INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX® HDMI Extender Over IP via Fiber Optic Cable transmits HDMI video, embedded audio, and IR signals up to 24.8
miles (40 kilometers) away from an HDMI source using a single LC singlemode fiber optic strand or 984 feet (300 meters) using
OM3 LC multimode fiber optic cable.
Each HDMI Extender Over IP consists of a local unit that connects to an HDMI source and provides a buffered HDMI input loopthrough, and a remote unit that connects to an HDMI display. The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-toPoint connection via Fiber Optic Cable or a Point-to-Many connection via a network switch. Support for multiple transmitters
requires a managed network switch.
Signal transmission via single-strand LC fiber optic cable.
o Using singlemode 9-micron cable, extend to 24.8 miles (40 km).
o Using 50-micron OM3 (or better)multimode cable, extend to 984 feet (300 meters).
Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p.
Cascade network switches to extend the length longer distances.
o Up to three switches can be cascaded.
HDMI features supported:
o HDMI 1.3
o 36-bit Deep Color
o RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, and YCbCr 4:2:2
o LPCM
o Bandwidth up to 4.46Gbps
HDCP 1.4 compliant.
Full Infrared Remote (IR) control of HDMI source from remote HDTV using existing source remote control.
For a point-to-many connection, a standalone network with an unmanaged SFP networ k switch, hub, or router can be
used instead of a managed SFP network switch.
o Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
Up to 253 receivers supported.
o It is not recommended to use any other network devices on this standalone network as it may cause
degradation in performance.
Support for multiple transmitters (many-to-many connection) requires a managed SFP switch with VLAN support.
Standard LAN switches can only support one transmitter.
o The managed SFP switch must support port-based IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
o Each VLAN acts as a separate HDMI Over IP Channel on the network.
Each VLAN channel supports one transmitter.
o Number of local and remote units that can be used is dependent on the backplane bandwidth of the swit ch.
Plug-and-Play installation allows receivers to find the transmitters automatically on the same subnet.
Local and remote units must be in the same LAN. The units do not support WAN connections.
Low RFI/EMI for sensitive applications.
Built-in default EDID table.
Cables can be installed in conduit prior to extender installation.
Integrated mounting brackets for easy surface/wall mounting.

CONNECTION
1. Connect an HD-xx-MM cable (xx = 3,6,10,15,20,30 and 50 feet- sold separately) between the Transmitter "HDMI IN"
port and the Video Source (Computer, Camera, DVD player, etc.) and another between the Receiver "HDMI OUT" port
and the HDMI- display device.
Optionally, connect a third HD-xx-MM cable between a local display and the "HDMI OUT" port on the Transmitter.
2. Plug the T1310/R1550 Transceiver into the "Fiber-TX" port on the ST-IPFOHD-L-LC-ULC Transmitter.
3. Plug the T1550/R1310 Transceiver into the "Fiber-RX" port on the ST-IPFOHD-R-LC-ULC Receiver.
4. Connect a simplex single-mode LC fiber optic cable up to 40km in length (or multimode (OM3) cable up to 300m in
length) between the Transmitter SFP transceiver and the Receiver SFP transceiver.
5. Plug the 5VDC power supplies into the "DC 5V" jacks on the Transmitter and Receiver and connect them to power.
If an SFP Optical Transceiver should ever need replacement, use a universal transceiver with a transmission rate of 1.25 Gbps.
Contact an NTI Sales Associate for assistance at 330-562-7070.

Transceiver Installation
The transceivers need to be fully inserted in order to function. Follow these steps for proper installation.
1. Identify which transceiver is being installed. The T1310/R1550 (blue) transceiver goes in the T r ansmitter. The T1550/R1310
(yellow) transceiver goes in the Receiver.

5. Rotate the latch back up to lock the Transceiver into position.
6. If not installing the fiber optic cable, return the dust cover to the Transceiver.
IR Control
To make use of a video source that can be operated with a remote control, connect the IR blaster and Receiver cables as
follows:
1. Connect the IR Receiver to the "IR IN" port on the ST-IPFOHD-R-LC-ULC Receiver. Locate the receiver such that
you can see it when using the remote control.
2. Connect the IR Blaster to the "IR OUT" port on the ST-IPFOHD-L-LC-ULC Transmitter. Locate the blaster as close to
the IR Input window as practical on the video source.

One to Many Connection
A Transmitter can be connected to a 1 Gigabit Fiber Optic SFP Switch for a connection to multiple Receivers. Each connected
Receiver will receive the same video signal from the Transmitter. The Transmitter and Receivers must be conn ected to the same
VLAN group in order for this to work. You can have only one Transmitter in a VLAN group.
To use an SFP switch, a T1550/R1310 Transceiver (sold separately) will nee d to be installed in the SFP Switch where the
Transmitter connects to it. A T1310/R1550 Transceiver (sold separately) will need to be installed in the SFP Switch where each
Receiver connects to it. For additional Transceivers, contact an NTI Sales Associate at 330-562-7070.
Each simplex single-mode LC fiber cable used to connect to the switch can be up to 40km in length.
Many-to Many Connection
Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch with VLAN support. Standard LAN switches can only support
one Transmitter.
The managed network switch must support port-based IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
Each VLAN acts as a separate HDMI Over IP Channel on the network. Each VLAN channel supports one Transmitter.
