- User Manual
FEATURES
-
1 HDMI Input and 3 HDMI Outputs:
You are able to deliver the same video and audio material to several monitors by using an extender that takes a single HDMI input signal and replicates it to three distinct HDMI outputs. -
Extension for Cat5e and Cat6:
The HDMI signal is extended over greater distances than would be possible with conventional HDMI cables thanks to the utilization of either Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables by the device. -
The Quality of the Signal:
Provides support for the transmission of high-definition video and audio signals, such as those with a Full HD (1080p) resolution, in addition to those with 3D and 4K resolutions (if those resolutions are specified by the capabilities of the extender). -
Signal That Is Balanced:
Cat5e/6 cables are utilized in order to equalize and extend the HDMI signal while simultaneously preserving the signal’s quality and lowering the likelihood of signal deterioration. -
Units at a Distance and Those Nearby
In most cases, the signal extension is made possible by the inclusion of both a local unit (located at the source) and distant units (located at the destinations). The display units are connected to the remote control units. -
Control through IR in Both Directions:
Some extenders may provide bi-directional infrared (IR) control, which enables you to control source devices (such as a Blu-ray player) from a remote place using an IR remote control. This feature is only available on certain models of extenders. -
Management of the EDID:
Some models provide EDID management, also known as Extended Display Identification Data management, which helps to improve compatibility by ensuring that source devices and displays are properly communicating with one another. -
Simply connect and play:
Typically developed to facilitate simple installation and operation with a minimum of specialized training or expertise being necessary. -
Mounting Alternatives:
Mounting brackets that allow for the safe and sound installation of both the local and remote units may be included with some models. -
Helping Out With the Audio:
In addition to being able to send video signals, the extender is also capable of transmitting audio signals, including multi-channel audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. -
Transmission That Is Unchanged:
Typically created to manage steady signal transmission over greater distances, typically up to 200 feet (or more than 60 meters). -
To be compatible with:
It is compatible with a wide range of HDMI source devices, including Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and media players, as well as displays, such as TVs and projectors. -
The power to:
It’s possible that running the device requires an external power supply, which are usually supplied by power adapters. -
Strong and Robust Construction:
Developed with long-term use in mind and using materials that are built to last.
CONNECTIONS
The following is an overview of the various types of connections that may be required when using this sort of HDMI extender:
-
Source Device (High-Definition Multimedia Interface Input):
Connect the HDMI cable that comes out of your source device (such a Blu-ray player or a gaming console, for example) to the HDMI input port that is located on the local unit of the extender. -
The Neighborhood:
The local unit is linked to the device that serves as the source. It is also possible that it has IR connections, which allow an IR emitter to be connected and used to control the source device remotely. -
Cat5e and Cat6 Cables:
To link the local unit to the remote units, Ethernet cables of the Cat5e/6 variety should be used. The HDMI signals are transmitted to the remote locations over the Cat5e/6 connections. -
Units at a Distance:
HDMI cables should be used to connect the remote units to the displays (such as televisions or projectors). These modules are put in position at the remote display locations where you wish the HDMI signal to be extended. -
If necessary, an infrared (IR) emitter and receiver:
Some extenders are controllable via infrared. If this is the case, you will likely need to connect an infrared (IR) emitter to the local unit and an infrared (IR) receiver to each of the remote units. This enables you to use an infrared (IR) remote control to control the device that is the source from the remote places. -
The power to:
Make sure that the necessary power supply is linked to each and every unit, both those that are local and those that are remote. The vast majority of HDMI extenders cannot operate without power.
PRECAUTIONS
-
Installation Done Correctly:
Ensure that you install everything according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Make sure that all of the wires and connectors are linked in a safe and secure manner. -
Cables that are compatible:
You should make use of high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables, both of which should have ratings that correspond to the required distance and level of signal quality. Degradation of the signal might occur if the wires are of low quality or if they are damaged. -
Getting a Grip:
Make sure that all of the components have the correct grounding in order to prevent interference or signal loss. -
Length of the Cable:
For the sake of maintaining the signal’s integrity, you should be aware of the maximum cable lengths that are advised for both HDMI and Cat5e/6 cables. The use of signal boosters or repeaters may be necessary for longer cable lines. -
The power to:
Make sure that all of the necessary power sources are correctly connected and operating as intended. The performance of the extension can be negatively impacted by an incorrect power supply or unreliable electricity. -
The Quality of the Signal:
Verify the maximum resolution and refresh rate that the extender is capable of supporting. Check to see that the display at the distant locations corresponds with the one on the source device. -
Degrees Celsius:
It is best to keep the extender away from places where the temperatures are really high because this could compromise its effectiveness. -
Try to avoid any strain on your body:
Cables and connectors should not be bent, twisted, or subjected to an excessive amount of force at any point. This can cause the cables or connectors to get damaged, which will result in a loss of signal. -
The surroundings:
Keep the extender free from any dust, moisture, or other environmental variables that could potentially affect its performance. -
The placement of:
Install the extension at a location that has adequate ventilation to prevent it from overheating. -
Surfaces at an Elevated Level:
It is best to avoid setting the extender on top of any other devices that produce heat if at all feasible. The ability to dissipate heat more effectively is afforded by elevated surfaces. -
Static electricity discharge:
Take special precautions to prevent static discharge, which can cause irreparable harm to delicate electronic components, when handling the extender and the cables. -
Updates to the Firmware:
You should check to see if there are any newer versions of the extender’s firmware available. If there are updates available, make sure to upgrade the firmware by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer for the best possible performance. -
Guarantees and After-Sales Service:
Make sure you are familiar with the terms and conditions that are offered by the manufacturer for the warranty. If you run into any problems, don’t hesitate to get in touch with customer service for assistance.
