CYAN HDMI EXTENDER

2. Introduction

2.1 Overview

The Cyan HDMI extenders extend HDMI or DVI signals over Category 5/5e/6
cable.

WARNING

This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribut ion

through an Ethernet network. Do not connect these devices to any sort

2.2 Equipment You May Also Need

• HDMI cables

• HDMI to DVI adapter cables

2.3 Compatible Cabling

Cyan HDMI extender products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data cabling.
CAT5/5e/6 cabling f or the Cyan HDMI extender must be pinned to the TIA-EIA

T568B wiring specification (see appendix A) We also highly recommend that all
CAT5/5e/6 cables be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an
existing infrastructure should be t ested before use to ensure complia nce with the
TIA-EIA T568B specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5/5e/6 cables can
damage the units.

of networking or telecommunications equipment!

CHAPTER 3: SETUP & INSTALLATION

3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Cabling Considerations

• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the Cyan HDMI
components before applying power.

• Make sure that the CAT5/5e/6 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply
with the T568B wiring specification (See Appendix A).

3.2 Making the Connections

3.2.1 CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL

This section contains figures showing connections with the specific Cyan HDMI
units. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at both transmitter
and receiver ends is as follows:

NOTE:

All units should be cabled and powered on prior to turning on the video source
device and display. It is recommended to cable/power on receiver unit, transmitter
unit, then the display, and l as tly th e vi deo so urce.

At the transmitter end:

1. Connect the source video to the Cyan transmitter HDM I INPUT port using an
HDMI type A cable (If using DVI video an HDMI to DVI adapter is required).

2. Connect the CAT5/5e/6 cables to the transmitter. PORT 1 is the video signal
and PORT 2 is the DDC data channel. If you do not need HDCP or DDC data,
a single CAT5/5e/6 cable can be used on PORT 1. Note that protected content
will not be displayed in this case.

3. Apply power to the transmitter. The LED’s on the RJ45 sockets will come

on (see Figure 3-3 for LED status modes)

At the recei ver end :

1. Connect the display to the HDMI OUTPUT connector of the receiver (If a

DVI connector is on the display, an HDMI to DVI adapter is required).

2. Connect the CAT5/5e/6 cables to the UTP connection. PORT 1 is the video
signal and PORT 2 is the DDC data channel. If you do not need HDCP or DDC
data, a single CAT5/5e/6 cable can be used on PORT 1. Note that protected
content will not be displayed in this case.

3. Apply power. The LED’s will come (see Figure 3-3 for LED status modes)

CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting

.

4. T roubleshooting

4.1 Common Problems

THERE ARE NO USER CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS FOR THE CYAN HDMI EXTENDERS

In most cases, nearly every issue with the Cyan HDMI Extenders can be resolved by
checking the CAT5/5e/6 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the T568B
wiring specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the system to
not perform as it’s designed. Below are solutions to the most common installation
errors.

Problem:
Solution: • Check that both units are powered.

• Power units in the sequence noted in section 3.2.1.

• Make sure the CAT5 cable is terminated correctly per the
T568B wiring specification.

• Screened Cat5/5e/6 cable (ScTP) may be required for noisy EMI
environments. Ensure the shield is properly connected at each
RJ45 end.

• Is the display device powered on and functioning?

• Some HDMI sources can take up to 5 minutes to initialize and will
not output video signals during this time.

• Cell phones may cause interference at close range (3 ft) and cause
the video signal to be interrupted or lost. All devices may need to be
power cycled if video is lost.
