READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE HDMI CAT-5 IR EXTENDER
•
The maximum cable extension is 300 feet (91 meters) for video resolutions
of 1080i and below.
•
The maximum cable extension is 150 feet (45 meters) for video resolutions
of 1080p.
•
If EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is present anywhere near the CAT-5,
CAT-5e or CAT-6 video cables it may be necessary to use shielded cables.
This is to prevent possible interference from degrading the video signal.
Using shielded cable, however, will reduce the maximum distance that the
cables can be extended.
•
Extensions under 130 feet (40 meters) can use Auto Equalization (Auto EQ)
which is on by default. Extensions over 130 feet (40 meters) will require you
to manually equalize your signal (see page 9).
•
IR repeater functionality is only from the receiving unit to the sending unit. IR
data cannot be transmitted from the sending unit to the receiving unit.
•
Each cable run must be one continuous run from one end to the other. No
splices or use of punch down blocks.
•
High quality Shielded CAT-6 cabling should be used for maximum
performance.
•
Do not use stranded or low/no skew cabling. Solid core cabling should be
used for maximum performance.
•
HDMI 1.2 Compliant and HDMI 1.3 Compatible
