Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The VSPX-HDM I1X4-TX transmitter works with the VSPX-HDMI-RX or VSPXHDMI-CSRX receiver to extend high-definition video and high-quality audio to
different locations over a long distance. The transmitters are cascadable,
enabling you to increase the number of total displays. The input HDMI source
can be duplicated and distributed to up to four HDMI enabled displays linked by
CAT5/5e/6 cables with HDMI over CAT5 receivers (VSPX-HDMI). If you only
need a single port transmitter, buy the compatible 3D HDM I extender kit
(VX-HDMI-TP-3D40M).
The VSPX-HDMI1X4-TX also has a local HDMI output for monitoring. With
built-in equalization, the input HDMI cable can be extended up to 66 feet
(20 meters) using Full HD, making the overall transmission distance better when
compared to generic HDM I splitters.
The VSPX-HDM I-CSRX receiver works with the VSPX-HDMI1X4 transmitter,
VSPX-HDMI-RX receiver, or VX-H DMI-TP-3D40 M extender kit to distribute
HDMI/ DVI video sources to up to ten displays in a daisychained connection via
CAT5/5e. By using the VSPX-HDMI1X4-TX transmitter and making four separate
chains, the number of displays can be increased to a total of 40. The cascade
ability allows pure digital video and audio broadcast station by station and
extends HDMI compliant video and audio anywhere.
The VSPX-HDMI- RX receiver works with the transmitter or VSPX-HDMI-CSRX
cascadable receiver to extend high-definition video and high -quality audio over
a distance via C AT5/5e/ 6 cable. The receiver works with an H DMI transmitter or
splitter over single CAT5 and enables you to extend HDMI compliant displays
almost anywhere.
2.2 Features

Chapter 4: Installation
4. Installation
To broadcas t HDMI signals to four remote displays with a local port, follow
these instructions.
1. Turn off all devices, including sources and displays.
2. Connect an HDMI source (such as a Blu-ray disc player) to the HDMI port on
the transmitter.
3. Connect the receivers via CAT5/5e/ 6 cables to each HDMI signal output port.
4. Connec t the local HDMI equipped monitor.
5. Set EDID DIP switch settings of the transmitter according to your displays
(Chapter 3).
6. If the monitor’s resolution or refresh rate differs from the extender’s built in
EDID settings, set DIP switch to EDID learning to copy the EDID from the local
monitor (Section 3.2).
7. Plug in the 5-VDC, 4-A power supplies.
8. Power on the HDMI displays.
9. Power on the H DMI source device.
10. If you see a flickering or blinking image on the remote displays, adjust the
rotary control switch on the receivers to adjust the video signal strength
(see Table 2-2 or 2-3).
11. If you are installing several VSPX-HDM I-CSRX units in a cascade setup,
always start by adjusting signal strength on the unit nearest the transmitter,
and move on to the adjacent units.
