Wyrestorm EX-40 Quick Start Manual

Low Profile Single Cable HD Extender Set with
Bidirectional IR Control
Part Number
EX-40
1
Using quality HDMI cables, connect an HDMI source (such
as Blu-Ray, games console, satellite/cable TV, media server
etc.) to the EX-40 Transmitter.
2
Connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat5e/6 cable of
no more than 40m/131ft in length between the UTP Output of
the EX-40 Transmitter to the UTP Input of the EX-40 receiver.
!
40m/131ft is the maximum recommended
transmission distance for this model and denotes perfect
transmission conditions - including straight cable runs
with no electrical interference, bends, kinks, patch panels
or wall outlets. If any of the above is a factor in your
installation, transmission range may be affected – take
care to avoid where possible.
3
Connect the HDMI sink (LED/LCD display or projector) to
the HDMI Output of the EX-40 Receiver
!
We strongly recommend using supplied mounting
brackets to secure the receiver to a flat surface behind/
near the sink device. Sudden movement of these devices
could lead to loss of picture/sound if connections
become loose or strained, resulting in unnecessary
service call-backs.
NOTE: If daisy-chaining extenders, repeat process for all
EX-40 transmitters and receivers used.
4

Connect the 12v power supply or 5v USB power lead

included to the EX-40 Transmitter and Receiver and power on
your EX-40 extenders, source and display devices.
Check POWER, STATUS lights are illuminated on both EX-40
Transmitters and Receiver to indicate a successful connection.
Note: We do not recommend passing remote power through
the EX-40 - local power is required at the display point.

Signal IR Control Connection

5
For two-way IR control of connected source and display
from either location, first, connect IR TX emitters from the IR TX
ports of the EX-40 Transmitter and Receiver and firmly attach
the IR TX emitter eye directly over the infrared receiving sensors
of the source and display device to be controlled. Location of
the emitter eye on each device may need to be adjusted later to
achieve best IR performance.
!
If unsure of positioning, IR sensors can be located
on devices by shining a flashlight onto the facia of the
device - the IR sensor should be identifiable as a small
round sensor behind the panel. Consult your device
manufacturer handbook if unsure.

Extending HDMI using Single Cat5e/6 to 40m/131ft
6
Insert IR receivers into IR RX ports of the EX-40
Transmitter and Receiver. If using a control system, an IR Link
cable (WyreStorm p/n CAB-IR-LINK) should be used instead to
connect between the IR RX port of the EX-40 Transmitter and
the control system used.
Position the IR RX eye on or near the display or source device,
ensuring a clear line of sight to the remote handset used to
control it.

*PLEASE NOTE - All cable distances are on the basis of a direct runs of cable (no
patch panels or wall outlets). Please use good quality, solid conductor, Cat5e cable.
Standard pre-made patch leads will reduce effectiveness of this product. Please
ensure Cat5e cables are installed to local electrical regulations. Close lying electrical
cables can effect product performance.

TRANSMITTER
NOTE: Although WyreStorm
products are tested with Cat5e,
we recommend Cat6 due to
increased bandwidth capability
and improved capacity for
handling large transmissions
along a single cable.
