What is the maximum resolution supported?

The REX1 supports resolutions up to 1080p Full HD at 60Hz.

Does the extender require external power?

Yes, both the transmitter and receiver need power via the included USB cables or optional 5V DC adapters (not included).

Can I use this extender with a DVI source?

Yes, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter on the input side, but audio will not be transmitted.

What is the maximum cable distance?

Using CAT5e/6 cable, the maximum recommended distance is 30 meters (100 feet) for reliable signal.

Why is there no picture on my display?

Check that all cables are securely connected, both units are powered (LEDs should be on), and the source is set to HDCP-compatible output. Try a shorter Ethernet cable.

Is the extender HDCP compliant?

Thank you for purchasing the REX2 Extender

The REX2 is a HDMI 1.4b 4K Extender set designed to provide years of reliable service. Please keep this manual as a reference.

Surge protection device recommended

The external supply is very robust, but a surge device is always good insurance in electrically active areas where the power grid is unreliable. If connected to satellite or cable boxes, the HDSURGE is recommended to prevent surges through the HDMI cable.

PANEL DESCRIPTIONS

Transmitting unit

① HDMI in: This is where you connect the HDMI output of your source equipment such as DVD/Blu-ray players or Set-Top-Box with an HDMI cable.
② EDID: Copy EDID function, switch to right position, the extender will copy HDMI loop out display EDID information to source. Switch to left position, the extender will copy receiver display EDID to source.
③ HDMI out: This is a loop out connection essentially it is a built-in splitter. This is suitable for "intercepting" a HDMI cable as well.
④ IR out: Connect the IR Blaster device included in the package for IR signal transmission. Pace the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled.
⑤ Power LED: This LED will illuminate when the device is connected with power supply.
⑥ CAT: Connection for the CAT5E/6 cable to link the Rx and Tx devices.
⑦ Link LED: This LED will illuminate when the device is connected to HDMI source.
⑧ DC 5V: Connect from 5V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor to an AC outlet.

Receiver unit

① EQ switch: HDMI Receiver equalizer switch for optimizing the Rx to the Cat5E/Cat6 cable length.
② HDMI out: This connection is for the HDMI cable that runs to your display such as an HDTV or projector.
③ IR in: Connect to the IR Receiver for IR signal reception. Ensure that remote being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR receiver.
④ Power LED: This LED will illuminate when the device is connected with power supply.
⑤ CAT: Connection for the CAT5E/6 cable to link the Rx and Tx devices.
⑥ Lock LED: This LED will illuminate when the HDMI signal from the transmitter is stable.
⑦ DC 5V: Connect from 5V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor to an AC outlet. (For POC fuciton, the receiver does not need power supply).

RX Equalizer distance adjust

If you see flickering or blinking image on the display, adjust the EQ switch to improve the cable skew. MAX stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for the longest possible transmission length while MIN stands for the weakest HDMI signal level for short transmission length. Adjust the signal level from MIN to MAX until desired video quality is displayed.

1. Connect a 1080p/720p/1080i source such as a Blu-Ray Player, game console, A/V Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc. to the HDMI input on the Transmitting unit.
2. Connect a 1080p/720p/1080i display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI output on the Receiving unit.
3. Connect a single Category 5e/6 up to 164ft/50m to the output of the Transmitting unit, and the other end to the input of the Receiving unit.
4. For power, plug both the Transmitting unit and Receiving unit with the included power supplies.
5. Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver and transmitter will already be powered when either unit is plugged in.)

At this point the display connected should display the source signal connected to the extender set. If no signal is being displayed, check the receiver EQ switch. If a display is having difficulty receiving a signal, see EDID section and perform EDID learning or access the display's menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is displayed). A 24 Hz vertical refresh rate may work better than 60 Hz or higher f there are cabling issues. Use the source remote at the receiver emitter to test IR functionality. If the IR remote function is not responding, check the emitters to ensure they are placed correctly and are plugged into the correct IR jacks on the Extender set receiving and transmitting units.
