Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the 100m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60, Audio, IR & RS-232 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 Lindy Cat.6 HDBaseT HDMI 4K60 & IR Extender is a complete high-performance solution 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 eyecatching digital signage in retail, immersive displays at events or engaging setups in larger conference rooms or lectures halls.
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, or introducing wall plates, couplers or patch panels may result in a reduction of possible distances.

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 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 and jack used by the external power supply is 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 Connection LED on the left side of both the HDBaseT In and Out ports are illuminated.
•  Check that the HDMI Indicator LED on the right side of the HDBaseT In and Out ports are 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 reinitiate 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.
