INTRODUCTION

The 

HDMI-C5S4IR HDMI Extender over Single Cat.X with Bi-directional IR

 boosts up your video/audio 

transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV 1080i format, 40m (130ft) in HDTV 1080p format, and 20m (65ft) 
in HDTV 1080p with 36-bit color depth. HDMI-C5S4IR also supports the most advanced 3D video format complaint 
with HDMI 1.4 specification and therefore guarantees the highest 3D video compatibility on the market. With 
only one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 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. With the advanced design for the latest HDMI technology, deep color 
video, DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP supports and compatibility are all further insured. 
This flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a 
greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components apart. In addition, HDMI-C5S4IR is also 
equipped with bi-directional IR pass-through path. This bonus feature allows users to boost IR control distance up 
to 100m (330 ft) and makes IR control possible through only single Cat.5/5e/6 cable including HDMI signals.

The HDMI-C5S4IR includes two units: transmitting unit HDMI-C5S4IR-TX and receiving unit HDMI-C5S4IR-RX. The 
transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals with IR control packets and carry the signals via 
one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal 
and reconstructing IR signals. The transmission distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 60m 
(200ft) at HD 720p or 1080i; or 40m (130ft) at Full HD 1080p. With an 8-level equalization rotary control on the 
receiving unit, users can adjust the equalization strength to the received HDMI signals accordingly, and therefore 
optimize the transmission distance between source and destination.

Features

  HDMI 1.4a compliant [3D video]

  Extend the transmission up to 60m (200ft) from the HDMI source at HD 1080i or 720p 24-bit

  Extend the transmission up to 20m (65ft) from the HDMI source at Full HD 1080p 36-bit

  HDCP 1.1 compliant

  Minimize the cable skew by adjustable 8-level equalization control

  Pure unaltered uncompressed 7.1ch digital HDMI over Cat.5/5e/6 cable transmission

  DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD high bit rate audio support

  Support full frequency IR signal from 20kHz to 60kHz

  Bi-directional IR pass-through

  Allows cascading

  Wall mounting housing design for easy and robust installation

  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!
