1.0 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this HDMI extender from Audio Authority. This transmitter/receiver unit is designed to extend HDMI version 1.3 signals to remote locations over five coaxial cables, with power for the receiver from the transmitter unit via the fifth cable. For long distances, a power supply may be connected to the receiver. The HCX-11 is capable of high-bandwidth formats including 1080p, 36* bit Deep Color, and lossless audio. The coaxial jacks accept secure, BNC type terminations.
extender system, and as a result, limits maximum cable run length. In general, use cable lengths 9 feet or less. There is one exception to this rule: if the system must pass only 24 bit signals the source may be connected to the HCX‑11 via an 18 foot HDMI cable. When transmitting 36 bit signals, both input and output HDMI connecting cables should be nine feet or less. See FEATURES for maximum coaxial cable lengths.

4.0 INSTALLATION • Before installing the HCX-11 Extender, connect the HDMI source directly to the display using a short, high quality HDMI cable. This precaution is to verify that the display is compatible with the source, and that the source is producing a resolution that the display can accept. • Using Internal Power Mode: The receiver may be powered through a fifth coaxial cable from the transmitter, with no power supply connected to the receiver.
