Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Lindy 50m Cat.6 HDMI 18G & IR Extender with PoC & Loop Out. 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 Lindy 50m Cat.6 HDMI 18G & IR extender with PoC & Loop out is an effective, reliable solution for extending high quality 4K Ultra HD signals over distances up to 50m (164.04ft) with standard Cat.5e/6 or higher network cable.

Support for the HDMI 2.0 specification allows for the transmission of highly detailed 4K Ultra HD resolutions, while power over cable (PoC) functionality provides power to the whole system using only one power supply with a secure, screw type DC jack connecting to the transmitter. The extender features an HDMI loop-through output on the transmitter with simultaneous viewing allowing users the option to connect a local display for monitoring, or to create an additional viewing zone & IR pass-through allowing the user to control source devices from the remote location. The extender also features a simple EDID pass-through dip switch, allowing the user to select either the local, or remote display’s EDID. This ensures maximum compatibility as you can set select the most suitable EDID for use with both displays.

Overview

The following steps are for an installation using HDMI equipment, if you are using DVI equipment, please substitute HDMI cables for DVI to HDMI cables where required.

Connect your HDMI source to the “HDMI IN” port on the transmitter using a High-Speed HDMI cable.
Connect one end of a Cat.5e/6 cable or higher to the “CAT OUT” port on the transmitter, and the other end to the “CAT IN” port on the receiver.
To utilize the loop out feature, connect a local display or projector to the “HDMI OUT” port on the transmitter using a High-Speed HDMI cable.
Connect your remote display to the “HDMI OUT” port on the receiver using an HDMI cable.
Connect the included IR emitter cable to the “IR OUT” port on the transmitter, and the IR receiver cable to the “IR IN” port on the receiver.
Ensure the emitters eye is in line with the IR receiver on the source device. Ensure that the IR receiver is in a clear line of sight of the remote control.
Using the EDID switch, select which display you want to take the EDID from for your alternate display. Select TX to pass-through the EDID from the local display (if connected) or select RX if you would like to pass-through the EDID from your remote display.
Connect the locking DC power supply to the DC12V port on the transmitter. The transmitter and receiver will immediately turn on, then switch on the display(s) and finally your source device.
The installation is now complete.

Please note: If you are using two displays with different EDID’s, please set the EDID switch accordingly to enable pass-through from the display with the lowest capability, ensuring maximum compatibility.

Troubleshooting

When Installation is complete, if there is no video being displayed, please consider the following steps to resolve the issue.

Check that the DC plug and jack used by the external power supply are firmly connected and that the POWER LED’s on both the transmitter and receiver are both illuminated.
Check that the Cat.5e/6 or higher cable is seated correctly and that the DATA LED on the receiver is illuminated.
Check that all HDMI connections between the source device, transmitter, receiver and displays are seated correctly and secure.
Power off all of the devices, then power on in this order: first the transmitter & receiver, followed by the display(s) and finally the source device.
For some HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and replug their HDMI connection to re-initiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.
Check the length of the Cat.5e/6 or higher cables against the table shown in the installation section of this manual. Reduce the lengths if necessary or use a higher quality cable.
Check the lengths of the input and output HDMI cables used against the maximum recommended lengths in the “Specification”. Please consider reducing the length or using a higher quality cable.
