IR INTEGRATION WITH A CONTROL SYSTEM
The IR Receiver connection on the Transmitter is designed to operate with Episode
®
IR products. When connecting the Transmitter to an IR Remote Control System or
Home Automation system to control the display from the control system, it is neces-
sary to convert the connection from a stereo 3.5mm (1/8”) cable to a mono 3.5mm
(1/8”) cable and eliminate 12VDC. Included in the box is an IR Adapter Cable to make
this connection very simple. First, connect the male end of the IR Adapter Cable to
the IR Receiver jack on the Transmitter. Next, connect a mono
3.5mm (1/8”) cable from the female end of the
IR Adapter Cable to the control system.
Test the connections.
INSTALLATION
1. Learn the EDID from the Display to the Transmitter (see EDID Learning section)
or select the appropriate mode (see transmitter section).
2. Connect a HDMI source (such as a Blu-ray Disc player) to the transmitting unit.
3. Connect a HDMI display (such as a LCD TV) to the receiving unit.
4. Connect IR Flashers/Receivers to both transmitting and receiving units. Use a
1 meter or shorter HDMI cable.
5. Connect a Cat5e/6 cable between the units, ensuring the cable is tightly
connected and not loose.
WARNING- Do not make terminations to the CAT5e/6
while connected to the extender.
6. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the power jack of both the transmitting and
receiving unit.
7. If you see flickering or blinking images on the display, adjust the distance control
switch to improve the cable skew. Use “0” for the longest possible transmission
length, and “7” for a short transmission length. Adjust the signal level from “7” to “0”
and stop turning the rotary switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally.
Overpowering signal levels can significantly shorten the life of the product.
Do NOT over-power the EQ signal strength when adjusting the EQ. Start from “7”
and turn dial slowly to “6” and on. Once the audio/video is working properly, do
not continue to turn the EQ dial.
