APPLICATIONS
HD-IP is designed to function as an HDMI extender (point to point), or as a
distribution system via a dedicated network (single source).
HDMI EXTENSION
In extension applications (point to point), the transmitter may be connected
directly to the receiver, for distances up to 250 ft. (75m), using Cat 6 cable. Cat 5
cable may also be used, but range varies depending on the quality of the cable. A
GbE network switch can be added in a Cat 6 path to effectively double the range.
The example below depicts the HD-IP system
in a basic HDMI extension application.
In this configuration, HDMI cables connect the source and display equipment
to the respective 2801 Transmitter and 2811 Receiver. A Cat 5 or 6 UTP cable
connects the 2801 to the 2811. Properly terminated Cat 6 cables will result in
the longest possible range. Terminate the cables to either the EIA 568A or 568B
standard for best performance. Correct pairing is vital, and should always be
checked with a network cable tester. The DIP switches on the 2801 and 2811
should all be in the DOWN position.
USING THE IR PATHWAY
IR signals can be passed from a 2811 Receiver back to the 2801 Transmitter to
control the source equipment. Most 3rd party IR receivers are compatible with
the system when used with a connecting block. Be advised that environmental
conditions such as Plasma/LCD televisions, fluorescent lighting and sunlight
might adversely affect the performance of your IR receivers.
1. With power disconnected from the 2811 Receiver,
connect your IR receiver and its power supply to
a standard 12V IR connecting block. Connect a
MONO 3.5mm cable from the emitter output of the
connecting block to the 2811’s 3.5mm IR port.
Pin out is shown.
2. With power disconnected from the 2801
Transmitter, connect a standard IR emitter to the
2801’s IR 3.5mm IR port. Pin out is shown.
