INTRODUCTION
The
CV-57VA HDMI Extender over Single Cat.X with HDBaseT-Lite, RS-232, Bi-directiona l IR &
boosts up your video/audio transmission distance up to 60m (198ft) in HDTV 1080p with 48-bit color
PoC
depth. CV-57VA also supports the most adv anced 3D v ideo format complaint w ith HDM I specification 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 or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP supports and compatibility are all further insured. This f lexibility 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. In addition, CV-57VA is also equipped with bi-directional IR pass-through path and RS-232 serial port control. These bonus features allow users to boost IR control distance up to 60m (198ft) 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. In addition, CV-57VA also supports PoC (Power over Cable) which can power both units from TX or RX with power supply.
The CV-57VA includes two units: transmitting unit CV-57VA-TX and receiv i ng unit CV-57VA-RX . The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals with IR control packets and carry the signals via one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR and serial control signals. CV-57VA offers the most convenient solution for digital signage with long distance A/V transmission path, and with 10G transmission width ready, CV-57VA is ready for your next HDMI generation and applications!

Termination
Please use EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) at any time
1. All HDMI over CAT 5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP
cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.
2. Incorrect placement of IR Blaster and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR extenders. Please
check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets. Warranty will not cover the damage.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/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.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can
use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6. 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, t he 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.
7. 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.
