Frequently Asked Questions - EVSP1013 EVOLUTION

What is the maximum resolution supported by the EVSP1013?

The EVSP1013 supports up to 1080p@60Hz (24-bit) over Cat5e/6. It also supports 3D signal formats.

Can I use a Cat6 cable instead of Cat5e?

Yes, Cat6 is recommended for better performance and longer transmission distances. The splitter works with Cat5e and Cat6 cables, but Cat6 provides improved signal integrity.

How far can I transmit the signal?

Up to 50 meters (164 feet) at 1080p60 using Cat5e/6 cable. Actual distance may vary depending on cable quality and source/display characteristics.

Does the EVRX2006 receiver require its own power supply?

No, the EVRX2006 (sold separately) receives power over the Cat5e/6 cable via POE from the EVSP1013 splitter, so no additional power supply is needed.

How do I set up the IR control?

Plug the IR Receiver (RX) into the unit at the display location (point remote at it) and the IR Blaster (TX) at the source to send control signals. Ensure correct placement for reliable operation.

What is EDID management and how do I use it?

The splitter offers manual and dynamic EDID modes. Use the rotary switch: settings 0-6 select fixed EDIDs (e.g., 1080p with audio), settings 7-9 enable dynamic blending of connected displays' EDIDs. Adjust with power and HDMI cables disconnected.

Why is there no video output?

Check cable connections and ensure cables are working. Verify that the display resolution is compatible. Try resetting by disconnecting power and HDMI cables for 15 minutes. If using manual EDID, select a compatible setting.

Can I cascade multiple splitters?

Yes, the additional HDMI loop-through output can be connected to another splitter for larger distribution systems.

What audio formats are supported?

The splitter supports 8-channel audio including Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

How do I update the firmware?

Connect the unit to a PC via the mini USB port. Install the CH340 driver, then use the provided GUI tool to select the COM port, load the .bin file, and start the update. A successful update will show a completion message.

Single HDMI Source

CONNECT AND OPERATE

1. With no power going to the splitter, connect the HDMI from your source to the HDMI input
2. Connect the Cat5e/6 cables to the RJ45 Output Ports of the splitter and the HDMI output using known working cables.
3. We recommend terminating the Cat5e/6 cable(s) using the 568B standard.
4. Apply the provided power supply to the 12V input port and wall.
5. Turn on and test

NOTE: IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY AUDIO/VIDEO ISSUES, PLEASE UTILIZE THE MANUAL EDID DIAL FOUND ON THE UNIT

The bi-directional IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the extender unit, from the display; or the display from the source, not simultaneously. There are two important things to note when setting up the IR system:

1. The IR Receiver (IR RX) is always what you point your remote at to send an IR signal. This pigtail is placed at the display for controlling the source; or at the source for controlling the display.
2. The IR Blaster (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to what you are intending to control, whether it's the source or the display. This pigtail is placed at the source; either pointed at the source, or placed on the front panel of the source, see below for placement tips. Or placed at the display to control the display from the source.

NOTICE

1. Vanco HDMI and Cat5e/6 cables are strongly recommended for use with this product to ensure best results.
2. Incorrect placement of IR Blaster and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR extenders. Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat5e/6 cables utilized, the type of HDMI sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m [1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of fixed length patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP Cat5e/6 cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long extension applications, use solid UTP/STP category cables.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat5e/6 cables, one can use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which worsens in long cable transmission.
6. The quality of Cat5e/6 cables can have a major effect on how long the transmission limit can achieve and quality of picture, the actual transmission range is subject to the Cat5e/6 cable utilized. For the best results, Cat6 is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the first HDMI input [HDMI input #1] generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.

Problems Causes Solutions
Color losing or no video signal output in HDMI display	The connecting cables may not be connected correctly or it may be broken.	Check whether the cables are connected correctly and in working condition.
	The display is not compatible with the present output resolution.	Make sure the resolution of the display(s) is compatible with the present resolution.
No HDMI signal output while local HDMI input is in normal working state	The connecting cables may not be connected correctly or it may be broken.	Check whether the cables are connected correctly and in working condition.
Splash screen in output devices	Poor quality of the connecting cable	Change for another cable of good quality.
Static becomes stronger when connecting the video connectors	Bad grounding Check the grounding and make sure it is connected well.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions differ, the extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HDTV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HDTV sets.
2. If you do not get audio and video, access the "setup" menu on the TV to adjust the audio and video settings. If the HDMI control circuit cannot establish a handshake, then there usually will be no audio or video in addition to a blue or black screen with a statement similar to "this protocol not supported" or "weak signal".
3. If the above mentioned messages display, reset the receiver by disconnecting the power supply. You can also disconnect all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 15 minutes for any voltages to decay and then reconnect all of the cables.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the "hot-plug concept. With all of the HDMI cables disconnected, turn on the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it's output, then power up the Vanco unit and plug the HDMI cable into it's input, finally turn on the display and plug the HDMI cable from the receiver into it. This activates all of the devices in corresponding order and results in a signal being plugged into a device that is on and will attempt to connect the signal.
5. Most of the major source 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 issue. Sometimes a player, an audio/video receiver, or a cable/satellite box may not have the latest software update, usually this can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
6. 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.
