Installation
Important! Before starting the installation, please ensure that all devices are powered off.
The following steps are for an installation using HDMI equipment, if you are using DVI
equipment, please substitute the HDMI cables for DVI to HDMI cables where required.
1. Connect your HDMI source to the HDMI Extender Transmitter unit using a HDMI cable
(maximum length 2m).
2. Connect one end of the Cat.5e/6/7 cable (max. length 70m) to the HDBaseT port on the
Transmitter and the other end to the HDBaseT port of the Receiver. Use solid core
installation cable of at least Cat.5e UTP.
3. Use another HDMI cable (maximum length 2m) to connect your HDMI display device to the
HDMI output port on the Receiver unit.
4. For additional Infrared remote signal functionality, connect the included IR Extension Cables
to the Transmitter and Receiver units.
5. At the Transmitter side, place the IR Eye in front of the HDMI source devices IR receiver. At
the remote side, place the IR Eye in a location where it may easily receive the signal of your
IR remote.
6. Plug the DC power supply into the Transmitter and switch on.
7. Power on your HDMI Source and Display to complete the installation.
Troubleshooting
There is no display on the screen.
 Check that the DC plug and jack used by external power supply is firmly connected and
screwed on securely
 Check that the Cat.5e/6/7 cable is plugged in correctly and that the Link Status LED is lit.
 Check that the HDMI source and display are both powered on and active
 Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the transmitter unit, then the
display and finally the source.
 For several HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and replug their HDMI connection to
re-initiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.
 Reduce the length of Cat.5e/6/7 or HDMI cable used, or use a higher quality cable.
General Guidelines
 If you are terminating the Cat.5e/6/7 yourself, ensure that you untwist less than 13mm of
cable to make the connection; otherwise you may introduce cross-talk which will affect the
performance of the Extender.
 Do not twist, kink or over extend the Cat.5e/6/7 cable, and ensure that its minimum bend
radius is observed (usually this is 4 x the outer dimension of the cable).
 Do not use excessive force when pulling the cable.
