Frequently Asked Questions - 38219 Lindy

How to connect the Lindy 38219 HDBaseT extender?

Connect your HDMI source to the transmitter via an HDMI cable. Connect the transmitter and receiver with a direct Cat.6/7 cable (max 100m). Connect the display to the receiver with another HDMI cable. Power the transmitter (or receiver) with the 24V power supply. Turn on the source and display.

What is the maximum transmission distance?

With a high-quality solid-core Cat.6 cable, the distance can reach 100m in 1080p and 70m in 4K 60Hz. Using lower quality cables or intermediate connectors reduces the range.

Can I use a single power supply for both units?

Yes, thanks to the PoC (Power over Cat.6) function, a single 24V power supply on the transmitter is sufficient to power the receiver via the Cat.6 cable. You can also power each unit separately.

How to set up infrared (IR) control?

Connect the IR receiver cable (sensor) to the IR IN port and the IR emitter cable to the IR OUT port. Place the sensor facing the remote control and the emitter facing the device to be controlled. The extender supports bidirectional IR control.

Can I transmit Ethernet signal through the extender?

Yes, the extender features a 10/100 Ethernet port on each unit. You can connect a router, switch, IP camera, or Smart TV. The Ethernet signal is transmitted over the same Cat.6 cable as the HDMI signal.

What to do if no image is displayed?

Verify that the Power LEDs are lit on both units. Ensure the Cat.6 cable is properly connected and that the green (Link) and yellow (Sync) LEDs are blinking. Try reducing the HDMI cable length (max 2m at 4K 60Hz) or change the HDMI port on the display. Reboot in order: extender, display, source.

What cables to use for long-distance connections?

Use a high-quality solid-core Cat.6 or Cat.7 cable (U/UTP or F/UTP). Avoid stranded cables or intermediate connections (couplers, patch panels) that reduce performance.

Does the extender support HDR?

Yes, it is compatible with HDR10 and HDCP 2.2, ensuring HDR signal transmission with bandwidth up to 18 Gbit/s.

How to use the RS-232 port?

Connect a PC or serial controller to the 3-pin Phoenix connection block (pins: GND, TX, RX). The extender transmits RS-232 signals bidirectionally, allowing control of compatible devices.

How to mount the units?

The metal units come with a mounting kit. You can attach them to a wall or under a desk using the included screws and brackets. Mounting is simple and discreet.

USER MANUAL 38219 Lindy

WICTIG !!!

Thank you for purchasing the Lindy C6 HDMI 2.0 18G HDBaseT 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 C6 Lindy HDMI 2.0 18G HDBaseT Extender is a cost effective, high performance solution for sending HDMI 2.0 signals over long distances, helping break the distance barrier for HDMI 2.0. Using a single low cost Cat.6 cable to make the long distance connection, the HDMI Extender provides full support for Ultra HD 4K 60Hz resolutions, including support for HDR10 (High Dynamic Range) and HDCP 2.2, ensuring it meets the demands of contemporary AV installations. Support for the full range of HDMI 2.0 defined resolutions, which need up to 18Gbps of bandwidth, requires the Extender to use a visually lossless compression, latency free technology, to enable the extension of signals via HDBaseT Technology.

For added convenience and to enable discreet installation of the Receiver unit the Extender supports PoC (Power over Cat.6) allowing a single power supply to be used with either the Transmitter or Receiver to power both units.

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.

Installation

Important! Before starting the installation, please ensure that all devices are powered off.

Please Note: The maximum HDMI cable length which can be used in/out is 5m with resolutions up to 4K 30Hz, or 2m with 4K resolutions with 60Hz refresh rate.

1. Connect your HDMI equipped source device to the Transmitter unit using a good quality HDMI cable.
2. Connect one end of the Cat.6/7 cable (max. length 100m @ 1920x1080p or 70m @ 3840x2160p) to the HDBaseT OUT port on the Transmitter and the other end to the HDBaseT IN port of the Receiver. U/UTP or F/UTP solid core installation cable is recommended.
3. Use another HDMI cable to connect your HDMI display device to the HDMI output port on the Receiver unit.
4. Plug the DC power supply into the Transmitter or Receiver and switch on.
5. Power on your source device and display to complete the installation.

In addition to the basic installation steps outlined above the HDMI 2.0 18G Extender can also provide the following additional/optional functionality:

10/100 Ethernet

The Transmitter and Receiver units both feature a single RJ45 port for the connection of network equipment such as a Router, Network Switch, IP Camera, Wireless Access Point or Smart TV.

RS-232 Serial

The Transmitter and Receiver both feature a phoenix block Serial connection for the extension of control signals.

Infrared Control

The Transmitter and Receiver units both feature an IR In and Out port, with two pairs of IR extension cables provided. The extension cables allow an IR remote control to be used from the Transmitter to the Receiver or vice versa.

Troubleshooting

There is no display on the screen.

• It has been found that there are significant differences in the cable lengths/types and even input ports which can be used on different brands of HDTV using HDMI 2.0 4K 60Hz. If you experience problems, please use the following steps:

Try a different input port on your HDTV.
- Reduce the cable length on the Input and Output to 1m .
Try a different type of 1m HDMI Cable.

• Check that the DC plug and jack used by the external power supply is firmly connected and that the power LED is illuminated on both the Transmitter and Receiver.
• Check that the Cat.6/7 cable is plugged in correctly and that the Green Link Status LED on the left side of both the HDBaseT In and Out ports are lit.
• Check that the Yellow Sync Status LED on the right side of the HDBaseT In and Out ports are flashing, if not please power cycle the source and display.
• For several HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and replug their HDMI connection to re-initiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.
  Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the extender, then the display and finally the source.
• Reduce the length of Cat.6/7 or HDMI cable used, or use a higher quality cable.
