Type: Quick start guide

Wyrestorm EX-1UTP-IR-40 is a single Cat5e/6/7 point-to-point HD extender set that allows you to extend HDMI signals up to 40m (131ft) using a single Cat5e/6/7 cable. This extender set is perfect for a variety of applications, including home theater, digital signage, and conference rooms.

The EX-1UTP-IR-40 supports resolutions up to 1080p and features a built-in IR receiver and transmitter, which allows you to control your source device from the remote location. The extender set also includes DIP switches that allow you to adjust the EQ and EDID settings to optimize performance for your specific installation.

Extending HDMI using UTP to 40m (131ft)

with IR source control

Attention We strongly recommend using the supplied

mounting brackets to secure both the transmitter and

receiver baluns. Sudden movement of these devices can

lead to unnecessary service call outs and loss of picture/

sound due to stress on connections.

HDMI: Connect the HDMI source (i.e. HD-DVD,

PS3, Cable/Sat box, Blu-ray etc.) to the HDMI IN of the

TRANSMITTER and connect the HDMI DISPLAY (i.e. LCD/

plasma TV, digital projector etc.) to the HDMI OUT of the

RECEIVER.

Use good quality HDMI cable, ensuring connectors are inserted

firmly in ports and avoid excessive bending of cable.

Attention Do Not Hotswap! - Please insert and

extract cables carefully with the power SWITCHED OFF.

Connecting and disconnecting while the unit is powered

can result in damage to circuitry.

One-way IR: Position the small, round IR TX emitter

directly over the infrared receiving area of the SOURCE and

secure with the adhesive backing. You may need to adjust

the location of the emitter later to achieve best results -

repositioning to different areas on the source facia can

sometimes improve IR performance. Insert the IR TX 3.5mm

jack into the IR TX port on the TRANSMITTER.

Tip: You can locate the small, round infrared sensor by shining

a flashlight onto the display panel of your source.

Insert the IR RX 3.5mm jack into the IR RX port on the

RECEIVER. Discretely attach the larger, rectangular emitter to

the DISPLAY with the adhesive backing, ensuring a clear line of

sight to the remote control being used. Again, repositioning IR

RX may be required to achieve best results.

Cat5e/6 Transmission: Connect the TRANSMITTER and

RECEIVER with a single, good quality, well terminated and

tested Cat5e/6 cable with RJ45 connectors wired to 568B

standard at both ends up to a distance of 40m (131ft). (See

diagram)

The quality of each RJ45 termination is essential - poor

termination leads to intermittent performance and longer install

times.

Attention Check connectors are pushed securely into

each port and supported by the connector strain relief

clip to prevent them from becoming loose.

Power: Add the 5V power supplies provided to both

TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER. We do not recommend

passing power remotely over long cable distances as this can

affect product performance.

You can also power TRANSMITER and RECEIVER units

using WyreStorm USB to 5V adaptors connected to DISPLAYS

or SOURCES with spare USB ports. This not only solves space

and power availability problems at locations,

it also offers improved energy efficiency as

extenders are only powered when devices

are turned on.

Finally, power on TRANMITTER,

RECEIVER and all connected devices and

your extender set is ready for use.

Attention Check LED POWER and STATUS are lit

to confirm the units are powered and a signal link is

established between the units. If not, check connections,

devices and power supplies or follow the trouble

shooting overleaf.

Single UTP 40m Extender Set

Part Number EX-1UTP-IR-40

Extending HDMI using Cat5e to 40m (131ft)

with IR source control

Connection and Operation

Place the IR TX EMITTER sensor directly over the infrared receiving

areas of the input source (i.e. Blu-ray, cable/sat box). You may have

to adjust the location of this later to achieve the best performance

results. Sometimes moving the sensor to different places on the

source can improve IR performance.

Connect the IR TX emitter 3.5mm jack into the IR TX port on the

side TRANSMITTER balun.

Place the IR RX receiver sensor on the front of the display. You

may have to adjust the location of this later to achieve the best

performance and ensuring there is clear line of sight between this

sensor and any remote control you are using.

Connect the IR RX RECEIVER 3.5mm jack into the IR RX port on

the side of the RECEIVER balun.

We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets

to secure both the TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER baluns. Any

sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of

picture and sound if connections become loose or strained,

resulting in unnecessary service call backs.

Connect the TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER baluns with a single,

good quality, well terminated and tested *Cat5e/6 cable with RJ45

connectors wired to the 568B standard at both ends.

The quality of each RJ45 termination is essential. Poor termination

leads to intermittent performance and longer install times.

Ensure all connectors are inserted correctly, pushed securely into

each port and supported by the connector strain relief clip to prevent

them from becoming loose.

Finally, add the 5V power supplies provided to both TRANSMITTER and

RECEIVER.

You can power transmitter and receiver units by using the

WyreStorm USB 5V adaptors (CAB-USB-5V) connected to

displays or sources with spare USB ports. This is

not only more energy efﬁcient as the extenders

are only powered when the devices are turned on,

it also solves power availability problems,

especially at the display end.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter installation difculties or issues with device

communication, read through the following checklist of general issues

and causes that should help you shoot your way out of trouble without

seeking further assistance.

No or poor quality picture?

Connected and powered? Double check all HDMI, UTP and 5v power

connections are rmly inserted into correct ports and that all devices are

powered.

Cable length – is your signal struggling to transmit the distance of your

cable? If you are approaching the maximum capacity of your transmission

cable distance, use and in-line repeater to boost your signal or try

changing to long cable mode on the DIP switch.

Signal strength – the use of cable joins, stranded patch panels, wall

outlets and stranded patch leads as interconnects between them, can

signicantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core straight through

connections wherever possible.

If you reduce the resolution of the source, do you get a picture? If so,

this suggests a conicting resolution between source and display or a

bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs and outputs

share the same resolution and make sure the signal is being successfully

transmitted the full length of your cable run.

Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ – signies a failure to fully establish a

signal and can often be caused by poorly terminated RJ45 connectors

or excessive cable lengths. Ensure your cable is correctly wired to 568B

standards. Try swapping in a display and receivers from a fully functioning

location – if the problem continues on the same output, turn off all

equipment and swap your signal carrying cables at both ends.

Cable quality and condition – HDMI cable/connectors can be easily

damaged and the quality of material can vary, especially in lower price

brackets. Always use good quality leads and cables and try swapping for

those already working to see if this improves your image.

Blu-ray and 3D – make sure all your equipment has been congured

and enabled to transmit and accept the signal. Are resolutions between

source and display compatible and cable adequate for the large

bandwidth required by Blu-ray and 3D transmissions?

IR Control

Are IR emitters and receivers correctly positioned to allow infrared

signals to be transmitted and received through the baluns? Emitters

should be xed rmly over infrared sensors of sources. Receivers should

be attached to displays ensuring a clear line of sight to the remote control

used to operate.

Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible

to the naked eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing

the remote handset sensor through a digital camera/camera phone – the

sensor should ash when a button on the handset is held down.

IR signal dropout can be experienced due to exterior emissions of

infrared radiation. Ensure emitters and receivers are away from direct

sunlight, halogen lighting and plasma screens that may interfere with IR

signals.

Safety Recommendations:

Do not expose this apparatus to any form of moisture, including the

placement of anything containing liquids on the unit.

To prevent risk of electric shock or re hazard, ensure apparatus is

installed in an unobstructed, well ventilated area away from any external

heat sources - including other electrical devices which may produce heat.

Only use attachments / accessories specied by the manufacturer and

refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.

Failure to adhere to these recommendations may invalidate your

warranty.
