LIMITATIONS
• The use of CAT5e or of any stranded cabling will re duce the maximum distance and resolut ion.
WARNING: If the CATx IN or CATx OUT ports of a powered Remote or Local extender are connected to the RS232 port of
another Remote or Local unit, the CATx port will be damaged and render the XTENDEX unusable and void the warranty.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
•Locations should be chosen for the monitor that also has space to connect the Remote unit within the distance provid ed by
the cables. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables requir ed.
•The CATx cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local units will be connected. Be careful to route the
cables away from any sources of m agnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the video signal
(i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, fluoresc ent lighting, etc.).
•All cables should be installed in such a way t hat they do not cause stress on their connec tions to the equipment. Extended
lengths of cable hanging from a connect ion may interfere with the quality of that connection. Secure cables as needed to
minimize this.
•Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the video source and monitor to be separated. If other equipment is
involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer t o the instruction manuals for that equipment for proper
disconnection and reconnection pr ocedures before proceeding.
•Be very careful not to obstruct the air vents on the Remote Unit in its installed locati on.

INSTALLATION
Installing The Remote Unit
1. Position the Remote Unit such that the CATx cable, the monitor cable(s), and audio cables (if applicable) can each
reach the Remote Unit without put ting strain on the cables.
2. Connect a HD-xx-MM (or DVI-HD-xx-MM cable depending upon what connector your display will accept) t o the
female HDMI video connector labeled " HDMI Out" on the Remote Unit.
3. Connect the RCA cable (optional) between the audio device and the “SPDIF A udi o Out” on the Remote Unit.
Note: The audio signal will be present at the “SPDIF Audio Out” connector if an audio source is connected to the “SPDIF
Audio In” connector on the Local Unit.
Note: Be very careful that the installed location does not obstruct the air vents in Remote Unit case.

Installing The Local Unit
1. Connect an HD-3-MM (supplied) or DVI-HD-xx-MM cable (page 3) between the video source and the " HDMI In" connector on
the Local Unit.
2. Connect a RCA-3-MM (supplied) between an aud i o out port on the audio source and the “ SPDIF Audio In” connector on the
Local Unit (model ST-C6HD-DA-HDBT only).

ends should snap into place.
Note: The ST-C64K-300 can be connected
with a maximum 300 foot cable (CAT6a/ 7
STP).
WARNING: Never connect the
XTENDEX to an Ethernet card, Ethernet
router, hub or switch or other Ethernet
RJ45 connector of an Ethernet device.
Damage to devices connected to the
Ethernet may result.
Figure 4- Connect CATx cable
WARNING: The CATx connection cab le used between NTI XTENDEX Series Local and Remote or any XTENDEX Series
products must be wired straight through (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.) The use of a CROSSOVER CABLE will
damage the extender and void your warranty.

The XTENDEX includes ports for connec ting an infrared emitter and receiver (included) to work in conjunction with the IR remote
control used to operate the signal source. Connect the receiver to the “IR IN” port on the Remote Unit and the emitter t o the “IR
OUT” port on the Local unit. Position t he end of the receiver such that the signal fr om the remote control can easily reach the IR
sensor. Position the end of the emitter such that the extended signal can be sent t o the signal source.

100BASET + RS232 SUPPORT
If you have purchased the STC6HDE-HDBT, then your unit includes additional support for 100BaseT and RS232 extension.
With the 100BaseT support option, the “Ethernet Port” can be used to extend a Loc al or Wide Area Network (LAN/WAN)
connection. The Local or Remote unit c an be used to connect a modem, Blu-Ray player, router or switch or a network device
(PC, printer, hub etc) If the net work device is connected at the Local Unit , then the LAN/WAN connection must be at the Remote
Unit, and visa versa.
Figure 9- Connections for Ethernet and RS232 Support
Additionally, RS232 extension provides support for serial device communication, like touchscreen m oni tors as shown in the
figure above.
• Connect the DB9F to RJ45 adapter (su pplied) to the CPU and a CATx patch cable b etween the adapter and the “RS232”
port on the Local Unit.
• Connect the DB9M to RJ45 adapter (supplied) to the monitor and a CATx patch c able between the adapter and the
“RS232” port on the Remote Unit.
WARNING: If the CATx IN or CATx OUT ports of a powered Remote or Local extender are connected to the RS232 port of
another Remote or Local unit, the CATx port will be damaged and render the XTENDEX unusable and void the warranty.
