UltraCat™ HDMI over Cat-5e High Speed Extender Instructions – READ ME FIRST

The Accell UltraCat™ HDMI over Cat5e High Speed Extenders enables an HDMI audio and video signal to travel across UTP (Cat5e or Cat-6) LAN cables. The UltraCat extenders support HD resolution transfer over long cable runs in lengths of up to 328 feet (100m) for 1080p video. For longer runs the UltraCat High Speed Extenders can be cascaded.

*All cable lengths are approximate depending on cable quality and environmental RF and EMI. Not all Cat-5e and Cat-6 cables are of the same quality. The above supported lengths are achievable using good quality, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cat-5e/Cat-6 cables that are certified and rated at 350MHz or greater and operating in normal conditions. The Cat-5e/6 cable RJ-45 connectors must be terminated to the TIA/EIA-568B standard.

Caution: Ensure the unit has sufficient ventilation. Do not cover ventilation openings. Do not operate at temperatures exceeding 35°C/95°F. Unplug power adapters if not use for an extended period of time. Do not use near liquid.

■Setup

Connecting the UTP cable

1) Connect the HDMI output of the video source (such as DVD, PS3, STB etc.) to the HDMI In port on the Transmitter.

2) Connect a CAT-5e/6 cable from UTP Out port on the Transmitter to UTP Input port located on the Receiver.

3) Connect the HDMI Display (such as an HD-TV) to the HDMI Out on the Receiver.

For IR control transmission over the UTP cable

1) Connect the IR TX emitter cable into the IR TX port on the Transmitter; Connect the IR RX receiver cable into the IR RX port on the Receiver.

2) Connect the IR RX receiver cable into the IR RX port on the Transmitter. Connect the IR TX emitter cable into the IR TX port located on the Receiver.

Note: A small adhesive tab is included in each bag of emitter cables. Peel away the

clear adhesive and apply over the IR receiver location on video source or TV. Press the emitter head onto the adhesive.

For Ethernet transmission over the UTP cable

1) Connect a CAT-5e/6 cable from your router or other Ethernet source to the Ethernet port located on the Transmitter.

2) Connect a CAT-5e/6 cable from the Ethernet port located on the Receiver to the device intended to receive the Ethernet signal.

Using RS-232

The RS232 Port can be set via jumpers to update the firmware within the Transmitter and Receiver or for use for RS232 control signal transmission over UTP. By default the extenders are configured for RS-232 control signal transmission.

■Firmware Update via RS-232

Use this feature if Accell has a firmware update available and recommends the update for your use.

1. Unplug the power adapters from both Extenders.

2. Open the case of both the Transmitter and Receiver to gain access to the jumpers.

3. According to the printing (“Update” for firmware update, “Normal” for RS232 transmission) on the circuit board, relocate the jumper cap in both of the extenders to the Update position.

4. Plug in the power adapters and follow the update instructions provided with the firmware.

5. Upon completion of firmware update, unplug the power adapters from both of the extenders.

6. Return jumpers to Normal position and close the cases. Plug in the power adapters.
