Please keep this manual for future reference.

This product is 100% inspected and tested in the United States to verify HDMI performance parameters.

WARNING

1. Do not expose this unit to water, moisture, or excessive humidity.

2. Do not install or place this unit in a built-in cabinet, or other confined space without adequate ventilation.

3. To prevent risk of electrical shock or fire hazard, due to overheating, do not obstruct unit’s ventilation openings.

4. Do not install near any source of heat, including other units that may produce heat.

5. Do not place unit near flames.

6. Only clean unit with a dry cloth.

7. Unplug unit during lightening storms, or when not used for an extended period of time. A surge protector is strongly recommended.

8. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at the plugs.

CAUTION

HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the signal and the same video resolution and audio settings on all electronic equipment in the system. When there are multiple sources and displays, the video resolution and audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted to correspond with that of the display having the lowest video and audio capability.

FEATURES

Super IR Control

These active extenders units have the capability of transporting IR signals over the UTP cables. These extenders can control the source from the display. This is accomplished by using an optional IR Receiver pigtail

(Part # 280721) attached to the receiver pointing away from the display and the IR Transmitter pigtail (Part #

280720) attached to the sender and pointed at the source.

*** These products are only compatible with Vanco’s Super HDMI IR Accessories.

Over-Current Over-Voltage Protection

The circuit boards are equipped with both over-current and over-voltage protection and automatically power down if these are encountered. The power circuit will restore itself automatically once the excessive current or voltage conditions are rectified.

Product Manual

CONNECT AND OPERATE

Connect the signal source such as Blu-Ray Player, Play Station 3, audio/video receiver, cable or satellite receivers and computers equipped with HDMI output interfaces with a short high-speed HDMI cable to the

HDMI Transmitter input. HDMI cable length should not exceed 16 ft.

Connect the HDMI Transmitter output RJ-45 ports using dual-runs of Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP cables to included

Receiver, which does not require a power supply. It is strongly recommended that factory terminated cable assemblies be used and their length shall not exceed 100 ft of Cat 5e and 110 ft of Cat 6 for the 30 m extenders and 164 ft and 180 ft respectively for the 50 m extenders..

Connect the HDMI output from the Receiver to high-definition display devices such as HD-LCD, HD-DLP and HD projectors with HDMI input interfaces. Use high-speed HDMI cables that are recommended for the distances that are required for each connection. HDMI cable length should not exceed 16 ft.

The Receivers are powered by an external power supply which is included. Connect power first to the source, then to the Receiver and then to each HD TV or projector.

The source can be controlled from the display. This is accomplished by using an optional IR Receiver pigtail pointing away from the display, which can be connected to the receiver portion of the extender. The IR

Transmitter pigtail is then connected to the sender of the extender and pointed at the source.

While playing HD audio and video content, turn on the HD TV set and use the “Information” button on the remote to check for a 1080p/60 or 24 Hz resolution. If you have difficulty getting a picture, go to the TV’s

“set-up menu” and adjust the resolution. A 24 Hz vertical refresh rate may work better than a 60 Hz vertical refresh rate, since a longer time period is provided for the HDMI signal to be authenticated every couple of seconds.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions differ, the splitters will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HD TV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HD TV sets.

2. If you do not get audio and video see if you can use the “set-up” menu on the TV to adjust the audio settings and the video settings. If the HDMI control circuit can’t establish a hand-shake, then there usually will be no audio or video and a blue or black screen with a statement like “this protocol not supported” or

“weak signal”.

3. If you get the above messages, re-set the Receiver by disconnecting the power supply. Alternately, you can disconnect all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 10 or 15 minutes for any voltages to decay and then connect all of the cables from the source, to the Receiver and to the display.

4. If you still have trouble, then try the “hot-plug concept. Turn-on the source and plug the HDMI cable to it and then power-up the Transmitter and plug the cable into it, then plug the output cable into the Receiver and finally turn-on the display and plug the HDMII cable from the Receiver into it. This activates all of the devices in order and results into a signal being plugged-in to a device that is on and will try to connect to the signal.

5. Most of the major player and display manufacturers employ a proprietary control channel to communicate between devices from the same manufacturer. Sometimes this can interfere with the HDMI control circuit or the authentication of the signal. Call the manufacturer if you experience this problem. Sometimes a player, an audio/video receiver, or a cable/satellite box may not have the latest software update and needs to have this downloaded from the manufacturer’s web site.

6. If the above actions do not result in a satisfactory result, focus attention on the Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables used. The HDMI signals run at digital data rates, which are at least ten times faster than for conventional

Ethernet. If 8-position modular plugs are attached in the field, the connection may not be able to support the HDMI signal. This is why factory terminated assemblies are strongly recommended. To determine if the field-assembled cables are at fault, move the source close to the display and connect with a 3 ft or 6 ft computer cable assembly.

7. If you have problems with the IR control circuit, make sure that the IR RX pigtail is plugged into extender receiver and pointed at the display and the IR TX pigtail is attached to the extender sender and pointed at the source.
