INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX Series ST-C6HDMI-300 CAT6 HDMI and IR Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable the video 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 to power both the Local and Remote units.
• Supports an HDMI or DVI monitor. (DVI requires optional adapter cable- see page 2)
• Supports 480i/p, 576i/p, 720i/p, and 1080i/p, video formats
• HDMI 1.3, HDCP 1.2 compliant
Supports:
• x.v.Color
• Dolby Digital and DTS
• Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
• bandwidth to 225 MHz (6.75 Gbps)
• 12-bit Deep Color
• Lip Sync
• Supports the DDC2B protocol.
• Supports digital audio format, such as LPCM/Dolby Digital (AC-3)/(Plus)/DSD
• Support for CEC (consumer electronic control) compatible devices.
Available with optional Infrared Remote (IR) extension (ST-C6HDMI-IR-300)
• Full IR control of HDMI source from remote HDTV extension.

LIMITATIONS
• The use of CAT5e or shielded CAT6/6a cabling will reduce the maximum distance and resolution.
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.

INSTALLATION
Installing The Remote Unit
1. Position the Remote Unit such that the CATx cable and the monitor cables can each reach the Remote Unit without
putting strain on the cables.
2. Connect a HDMI-xx-MM (or DVI-HDMI-xx-MM cable depending upon what connector your display will accept) to the
female HDMI video connector labeled "HDMI Out" on the Remote Unit.

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 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 Fig. 3)
3. Turn ON the video/audio source and video display device.
The yellow LED on both the Local and Remote Units
should illuminate. The source and display device should
each react as if directly connected to each other.

INFRARED CONTROL
Model ST-C6HDMI-IR-300 includes ports for connecting an infrared emitter and receiver (included) to work in conjunction with the
IR remote control used to operate the video/audio 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 video/audio source.
