NTI XTENDEX 300 Foot HDMI and IR Extender

INTRODUCTION

The XTENDEX Series ST-C6HD-300 CAT6 HDMI and IR Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable the vide o and audio output
from one digital video/audio source to be viewed and heard by a remote user. Each video extender consists of a local unit that
connects to an HDMI source and optional IR emitter, and a remote unit that connects to an HDMI display and optional IR receiver
as much as 300 feet away via Category 5e,6, 6a or 7 twisted-pair cable.

The XTENDEX Series Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.
Through the use of CAT5e/6/6a/7 (CATx) cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system . Here
are some of the features and ways this can benefit any workplace:

• Allows the placement of an HDMI-enabled monitor in a location where only these parts are needed without having the
video/audio source there too, taking up valuable space

• Allows digital video/audio to be viewed and heard by a remote user (up to 300 feet away)

• Provides crisp and clear computer resolution to 1920 x 1200 and HDTV resolutions to 1080p (see page 8 for more

details)

• Transmits HDMI signal over one CATx cable.

• Only one power supply is necessary (Power supply can be connected to either the local or remote unit.)

• Supports an HDMI or DVI monitor. (DVI requires optional adapter cable- see page 2)

• Supports 480p, 720i/p a nd 1080i/p video formats

OPTIONS:

Available with optional full Infrared Remote (IR) extension-full IR control of HDMI source from remote HDTV extension
(add “IR” to the model number ST-C6HD-IR-300)

Available with optional stereo audio extension (add “A” to the model numb er- ST -C6HD-A-300)

Rackmount Modules

The XTENDEX Series CAT6 Local Extenders can be ordered as rackmount modules- add “M” to the model number (i.e. ST­C6HD-LA-L-300M). When ordering rackmount modules, also order the ST-C6RCK-24 Rackmount Extender Module Tray (see
page 8). The XTENDEX® Rackmount Extender Module Tray allows you to mount up to 12 extender modules in a space-saving
2RU shelf. The local extender modules and remote extenders are interconnected via one CAT7 cable. Rackmount Modules
include support for locally mounted video devices (“local access”) and IR extension as standard features.

Only one power supply is necessary per local rackmount module to power both the local module and remote unit(s).
Optional CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) support for local display-add a “C” to the model number

(i.e. ST-C6HD-CLA-L-300M) CEC support for remote display is standard.
Optional dual HDMI support- includes two local units in one case- add a “2” to the model number

(i.e. ST-C6HD-LA-2L-300M)
