HDMI or VGA input on the transmitting unit. You can also connect audio from the VGA source using a
3.5mm Stereo plug into the AUDIO IN port. NOTE: When both HDMI and VGA are connected and live, the
priority will go to the VGA
2. Connect a display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI or VGA output on the receiving unit.
NOTE: BOTH outputs are live and can transmit audio and video simultaneously like a splitter Refer to the
EDID diagram for manual EDID management under these conditions.
3. Connect a properly terminated Cat 5e/6/7 up to 164ft/50m to the UTP output of the transmitter and
receiver units.
4. OPTIONAL: Connect the provided IR TX and IR RX cables in the appropriate ports based on how the IR
path is being transmitted and received.
5. For power, plug in either the transmitting or receiving unit with the included power supply. (NOTE: the
opposite side does not need power)
6. Power on each connect device and test.
NOTE: This product can convert HDMI to VGA when HDCP is NOT needed by the source. For an example, a
computer or camera with an HDMI output going to a legacy VGA projector

IR
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 Blaster (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.
IR BLASTER (TX)
To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of transmitter unit; place blaster in front of the IR eye of
the source.
To control the display: Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of receiver unit; place blaster in front of the IR eye of
the display.
Note: Placement of the IR Blaster 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 blaster right on the front panel of the source, do not
stick right on top of the IR eye or IR window. The IR signal cannot
travel through the double-sided tape on the Blaster. Instead place the
blaster on either side, or on the top or bottom of the IR eye or window,
with the tip of the blaster facing the IR eye or window. See right for
illustration of where IR signal shoots from on IR Blaster:
EDID
The EVEXVGAHD is capable of both pass-through EDID as well as manual EDID to ensure compatibility and
communication among devices.
Before making ANY changes to the EDID dial, it is important to remove the power AND HDMI cables. Once
changes are made they can be reconnected and tested accordingly.

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 Blaster 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.
8. Products request normal CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables, which must meet standard-TIA/EIA-568B, refer
to below pin denition.

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. 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.
