Extending HDMI using UTP to 40m (131ft)
with IR source control
Attention
We strongly recommend using the supplied
mounting brackets to secure both the transmitter and
receiver baluns. Sudden movement of these devices can
lead to unnecessary service call outs and loss of picture/
sound due to stress on connections.
HDMI: Connect the HDMI source (i.e. HD-DVD,
PS3, Cable/Sat box, Blu-ray etc.) to the HDMI IN of the
TRANSMITTER and connect the HDMI DISPLAY (i.e. LCD/
plasma TV, digital projector etc.) to the HDMI OUT of the
RECEIVER.
Use good quality HDMI cable, ensuring connectors are inserted
firmly in ports and avoid excessive bending of cable.
Attention
Do Not Hotswap! - Please insert and
extract cables carefully with the power SWITCHED OFF.
Connecting and disconnecting while the unit is powered
can result in damage to circuitry.
One-way IR: Position the small, round IR TX emitter
directly over the infrared receiving area of the SOURCE and
secure with the adhesive backing. You may need to adjust
the location of the emitter later to achieve best results -
repositioning to different areas on the source facia can
sometimes improve IR performance. Insert the IR TX 3.5mm
jack into the IR TX port on the TRANSMITTER.
Tip:
You can locate the small, round infrared sensor by shining
a flashlight onto the display panel of your source.
Insert the IR RX 3.5mm jack into the IR RX port on the
RECEIVER. Discretely attach the larger, rectangular emitter to
the DISPLAY with the adhesive backing, ensuring a clear line of
sight to the remote control being used. Again, repositioning IR
RX may be required to achieve best results.
Cat5e/6 Transmission: Connect the TRANSMITTER and
RECEIVER with a single, good quality, well terminated and
tested Cat5e/6 cable with RJ45 connectors wired to 568B
standard at both ends up to a distance of 40m (131ft). (See
diagram)
The quality of each RJ45 termination is essential - poor
termination leads to intermittent performance and longer install
times.
Attention
Check connectors are pushed securely into
each port and supported by the connector strain relief
clip to prevent them from becoming loose.
Power: Add the 5V power supplies provided to both
TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER. We do not recommend
passing power remotely over long cable distances as this can
affect product performance.
You can also power TRANSMITER and RECEIVER units
using WyreStorm USB to 5V adaptors connected to DISPLAYS
or SOURCES with spare USB ports. This not only solves space
and power availability problems at locations,
it also offers improved energy efficiency as
extenders are only powered when devices
are turned on.
Finally, power on TRANMITTER,
RECEIVER and all connected devices and
your extender set is ready for use.
Attention
Check LED POWER and STATUS are lit
to confirm the units are powered and a signal link is
established between the units. If not, check connections,
devices and power supplies or follow the trouble
shooting overleaf.

Extending HDMI using Cat5e to 40m (131ft)
with IR source control
Connection and Operation
1
Place the
IR TX EMITTER
sensor directly over the infrared receiving
areas of the input source (i.e. Blu-ray, cable/sat box). You may have
to adjust the location of this later to achieve the best performance
results. Sometimes moving the sensor to different places on the
source can improve IR performance.
2
Connect the
IR TX
emitter 3.5mm jack into the
IR TX
port on the
side
TRANSMITTER
balun.
3
Place the
IR RX receiver
sensor on the front of the display. You
may have to adjust the location of this later to achieve the best
performance and ensuring there is clear line of sight between this
sensor and any remote control you are using.
4
Connect the
IR RX RECEIVER
3.5mm jack into the
IR RX
port on
the side of the
RECEIVER
balun.
!
We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets
to secure both the TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER baluns. Any
sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of
picture and sound if connections become loose or strained,
resulting in unnecessary service call backs.
5
Connect the
TRANSMITTER
and
RECEIVER
baluns with a single,
good quality, well terminated and tested *Cat5e/6 cable with RJ45
connectors wired to the 568B standard at both ends.
!
The quality of each RJ45 termination is essential. Poor termination
leads to intermittent performance and longer install times.
6
Ensure all connectors are inserted correctly, pushed securely into
each port and supported by the connector strain relief clip to prevent
them from becoming loose.
7
Finally, add the 5V power supplies provided to both
TRANSMITTER
and
RECEIVER
.
!
You can power transmitter and receiver units by using the
WyreStorm USB 5V adaptors (CAB-USB-5V) connected to
displays or sources with spare USB ports. This is
not only more energy efficient as the extenders
are only powered when the devices are turned on,
it also solves power availability problems,
especially at the display end.

PLEASE NOTE
– All cable distances are on the basis of a direct runs of
cable (no patch panels or wall outlets). Please use good quality, solid conductor,
Cat5e cable. Stranded pre-made patch leads will reduce effectiveness of this
product. Please ensure Cat5e cables are installed to local electrical regulations.
Close lying electrical cables can effect product performance.
