HDMIC5IR

Point to Point HDMI & IR /CAT5 Balun Extender

INTRODUCTION

The HDMIC5IR extends your HDTV display up to 120 feet away from your HDTV source using two
CAT-5 cables. It is equipped with HDMI™ (high definition multimedia interface) connectors and is
capable of supporting DVI (digital visual interface) equipment when used with a HDMI to DVI Adapter,
providing greater flexibility and options when integrating several home theater components.

FEATURES

• Extends high definition displays up to 120 feet (35 meters) from the source at 1080i

• Extends high definition displays up to 70 feet (21 meters) from the source at 1080p

• Improved automatic compensation for cable skew and delay

• Eliminates equipment noise in the viewing environment

• Supports resolutions up to 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 720i, 480p, 480i

• Audio and video are transmitted digitally over the CAT-5e cable for zero signal loss

• IR send and receive over CAT-5e

• CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable acceptable

INSTALLATION NOTE(s)

• WARNING: To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and
regulations. If you are not sure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified
electrician.

• CAUTION: Do not install this product in an electrical junction box with 110V or higher unless
an approved barrier separates the high and low voltage sections.

• NOTE:

Please note the maximum CAT5e or CAT6 wire length for reliable operation of 1080p
is 70 feet or 21 meters. Do not attempt a longer length as it may not be reliable. For lower
resolutions such as 720p or 1080i the maximum length is 120 feet or 35 meters. CAT5 wires
should be as short as possible. Never run the CAT5 wires near or along side high voltage
wires. If high voltage lines are near by cross the CAT5 wires to them at 90 degree angles.
Never coil up CAT5 wires. This can increase the inductance of the CAT5 wire and give an
unreliable picture.

• NOTE:

Make sure a good quality RJ45 8-8 crimper is used to connect the RJ45 connector to
the cat 5 wire. Poor crimping and mismatched wires are the most frequent cause of installation
problems.

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 – PREWIRE CAT5 CABLE

Pre-wire using CAT5e or CAT6 wiring. The TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER are connected together
using CAT5e or CAT6 cable. Two cables must be run, and all 8-wires in each cable will be utilized.
Connection is made with the RJ45 connector. Always use standard CAT5 wiring practices. Using the
correct wire pairs and polarity is VERY important. Make sure the XA port on the TRANSMITTER is
connected to the XA port on the RECEIVER. Like wise the XB port on the TRANSMITTER is
connected to the XB port on the RECEIVER.

STEP 2 – SOURCE EQUIPMENT CONNECTION

Connect the TRANSMITTER box to a source component such as a HD Cable Box or HD DVD player.
Use an HDMI cable that is as short as possible between the HDMIC5IR TRANSMITTER and the
source component.

STEP 3 – DISPLAY CONNECTION

Connect the RECIEVER box to a display such as a projector, TV, or input to a component. Use an
HDMI cable that is as short as possible between the HDMIC5IR RECEIVER and the display.

After everything is connected, connect the power supply to either the TRANSMITTER or RECEIVER.

WARNING:

Do not connect a power supply to the TRANSMITTER and a power supply to the

RECEIVER module at the same time.
