IR CABLE DEFINITION

IR Sockets

IR BLASTER: plug in the IR blaster to the HBT-C6POE-R to emit all IR command signals received from the IR

Extender plugged into the Rx (Monitor Side) to control the devices corresponding to the IR signals.

Example: Set Top Box or DVD player (The Source).

IR EXTENDER: plug in the IR Extender into the (RX) Receiver (Monitor Side) to receive all IR command signals

from the IR remote controls of the corresponding source.
Example: Set Top Box or DVD player (IR Remote Control).

NOTE: Incorrect placement of IR Blaster and IR Extender into the extender may result in

the failure of the IR extenders.

Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets.

It is clearly marked and IR IN: IR EXTENDER /IR OUT: IR BLASTER

WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE DAMAGE.

5. GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

NO IMAGE

 Check if connection to the source and the display are correct.
 Ensure that display device supports 480p, 720p and 1080p 4K@30

resolution

 Terminated to 568B standard with Shielded Ends Recommended
 High Quality CAT5/6/7 Cable helps signal transmission
 Please use the supplied power supply-DC 24V 2.7A
 Check LED Link light see (Section 3 Panel Description)
 Check LED Sync light see (Section 3 Panel Description)

EDID ISSUE

 EDID MODE-: The unit will detect the 1st CAT5e/6/7 output’s

EDID. When obtained a (4K2K) Ultra HD 3840x2160 EDID the
signal is transmitted.

 If the 1st CAT5e/6/7 output is without a Ultra HD 3840x2160

EDID the unit will detect all output's EDID and Transmit the signal
that all outputs can accept.

Set-Top Box
No Picture

 HDBaseT and HDMI 1.3 standards support CLOCK

STRETCHING for i2c buss protocol

 Example set top boxes like Scientific Atlantic results no picture.

This can be resolved by swapping out the box for a newer version
that supports HDMI 1.3 not HDMI 1.2

NO Infrared
Communication

 Ensure the UTP cable is run within the wall away from EMI and

High Voltage power Lines.

 Please check manual of device to ensure proper placement of IR

Blaster on IR EYE.

 Some LED /Plasma TV have EMI interference with the IR

Extender, please place the IR Rx 3-6” away from Screen

Recommended TEST

End-to-End Testing

HDBaseT system, a final end-to-end test of all the A/V components
should take place. These tests include checking the HDMI stream at
the far end (sink end), the clock rate, frame compare, video pattern,
audio, EDID and HDCP with Quantum 780 (recommended)

Passive Monitoring:

Passive monitoring enables an integrator to view the HDCP
transactions, EDID exchange, as well as the connection events
between the actual devices in the network.

NOTICE

1.

All HDMI over UTP transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT6A (625MHz), 4-Pair,
U/UTP-Unshielded, Riser-CMR, Premise Horizontal Cable, 23 AWG Solid Bare Copper
Conductors, Polyolefin Insulation, Patented Double-H spline, Ripcord, PVC Jacket using Quantum
980 signal HDMI Video Generator Module Video Pattern Testing.

2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of category cables, also 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 1000ft bulk cable) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables
(usually in the form of patch cords). Shielded STP connectors are better suit than unshielded UTP
connectors. A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6
cable. For long extension users, solid cables are your only choice.

3. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for category cables is recommended for better performance.

4. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in category cable, you can
use shielded STP cables with shielded connector to improve EMI problems, which occurs in long
transmission.

5. Because the quality of the category cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance
will be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is subject to your
category cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a solid CAT6 cable is the only
viable choice.
