What does it do and how do I use it?

The HDMI transmitter sits next to your source, such as a Blu-ray player and is connected to the source by a HDMI cable. The receiver should be plugged into an output device such as a HDTV, using a HDMI cable. The output device can be located up to 100 metres away. The network cable can then be run in between the transmitter and receiver up to 100 metres in length and should be wired in the 568B format. Control of the source (Blu-ray player) via the receiver is possible using the IR eyes.

Why buy?

Our HDMI extender allows installers to take advantage of network cable for connecting HDMI devices over long distances. Network cable is most commonly used for computer networking, it is readily available and is very cheap. An RJ45 extender device such as this is a much more cost effective way to connect devices over long distances without loss of signal quality, (HDMI cables could only be run up to 15 metres, would require a lot of shielding and would be very expensive). Network cable is relatively thin and flexible so it is easily installed, for example through walls. It can be self terminated which allows for tailored lengths to meet the exact requirements of any home or commercial installation.



Distance – Actual usable distance between the transmitter and receiver will vary on a number of factors including strength of signal, quality of terminations and local sources of interference. The use of FTP network cable when it is being run passed power cables is recommended.

Build Quality – The units are well built and are compact. They have a durable metal chassis.

Gold Plated Connectors – to increase signal quality

Infrared Eyes - There are 2 infrared eyes, one is connected to the transmitter and the other is connected to the receiver. The eyes allow you to manage the equipment connected to your transmitter via the receiver with your remote control. For example you could control a Blu-ray player that is downstairs from upstairs of your home. The IR system in these units works on 38KHz, you need to check the equipment you wish to control (for example a Blu-ray Player) and make sure it works on the same frequency band otherwise it will not work.

Cables – In order to produce the best quality over long distances, we would recommend use of high quality cables, running to and from the transmitter and receiver. If you need guidance, please email us. The use of pure copper CAT5e/CAT6 is recommended.
