INTRODUCTION
Atlona Technologies’ AT-HD14SS 1x4 HDMI 1.3 over Single CAT5/6 Distribution Amplifier
provides the most flexible solution in the Audio Video industry at which high definition video and
high quality audio can be transmitted to different locations over a long distance. The splitter is
cascadable, allowing you to daisy chain multiple units for extending HDMI displays almost
anywhere at almost any distance. The input HDMI source can be duplicated and distributed to
up to 4 HDMI enabled displays through cost effective Cat-5/6 cables and RJ-45 to HDMI miniextenders (AT-HD15SRS) or long range receivers (AT-HDRS). The built-in re-clocking
technology allows users to connect long distance cables up to 66ft to the input of the Atlona
1x4 splitter.
FEATURES
State-of-the-art Silicon Image (founder of HDMI) chipset used for 99.99% compatibility
and reliability
HDMI 1.3c compliant
HDCP compliant
Regenerates HDMI signal
Supports default HDMI EDID and has the ability to learn the EDID of displays
Extends up to 20m (66ft) of input HDMI cable
Extends up to 60m (200ft) of output Cat-5/5e/6 cable under HD (720p / 1080i)
Extends up to 40m (130ft) of output Cat-5/5e/6 cable under Full HD (1080p)
Uncompressed 7.1ch digital HDMI over Cat-x cable transmission
Cascadable for longer extension
Perfectly integrated with other HDMI over CAT5/6 series products including LYNX CAT
Series
Wall mountable
Note: The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and
longer trans- mission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance.
Unshielded CAT6 with metal
RJ-45 connectors is recommended.

Note:
1
If the HDTV shows video but without audio, please try to set audio mode to stereo.
2
Factory default setting of Mode is pin-1 [OFF] & pin-2 [OFF] for 1080p with stereo.
3
If you encounter any unsolved audio/video output problem during system installation, please turn
any Mode to pin-1 [OFF] & pin-2 [ON] for safe mode to enforce the most compatible 720p
stereo output for system check. However, the safe mode cannot be initiated if your HDMI source
is set to enforce 1080p output. In this case, please reconfigure your HDMI source to all
resolution output for troubleshooting.
4
Bypass means the distribution amplifier will maintain playing the original format of HDMI
signals in video and perhaps audio. By setting at this mode, the users may encounter
compatibility issue among different kindsof HDMI sources and displays. If you cannot get the
audio and/or video output normally at the system installation, please change the DIP switch
setting to default mode or even safe mode to verify the functionality of the device.
5
To learn the EDID of HDMI display for respective HDMI source devices, set pin-1 at [ON] first
then connect the HDTV sets to the HDMI INPUT via HDMI cable. Then please wait for 20
seconds for completing the EDID learning procedure. If you want to learn the EDID from
another HDTV, you must set pin#1 at [OFF] first and repeat this procedure all over again.

NOTICE
1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to
retrieve and provide EDID information of the DVI or HDMI display or AV receiver.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT5e 125MHz
UTP cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in
the form of 300m or 1,000ft bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP
cables (usually in the form of fixed length patch cords). A solid UTP Cat-5e cable shows
longer transmission range than a stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long extension applications,
solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better
performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable,
shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables to improve EMI problems,
which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the CAT-5/6 cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit
can achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject
to one’s choice of Cat-5/5e/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a
Cat-6 cable is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the first HDMI input [HDMI input
#1] generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
