How to Connect the HDMI CAT-5 IR Extender
1. Connect a HDMI cable (supplied) between the HDMI source device’s output
and the HDMI CAT-5 IR Extender sending unit’s input.
2. Optionally, connect the mini-plug from the included IR transmitter (blaster)
to the HDMI CAT-5 IR Extender sending unit. Remove the adhesive on the
IR blaster located on the opposite end of the cable. Place the IR blaster on
or near the IR receiver of the device that is intended for control by the IR
remote control at the receiver’s location.
3. Connect the sending and receiving units together using a pair of CAT-5,
CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables. Use one cable to link the VIDEO ports together and
the other cable to link the DDC ports together.
NOTE:
When fi eld terminating cabling please adhere to the TIA/EIA-568-B
specifi cations (page 12). Please ensure that the cables are not crossed; i.e.
VIDEO to the DDC ports or DDC to the VIDEO ports.
4. Connect a HDMI cable (user supplied) between the HDMI capable device’s
input (i.e. display) and the HDMI CAT-5 IR Extender receiving unit’s output.
5. Connect both of the included 5V DC power supplies between the HDMI CAT-
5 IR Extender sending and receiving units and open wall power sockets.
6. Initialize (power on) the output device (i.e. display) fi rst and the source
device second.
IR Relay Feature
If the IR transmitter (blaster) is connected to a device, step 2 above, it will be
possible to relay IR commands from the receiver to the connected device at
the sender’s location. Simply point the connected device’s IR remote at the IR
receiver on the HDMI CAT-5 IR Extender receiving unit and it will relay all button
presses back to the sender and out though the IR transmitter (blaster). Ultimately,
this will allow the user to control a single device from the extended location.
