The AT-HD4-V40SRS extends HDMI up to 130 ft (40m) at full 1080p over CAT5e and up to 200 ft (60m) at 1080i/720p over CAT6.

Does it support 3D?

Yes, it supports all 7 3D formats including Frame Packing, Side-by-Side, and Top-to-Bottom.

What audio formats are supported?

It supports surround sound up to 7.1ch including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.

What is EDID learning and how to use it?

EDID learning lets the transmitter copy the display's EDID to avoid compatibility issues. Set the MODE switch to 7, connect the display to the TX HDMI IN, then power on. After the LED blinks, set MODE to 0 or 1 for desired audio.

How to adjust signal equalization?

Use the 8-step EQ rotary switch on the receiver module. Turn from MIN to MAX until audio/video plays normally. MAX is for longest distances.

Can I use this with control systems like Control4?

Yes, the bi-directional IR pass-through allows IR control from a control system (e.g., Control4, RTI) to remote locations.

What type of CAT cable should I use?

Use solid UTP/STP cables for best performance. CAT6 is recommended for resolutions above 1080i. Termination must be T568B.

How to connect IR extenders?

Plug the IR blaster into the IR BLASTER socket and the IR receiver into the IR RECEIVER socket on both modules. Incorrect placement may cause failure.

What to do if there is no signal?

Check CAT5/6 termination (use T568B), bypass patch panels, adjust EQ gain, try different EDID mode (0 or 1), or set source resolution to manual 720p/1080i/1080p.

INTRODUCTION:

The Atlona AT-HD4-V40SRS is an HDMI with Bi-Directional IR Extension Kit. The extenders are designed to handle full 1080p up to 130ft and 1080i/720p up to 200ft. The HD4-V40SRS are capable of supporting very high bandwidth and there are able to handle all 7 x 3D formats.

The Atlona HD4-V40SRS are based on the latest HDMI technology and therefore are capable of fully supporting HDCP 2.0, Deep Color and DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio. In addition, AT-HD4-V40SRS are also equipped with bi-directional IR pass-through, which allows users to control the sources from the remote location as well as sending IR signal from a control system to a remote location. Perfect for Control4, RTI, HAI or any other control system users or dealers.

The AT-HD4-V40SRS includes two modules: transmitting module and receiving module, where the transmitter module converts HDMI with IR to RJ45 and the receiver module converts it back to HDMI and IR. The receiver module is featured with 8-step equalization control, to allow users to adjust the equalization strength to the received HDMI signals accordingly, and therefore optimize the transmission distance between source and display.

NOTICE

1. When adjusting the signal level on the receiver module, please dial the rotary control switch from MIN to MAX 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 significantly!
2. Wrongly insert IR blaster and IR receiver to wrong 3.5mm infrared sockets may result in the failure of the IR extenders. Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets.
3. If the DVI or HDMI ^TM device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide DVI or HDMI ^TM display EDID information.
4. All HDMI ^™ over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.
5. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, 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 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.
6. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
7. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
8. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 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.
9. 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.

Possible Issues and Solutions:

1. No Audio/video Signal on the Display or Signal is going in and Out:

a. Please test your RJ45 cables with a Fluke or similar tester to make sure that all the wires are connected and the distance is within the limits.
b. If you are using patch panel or and RJ45 wall plates, the distance will be reduced, please do a direct connecting bypassing all additional equipment.
c. Please try to re-terminate your CAT5/6/7 wire to 568B
