(SENDER ONLY) is the perfect solution for those who want to display a single source on 4 or more displays using a Single Twisted Pair Cat5 or Cat6 Cable. AT-HD-V14SS is capable of HDTV resolutions up to: 1080p@110ft and

1080i@200ft.

Note:

A receiver unit (Balun) is required for each display and sold separately (Model: AT-HDRS or AT-HD15SRS).

FEATURES:

• HDMI TM over Single Cat5/6 (High Resolution Audio and Video)

• HDMI TM 1.3c and HDCP compliant

• 1080p@110ft (35m) and 1080i@200ft (60m)

• Supports 5.1 and 7.1 Digital Audio

• Silicon Image Chip-Sets allow 99.99% compatibility with all the AV gear (we only use Best)

• Built-In HDMI

TM

Repeater to avoid any signal loss if long input cable is used

• One Local HDMI

TM

output for monitoring or cascading to another AT-HD14SS, AT-HD-V14SS, AT-HD50SS, AT-

HD19SS

• Built-in EDID manager for fast common setting among displays.

• Supports default HDMI TM EDID and records the EDID of selected display

• Extends up to 60m (200ft) (1080i) of output single CAT5 or Cat6 cable

• Extends up to 35m (110ft) (1080p) of output single CAT5 or Cat6 cable

• Wall-Mountable

• Easy installation

The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and longer transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance.

INSTALLATION:

1. Turn off all devices, including the displays.

2. Connect the HDMI TM source to the HDMI TM INPUT on the AT-HD-V14SS.

3. Connect to each Receiver Unit (AT-HDRS or AT-HD15SRS) with a CAT5/6 cable via RJ45 ports.

4. Connect a HDMI TM displays to each HDMI TM OUTPUT on each Receiver Unit with a HDMI TM cable.

5. Plug in the 5V DC power supply units to the locking power jacks on the Receiver Units and the AT-HD-V14SS.

6. Connect one HDMI TM display or cascading device to the HDMI TM OUTPUT port with a HDMI TM cable.

7. Turn on all devices.

8. If you see fl ickering or blinking image on the display, adjust the rotary control switch on the Receiver Unit (AT-HDRS) to improve the cable skew. 0 stands for the strongest HDMI

TM

signal level for longest possible transmission length while 7 stands for the weakest HDMI

TM

signal level for short transmission length. Try adjusting the signal level from

7 to 0 to fi nd the optimal setting for the HDMI

TM

over CAT5 transmission.

EDID LEARNING:

1. To learn EDID from desired HDMI

TM

display, connect the display to the HDMI

TM

output port that needs to provide the EDID information for the AT-HD-V14SS to learn from.

2. Dial the DIP switch from Default EDID to EDID LEARNING and stay at the Learn EDID position.

3. The SIGNAL (green LED) will blink for a few seconds then stop to indicate the EDID learning is complete.

4. Do not dial the DIP switch back to Default EDID as doing so will reset the EDID profi le.

5. To learn the EDID from another device, please repeat step 1 to 3.

NOTICE:

1. When adjusting the signal level on the receiver unit, please dial the rotary control switch on the Receiver Unit (AT-

HDRS) from 0 to 7 and stop turning the rotary switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally. Inappropriate signal level setting may cause overpowering issue that would shorten the product life signifi cantly!

2. If the DVI or HDMI TM device requires the EDID information, please use AT-DVISync or AT-HDSync EDID Reader/

Writer to retrieve and provide DVI or HDMI

TM

display EDID information.

3. All HDMI

TM

over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP cable and

ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.

4. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMI

TM

sources, and the type of HDMI

TM

display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 1,000ft bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of fi xed length patch cords). Shielded

STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP Cat-5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long extension applications, solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.

5. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended.

6. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can use double shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.

7. Because the quality of the category cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit can achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one's choice of Cat-5/5e/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6 cable is recommended.

8. If your HDMI TM display has multiple HDMI TM inputs, it is found that the fi rst HDMI TM input [HDMI TM input 1] generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI TM inputs.
