1.0 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this Cat 5 HDMI extender system from Audio Authority. The HDP-11 transmits HDMI signals over Cat 5e/6 cables to achieve distances many times those possible using an HDMI cable. The HDP-11 can achieve distances of 450 feet (150m) with 1080p and embedded 2-channel audio. The HDP-11 employs a combination of digital and analog transmission methods over two Cat 5 cables (Cat 5, Cat 5e or Cat 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables may be used).
2.0 CHECKING PACKAGE CONTENTS Before connecting the HDP-11, please make certain the following items are in the shipping carton. (If you purchased the 1381T or 1381R separately, ignore irrelevant items.) • 1381T Transmitter • 1381R Receiver • 5V DC Power Adapter • User Manual Note: Please retain the original packing material in case you need to return the unit. If you find any items are missing, contact Audio Authority immediately. Have the model number and invoice available for reference when you call.
3.1 TERMINATING CAT 5E/6 CABLES Use standard EIA-568A or B pairing, assigning low twist density pairs to the four center pins, and high density pairs to outside pins. Correct pairing is vital, and should always be checked with a network cable tester. The correct pairing is straight through, pin-to-pin, as shown.
3.2 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE 1. Connect the HDMI source device’s output to the HDMI INPUT connector of the 1381T Transmitter, using a short, high quality, HDMI cable. 2. Connect a correctly terminated and tested Cat 5 cable to the Cat 5 Output A connector of the Transmitter. Connect a second Cat 5 cable to the Cat 5 Output B. Mark the cables at both ends so that you do not inadvertently swap them.
4.0 OPERATING THE UNITS The Gain and Equalization controls on the 1381R Receiver should be adjusted to optimize the video signal for the Cat 5 cable length. Low Gain and Equalization settings are usually best for shorter cable runs but receivers located at the end of cable runs near the limit of specified range may benefit from higher Equalization and/or Gain adjustments. It is best to make adjustments after permanent source and video display equipment is installed.
5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING • Poor image quality: see the previous section, Operating the Units. • No surround sound (multi-channel audio): this system does not accept multi-channel digital audio; adjust the source to output 2-channel PCM digital audio. • No picture: perform the verifications below. • Check the HDMI cables at all four connections to see if any of the connectors have become loose. • Make certain the 1381T and 1381R are connected to live AC outlets and check the power indicators on both units.
