Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY HDMI over Ethernet Extender Classic. This HDMI Extender allows
you to connect one transmitter to one receiver unit via Cat.5e/6 cable connection or to distribute an HDMI
and IR remote control signal up to 1080p via Ethernet network to one or multiple displays for applications
such as digital signage, public display and large scale video presentations.
These extenders convert the HDMI signal to UPnP Ethernet broadcast signals. Network devices can be
used to distribute the signals. These extenders support 1-to-1 and 1-to-many configurations, with the
requirement of using a separate network supporting UPnP broadcast protocol. Many-to-many
configurations can be arranged by separated networks.
Features
HDMI and IR signal extension through Ethernet or direct Cat.5e/6 cable connection
IR signal extension to control the HDMI source from the receiver side
Ability to cascade up to 4 layers of network switches
HDMI with HDCP support, 480i up to 1080p60@8bit supported, not 3D capable

Installation
1. Connect the HDMI display(s) to the Receiver(s) and the HDMI source to the Transmitter using
HDMI cable.
2. If required connect the IR TX cable to the Transmitter and the IR RX cable to the Receiver.
3. Connect the power supplies.
4. Connect your TX and RX Extenders. You may either use a 1-to-1 RJ45 cable connection up to
120m using Cat.6 or 100m using Cat.5e or use a 1-to-1 or 1-to-many dedicated Fast Ethernet.
5. Only use network switches that at least support port based VLAN management functions or use a
dedicated network with no other devices. UPnP broadcast protocol and Jumbo Frames must be
supported as well. IP addresses are not assigned - a DHCP server is not required.
Trouble Shooting
Please only use HDTV/SDTV resolutions like 1080i/p@50/60Hz, 720p@50/60Hz, 576i/p@50Hz or
480i/p@60Hz. Other resolutions may not work.
Please make sure all cable connections are seated well.
Press the small Reset buttons near the RJ45 port.
Yellow LED on RJ45 port is not lit: Network is not working or RJ45 cable is too long/faulty
If you are not using a separated network, i.e. via port VLAN configuration, your network may suffer
from extremely high traffic causing certain other network devices to fail. If this is the case please use
a dedicated network or contact an experienced network technician to set up your network
If you cannot locate the problem – and if it is NOT just a network problem – please contact LINDY
support team. The worldwide contact information is available from the LINDY website.
