INTRODUCTION
The Evolution by Vanco EVRX2006 HDMI Receiver over Single Cat5e/6 with Bi-directional IR, auto EDID/EQ, and PoE
receives high denition video and audio signals, IR, and power at a distance of up to 164ft/50m over a single Cat5e/6
cable. Power over Ethernet (PoE) Technology transmits power over Cat5e/6, allowing the Receiver to be powered without
the use of a power supply. No EDID or EQ adjustments are necessary as the unit automatically adjusts for compatibility
and gain. This receiver also features a newly redesigned slim and compact chassis for easy and exible installations. This
product fully supports DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD audio formats, and is HDCP compliant. In addition, bi-directional IR
pass-through allows for source or display control. The EVRX2006 works with Evolution Series Splitters, Matrix Selector
Switches and Extender Transmitters over Cat5e/Cat6 that have POE functionality

CONNECTION DIAGRAM
CONNECT AND OPERATE
1. Connect a source such as a Blu-Ray Player, game console, A/V Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc.
to the HDMI input on the compatible product.
2. Connect a display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI output on the Receiving unit.
3. Connect a single Category 5e/6/7 up to 164ft/50m to the UTP output of the Transmitting unit, and the
other end to the UTP input of the Receiving unit.
4. Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver will already be powered when transmitting devise is
plugged in and powered on)
At this point the display connected should display the connected source signal. If no signal is being displayed,
connect a shorter Cat5e/6 cable (jumper or patch cable). If a display is having difculty receiving a signal,
access the display’s menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is displayed). A 24 Hz or
30 Hz refresh rate may work better than 60 Hz or higher. Use the source remote at the receiver emitter to
test IR functionality. If the IR remote function is not responding, check the emitters to ensure they are placed
correctly and are plugged into the correct IR jacks on both the transmitting device and receiver.
EDID
The EVRX2006 is equipped with EDID management, however there is no need to adjust any dip switches or
dials, the unit automatically reads the EDID from the display and save it internally. This feature was created
for the installer in mind, for a plug and play installation!

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.
IR BLASTER (TX)
To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of transmitting unit (ex: EVSP1013) and place the
transmitter in front of the IR eye of the source.
To control the display: Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of the EVRX2006 and place the transmitter in front of
the IR eye of the display.
Note: Placement of the IR Blaster is important and can result in the IR system not working if improperly
placed.
First, locate the IR eye or window on the source
If placing the IR blaster right on the front panel of the source, do not stick right on top of the IR eye or IR
window. The IR signal cannot travel through the double-sided tape on the Blaster. Instead place the blaster
on either side, or on the top or bottom of the IR eye or window, with the tip of the blaster facing the IR eye or
window. See below for illustration of where IR signal shoots from on IR Blaster:
IR
IR RECEIVER (RX)
To control the source: Plug the IR Receiver into IR RX port of the EVRX2006 at or near the display.
To control the display: Plug IR Receiver into IR RX port of transmitting unit (ex: EVSP1013) and place receiver
in position where it is able to receive remote signals.

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. 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.
3. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

SAFETY AND NOTICE
The EVRX2006 has been tested for conformance to safety regulations and requirements, and has been certied for
EVRX2006 should be used with care. Please read and follow the safety instructions to protect yourself from possible injury
and to minimize the risk of damage to the unit.
• Follow all instructions and warnings marked on this unit.
• Do not attempt to service this unit yourself, except where explained in this manual.
• Provide proper ventilation and air circulation and do not use near water.
• Keep objects that might damage the device and assure that the placement of this unit is on a stable surface.
• Use only the power adapter and power cords and connection cables designed for this unit.
• Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean this unit.
• Always unplug the power to the device before cleaning.
TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
