Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the 70m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60, IR & RS-232 HDBaseT Wall Plate Extender. This product has been designed to provide trouble free, reliable operation.

The Cat.6 HDMI 4K60, IR & RS-232 HDBaseT Wall Plate Extender is a high- performance Transmitter for extending HDMI signals over long distances via Cat.6 network cable.

HDBaseT is a globally recognised standard for high quality distribution of AV content and other technologies, including power and control, over longer distances via low cost Cat.6 or above cable.

Supporting resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD, video can be viewed in stunning clarity, while additional support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) allows content to be displayed with enhanced brightness, greater contrasts of blacks and whites and a much wider colour gamut. This provides a reliable solution for creating eye-catching digital signage in retail, immersive displays at events or engaging setups in larger conference rooms or lectures halls. The 1-gang form factor allows the user to install the unit in a standard EU wall box.

HDBaseT™ and the HDBaseT Alliance logo are trademarks of the HDBaseT Alliance.

Please Note: The quoted lengths and resolutions are possible with a direct connection between Transmitter and Receiver using good quality Cat.6 cable. Using a different cable type, introducing couplers or patch panels may result in a reduction of possible distances.

Troubleshooting

There is no display on the screen.
Please ensure that the HDBaseT Receiver used together with this Transmitter supports distance, resolution and features required.
It has been found that there are significant differences in the cable lengths/types and even input ports which can be used on different brands of display using HDMI 18G 4K@60Hz resolutions.

If problems are experienced, please apply the following steps:

• Try a different input port on the display.
• Reduce the cable length on the Input and Output to 1m.
• Try a different type of 1m HDMI Cable.
• Check that the DC plug used by the external power supply is firmly connected and that the LED is illuminated.
• If using PoC function, ensure that the switch on the rear side of the unit is ON.
• Check that the Cat.6/7 cable is plugged in correctly.
• Check that the Indicator LED is illuminated, if not please power cycle the source and display.
• For several HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and re-connect their HDMI connection to re-initiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.
• Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the extender, then the display and finally the source.
• Reduce the length of Cat.6/7 or HDMI cable used or use a higher quality cable.
