Wyrestorm EX-1UTP-IR-40 User manual

No or poor quality picture:
Connected and powered? Double check all HDMI, UTP and 5v power
connections are firmly inserted into correct ports and that all devices are
powered.
Cable length – is your signal struggling to transmit the distance of
your cable? If you are approaching the maximum capacity of your
transmission cable distance, use and in-line repeater to boost your signal
or try changing to long cable mode on the DIP switch.
Signal strength – the use of cable joins, stranded patch panels, wall
outlets and stranded patch leads as interconnects between them, can
significantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core straight, straight
through connections wherever possible.
If you reduce the resolution of the source, do you get a picture? If so,
this suggests a conflicting resolution between source and display or a
bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs and outputs
share the same resolution and make sure the signal is being successfully
transmitted the full length of your cable run.
Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ – signifies a failure to fully establish a
signal and can often be caused by poorly terminated RJ45 connectors
or excessive cable lengths. Ensure your cable is correctly wired to
568B standards. Try swapping in a display and receivers from a fully
functioning location – if the problem continues on the same output, turn
off all equipment and swap your signal carrying cables at both ends.
Cable quality and condition – HDMI cable/connectors can be easily
damaged and the quality of material can vary, especially in lower price
brackets. Always use good quality leads and cables and try swapping for
those already working to see if this improves your image.
Blu-ray and 3D – make sure all your equipment has been configured
and enabled to transmit and accept the signal. Are resolutions between
source and display compatible and cable adequate for the large
bandwidth required by Blu-ray and 3D transmissions?
IR control:
Are IR emitters and receivers correctly positioned to allow infrared
signals to be transmitted and received through the baluns? Emitters
should be fixed firmly over infrared sensors of sources. Receivers should
be attached to displays ensuring a clear line of sight to the remote
control used to operate.
Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible to
the naked eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing the
remote handset sensor through a digital camera/camera phone – the
sensor should flash when a button on the handset is held down.
IR signal dropout can be experienced due to exterior emissions of infrared
radiation. Ensure emitters and receivers are away from direct sunlight,
halogen lighting and plasma screens that may interfere with IR signals.
Safety Recommendations:
Do not expose this apparatus to any form of moisture, including the
placement of anything containing liquids on the unit.
To prevent risk of electric shock or fire hazard, ensure apparatus is
installed in an unobstructed, well ventilated area away from any external
heat sources - including other electrical devices which may produce heat.
Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer and
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Failure to adhere to these recommendations may invalidate your warranty.
Please see below for additional safety and warranty information.

the 3D display. Power on all devices and the baluns.
The EX-1UTP-IR-40 will now detect and output 3D to the display.
31080i stereo – The balun will use embedded 1080p 5.1 EDID.
41080p stereo – Long Cable Mode (LC mode) – The balun will use
embedded 1080p stereo audio compatible EDID configured for
longer cable transmission. If experiencing poor picture quality when
using a long cable run or lower quality UTP/HDMI cable, LC Mode
can be selected to improve picture quality.
51080p 5.1 LC Mode - The balun will use embedded 1080p 5.1 audio
EDID configured for longer cable transmission.
6EDID Copy LC Mode - the balun will copy EDID from connected
display configured for longer cable transmission.
71080i stereo LC Mode - The balun will use embedded 1080p 5.1
EDID configured for longer cable transmission.
Occasionally, the installation environ-
ment, such as the distance between
source and display may be a factor
in the perfect transmission and
reception of a signal. The EX-1UTP-
IR-40 RECEIVER balun can be
further fine-tuned depending on the
length of Cat5e/6/7 cable used for
optimum performance.

Extending HDMI using Cat5e to 40m (131ft)
with IR source control
Connection and Operation
1Place the IR TX EMITTER sensor directly over the infrared receiving
areas of the input source (i.e. Blu-ray, cable/sat box). You may have
to adjust the location of this later to achieve the best performance
results. Sometimes moving the sensor to different places on the
source can improve IR performance.
2Connect the IR TX emitter 3.5mm jack into the IR TX port on the
side TRANSMITTER balun.
3Place the IR RX receiver sensor on the front of the display. You
may have to adjust the location of this later to achieve the best
performance and ensuring there is clear line of sight between this
sensor and any remote control you are using.
4Connect the IR RX RECEIVER 3.5mm jack into the IR RX port on
the side of the RECEIVER balun.
!We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets
to secure both the TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER baluns. Any
sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of
picture and sound if connections become loose or strained,
resulting in unnecessary service call backs.
5Connect the TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER baluns with a single,
good quality, well terminated and tested *Cat5e/6 cable with RJ45
connectors wired to the 568B standard at both ends.
!
The quality of each RJ45 termination is essential. Poor termination
leads to intermittent performance and longer install times.
6Ensure all connectors are inserted correctly, pushed securely into
each port and supported by the connector strain relief clip to prevent
them from becoming loose.

Finally, add the 5V power supplies provided to both TRANSMITTER and
RECEIVER.
!You can power transmitter and receiver units by using the
WyreStorm USB 5V adaptors (CAB-USB-5V) connected to
displays or sources with spare USB ports. This is
not only more energy efficient as the extenders
are only powered when the devices are turned on,
it also solves power availability problems,
especially at the display end.

*PLEASE NOTE – All cable distances are on the basis of a direct runs of
cable (no patch panels or wall outlets). Please use good quality, solid conductor,
Cat5e cable. Stranded pre-made patch leads will reduce effectiveness of this
product. Please ensure Cat5e cables are installed to local electrical regulations.
Close lying electrical cables can effect product performance.
