Operation and Connections:
Low-power Mode:
If there is no HDMI video input the extenders will enter a low-power mode to save power. Under low
power mode, it will still provide Ethernet, RS-232 (Max 9600bps), IR, CEC and digital optical audio transmission.
Digital Audio Return (ARC):
This HDMI extender supports the audio from the TV to be sent from HDMI ARC or Digital
optical audio mode from the HDMI receiver back to the HDMI transmitter.
On the HDMI receiver when ARC and optical digital inputs signals simultaneously, it will use optical digital as the priority
transmission.
On the HDMI transmitter when it receives digital audio signal, it will output simultaneously from ARC and optical digital.
Caution:
The wiring must be away from any equipment with electromagnetic signal, i.e.: mobile phone, microwave, radio
equipment, fluorescent lamp, and high voltage power lines.
This HDMI extenders HDBaseT port is not for an Ethernet signal, do not connect to Network to avoid damage. Connect your
network connection to RJ45 connection marked Ethernet.
Transmission Range:
If connection is through a wall jack, (not recommended) this could limit the full transmission distance between
the Transmitter and Receiver Extenders. We only recommended using a straight CAT5/6 cable with RJ45 connections on each end.
Shielded Cable:
On most installations it is recommended to use Shielded CAT5/6 cable with properly connected shielded RJ45
connectors. This will prevent video and audio loss due to EMI and other interference from switched lighting and ceiling fans.
Connecting/LED Light Status TX/RX:
- Step 1: First plug power into both the HE1LBIR232 transmitter and receiver. You should see Power light (On Solid Green)
for both units.
- Step 2: Connect your Cat5/6 cable to both transmitter and receiver unit. You should then see the Link light (L) (Blink
Green).
- Step 3: Next go ahead and plug the HDMI cable from your source into the transmitter and the HDMI cable from TV into
the receiver unit. Turn both source and TV on. At this time once they communicate which should be within a few
seconds the Link light (H) will go to a solid red light and you should see a picture at this time.
IR Control Connections:
- Example 1: When using IR remote control at TV side, plug IR receiver into HDMI Receiver Extender and move IR switch
to RX meaning it will receive incoming IR commands from remote. On the source side plug IR blaster into
HDMI Transmitter Extender and move IR switch to TX meaning it will blast out IR commands to source
equipment.
- Example 2: In an example where you use an RF remote or other control system and it communicates back to an RF
receiver and then outputs IR commands to the source equipment and back to TV you will want to set the IR
blaster at the TV location to control the TV and plug into HDMI extender receiver and set the switch to TX
outputting IR code to TV. On the HDMI extender transmitter you will set the switch to RX to receive IR code.
This way when your RF or other control systems output its IR code it can emit to the IR receiver included with
the HDMI extender or use our adapter cable between the HDMI receiver extender and your control system
and control TV or other equipment in that area.
If connecting to other manufacturer emitters or control systems use our IR adapter cable Model:HE1LIR35M35F-.5.
IR Lights:
On the HDMI TX and RX the IR lights will perform as follows: (R) Will blink BLUE when receiving IR commands.
(T) will blink RED when sending IR commands.
Note:
Do not place the IR blaster near or in an area that allows the signal to affect the IR receiver. This can cause
interference and unreliable performance.
