Introduction
Thank you for purchasing from the LINDY HDMI Extender series. This HDMI Extender series
allows you to distribute multiple displays over long distances for applications such as digital
signage, public display and large scale presentations. With support for crystal-clear digital
video, including 3D video, these extenders can take your distribution system to the next level.
This range of products can easily be combined and cascaded to suit almost every application
through the use of inexpensive Cat.6 cable; providing a simple to install, cost effective solution
whether you are distributing or simply extending a HDMI signal.

Installation
1. Before connecting any extender equipment please switch off all devices.
2. Connect the HDMI display to the RX receiver module using HDMI cables.
3. Connect the RX modules to the EX or TX or 8 port Splitter/Transmitter modules using
appropriate high quality Cat.6 or Cat.6A SFTP cables.
4. If you are using EX modules please set the selector switch to CAT6 position if you are
using the RJ45 input port. If you want to use the HDMI input port set the switch to HDMI
position.
5. Set the EDID selection switch on EX and 8 Port Splitter/Transmitter to 8 Bit or 12 Bit
according to what your HDMI display and source equipment support and to what
distances you want to reach. Please note that 12 Bit setting limits the maximum Cat.6
cable length on output to 15m.

6. On the 8 Port Splitter/Transmitter set the other EDID selection switch STD/TV to TV to
use the TVs EDID. In this case the EDID will be read from the first display recognised
starting at output port 1. (Any DVI EDID may be ignored.) If this causes problems to any
of the displays connected or if you want to limit colour depth to 8 Bit switch to the STD
setting: 1080p 8/12 Bit and PCM 2CH Audio.
The 8 Port Splitter/Transmitter provides an HDMI SYNC LED showing the status:
Orange: 3D signal; Red: 2D signal; Off: no sync, check signal cable.
7. Connect The TX or 8 Port Splitter/Transmitter to your HDMI source.
8. Repeat all steps until all HDMI displays are connected.
9. Once all cables are connected, power on all devices starting from the Display(s) and
ending at the HDMI source.
10. If you are having problems with some of your displays or if you want to reduce the colour
depth to 8 bit switch the EDID selector to 8 bit and STD: 1080p 8/12 bit and PCM 2CH
Audio.
Trouble Shooting
CAT6 cable distances are supported up to 40 meters at 1080p/8-bit resolution and 15 meters at
1080p/12-bit resolution provided a high quality HDMI signal is provided by the HDMI source and
high quality S/FTP Cat.6 (or higher) shielded RJ45 cables are used. For a more detailed listing
see the table above in section Features.
• If you cannot reach long distances try higher quality or shorter cables to isolate the
problem or use a more stable HDMI signal source.
• The single Transmitter TX module especially in combination with the Extender EX
module may not be able to support Cat.6 cable distances up to 40m if the HDMI source
signal is not stable. In this case replace the single TX by an EX module and switch its
input to HDMI port.
• If you are using more than 2 layers of cascaded extenders the maximum cable lengths in
the final layer to the RX may be reduced by 10m.
• Please check if all power LEDs are lit. Replace the power supply
• Please check if all cable connections are seated well.
