500752

Quick Installation Guide

Overview

The HDMI over IP Extender Kit with PoE (500752) allows HDMI equipment to be connected up to
330 ft (100 m) @ 1080p via one (1) Cat 5e/6 unshielded twisted pair cable in a point-to-point
configuration. Point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint is possible by connecting several
encoders and decoders to the same Ethernet network. The Encoder (500752-TX) and Decoder
(500752-RX) also support PoE (PD) if used with a PoE Ethernet Switch. The kit comes with one
(1) Encoder and one (1) Decoder as well as an IR Emitter and IR Sensor for remote control
applications.

For the multipoint-to-multipoint configuration the gigabit Ethernet switch must support the IGMP
communications protocol.

Applications

Applications include commercial and residential AV systems, classroom projector systems, digital
signage, boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, and medical information systems.

Installation

1. Identify the connectors on the Encoder and Decoder as indicated on the product labels.

2.

Verify that the distance between the HDMI Encoder and Decoder is within MuxLab
specifications (see Specifications table).

3. To install the Encoder:

3a. Connect the Encoder to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant cable.

3b. Connect one (1) length of Cat 5e/6 (or higher) grade UTP cable to the RJ45 LINK

connector on the Encoder.

4. To install the Decoder:

4a. Connect the Decoder to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant cable.
4b. Connect one (1) Cat 5e/6 cable to the RJ45 LINK connector on the Encoder.

5. If the configuration is point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint:

5a. You will need to use a Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
5b. You will need to configure a unique IP and MAC Address to each of the Encoder and

Decoder. The default IP for the Encoder is 192.168.168.55 and the MAC address is
00:0B:78:00:60:01. The default IP for the Decoder is 192.168.168.56 and the MAC
address is 00:0B:78:00:60:02. To perform the configuration you will need to use a
browser to access the WEB Interface of each device.

5c. Connect all Encoders and Decoders to the Ethernet Switch. Use the DIP Switches to

select a unique Device ID of each Encoder present on the network and configure each
Decoder Device ID to the corresponding selected Encoder.

6. Powering the Encoder or Decoder via an external power supply is only necessary where PoE

(PSE) is unavailable. If PoE is unavailable, connect the 5 VDC power supply to the Decoder
first, and then plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. Connect the 5 VDC power
supply to the Encoder first, and then plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. If power
is present, the green power LED of the Encoder and the Decoder will be ON.

Note: Power on the HDMI over IP Extender only after all connections have been made.

7. Power on the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.

8. This product supports IR pass-thru control. If infrared remote control is needed to control the

Source equipment from the Display, connect the IR Sensor to the 3.5mm Stereo Jack of the
receiver and the IR Emitter to the 3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.

Note: You can differentiate the IR Sensor and the IR Emitter by looking at the 3.5 mm

plug. The IR Sensor is using a Stereo Plug (3 Contacts) and the IR Emitter a
mono plug (2 Contacts).

9. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed to the hand-held remote control. For a clear IR

signal reception, aim the hand-held remote control to the top of the IR Sensor enclosure.

10. Position the IR Emitter as close as possible to the source’s IR Sensor (i.e. DVD player). For a

clear IR signal reception, the IR Emitter can be glued on the source’s IR Sensor. The IR
Emitter’s signal is transmitted from the side of the enclosure.

11. The following diagram illustrates a typical point-to-point LAN configuration.
