Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance and safety, please readthese instructions carefully before connecting, operating or adjusting this product. Please keep this manual for future reference.
Introduction
The HDMI Extender over Single Cat5e/6 with IR extends high deinition video and
audio signals and IR, at a distance of up to 164ft/50m over a single Cat5e/6
cable. Features EDID management, which allows and encourages source and
display “handshake” for seamless integration. With only one cost effective
Cat5e/6 cable, high deinition sources with HDMI outputs can be connected to
high deinition displays with HDMI inputs over long distances. Deep color
video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio is supported and compatible with the
extender. In addition, the extender is also equipped with pass-through which
allows for source control.
The extender includes two units: transmitting unit and receiving unit. The
transmitting unit is used to capture the HDMI input with IR signals and
carries the signals via one cost effective Cat5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is
responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR
control signals. The extender offers the most convenient solution for HDMI
extension over a single Cat5e/6 with long distance capability, and is the
perfect solution for any application.

- EDID: The switcher can switch copy EDID function,switch to right position,the extender will copy hdmi loop out display EDID information to source. Switch to left position,the extender will copy Receiver display EDID to source.
- HDMI out: This slot is to connect the HDMI input of your display such as an HDTV.
- IR out: Connect the IR Blaster cable included in the package for IR signal transmission. Pace the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled.
- Power LED: This LED will illuminate when the device is connected with power supply.
- CAT: Connect the CAT output of the transmitter with the CAT input of the receiver with CAT5E/6 cable.
- Link LED: This LED will illuminate when the device is connected to HDMI source.
- DC 5V: Connect from 5V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor to an AC outlet.
5.2 Receiver unit
- EQ switcher: HDMI Receiver equalizer switcher.
- HDMI out: This slot is to connect the HDMI input port of your display such as an HDTV.

- Power LED: This LED will illuminate when the device is connected with power supply.
- CAT: Connect the CAT input of the receiver with the CAT output of the transmitter with CAT5E/6 cable.
- Lock LED: This LED will illuminate when the HDMI signal from the transmitter is stable.
- DC 5V: Connect from 5V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor to an AC outlet.
5.3 RX Equalizer distance adjust
If you see lickering or blinking image on the display, adjust the EQ switch to
improve the cable skew. MAX stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for the
longest possible transmission length while MIN stands for the weakest HDMI
signal level for short transmission length. Adjust the signal level from MIN
to MAX until desired video quality is displayed.
Recommended EQ setting
Position| Cable Length
| under15m 495ft)
| 15-30m (49.5 ft-99ft)
| 30-40m (99ft-132ft)
| 40-50m(132ft–164ft)
Connection diagram
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 Transmitting unit.- Connect a display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI output on the Receiving unit.
- Connect a single Category 5e/6 up to 164ft/50m to the output of the Transmitting unit, and the other end to the input of the Receiving unit.
- For power, plug both the Transmitting unit and Receiving unit with the included power supplies.
- Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver and transmitter will already be powered when either unit is plugged in.)
CONNECT AND OPERATE
At this point the display connected should display the source signal connected to the extender set. If no signal is being displayed, check the receiver EQ swithcer. If a display is having dificulty receiving a signal, see EDID section and perform EDID learning or access the display’s menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is displayed). A 24 Hz vertical 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 the Extender set receiving and transmitting units.

IR BLASTER (TX)
To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of transmitter
unit; place blaster in front of the IR eye of the source.
IR RECEIVER (RX)
