LIMITATIONS
• The use of CAT5e or of any stranded cabling will reduce the maximum distance and resolution.
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 provided by
the cables. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables required.
•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 magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the video signal
(i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, fluorescent lighting, etc.).
•All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause stress on their connections to the equipment. Extended
lengths of cable hanging from a connection 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 to the instruction manuals for that equipment for proper
disconnection and reconnection procedures before proceeding.
•Be very careful not to obstruct the air vents on the Remote Unit in its installed location.
12V model is powered
at the Local Unit only.

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 putting strain on the cables.
2. Connect a HD-xx-MM (or DVI-HD-xx-MM cable depending upon what connector your display will acc ept) to 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 Audio 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.

NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot HDMI and IR Extender
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. Con nect a RCA-3-MM (supplied) between an audio out port on the audio source and the “SPDIF Audio In” connector on the
Local Unit (model ST-C6HD-DA-HDBT only).
Figure 3- Connect the XTENDEX Local Unit to the source
Connect the CATx Cables
Connect the CATx cable between the “CATx”
ports on the Local and Remote Unit. (See
Figure 4) When properly inserted the cable
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.

SPDIF and Stereo Audio Feature
Models ST-C6HDA(E)-HDBT include extra ports to support the connection of a separate audio source if desired. Either a SPDIF
digital audio source OR a stereo audio source can be connected (not both
the Remote Unit through digital speakers and/or self-powered stereo are connected to it.
) to the Local Unit. The audio source will be heard at

Plug-in and Boot Up
1. Plug the power cord from the monitor into the power outlet.
2.
Connect an AC adapter power connector to the 24VDC port on either the Remote Unit or the Local Unit. Plug the AC
adapter into a power outlet. The green LED on the RJ45 connector of both the Remote and Local Units should illuminate,
indicating that a proper power connection has been made to them. (See Figure 7)
3. Turn ON the video source and monitor. The yellow LED on both the Local and Remote Units should illuminate. The video
source and monitor should each react as if directly connected to each other.
NOTE: The ST-C6HD-HDBT-12VNPS is powered by a 12VDC 2A power supply (sold separately) and at the Local Unit
only. The Remote Unit is powered by the Local Unit through the CATx cable.
The AC adapter can be
connected to either
Local Unit OR the
Remote Unit to make the
XTENDEX function

INFRARED CONTROL
The XTENDEX includes ports for connecting 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 to the “IR
OUT” port on the Local unit. Position the end of the receiver such that the signal from the remote control can easily reach the IR
sensor. Position the end of the emitter such that the extended signal can be sent to the signal source.
Note: The IR Emitter and Receiver work within a frequency range of 30-50kHz. Check the
specifications for the device you are extending to make sure the XTENDEX will work with it.

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 Local or Wide Area Network (LAN/WAN)
connection. The Local or Remote unit can be used to connect a modem, Blu-Ray player, router or switch or a network device
(PC, printer, hub etc) If the network 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 monitors as shown in the
figure above.
• Connect the DB9F to RJ45 adapter (supplied) to the CPU and a CATx patch cable between the adapter and the “RS232”
port on the Local Unit.
• Connect the DB9M to RJ45 adapter (supplied) to the monitor and a CATx patch cable 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.
