Introduction

The PT-E-HD10 HDMI™ over Single Cat.X Extender with 2-way IR boosts up your video/audio transmission distance up to 50m (165ft) in HDTV 1080i format, and 40m (130ft) in HDTV 1080p format. PT-E-HD10 also supports the most advanced 3D video format complaint with HDMI specification and therefore guarantees the highest 3D video compatibility on the market. With only one cost effective Cat.X cable, users can readily extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources compliant with TMDS to distant display monitors including HDMI or DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. With the advanced design for the latest HDMI technology, deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP supports and compatibility are all further insured. This flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components apart. In addition, PT-E-HD10 is also equipped with bi-directional IR pass-through path. This bonus feature allows users to boost IR control distance up to 100m (330 ft) and makes IR control possible through only single Cat.X cable including HDMI signals.

The PT-E-HD10 includes two units: transmitting unit PT-E-HD10-TX and receiving unit PT-E-HD10-RX. The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals with IR control packets and carry the signals via one cost effective Cat.X cable. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR signals. The transmission distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 50m (165ft) at HD 720p or 1080i; or 40m (130ft) at Full HD 1080p. With an 8-level equalization rotary control on the receiving unit, users can adjust the equalization strength to the received HDMI signals accordingly, and therefore optimize the transmission distance between source and destination!

Note: The claimed transmission distance here is subject to the grade of installed cable(s), source device and display.For over CAT5/COAX transmission, the cable(s) has to be solid, not stranded. Any keystone jack along the transmission path will kill the transmission performance significantly!

IR Blaster IR Receiver

Note: You can buy any IR extension cables in the market that are compatible to the definition of the IR sockets for the matrix if necessary for replacement use. However, IR cables longer than 2m (6-ft) may not work.

Hardware Installation

1. Connect a HDMI or DVI source (such as a Blu-ray Disc player) to the transmitting unit PT-E-HD10-TX
2. Connect a HDMI or DVI display (such as a LCD TV) to the receiving unit PT-E-HD10-RX.
3. Connect IR Blaster/Receiver to both TX and RX units.
4. Connect a Cat-5/5e/6 cable between the transmitting and receiving units.
5. Make sure this Cat-5/5e/6 cable is tightly connected and not loose.
6. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the receiving unit PT-E-HD10-RX.
7. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the transmitting unit PT-E-HD10-TX.
8. If you see flickering or blinking image on the display, please adjust the rotary control switch to improve the cable skew. MAX stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for longest possible transmission length while MIN stands for the weakest HDMI signal level for short transmission length. Please adjust the signal level from 7 to 0 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!

EDID Learning

1. Turn on to the transmitting unit (TX) of PT-E-HD10.
2. Set the MODE rotary switch on the transmitting unit to 7.
3. Use a HDMI cable to connect the transmitting unit (TX) of PT-E-HD10 and the display. The LED on the RJ-45 port of the transmitting unit (TX) of PT-E-HD10 will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning process is finished.
4. Unplug everything and resume the steps in [Installation].

Notice

1. When adjusting the signal level on the receiver unit, 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. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide DVI or HDMI display EDID information.
3. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
4. 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.
5. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
