2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The HDMI Receivers (AC561A-50, AC561A-150, and AC561A-250) work with the HDMI Transmitter (AC560A). The HDMI over CAT5 transmitter can extend an HDMI signal through CAT5 cables for a distance of up to 50, 150, or 250 meters, depending on the receiver you choose. Installing the system is quick and easy: Simply place the receiver unit next to your display and the transmitter next to your HDTV source (such as a DVD player). Connect the required cables, as described in Chapter 3.
