1.0 INTRODUCTION

Thanks for purchasing the 1T-CT-610 Series HDMI Extender product from TV One. The individual components of this series of HDMI to CAT.6 Extenders consist of the 1T-CT-

611 Transmitter, the 1T-CT-612 Receiver and the 1T-CT-613 Repeater which constitutes a system used to transmit deep color (12 bits) V1.3 HDMI or DVI-D signals at resolutions up to 1920x1200 and 1080p, plus transmission of embedded lossless audio, over Cat.5e or Cat.6 cables. The 1T-CT-611-612 can achieve signal distribution distances of up to 45 meters (150 feet) for 1080p/8 bit signals and 15 meters (50 feet) for 1080p/12 bit signals. This distance can be extended a like amount with the use of the 1T-CT-613 Repeater. For normal operation, two Cat.6 cables are required, one for the main signal and one for the HDCP/DDC signal. The transmit and receive products also feature the unique TV One-task locking power connectors to enhance overall system mechanical security.

Our professional video conversion products have been serving the industry for over twenty years. TV One offers a full line of high quality Seamless Switchers, Video

Scalers, Up/Down/Cross Converters, Analog-Digital Converters (SD/HD-SDI, HDMI,

3.0 CHECKING PACKAGE CONTENTS

Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the following items are contained in the shipping carton:

• 1x Repeater, Transmitter or Receiver unit

• 1x Power Adapter (Except 1T-CT-613)

• 1x Operations Manual

Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return the unit. If you find any items are missing, contact your reseller or TV One immediately.

Have the Model and Serial Number and Invoice available for reference when you call.

4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE

Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the signal input, outputs, power requirements/inputs plus any controls present. Note: The resolution capability of the remotely located display devices must be capable of displaying the output of the source device. Before connecting the CAT.6 extender system, verify that the display device on the receiving end can support the output resolution and signal format by connecting it directly to the source device.

4.1 Cat.5e/6 Cable Notes

Pins and pairing. Make sure the CAT5e/6 cable pin assignments are standard. The correct pairing is straight through, pin-to-pin, with pairing as follows.

Twist density. UTP cable pairs have different twist densities (twist pitches). There are two pairs with high density twist and two pairs with low density. Colors vary by manufacturer. Twist densities can be seen by stripping off about 10 cm (4’) of insulation and visually inspecting. Pairs 1-2 and 7-8 should be assigned to high density twists.

Failure to assign correct twist densities can result in image jitter.

The ABCD picture shows typical UTP cable, with pairs A and C showing a high pitch twist (assigned to pin pairs 1-2 & 78), and B and D with low pitch twist (assigned to pin pairs 3-6 & 4-5).

Connect the HDMI source device’s output to the HDMI IN connector of the 1T-CT-611

Transmitter, using an appropriate HDMI cable of no more than 15 meters (45’) in length.

1. Connect a Cat.5e or Cat.6 cable to the Video output connector of the Transmitter.

Connect a second Cat.5e or Cat.6 cable to the DDC output of the Transmitter. Mark the cables at both ends so that you do not inadvertently swap them. Defer connecting the AC adapter until the Cat.5/Cat.6 cables are connected to both the

Transmitter and the Receiver.

6

1. At the remote location, connect the appropriate Cat.5e or Cat.6 cables to the

Video input and DDC Input connectors of the Receiver. Do not interchange the cables. The Video cable must be connected to the video inputs and outputs in both the Transmitter and the Receiver products and the DDC cable must likewise be connected to the DDC inputs and outputs on the devices.*

2. Connect the HDMI connector of the Receiver to the HDMI input of the remote display or other device, using an appropriate cable no more than 15 meters (45’) in length.

3. Connect the supplied AC adapters first to the Transmitter and Receiver and then to the AC sockets.

4. Lastly, turn on the source device and remote display. The source signal should now appear on the remotely located display. If not, consult the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

* Note that when a 1T-CT-613 Repeater is being used in the Cat.5e/Cat.6 cable path, you must also make certain to connect the Video and DDC cables properly. Marking all cables at both ends so that they cannot be improperly connected is strongly recommended to avoid unnecessary problems later on when the cables are hidden within the walls.

The 1T-CT-613 Repeater is used to extend the signal distribution range provided when using an HDMI to Cat.6 Transmitter and receiver system alone. The instructions that follow assume you have already installed the appropriate Cat.5e or Cat.6 cables in the desired areas of your building.

1. Repeater Video and DDC inputs are usually connected to the Cat.5e/Cat.6 cables at the far end of a cable run (the end normally connected to the receiver inputs). In

7

essence, if the allowed signal distribution distance is insufficient to meet the requirements, a repeater is inserted into the signal path. The cables coming from the transmitter are plugged into the repeater inputs thereby allowing insertion of another section of cabling into the path. At the far end of the desired distribution system, the 1T-

CT-612 Receiver is then connected to the Video and DDC cables connected to the 1T-

CT-613’s outputs. A 1T-CT-613 Repeater increases the total range by 45 meters (150

Feet) for 1080p/8 bit HDMI signals or 15 meters (50 feet) for 1080p/12 bit HDMI signals.

2. Connect a Cat.5E or Cat.6 cable to the Video input connector of the Repeater.

Connect a second Cat.5E or Cat.6 cable to the DDC input of the Repeater. Connect a third Cat.5E or Cat.6 cable to the Video output connector of the Repeater and lastly connect a fourth Cat.5E or Cat.6 cable to the DDC output of the Repeater. Mark all cables at both ends so that you do not inadvertently swap them. The 1T-CT-613 does not require external power.

Note: There are no user controls provided on the 1T-CT-613 Repeater. It’s important that you should verify that the HDMI source functions properly with the HDMI display device before you attempt to use any of the extender system components. Failure to do this would introduce an unwanted variable that would then have to be resolved should the system not function as expected.

5.0 OPERATING THE UNITS

Once the connections have been made and power applied, there are no operational adjustments required. It is recommended however that the power on sequence be as follows: HDMI to Cat.6 Transmitter and HDMI Cat.6 Repeater (if used), HDMI to Cat.6

Receiver, HDMI source and HDMI destination device – in that order.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

Other than faulty or swapped Cat.5e/Cat.6 cables or attempting to use the product over too great a distance, there are seldom problems with these Video Extender products.

If there is no image present at the remote location, connect the display device directly to the source to make certain that the problem is not in the display. If an image is present under those circumstances, make certain the transmitter and receiver(s) are receiving power. Next make certain your Cat.5e/6 cable is defect free and the RJ-45 connectors are securely attached to the cable at both ends. After trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your dealer for additional suggestions before contacting TV One. Should the dealer’s technical personnel be unable to assist you, contact TV One via our support website: http://tvone.crmdesk.com. Create a technical support request on the site and our support team will respond within a short period of time.
