Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Lindy C6 HDMI 2.0 18G HDBaseT Extender. This product has been designed to provide trouble free, reliable operation. It benefits from both a LINDY 2 year warranty and free lifetime technical support. To ensure correct use, please read this manual carefully and retain it for future reference.
The C6 Lindy HDMI 2.0 18G HDBaseT Extender is a cost-effective, high- performance solution for sending HDMI 2.0 signals over long distances, helping break the distance barrier for HDMI 2.0. Using a single low-cost Cat.6 cable to make the long-distance connection, the HDMI Extender provides full support for Ultra HD 4K 60Hz resolutions, including support for HDR10 (High Dynamic Range) and HDCP 2.2, ensuring it meets the demands of contemporary AV installations. Support for the full range of HDMI 2.0 defined resolutions, which need up to 18Gbps of bandwidth, requires the Extender to use visually lossless compression, latency-free technology, to enable the extension of signals via HDBaseT Technology.
For added convenience and to enable discreet installation of the Receiver unit the Extender supports PoC (Power over Cat.6) allowing a single power supply to be used with either the Transmitter or Receiver to power both units.
Please Note: The quoted lengths and resolutions are possible with a direct connection between Transmitter and Receiver using good quality Cat.6 solid core cable. Using a different cable type, or introducing wall plates, couplers or patch panels will result in a reduction of possible distances.

Connect your HDMI equipped source device to the Transmitter unit using a good quality HDMI cable.
Connect one end of the Cat.6/7 cable (max. length 100m @ 1920x1080p or 70m @ 3840x2160p) to the HDBaseT OUT port on the Transmitter and the other end to the HDBaseT IN port of the Receiver. U/UTP or F/UTP solid core installation cable is recommended.
Use another HDMI cable to connect your HDMI display device to the HDMI output port on the Receiver unit.
Plug the DC power supply into the Transmitter or Receiver and switch on.
Power on your source device and display to complete the installation.

In addition to the basic installation steps outlined above the HDMI 2.0 18G Extender can also provide the following additional/optional functionality:
10/100 Ethernet
The Transmitter and Receiver units both feature a single RJ45 port for the connection of the network equipment such as a Router, Network Switch, IP Camera, Wireless Access Point, or Smart TV.
RS-232 Serial
The Transmitter and Receiver both feature a phoenix block Serial connection for the extension of control signals.
Infrared Control
The Transmitter and Receiver units both feature an IR In and Out port, with two pairs of IR extension cables provided. The extension cables allow an IR remote control to be used from the Transmitter to the Receiver or vice versa.

Troubleshooting

There is no display on the screen.

It has been found that there are significant differences in the cable lengths/types and even input ports that can be used on different brands of HDTV using HDMI 2.0 4K 60Hz. If you experience problems, please use the following steps:
Try a different input port on your HDTV.
Reduce the cable length on the Input and Output to 1m.
Try a different type of 1m HDMI Cable.
Check that the DC plug and jack used by the external power supply are firmly connected and that the power LED is illuminated on both the Transmitter and Receiver.
Check that the Cat.6/7 cable is plugged in correctly and that the Green Link Status LED on the left side of both the HDBaseT In and Out ports are lit.
Check that the Yellow Sync Status LED on the right side of the HDBaseT In and Out ports are flashing, if not please power cycle the source and display.
For several HDMI devices, it may be helpful to unplug and replug 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.
