INTRODUCTION:

The Atlona AT-HD4-V40SRS is an HDMI with Bi-Directional IR Extension Kit. The extenders are designed to
handle full 1080p up to 130ft and 1080i/720p up to 200ft. The HD4-V40SRS are capable of supporting very high
bandwidth and there are able to handle all 7 x 3D formats.

The Atlona HD4-V40SRS are based on the latest HDMI technology and therefore are capable of fully supporting
HDCP 2.0, Deep Color and DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio. In addition, AT-HD4-V40SRS are also equipped
with bi-directional IR pass-through, which allows users to control the sources from the remote location as well as
sending IR signal from a control system to a remote location. Perfect for Control4, RTI, HAI or any other control
system users or dealers.

The AT-HD4-V40SRS includes two modules: transmitting module and receiving module, where the transmitter

module converts HDMI with IR to RJ45 and the receiver module converts it back to HDMI and IR. The receiver

module is featured with 8-step equalization control, to allow users to adjust the equalization strength to the re­ceived HDMI signals accordingly, and therefore optimize the transmission distance between source and display.

PACKAGE CONTENTS:

• 1x AT-HD4-V40SRS (Transmitting and Receiving Modules)

• 1x IR blaster

• 1x IR receiver

• 2x 5V power supply unit

• 1x User’s manual

FEATURES:

• Extends the transmission range up to 130ft (40m) at full 1080p or 1920x1200 or 200ft (60M) at 1080i/720p

• Supports all latest Audio formats such as Dolby True HD, DTS-master, etc…

• 3D Compatible (all 7 formats), including the most popular e.g., Frame Packing, Side-by-Side, Top-to-Bottom,

etc...

• 7 x Embedded EDID functions and Learning EDID function available. Learning function allows user to trick
the source to think that it connected to the display rather than going though extenders. This advantage can x

a lot of EDID issues which may happened in a complicated installations with different components involved.

• Supports Bi-Directional IR pass-through up to 60Khz, allows users not only send IR signals from remote
location but also to remote location from a control system. Great for Control4 or RTI installers.

• Supports VESA DDC and Hot-Plug Detect (HPD)

• HDCP compatible

• DVI 1.0 compliant, user will need to use DVI/HDMI adapter

• Supports Deep Color

• Allows cascading

• Wall mounting housing design for easy and robust installation

• Locking Power connector

* The claimed transmission distance is subject to the grade of installed cable(s), source devices and displays.

* For Cat.X transmission, the cable(s) should be solid, not stranded. Any keystone jack along the transmission

path will lower the transmission performance signicantly!

INSTALLATION

1. Connect a HDMI or DVI source (such as a Blu-ray Disc player) to the transmitting module of AT-HD4- V40SRS.

2. Connect a HDMITM or DVI display (such as a LCD TV) to the receiving module of AT-HD4-V40SRS.

3. Connect IR Blaster/Receiver to both TX and RX modules.

4. Connect a Cat-5/5e/6/7 cable between the transmitting and receiving modules.

5. Make sure this Cat-5/5e/6/7 cable is tightly connected and not loose.

6. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the receiving module of AT-HD4-V40SRS.

7. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the transmitting module of AT-HD4-V40SRS.

8. If you see ickering or blinking image on the display, please adjust the rotary control switch to improve the
cable skew. MAX stands for the strongest HDMITM signal level for longest possible transmission length while
MIN stands for the weakest HDMITM signal level for short transmission length. Please adjust the signal level

from MIN to MAX and stop turning the rotary switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally.

EDID LEARNING

1. Turn off TX module and disconnect the Cat.5/5e/6/7 cable between TX and RX modules.

2. Connect the HDMI display to “HDMI IN” on the TX module with a HDMITM cable.

3. Set “MODE” on the transmitting module of AT-HD4-V40SRS at 7.

4. Connect the TX module to the power supply.

5. The LED on the RJ45 of the transmitting module will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning
procedure is complete.

6. Unplug the HDMI cable from the display and turn the “MODE” selection Clockwise to # 1 or # 0, depending
on whether the Stereo or Multi-Channel Audio is being transmitted.

Important Note: If user wants to erase learned EDID and set the transmitter’s EDID setting to default, please
dial the “MODE” Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise and pass #5

NOTICE

1. When adjusting the signal level on the receiver module, please dial the rotary control switch from MIN to MAX
and stop turning the rotary switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally. Inappropriate signal level

setting may cause overpowering issue that would shorten the product life signicantly!

2. Wrongly insert IR blaster and IR receiver to wrong 3.5mm infrared sockets may result in the failure of the IR
extenders. Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets.

3. If the DVI or HDMITM device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and
provide DVI or HDMITM display EDID information.

4. All HDMITM over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP

cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.

5. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMITM sources, and
the type of HDMITM display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m [1,000ft]

bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of xed length
patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP Cat-5e cable

shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long extension applications, solid UTP/
STP cables are the only viable choice.

6. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.

7. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can use
shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.

8. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 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.

9. If your HDMITM display has multiple HDMITM inputs, it is found that the rst HDMITM input [HDMITM input #1]
generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMITM inputs.

Possible Issues and Solutions:

1. No Audio/video Signal on the Display or Signal is going in and Out:
a. Please test your RJ45 cables with a Fluke or similar tester to make sure that all the wires are connected
and the distance is within the limits.
b. If you are using patch panel or and RJ45 wall plates, the distance will be reduced, please do a direct con-
necting bypassing all additional equipment.
c. Please try to re-terminate your CAT5/6/7 wire to 568B
d. Please try adjusting EQ gain on the receiver unit

e. Please try changing a mode on the transmitter to #0 or to #1 (depending on the audio format required

f. Please go into the menu of the source device and select 720p/1080i or 1080p resolution instead of AUTO
g. If the sync device is a projector or AVR, please try learning EDID, instructions are on the previous page

2. When connected between 3D player and 3D display, only able to see 2D image:
a. Please try changing “MODE” on the transmitter module to 4 or 6
b. Please go into the menu of the source device and enable 3D

3. Signal is Going In and Out when going into the AVR; however works well connected directly to the TV
a. Please try Learning EDID of the AVR while the AVR HDMI out is connected to the display (both AVR and
Display should be ON)

b. Select “MODE” on the transmitter to # 0, #2 or # 4
