INTRODUCTION
The
CV-57KG
HDMI extender over single cat.X
boosts up your video/audio transmission distance
up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV 1080i format, 40m (130ft) in HDTV 1080p format, and 20m (65ft) in HDTV
1080p with 36-bit color depth. CV-57KG also supports the most advanced 3D video format complaint with
HDMI specification and therefore guarantees the highest 3D video compatibility on the market. With only
one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 cable, users can readily extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray
Disc player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources compliant with TMDS to distant display monitors
including HDMI/DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. This flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD
players or PS3 transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a greater distance at the minimal cost,
when integrating several components apart.
The CV-57KG includes two units: transmitting unit CV-57KG-TX and receiving unit CV-57KG-RX.
The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI/DVI signals and carry the signals via one cost
effective Cat.5/5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal.
The transmission distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 60m (200ft) at HD 720p
or 1080i; or 40m (130ft) at Full HD 1080p. With an 8-level equalization rotary control on the receiving unit,
users can adjust the equalization strength to the received HDMI signals accordingly, and therefore
optimize the transmission distance between source and destination.

The claimed transmission distance here is subject to the grade of installed cable(s), source device and
display.
For over CAT5/COAX transmission, the cable(s) has to be solid, not stranded. Any keystone jack along
the transmission path will kill the transmission performance significantly!
