1.3 Regulatory Notices Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Any changes or modifications made to this equipment may void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.
Section 2: Introduction
The Avenview HDM3D-C5IR-SET HDMI extender over single CAT5E/6 with 3D, IR and RS232
bi-directional control as well as Auto EDID Learning extends 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. HDM3D-C5IR-SET also supports the most advanced 3D video format and therefore
guarantees the highest 3D video compatibility on the market. With only one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 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 advanced design for the latest HDMI technology, deep color video, DTS -HD Master Audio
or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP supports and compatibility are all supported. This flexibility makes HDCP
compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a greater distance at the
minimal cost, when integrating several components apart.
These bonus features allows users to boost IR control distance up to 100m (330 ft) and makes IR control
possible through only single Cat.5/5e/6 cable including HDMI signals. In addition, serial port offers the
convenient path for interactive application, such as touch panels.
The HDM3D-C5IR-SET includes two units: transmitting unit HDM3D-C5IR-S and receiving unit
HDM3D-C5IR-R. The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals with IR control packets
and carry the signals via one cost effective Cat5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the
transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR and serial control signals. The transmission distance between
the sending and receiving units can be up to 60m (200ft) at HD 720p or 1080i; or 40m (130ft) at Full HD 1080p.
With a Min/Max equalization rotary control on the receiving unit, users can adjust the equalization strength to
the received HDMI signals accordingly, and therefore optimize the transmission distance between source and
destination.

- Support HDMI Deep Color & full 3D
The claimed transmission distance here is subject to the grade of installed cable(s), source device
and display. For over CAT5/6transmission, the cable(s) has to be solid, not stranded. Any
keystone jack along the transmission path will kill the transmission performance significantly!
The IR and RS-232 function can NOT be used at the same time.

EQ level setting may cause overpowering issue that would shorten the product life significantly!
2.5 Auto EDID Learning
To learn EDID from the monitor/TV following these steps
1. Connect HDM3D-C5IR-R and the desired display through a HDMI cable and then connect
HDM3D-C5IR-S and the video source through a HDMI cable as well.
2. Turn on both the HDM3D-C5IR-S and the HDM3D-C5IR-R.
3. Set the Mode of HDM3D-C5IR-S to “H,” and wait for 3-5 seconds.
4. The device could learn the EDID of the desired display via HDM3D-C5IR-R after the step “3,”and enjoy
the experience; the users DO NOT need to power cycle again or even twice while plugging on
different displays.
Section 3: General Troubleshooting
Page 11
www.avenview.com

3.1 General Troubleshooting
- Wrongly inserting the 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.
- If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve
and provide DVI or HDMI display EDID information.
- All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP
cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.
- The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-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
[1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form
of fixed 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.
- EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5E/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
- To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5E/6 cable, one can
use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
- 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-5E/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6 cable is
recommended.
- 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
