AND OPERATE
1. Connect HDMI source (such as Blue-ray DVD) to HDMI In port of the transmitter with an HDMI cable.
2. Connect HDBaseT OUT port of the transmitter to the HDBaseT IN port of the receiver through a CAT5e/
CAT6 cable.
3. Connect a HDMI display (such as HDTV) to the HDMI Out port of the receiver with HDMI cable.
4. When using the bi-directional IR control, do the following:
a) Connect the IR emitter at either end to the IR OUT port on either the transmitter or the receiver.
b) When using a powered IR receiver, connect via a 3.5 mm stereo plug to the IR IN on either the
receiver or the transmitter.
5. Connect the DC 12V power adaptor to the power port of either the HDBaseT Transmitter or HDBaseT
Receiver.
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
1. System should be installed in a clean environment and has a prop temperature and humidity.
2. All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated and safety.
3. All devices should be connected before power on.
4. The Cat5e/Cat6 terminations for HDBaseT devices should be a straight-thru TIA/EIA T568B standard

IR
IR PASS-THROUGH
The bi-directional IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the extender unit, from the
display; or the display from the source, not simultaneously. There are two important things to note when
setting up the IR system:
1. The IR Receiver (IR RX) is always what you point your remote at to send an IR signal. This pigtail is placed
at the display for controlling the source; or at the source for controlling the display.
2. The IR Blaster (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to what you are intending to control, whether it’s the
source or the display. This pigtail is placed at the source; either pointed at the source, or placed on the
front panel of the source, see below for placement tips. Or placed at the display to control the display
from the source.
To Control the Source:
1. Plug the IR TX/Blaster
into the IR out Port on the
Transmitter
2. Plug the IR Receiver into the
IR In Port on the Receiver
To Control the Display:
1. Plug the IR Receiver into the
IR In Port on the Transmitter
2. Plug the IR TX/Blaster into
the IR Out Port on the Receiver

Below is the voltage and pinout used for IR of the EVEXHDB1. Due to possible differences in 3rd party IR
cables, please use the IR cables that came with the product.

www.vanco1.com 800.626.6445 9
NOTICE
1. Vanco HDMI and Cat5e/6 cables are strongly recommended for use with this product to ensure best
results.
2. Incorrect placement of IR Transmitter and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR extenders. Please
check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat5e/6 cables utilized, the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of
300m [1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the
form of xed length patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables.
A solid UTP Cat5e/6 cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long
extension applications, use solid UTP/STP category cables.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat5e/6 cables, one can use
shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which worsens in long cable transmission.
6. The quality of Cat5e/6 cables can have a major effect on how long the transmission limit can achieve and
quality of picture, the actual transmission range is subject to the Cat5e/6 cable utilized. For the best
results, Cat6 is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the rst HDMI input [HDMI input #1]
generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.

www.vanco1.com 800.626.6445 10
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions
differ, the extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HDTV with the lowest
resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HDTV sets.
2. If you do not get audio and video, access the “setup” menu on the TV to adjust the audio and video
settings. If the HDMI control circuit cannot establish a handshake, then there usually will be no audio or
video in addition to a blue or black screen with a statement similar to “this protocol not supported” or
“weak signal”.
3. If the above mentioned messages display, reset the receiver by disconnecting the power supply. You can
also disconnect all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 15 minutes for any voltages to decay and then
reconnect all of the cables.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the “hot-plug” concept. With all of the HDMI cables
disconnected, turn on the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it’s output, then power up the Vanco
unit and plug the HDMI cable into it’s input, nally turn on the display and plug the HDMI cable from
the receiver into it. This activates all of the devices in corresponding order and results in a signal being
plugged into a device that is on and will attempt to connect the signal.
5. Most of the major source and display manufacturers employ a proprietary control channel to communicate
between devices from the same manufacturer (CEC). Sometimes this can interfere with the HDMI control
circuit or the authentication of the signal. Call the manufacturer if you experience this issue. Sometimes
a player, an audio/video receiver, or a cable/satellite box may not have the latest software update, usually
this can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
6. If you have problems with the IR control circuit, make sure that the IR RX pigtail is plugged into extender
receiver and pointed at the display, and the IR TX pigtail is attached to the extender sender and pointed at
the source.
