1. Introduction
The Tributaries HXC6 HDMI Extender over CAT6 is a fully digital product. Many similar type units are actually analog; they convert the digital HDMI signal to analog in the transmitter unit, send it to the receiver unit via CAT5E cable where it is converted back to a digital signal. Not only is this an expensive design but it also sacrifices performance by the repeated digital-to-analog and analog-todigital conversions.
Consisting of 2 units, a transmitter and a receiver, the Tributaries HXC6 can extend an HDMI signal over CAT6 cables for a distance of up to 45 meters.
The installation of the Tributaries HXC6 is easy and quick. Simply place the transmitter next to your HDTV source, such as a DVD player, and then place the receiver close to your display. Complete the installation using Tributaries HDMI
Cables and 2 runs of CAT6.

To double the maximum distance, add the Tributaries HXC6R Repeater
(Optional). This passive device can be inserted at the end of the appropriate length of CAT6 cable run from the Tributaries HXC6 Transmitter unit. A similar length of CAT6 can then be run to the Tributaries HXC6 Receiver unit. The
HXC6R supports all the features of the HXC6.
It is possible to substitute CAT5E cable for CAT6. However, the maximum resolution capability will be limited to 1080p/8bit color, HDMI v1.2.
All units are HDMI v1.3 certified supporting 12 bit Deep Color and new lossless compressed Digital audio; Dolby TrueHD®, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS®-HD
Master Audio with a bandwidth up to 225MHz.
