Introduction

The Cat5 HDMI Expander system consists of Transmitter, Transceiver and Receiver. The system can extend HDMI signals over Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable. By cascading Transceivers, it is possible to extend the HDMI signals with almost unlimited capacity. The Cat5 HDMI Expander system is a great solution for digital signage, public information display, and large scale demonstration, where crystal-clear, high-resolution digital video needs to be shown.

By taking the advantage of cost efficient Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable, the Cat5 HDMI Expander can simplify installation. With its unlimited cascading capacity, you can extend digital video displays almost anywhere. The

Transmitter and Transceiver units are tted with magnetic pads, enabling them to be quickly attached to metal surfaces. A screw xing plate is also

included for permanent installations.

conn ector, a HDMI-H R Rec eiver i s req uired . Typical cascade d distance is: < 80m. for 480p, < 70m. for 720p/1080i, or < 30m. for 1080p. (Distance is based on FTP cable skew < 15ns/100m).

Installation and Operation

1. Install HDMI-E102T Transmitter:

(1) Firs t Time Set-up: P le ase turn off the HDMI output dev ice and

monitors.

(2) Device Connection: Connect local HDMI monitor (M1) to the “HDMI/

M1 OUT” of the transmitter and take the HDMI cable, plug one end to “HDMI IN” port of transmitter and the other end of the cable to the HDMI output port of HDMI output device.

(3) Connect the power adaptor to the “DC5V” and plug into the power

outlet.

(4) System Turned On: Turn on your HDMI output device and monitor to

conrm the function of display. The “M1 LINK” LED of the transmitter

should turn on orange to reflect t he conn ection of a local HDMI monitor.

(5) Other Monitors: Please make sure the other HDMI monitors used in

Transceiver can also display the video resolution broadcasted.

(6) EQ Adjustment: In most of the cases, you can adjust the EQ control

to Auto mode by rotate the EQ to the left side and the “EQ” and ” Auto” LEDs will turn on blue. If you see some dynamic dots or unclear image on the HDMI monitor, it reflects the HDMI signal received by Transmitter need to be adjusted. Then you can adjust the EQ control for better image display, it will turn the EQ into manual mode, the “EQ” and ”Auto” LED will turn off to indicate the manual EQ mode.

2. Installation of HDMI-E102TR Transceiver:

(1) Mo nito r Co nnec tion : Co nne c t H D MI moni t or’s HDM I ca ble to

Transceiver and turn on the monitor.

(2) Device Connection: Plug power adaptor to HDMI-E102TR, the “PWR”

LED and “M1 LINK” will turn ON, the other “LINK” LED should turn off, since there is no input of video signal from “LINK IN” port.

(3) HDMI Cascading: The RJ-45 “LINK IN” port is designed to receive

the HDMI signal from Transmitter over Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable, follow previous section to install Transmitter and extend the HDMI signal here.

(4) EQ Adjustment : In most of the cases, you can adjust the EQ control

to Auto mode by rotate the EQ to the left side and the “EQ” and ” Auto” LEDs will turn on blue. After connecting the expander system, if you see some dynamic dots or unclear image on the HDMI monitor, it

reects the HDMI signal received by Transmitter need to be adjusted.

Then you can adjust the EQ control for better image display, it will turn the EQ into manual mode, the “EQ” and ”Auto” LED will turn off to indicate the manual EQ mode.

(5) LINK OUT : The function of “LINK OUT” port on Transceiver will act

the same as Transmitter’s. It can extend/cascade HDMI signal to (A) HDMI-HR Receiver, (B) another one-port HDMI Transceiver or (C) 4/8-port HDMI Transceiver as following illustration.

Transceiver’s “HDMI/LOCAL OUT” port and turn on the monitor.

(3) Device Connection: Plug power adaptor to Multi-port Transceiver,

the front panel’s “POWER” LED and “LOCAL LINK” will turn ON, the “ACTIVE” LED will turn ON till Transceiver has received active HDMI signal.

(4) HDMI Sources: The “HDMI IN” can receive HDMI signal from (A)

standard HDMI output device or (B) HDMI-E102T / HDMI-E102TR / HDMI-E104C / HDMI-108C by using a HDMI-RJ45 Receiver.

(5) EQ Adjustment: In most of the cases, you can adjust the EQ control

reects the HDMI signal received by Transmitter need to be adjusted.

Then you can adjust the EQ control for better image display, it will turn the EQ into manual mode, the “EQ” and ”Auto” LED will turn off to indicate the manual EQ mode.

(7) Connecting Monitors: 4/8 HDMI monitors can be connected to the

“RJ-45 HDMI OUT” ports by adapting a HDMI-HR Receiver.

(8) Additional System Expansion: The “RJ-45 HDMI OUT” port can also

be used as link out port for more system expansions.

4. Selection and Preparation of Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable:

(1) Selection: Most makes and versions of current Cat5/5e/6 cables will

work with the DVI-E102T Transmitter and DVI-E102TR Transceivers. However since the quality and characteristics of Cat5/5e/6 cable varies it has been found that some perform better than others, even if

they cost lower. The major factor inuencing the transmitting distance

is the skew property of the cables. Skew represents the difference in propagation delay between the fastest and slowest set of wire pairs. A lower skew will mean a longer video transmitting distance.

(2) Skew Property: A Cat5/5e/6 cable with a skew lower than 15ns/100m

should enable a cascading length of <80m. at 480p resolution, <70m. at 720p/1080i resolution and <30m. at 1080p resolution. Some cable types may not have a known skew so it is best to test for maximum practical distances before starting the installation.

(3) For some installations where the potential for interference exists the

FTP type of Cat5/5e/6 cable is recommended.

(4) The RJ-45 terminations to the Cat5/5e/6 cable must be made to the

EIA 568B specications.

(5) Connecting the Cat5/5e/6 FTP cable: Plug one end of the cable

to the Transmitter’s “LINK IN/OUT” port and the other end to the Transceiver’s RJ-45 “LINK IN/OUT” port. The monitor connected to the Transceiver should now display and the “LINK” or “ACTIVE” LED should turn green to indicate the HDMI signal activation. Adjust the “EQ” control for best quality HDMI display.
