INTRODUCTION

The 

HDMI-C5IRB  HDMI Audio  &  Video  Dual  CAT5/RJ45  Extender  Kit  With  Bi-Directional  IR  Pass-

Through And Phantom Power

 boosts your audio/video transmission distance up to 200ft (60m) in HDTV 1080i 

format, 130ft (40m) in HDTV 1080p format, and 65ft (20m) in HDTV 1080p with 36 bit color depth. With two cost 
effective solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable, users can readily extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc 
player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources compliant with TMDS to distant display monitors including HDMI 
or DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. The HDMI-C5IRB also features with embedded IR input and output on 
both Transmitting and Receiving units so users can control the source device or HDMI display at romote site via IR 
remote in di-directional IR pass-through.

The HDMI-C5IRB includes two units: Transmitting unit and Receiving unit. The Transmitting unit sends the HDMI or 
DVI signals received from the source device and receives IR signals from the Receiving unit or sends the received 
IR signal from the Transmitting unit via two low cost Cat-5/5e/6 cables. The Receiving unit is responsible for 
equalizing the audio/video data received from the Transmitting unit and sends the IR signals received from the 
IR Receiving to the Transmitting unit or receives IR signals from the Transmitting unit . The transmission distance 
between the audio/video source and the display can be up to 60m / 200ft at HD resolution (720p/1080i), or 40m 
/ 130ft at Full HD resolution (1080p). With 8-level digital signal equalization control on the Receiving unit, users 
can adjust the signal level equalization scale to the received audio/video signals, and therefore optimize the 
transmission distance between source and display.

Features

  HDMI 1.3c compliant, all HDMI 3D formats supported

  Extends the transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) from the sources under 1080i or 720p

  Extends the transmission distance up to 40m (130ft) from the sources under 1080p

  Provides independent DDC channel, fully HDCP compliant

  Minimizes the cable skew by adjustable 8-level equalization rotary control switch

  Support bi-directional full frequency of IR signal, 20kHz ~ 60kHz

  Pure unaltered uncompressed 7.1ch digital HDMI over CAT5/6 cable transmission

  Wall mounting housing design for easy and robust installation

  Only needs power supply at either TX or RX unit

  Perfectly integrated with other HDMI over CAT.X series products

The claimed transmission distance here is subject to the grade of installed cable(s), source 
device and display. 
For over CAT.X transmission, the cable(s) has to be solid, not stranded. Any keystone jack along 
the transmission path will kill the transmission performance significantly!
