INTRODUCTION
The HDMI over IP Extender with LED extends HDMI signal over
just one 100 Ohm Cat.5e/Cat.6 cable -- up to 100 meters away.
The extender supports Full HD 1080p resolution. DVI-D Computer video
can also be transmitted with a DVI-to-HDMI cable or adaptor (Note: Audio
is not included in a DVI-D signal). Maximum screen resolution and
system performance is entirely dependent on the bandwidth and
features made available to the HDMI over IP Extender devices on the
local Gigabit network.
By using standard and widely available 100 Ohm Cat.6 cable, the
HDMI over IP Extender with LED makes HDMI signal networking
easier than larger, more expensive HDMI copper cable and more
robust than optical fiber cable.

HOW IT CONNECTS
Point to Point
The HDMI over IP Extender with LED system consists of a
Transmitter and a Receiver (sold separately). The HDMI source
(set-top box, DVD/BluRay player, gaming console, etc.) connects to
the Transmitter unit. The Receiver unit connects to the HDTV display
in the same way. One 100 Ohm Cat5e/Cat.6 cable (up to 100 meters
long) links the Transmitter and Receiver. Power is applied to the
Transmitter and Receiver with 5V DC power supply (included). High
Definition picture and Sound are then transmitted into the HDTV
screen. HDMI Source Device can also be controlled remotely using
the built-in IR repeater in the System at the Receiver side.
Point to Multi-Point
The HDMI source connects to Transmitter unit via a high quality HDMI
cable. 100 Ohm Cat.5e/Cat.6 cables (each up to 100 meters in length)
link the Transmitter and Receivers via a Gigabit Full Duplex network
switch. The Receiver units connect to each of the HDTV displays via a
high quality HDMI cable. Power is applied to the Transmitters and
Receivers with 5V DC power supply (included). High Definition picture
and Sound are then transmitted into the HDTV screens, provided each
receiver unit which is set to the required source channel (remote
control supplied). HDMI Source Devices can also be controlled
remotely using the built in IR repeater in the HDMI over IP Extender
V2.0 with LED System at Receiver side.
Multi-Point to Multi-Point
The HDMI source devices connect to each Transmitter unit (64 Max)
via a high quality HDMI cable. 100Ohm Cat.6 cables (each up to 100
meters in length) link the Transmitters and Receivers via a Gigabit Full
Duplex network switch that must support IGMP functionality. The
Receiver units connect to each of the HDTV displays via a high quality
HDMI cable. Power is applied to the Transmitters and Receivers with
5V DC power supply (included). High Definition picture and Sound are
then transmitted into the HDTV screens, provided each receiver unit is
set to the required source channel (remote control supplied). HDMI
Source Devices can also be controlled remotely using the built in IR
repeater in the HDMI over IP Extender with LED System at Receiver
side.
Note：ST-IPHD-IR-LC is HDCP 2.0 compliant.

TRANSMITTER UNIT PANEL DESCRIPTION
1. Power LED
This LED indicator will activate once the included 5V DC power
adapter has been properly connected between the Transmitter unit
and a power socket.
Note: the LED will blink during the initial power up time during which it
is loading the device firmware.
2. Link LED
This LED indicator will flash once Cat.6 cable has been properly
connected between the Transmitter and Receiver unit. Once both
devices are connected and powered up this LED will stop flashing
and stay on to indicate successful connection between Transmitter
and Receiver.
3. DIP Switch
It is possible (when network bandwidth allows) to have up to 64
transmitters and corresponding source devices running at once. The
DIP switch is designed to differentiate each transmitter unit and its
source device. System installers can change the combination of DIP
switch. If user differs DIP switch setting after system is set up, user
will need to reset the transmitter in order to let system identify new
source definition.
4. Power Input Port
Connect 5V DC power supply to this input port.
5. RJ45 Port
Connect a 100Ohm Cat.6 cable between this output port and the
RJ45 input port on Receiver unit or Gigabit network switch.
Note: for best performance we encourage the use of Stranded CAT6
shielded cable STP (750Mhz), as a minimum though please ensure
CAT6 UTP (550Mhz) cable is used or poor performance may result.
6. HDMI Input Port
Connect one HDMI cable between this port and HDMI output port of
the source device (DVD, Set-top box, blue-ray DVD)
7. HDMI Output Port
Connect on HDMI cable between this port and HDMI input port of the
display device can enable user to monitor the display from 100m
Page 8
away. The output from this port will be the same with the outpour from
receiver side.
8. RS232 Extender Port
Connect a serial communications port to this 3.5 mm connector for
bidirectional RS-232 communication.
Port Setup Parameters:
Baud Rate : 2400.
Data: 8bit.
Parity: none.
Stop:1bit.
Flow Control: none.
9. Reset
Occasionally like many network devices (routers, modems etc) it may
be necessary to reset the Transmitter. This can be done by using a
small tool (eg: toothpick) to gently press and hold the reset switch for
approximately 3 seconds. Upon releasing the switch the unit will
reboot and restore its factory settings. DIP switch settings will remain
as previously set and normal function should resume shortly.
Alternatively removing the Power Supply from the Power Input Port
for approximately 5 minutes will achieve the same result.
