INTRODUCTION
Atlona Technologies Atlona’s AT-HD-V40SRS HDMI 1.3 over Single CAT5 Extender boosts up your
video/audio transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV 1080i format, 40m (130ft) in HDTV
1080p format, and 20m (65ft) in HDTV 1080p with 36 bit color depth. With only one cost effective
solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable, users can readily extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray
Disc player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources compliant with TMDS to distant display monitors
including HDMI or DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors.
With the state-of-the-art Silicon Image HDMI 1.3 chipsets equipped, deep color video, DTS-HD or
Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP supports and compatibility are all further insured. This flexibility
makes HDCP compliant BD players or PS3 transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a
greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components apart.
The AT-HD-V40SRS includes two units: Sender (AT-HD-V40SS) and Receiver (AT-HD-V40RS) units.
The Sender unit is used to capture the input HDMI/DVI signals and carry the signals through one RJ45 connector into one cost effective solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable. The Receiver unit is responsible
for equalizing the sent TMDS multimedia data. The transmission distance between the sender and
receiver units can be up to 60m (200ft) under HD (720p/1080i) or 40m (130ft) under Full HD (1080p).
With an 8-level equalization control switch on the receiving unit, users can adjust the equalization
strength to the received TMDS signals accordingly, and therefore optimize the transmission distance
between source and destination.

6 = [Default Mode] – uses default EDID2 with video supported up to 1080p
7 = [EDID Learning Mode] – learns EDID3 from the display
Note for EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) learning
1. If you cannot get the audio/video output from the connected display from the first time setup.
Please follow the instructions below to check if the extender is OK:
Step 1 – Please set the rotary arrow on TX at “Mode 5” for Safe Mode, and wait for the LED of the
RJ-45 connector blinks for a couple seconds.
Step 2 – Please turn the rotary arrow counterclockwise [] from Mode 5 to Mode 3. If you can get
audio/video from the display, you can stay tune at this setting for 720p or 1080i and stereo
audio. If you need to get 720p/1080i with 7.1ch audio output, please turn the rotary arrow
counterclockwise [] from Mode 3 to Mode 2. For better audio/video output, please check
Note#2. If you still cannot get the audio/video out normally, please go on the next step.
Step 3 – Please turn the rotary arrow counterclockwise [] from Mode 3 to Mode 7. Wait a few
seconds until the LED of the RJ-45 connector dims and then lights again.
Step 4 – Please turn the rotary arrow clockwise [] from Mode 7 to Mode 1. You should have normal
audio/video output. If not, please contact technical support.
2. For desirable 1080p video output, please follow the instructions below:
Step 1 – Please set the rotary arrow on TX at “Mode 6” for Default Mode, and wait for the LED of
the RJ-45 connector blinks for a couple seconds.
Step 2 – Please turn the rotary arrow clockwise [] from Mode 6 to Mode 1. If you can get
audio/video from the display, you can stay tune at this setting for 1080p and stereo audio. If
you need to get 1080p with 7.1ch audio output, please turn the rotary arrow
counterclockwise [] from Mode 1 to Mode 0. If you cannot get the audio/video out
normally, please go on the next step.

Page 7
Step 3 – Please turn the rotary arrow counterclockwise [] from Mode 0/1 to Mode 7. Wait a few
seconds until the LED of the RJ-45 connector dims and then lights again.
Step 4 – Please turn the rotary arrow clockwise [] from Mode 7 to Mode 0/1. You should have your
desirable audio/video output. If not, please follow the instruction in Note#1.
3. To learn EDID from the HDMI display, please follow the instruction below:
Step 1 – Please connect the display which you want to read EDID with a HDMI cable to the
transmitter’s HDMI IN and set the rotary arrow at Mode 7 so the TX can learn the EDID
information from the connected display. The LED on the RJ45 connector of TX will dim and
light again in a few seconds, which indicates the EDID learning procedure is complete.
Step 2 – Please turn the rotary arrow clockwise [] from Mode 7 to Mode 0 or Mode 1 for desirable
audio setting and enjoy the experience. DO NOT let the rotary arrow pass by Mode 5 and
Mode 6 which will erase the EDID just learned and restore the default EDID.

Signal Level: Adjust the 8-level signal equalization control to the received HDMI signals. The HDMI
signal level varies from 0 (strongest) to 7 (weakest) for respective transmission length from longest
possible range to short distance. Dial the Signal Level from 7 to 0 and stop turning the rotary
switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally. Inappropriate signal level setting may cause
overpowering issues that would shorten the product’s life significantly!
HDMI OUT: Connect to a HDMI display or projector with a HDMI male-male cable here.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. Connect the HDMI or DVI source (such as a Blu-ray Disc player) to the Sender Unit AT-HD-V40SS.
2. Connect the HDMI or DVI display (such as a LCD HDTV) to the Receiver Unit AT-HD-V40RS.
3. Connect a solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable between the Sender and Receiver units.
4. Make sure this solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable is tightly connected and not loose.
5. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the interlocking power jack of the Receiver Unit AT-HD-V40RS.
6. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the interlocking power jack of the Sender Unit AT-HD-V40SS.
7. If you see flickering or blinking image on the display, adjust the rotary control switch to improve the
cable skew. 0 stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for longest possible transmission length while
7 stands for the weakest HDMI signal level for short transmission length. Try adjusting the signal level
from 7 to 0 to find the optimal setting for the HDMI over CAT5 transmission.
EDID LEARNING
1. Turn on Sender unit AT-HD-V40SS.
2. Turn the MODE of AT-HD-V40SS to 7.
3. Connect the HDMI display to the HDMI IN of AT-HD-V40SS with a HDMI cable. The LED on the RJ-45
connector of AT-HD-V40SS will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning procedure is
complete.
4. Turn the MODE of AT-HD-V40SS clockwise
most important thing is don’t let the rotary arrow pass through MODE 5 and MODE 6 which will
erase the EDID just learned and restore to default EDID.
5. Unplug the HDMI cable from the display and follow the instruction in [Hardware Installation] to set up
the AT-HD-V40SRS and enjoy the experience.

NOTICE
1. When adjusting the signal level on the receiver unit, dial the rotary control switch from 7 to 0 and
stop turning the rotary switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally. Inappropriate signal
level setting may cause overpowering issues that would shorten the product’s life significantly!
2. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use AT-DVISync EDID
Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide EDID information of the DVI or HDMI display or AV receiver.
3. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT5e 125MHz UTP
cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
4. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of category cables, the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI displays. 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.
5. EIA/TIA-568 -B termination (T568B) for category cables is recommended for better performance.
6. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in a category cable,
shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables to improve EMI problems,
which is worse in long transmission.
7. Because the quality of the category 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.
8. 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.
