INTRODUCTION
The Evolution by Vanco EVEXHDB2 HDBaseT 4K@60Hz, 4:4:4 Chroma, HDR Extender with Bi-directional IR, and Power
over HDBaseT (PoH) extends 4K/60Hz, 4:4:4 with HDR along with audio, Ethernet, and RS232 at a distance of up to
230ft/70m over a single Cat5e/6 cable. Also able to pass 1080p/60Hz up to 330ft/100m. Power over HDBaseT (PoH)
Technology transmits power over Cat5e/6, allowing either the Transmitter or Receiver to be powered without the use of
a power supply. No EDID or EQ adjustments are necessary as the units automatically adjust for compatibility and gain.
The EVEXHDB2 also has the ability to expand networking setup, by extending Ethernet along with HDMI signals over the
single Cat5e/6 cable, allowing for two RJ45 jacks on the transmitting and receiving ends to hardwire any network capable
components. In addition, RS-232 and bi-directional IR pass-through allows for source and/or display control. For extending
full 4K resolution with up to 60Hz, 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, and HDR, the EVEXHDB2 is a great plug and play solution
for connecting the latest components!
The EVEXHDB2 includes two units: transmitting unit (EVEXHDB2-TX) and receiving unit (EVEXHDB2-RX). The transmitting
unit is used to capture the HDMI input with IR signals and carries the signals via one cost effective Cat5e/6 cable. The
receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR signals. The EVEXHDB2
offers the most convenient solution for 4K extension over a single Cat5e/6 with Power over Cable, and is the perfect
solution for any application.

to the HDMI input on the Transmitting unit.
2. Connect a display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI output on the Receiving unit.
3. Connect a single Category 5e/6/7 (up to 330ft/100m for 1080p or 230ft/70m for 4K) to the UTP output
of the Transmitting unit, and the other end to the UTP input of the Receiving unit.
4. OPTIONAL: When using the bi-directional IR control, connect the IR emitter at either end to the IR OUT
port on either the transmitter or the receiver. When using a powered IR receiver, connect via a 3.5 mm
stereo plug to the IR IN on either the receiver or the transmitter.
5. OPTIONAL: When using bidirectional RS232 control, use the provided 3-conductor screw down terminals
in the proper conguration of the devices being connected. If you are unsure of the TX, RX, and Ground pin
conguration, please contact the manufacturer for additional information.
6. OPTIONAL: When connecting to a network, computer, or third party control system, connect a wellterminated Cat5e/6/7 to the Ethernet ports on the transmitter and receiver for sending Ethernet,
internet, or control signals
7. For power, plug in either the Transmitting unit or Receiving unit with the included power supply, opposite
unit will not have to be plugged in as it features Power over Ethernet (PoH).
8. Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver and transmitter will already be powered when either
unit is plugged in).
At this point the display connected should display the source signal connected to the extender set. If no signal
is being displayed, connect a shorter Cat5e/6 cable (jumper or patch cable). If a display is having difculty
receiving a signal, access the display’s menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is
displayed). Use the source remote at the receiver emitter to test IR functionality. If the IR remote function is
not responding, check the emitters to ensure they are placed correctly and are plugged into the correct IR
jacks on the Extender set receiving and transmitting units.

IR PASS-THROUGH
The bi-directional IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the extender unit, from
the display; or the display from the source, not simultaneously. There are two important things to note when
setting up the IR system:
1. The IR Receiver (IR RX) is always what you point your remote at to send an IR signal. This pigtail is
placed at the display for controlling the source; or at the source for controlling the display.
2. The IR Transmitter (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to what you are intending to control, whether it’s
the source or the display. This pigtail is placed at the source; either pointed at the source, or placed on
the front panel of the source (see below for placement tips) or placed at the display to control the display
from the source.
To control the source: Plug IR Transmitter into IR OUT port of transmitter unit (EVEXHDB2-TX); place
transmitter in front of the IR eye of the source.
To control the display: Plug IR Transmitter into IR OUT port of receiver unit (EVEXHDB2-RX); place
transmitter in front of the IR eye of the display.
Note: Placement of the IR Transmitter is important and can result in the IR system not working if improperly
placed.
• First, locate the IR eye or window on the source
• If placing the IR Transmitter right on the front panel of the source, stick right on top of the IR eye or IR
window.
IR Transmitter (TX)
IR RECEIVER (RX)
IR RECEIVER IR TRANSMITTER
To control the source: Plug IR Receiver into IR IN port of receiver unit (EVEXHDB2-RX); place receiver at or
near display.
To control the display: Plug IR Receiver into IR IN port of transmitter unit (EVEXHDB2-TX); place receiver in
position where it is able to receive remote signals
RS-232 Mode Switcher
The RS232 switch allows for RS232 pass-through at default, however can also be used for rmware updates
for the extender unit. Any available rmware versions will be provided on the EVEXHDB2 product page on
www.vanco1.com. Instructions on how to update rmware will be provided on rmware version release
documents.

To Control the Display:
1. Plug the IR Receiver into the
IR IN Port on the Transmitter
2. Plug the IR Transmitter into
the IR OUT Port on the Receiver
To Control the Source:
1. Plug the IR Transmitter into the IR
OUT Port on the Transmitter
2. Plug the IR Receiver into the IR IN
Port on the Receiver
NOTICE
1. Vanco HDMI and Cat5e/6 cables are strongly recommended for use with this product to ensure best
results.
2. Incorrect placement of IR Transmitter and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR extenders. Please
check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat5e/6 cables utilized, the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of
300m [1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the
form of xed length patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables.
A solid UTP Cat5e/6 cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long
extension applications, use solid UTP/STP category cables.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat5e/6 cables, one can use
shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which worsens in long cable transmission.
6. The quality of Cat5e/6 cables can have a major effect on how long the transmission limit can achieve and
quality of picture, the actual transmission range is subject to the Cat5e/6 cable utilized. For the best
results, Cat6 is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the rst HDMI input [HDMI input #1]
generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions
differ, the extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HDTV with the lowest
resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HDTV sets.
2. If you do not get audio and video, access the “setup” menu on the TV to adjust the audio and video
settings. If the HDMI control circuit cannot establish a handshake, then there usually will be no audio or
video in addition to a blue or black screen with a statement similar to “this protocol not supported” or
“weak signal”.
3. If the above mentioned messages display, reset the receiver by disconnecting the power supply. You can
also disconnect all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 15 minutes for any voltages to decay and then
reconnect all of the cables.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the “hot-plug” concept. With all of the HDMI cables
disconnected, turn on the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it’s output, then power up the Vanco
unit and plug the HDMI cable into it’s input, nally turn on the display and plug the HDMI cable from
the receiver into it. This activates all of the devices in corresponding order and results in a signal being
plugged into a device that is on and will attempt to connect the signal.
5. Most of the major source and display manufacturers employ a proprietary control channel to communicate
between devices from the same manufacturer (CEC). Sometimes this can interfere with the HDMI control
circuit or the authentication of the signal. Call the manufacturer if you experience this issue. Sometimes
a player, an audio/video receiver, or a cable/satellite box may not have the latest software update, usually
this can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
6. If you have problems with the IR control circuit, make sure that the IR RX pigtail is plugged into extender
receiver and pointed at the display, and the IR TX pigtail is attached to the extender sender and pointed at
the source.
