EDID learning mode - set Pin #1 - ON first then
connect the HDTV set to the HDMI In via HDMI
cable, wait for 20 seconds to complete the EDID
learning process. To learn the EDID of another
HDTV, repeat the process.

Hardware Installation
Broadcasts HDMI signals to up to 4 remote displays.
1. Switch off all devices, including display(s).
2. Connect your HDMI source (such as a Blu-ray Disc
player) to the HDMI Input of the 1x4 HDMI 1.3
CAT5eDistributionAmplifier.
3. Connectthe1x4HDMI1.3CAT5eDistributionAmplifier
to the receivers (CE-H20111-S1 or CE-H20211-S1)
via CAT5e cable(s).
4. Connect the HDMI cable(s) from the receivers (CE-
H20111-S1orCE-H20211-S1)totheHDMIdisplay(s).
5. Plug the included power adapter into the +5VDC
power adapter jack of the 1x4 HDMI 1.3 CAT5e
DistributionAmplifier.
6. Power on all devices.
Notes
1. If the HDMI device requires the EDID information,
please use a EDID Reader/Writer (not included) to
retrieve and provide the EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are
measured using Belden CAT5e 125MHz LAN cable
and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-
859C.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the
type of LAN cables, the type of HDMI sources, and
the type of HDMI displays. The testing result
shows solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable
300m/1000ft form) can transmit longer distances
than stranded LAN cables (usually in patch cord
form).
4
Shielded STP cables are better suited than
unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable
shows longer transmission distance than stranded
STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid
LAN cables are your best choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-Btermination(T568B)forLANcables
is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded
twisted pairs of wires in the LAN cable, you can use
shielded LAN cables to reduce EMI problems.
6. Because the quality of the LAN cables has a major
effect in the transmission distance, the actual
transmission length is subject to your LAN cables.
For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a
CAT6 cable is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it
is found that the first HDMI input (HDMI input #1)
generally can produce better transmission
performance among all HDMI inputs.
