Glossary of terms

EDID comes from your display and is bundled in with HDMI picture and audio data. EDID tells

Extended Display Identication Data

(EDID)

the HDMI source what resolution the display can handle and what audio format it can play. EDID
is not normally an issue when connecting a source directly to display. However, in distributed
XTND environments, the XTND device can receive different EDID messages from the displays it

is connected to. To x EDID see page 12.

IR RX & IR TX

Tipping Point Compression (TPC)

XTND transmitter

XTND receiver

Infrared (IR) Receiver (RX) and Transmitter (TX). The RX ‘receives’ a signal from another remote
control and the TX ‘transmits’ it. (See page 14)

HDA makes transmission of 18Gbps content possible using TPC. Visually lossless, TPC only
becomes active if the source output threshold is breached, hence the term tipping point.

Part of the XTND pair. The XTND transmitter takes a HDMI signal and converts it into a format
which can be carried over Cat cable. The transmitter is installed at the source end of the setup.

Part of the XTND pair. The XTND receiver takes the signal made by the XTND transmitter and
converts it back to HDMI so that it can be connected to a display.

Connecting over USB

This XTND can be controlled directly from a PC or control system by sending ASCII commands via the USB port. Connect a USB cable
to the “Service” port on the side of the XTND and open a serial command tool on your computer.

IR (Infrared) control

XTND can send IR signals from the receiver to the transmitter to
control almost any AV device. Using this feature will allow you to use
a remote control at the display end of the XTND setup and pass that
IR command from your display location back to the HDMI source
device that is connected to the XTND transmitter.

Sending IR commands from a display ‘back’ to the XTND transmitter

1. Connect an IR TX to port labelled “IR (OUT)” on the XTND
transmitter.

2. Place the IR TX bud (small tear drop part) in front of the IR
window of the device that you wish to control.

3. Connect an IR RX to port labelled “IR (IN)” on the XTND
receiver.

4. Place IR RX in line-of-sight of the remote control.

Testing that IR works

This section aims to verify that your XTND’s IR control system is setup correctly and assumes that all other setup has been followed as per
the instructions laid out in this manual. Please refer to the XTND wiring diagrams in this document to ensure that your setup matches that

before proceeding with the verication below.

Testing operation from a display ‘back’ to the XTND transmitter

Start this test by ensuring that your XTND system is powered on and your source device (connected to your XTND transmitter) is being
correctly displayed on screen. Check that your IR cabling is correctly connected to your XTND system (page 12) and that your remote control
has a clear line-of-sight to the IR RX. Point your remote at the IR RX and test a remote control command for your source device. You should
notice that it responds as if the source device was directly in front of you. If it worked then you have setup IR control correctly.

15

Cabling

Currently you can use Cat6, Cat6e, Cat6a, Cat7 or Cat7a with XTND. Cat5e may work, but is not recommended, due to its limited bandwidth
capabilities.

Optimum performance

Whichever network cable type you choose, ensure that the main wiring architecture is ‘solid core’ and not stranded ‘patch’ cabling. Patch
cabling can be used for the last few metres of a run (e.g wallplate) but should be avoided over longer runs as signal transfer over stranded

cores is signicantly impacted. The use of pre-made leads is not recommended unless you can be absolutely sure of their construction

credentials (i.e. solid core 568B). For optimum performance, use a single piece of Cat cable terminated directly at the transmitter and the
receiver ends. Make sure to use the correct connector types (i.e. RJ45 solid core) crimp connectors.

Shielded cables

Shielded FTP cable is not a stipulation. However, if you are using this type of cable ensure compatible shielded accessories are used. Failure
to terminate cable screen at all points can induce interference rather than eliminate it.

Patch panels and wall plates

If patch panels are terminated correctly then there is a minimal loss of distance. The use of wallplates and patch panels has the potential
to cause increased resistance on the cable introducing pinch points for signal transmission and could reduce transmission lengths. TIP:
Instead of using RJ45 wallplates use brush plates.

HDMI cabling

HDANYWHERE recommends using suitably robust and good quality
HDMI cables. It is not advised to use passive HDMI cables over 5
metres in length either on the inputs or the outputs of the XTND
system. Where HDMI cables longer than 5 metres are required, HDA
recommends utilising its own brand of long distance HDMI cables or
a suitable alternative.

Example wiring diagram

We have detailed a setup to show how the main feature-set of this
XTND system could be used and demonstrated together.

In this diagram, an Apple TV is being extended to a display up to
40m away. The HDMI (Out) on the XTND transmitter is being used to
provide picture to an additional display local to the Apple TV. Audio
from the Apple TV is being extracted and fed to a nearby AVR that

is providing audio amplication in the location of Output A. The

Apple TV is controlled by sending commands from its native remote
control through the XTND system and reproduced at the XTND
transmitter location providing distance remote control of the device.

Note:

This XTND system has been designed so that it can be installed in
multiple ways. The purpose of the diagram is to illustrate a typical/
example setup and assumes that you are already familiar with
the basics of wiring and infrastructure. If you are unsure how you
might install this device in to your property then contact support@
hdanywhere.com or contact a HDA Pro (https://hdanywhere.com/
dealers-and-installers/) for further assistance.

Power up sequence

1 Ensure that all devices are turned off.

2 Connect HDMI source to “HDMI (IN)” port on the XTND transmitter.

3 Connect the XTND transmitter and receiver together by using Cat 6/7 cable connected to the each end of the “Video TPC” port.

4 Connect a display to the “HDMI (OUT)” port on the XTND receiver.

5 If any devices require IR control, ensure that IR is connected at this stage as well (page 14).

6 Plug in the supplied power lead and switch on the XTND. XTND power indicator LEDs should be lit and solid.

7 Turn on the source device followed by the display(s).

8 Ensure that your display is set to the correct AV input.

9 A picture should now be displayed.
