Thank you for purchasing the REX2.1 Extender

The REX2.1 is a HDMI 1.4b Extender set designed to provide

years of reliable service. Please keep this manual as a reference.

Surge protection device recommended

The external supply is very robust, but a surge device is always

good insurance in electrically active areas where the power grid

is unreliable. If connected to satellite or cable boxes, a

HDSURGE is recommended to prevent surges through the HDMI

cable.

tender set that supports HDR

@24/25/30Hz. Applications are; 4K

cameras/NVR/DVR where HDCP2.2 is

not used and as a far more robust

version of the REX1 for 1080p appli-

cations (longer distance more

throughput) Small size makes it easy

to place behind displays. 1 Way IR

kit is included and sends IR from the

display end to the transmission end.

Upgrade over REX2 is that the REX2.1

powers at the TX only.

At the TX end:

Is everything connected (Cat, HDMI, Power etc)?

Is the HDMI cable in the HDMI input of the TX? We often

use a loop out, make sure the input is not in this port.

What are the lights where the Cat cable plugs into doing?

Is the Green Lit Solid?

Yes, good! Flashing or off

the category cable is poor.

This can be the termination

(check the manual for wiring

termination), poor wire, or

interference from being run

poorly

Is the Amber Lit Solid?

Yes good! Flashing slowly

means no HDCP, off means

no signal at HDMI port(s)

How to use and trouble shoot

Typical Extender use

At the RX end:

Is the Green Lit Solid?

Yes, good! Flashing or off

the category cable is poor.

This can be the termination

(check the manual for wiring

termination), poor wire, or

poorly

Is the Amber Lit Solid?

Yes good! Flashing slowly

means no HDCP, off means

no signal at HDMI port(s)

Other Techniques:

Make the circuit simpler. Move the source near the

display or the display near the source and see if it

works with a short HDMI cable. You can use this to

verify the HDMI cables work as well. Add components

until the system fails.

Use a known working run of category cable across the

floor and see if behavior changes.

It is often the case that the display’s setting can cause

odd/poor behavior. Consult the display’s tech

resources. Also, it is possible we have seen the issue

and may have a tech paper on this.

Not a bad idea to keep the following on your service

vehicle:

• Test source like an AppleTV or signal generator

• Known working HDMI cables

• Known working terminated Category cable

• SP12S splitter for clocking issues, etc.
