The HDSpider™ HDMI over Single Cat.5 Distribution Series provides the most
flexible solution by which the uncompressed, unmodified, and pure digital HDMI
signals with 7.1-channel audio can be transmitted to different locations over a
long distance. The cascadability of HDSpider™ series is virtually unlimited,
allowing you to extend HDMI/DVI displays almost anywhere.
The whole HDSpider™ series products can be easily inter-connected to suit almost every
application through Cat.5/5e/6 cables. By taking the advantage of Cat.5/5e/6 cables,
installation work becomes so easy and particularly cost effective wherever the distribution of
HDMI signals is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does equalizer
(EQ) work?
What is the minimum
requirement of Cat-X
cable
What kind of Cat-X
cable is
recommended?
I want extension
above specification, is
that possible?
Equalizer is a built in electronic device used to fine
tune picture quality. Please turn knob anticlockwise
from 7 to 0 to get the optimal vision. If you find the
display is not showing properly, please check your
cable connection or it is out transmission limit.
Minimum cable requirement is Category 5 cable for
HDSpider™ series products. Please ensure all cables
are terminated with RJ-45 plug according to
EIA/TIA568B definition.
We recommend using Category 6 or 7 STP cable for
best picture quality at maximum extension. For better
result please use cable with minimum delay skew.
Yes. To extend HDMI signal above specification
published please use high quality HDMI cable (24
gauges) and recommended Cat-X cable. On field
test, it is possible using CAT.6 cable for 50m
transmission under 1080p. If further extension is
required, please set HDMI source at 480p resolution.
I am using HVE-9900 to
receive HDMI signal,
but there is no image
on monitor.
There is no image on
display, what could
be the problem?
It is still not working.
HVE-9900 is only intended to use for shorter
transmission length. The maximum transmission length
is at 15m under 1080p or 25m under 720p/1080i
resolution. If your application exceeds this transmission
limit, please use HDSpider™ HDMI Cat.5 Receiver
(Long) (HVE-9000) instead.
First please check all cable is properly installed.
Secondly check display source is functioning correctly.
If problem persist, please try the EDID learning function
on HVE-9001 and HVE-9002 (stated on p.4-5).
