1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this HDMI extender from Audio Authority. This
transmitter/receiver unit is designed to extend HDMI version 1. signals to
remote locations over four coaxial cables, with a short range option (150 ft)
to power the receiver from the transmitter unit via an optional fifth cable. It is
capable of high-bandwidth formats including 1080p, 6 bit Deep Color, and
lossless audio. The coaxial connections accept secure, BNC type jacks.
Audio Authority offers an extensive line of audio and video switchers, converters,
distribution amps and extenders available for purchase online at www.
audioauthority.com or through authorized dealers.

2.0 GETTING THE BEST RESULTS
Many factors influence the quality and reliability of HDMI signal transmission. The
following are the main factors to consider, and basic precautions that will ensure
the best possible performance.
• Source resolution and video/sound quality.
Sources, such as satellite
receivers or cable boxes may output at low resolutions or deliver extremely
compressed video material, yielding poor results. Consider the sources when
planning and troubleshooting your system.
• Output display devices.
The quality of the output signal depends largely upon
the type and quality of the HDMI display devices used.
• HDMI cable length.
Use of high resolutions, refresh rate, or Deep Color
increases the bandwidth requirements of the HDMI cables and the coax
extender system, and as a result, limits maximum cable run length. For 8 bit
signals the source and video display may be connected to the HCX-11 via
