The 4K-9000 is a fully comprehensive test tool for HDBaseT installs, compatible with all HDBaseT certified products. The 4K-9000 has two variants, a transmitter, 4K-TX9000 and a receiver, 4K-RX9000. They can be used in conjunction with one another or individually with any other manufacturers HDBaseT compliant hardware.
4K-9000 USER MANUAL V1.1 6.3.2 SMART-E RECOMMENDED CABLE CHOICE The cable specification below has been rigorously tested by Smart-e engineers and verified to transmit a 3840x2160, HDCP2.2, 4:2:0 specification image over a distance of 100m. Connectix CAT6a U/FTP Solid core cable (up to 90m)
4K-9000 USER MANUAL V1.1 9 BASIC SETUP There are three possible setups which can be implemented using the 4K-9000s, firstly a 4K-TX9000 in use with a HDBaseT receiver, for example the 4K-RX866. Secondly, a 4K-RX9000 in use with a HDBaseT transmitter, for example the 4K-TX866.
1. Test CATx cable for continuity using a network cable tester 2. Connect HDMI cable between 4K-TX9000 and source 3. Connect 5V power supply to 4K-TX9000, then attach power supply to mains outlet 4. Connect CATx cable to RJ45 HDBaseT output on 4K-TX9000 5.
13 INTERPRETTING BIT ERROR RATES Bit error rate readings are available on both the TX and RX variants of the 4K-9000, one on the 4K-TX9000 the total BER and four on the 4K-RX9000, video BER, audio BER, blank BER and control BER.

9000 individually and then in tandem to isolate the faulty piece of hardware. As mentioned the only BER reading for the 4K-TX9000 is the total BER. This reading should always read 10^- 10 or very close to, if it is not it would suggest an issue with the CATx cable. The signal strength indicator on the 4K-TX9000 is linked to the total BER reading, this means whilst viewing any other reading on the 4K- TX9000 the user can quickly check the total BER at a glance.
The readings seen on all four channels should be around -17db ± 2dB for a good quality signal. The 4K-TX9000, the secondary quality indicator is referred to as the mean average error or as it is displayed on the LCD screen MAE. There is then a letter between A and D for the four communication channels. The readings seen on all four channels should be around -22db ±...

This measurement is available on both the TX and RX variants. A number of in house tests have been carried out using the 4K-9000 here at Smart-e, they involved varying resolutions, refresh rates and colour depths to ascertain the TMDS clock speed as read by the 4K-9000.
Here at Smart-e we recommend a program developed by EnTech Taiwan called MonInfo, below is an example of the real-time information which may be read from a screen attached to a PC with MonInfo software installed.
