Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the HDMI & IR Cat.6 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.
The HDMI & IR Cat.6 Extender is a simple to use plug and play solution which lets you extend an HDMI
AV signal up to 50m* using a single low-cost Cat.6 UUTP cable (not included). For added convenience IR
signals (20-60 kHz) can also be extended using the supplied IR Receiver and Emitter cables. Supporting
resolutions up to Full HD 1080p, including 1080p 3D, the Extender is designed for use in AV and digital
signage applications in a variety of settings such as home, education, business, retail and healthcare.
The Extender features an HDMI loop-through output on the Transmitter with simultaneous viewing so that
a local display can be connected for monitoring or to create an additional viewing zone. To ensure the
maximum compatibility when two displays are connected the EDID data, which determines the supported
video and audio formats, can be used from either a local monitor connected to the Transmitter or the
remote monitor connected to the Receiver.
Power over Cat.6 (PoC) functionality enables the Extender to operate from a single power supply
connected to the Transmitter, allowing the Receiver to be located where there is limited access to mains
power sockets making it ideal for retro fit installations. In addition to PoC functionality the Extenders slim
design and integrated mounting brackets make it easier to install in limited spaces behind modern flat
screen displays.
*Please Note: The quoted lengths and resolutions are possible with a direct connection between
Transmitter and Receiver using good quality Cat.6 solid core cable. Using a different cable type, or
introducing wall plates, couplers or patch panels will result in a reduction of possible distances.
