1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Cat 5 HDMI extender system from Audio
Authority. The HDP-11 transmits HDMI signals over Cat 5e/6 cables
to achieve distances many times those possible using an HDMI cable.
The HDP-11 can achieve distances of 450 feet (150m) with 1080p and
embedded 2-channel audio.
The HDP-11 employs a combination of digital and analog transmission
methods over two Cat 5 cables (Cat 5, Cat 5e or Cat 6 Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cables may be used). Cat 5 cable A carries the
digital video and audio signals, and cable B caries the HDCP and
DDC channels. When transmitting video signals that are not protected
by HDCP, it is possible that only cable A may be required. Call Audio
Authority technical support for details.
Audio Authority offers an extensive line of audio and video switchers,
converters, and distribution amps available for purchase online at
www.audioauthority.com or through authorized dealers.
