Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Lindy HDMI over IP 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.
This HDMI Extender allows you to distribute an HDMI signal up to 1080p via Ethernet network to multiple
displays for applications such as digital signage, public display and large-scale presentations. With support
for crystal-clear digital video, these extenders can take your distribution system to the next level.
These extenders convert the HDMI signal to IP broadcast signals. Network devices can be used to
distribute the signals. These extenders support 1-to-1, 1-to-many and also many-to-many configurations,
with the requirement of using managed network switches supporting broadcast protocols. Because of
bandwidth requirements this video broadcasts should use their own dedicated network connections or
should be used in a separate port based VLAN.

6. Only use network switches that at least support port based VLAN management functions and the
broadcast protocol as well. Configure your network switch so that a separate VLAN is used for the
extender units. If your switch also allows you to define ports as OUTPUT or INPUT you may also
use this function. (The web configuration page of the Extender units is not password protected and
therefore open to any user!)
7. The IP and MAC address of the TX and RX units must be different. The units can be configured
via web browser. Please refer to section Network Setup of TX and RX
