USER MANUAL 38155 Lindy

No. 38155 lindy.com Tested to Comply with FCC Standards For Home and Office Use!User Manual English Introduction Thank you for purchasing the HDMI Cat.6 Splitter Extender. This product has been designed to provide trouble free, reliable operation. It benefits from both a LINDY 2 year warranty and free lifetime technical support. To ensure correct use, please read this manual carefully and retain it for future reference. The HDMI Cat.6 Splitter Extender is a simple to use plug and play solution which lets you extend an HDMI AV signal up to 50m* to 4 displays with each using a single low-cost Cat.6 UUTP cable (not included). For added convenience IR signals (20-60 kHz) can also be extended using the supplied IR Receiver and Emitter cables. Supporting resolutions up to Full HD 1080p, including 1080p 3D, the Extender is designed for use in AV and digital signage applications in a variety of settings such as home, education, business, retail and healthcare. The Splitter Extender features an HDMI loop-through output on the Transmitter with simultaneous viewing so that a local display can be connected for monitoring or to create an additional viewing zone. For larger installations, the HDMI loop-through port can also be used to cascade up to 3 Transmitters together, allowing up to 12 displays to be connected to a single source. To ensure the maximum compatibility the Splitter Extender features a built in EDID emulation system which provides 9 EDID presets as well as the ability to clone the EDID of a connected display via the HDMI loop-through port. Power over Cat.6 (PoC) functionality enables the Extender to operate from a single power supply connected to the Transmitter, allowing the Receivers to be located where there is limited access to mains power sockets making it ideal for retro fit installations. In addition to PoC functionality the Extenders slim design and integrated mounting brackets make it easier to install in limited spaces behind modern flat screen displays. *Please Note: The quoted lengths and resolutions are possible with a direct connection between Transmitter and Receiver using good quality Cat.6 solid core cable. Using a different cable type, or introducing wall plates, couplers or patch panels will result in a reduction of possible distances. Package Contents

Installation Important! If you want to lay cables inside a cable duct or through a wall, please test your Cat.6 cables in a test installation at the highest desired resolution/colour space/colour depth combination with the extender BEFORE you install them in your wall or cable duct! The following steps are for an installation using HDMI equipment, if you are using DVI equipment, please substitute the HDMI cables for DVI to HDMI cables where required.

1. Connect your HDMI source to the Transmitter unit using a HDMI cable (maximum length 3m).

2. Connect one end of the Cat.6 cable (max. length 50m) to the CAT OUT 1-4 ports on the Transmitter

and the other end to a CAT port on each of the Receivers. We strongly recommend the use of solid core Cat.6 installation cable.

3. Set the EQ on each of the Receivers to the setting which matches the Cat.6 cable length (see table

below), either the Primary or Secondary may be used depending on picture and cable quality (Black squares denote the location of the dip switch).

4. Use another HDMI cable (maximum length 3m) to connect an HDMI display device to the HDMI

output port on each Receiver unit.

5. An additional HDMI display can be connected to the HDMI Out port of the Transmitter if required for

local monitoring or cascading to an additional Transmitter.

6. Set the EDID Switch according to your requirement, see the EDID table in the operation section of

7. For additional Infrared remote signal functionality, connect the included IR Extension Cables to the

Transmitter and Receiver units, using the IR Emitter with the IR Out port on the Transmitter and the IR Receiver with the IR In port of the Receivers.

8. Place the IR Emitter in front of the IR Port of the equipment you want to control, and ensure you

place the IR Receivers in a location where they may easily receive the signal of your IR remote.

9. Power on your HDMI Source and Display to complete the installation.

10. Finally plug the DC power supply into the Transmitter unit and set the Power Switch to On, the

Power LED will illuminate on all units.

In total there are 9 presets using different resolution, scan and audio values for you to choose from, alternatively you may use the EDID of the display connected to the HDMI Out port of the Transmitter unit. Each time a change is made to the EDID setting the Transmitter must be power cycled, in some cases it may also be necessary to power cycle the source device too.

Troubleshooting There is no display on the screen.

• Check that the DC plug and jack used by external power supply is firmly connected and that the Power LED on both the Transmitter and Receivers are illuminated.

• Check that the Cat.6 cables are seated correctly and that the Lock LED on is illuminated on all Receivers.

• Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the Transmitter unit, followed by the display(s) and finally the source.

• For some HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and replug their HDMI connection to re-initiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.

• Check that the EQ setting matches the Cat.6 cable length being used. If the primary EQ setting does not work, please try the secondary setting for the length of Cat.6 cable being used.
