input source display.

UTP port for connecting to CATx Receiver by CATx cable for

signalextension.

Coax for connection to an amplifier with coaxial cable.

3. IR RX: Connect to the IR Receiver for IR signal reception. Ensure that remote control

being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR receiver.

4. IR TX: Connect the IR Blaster cable included in the package for IR signal transmission.

Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled.

5. RS232: Connect the RS232 port to the PC or notebook using RS232 Cable (provided).

6. DC 12V: Plug the 12V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor to AC wall

outlet.



4.3 CATx Remote Unit

1. DC 5V: Connect from 5V DC power supply into the unit and connect the adaptor to an AC

outlet.

2. IR RX: Connect to the IR Receiver for IR signal reception. Ensure that remote control

being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR receiver.

3. IR TX: Connect the IR Blaster cable included in the package for IR signal transmission.

Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled.

4. CAT5E/6: Connect the CAT input of the Remote Unit to the CAT output of the transmitter

(SPLITMUX) using CAT5E/6/6a/7 cable.

5. HDMI OUT: Connect the HDMI input port of your display such as an HDTV.

6. LOCK LED: This LED will illuminate when the HDMI signal from the transmitter is stable.

7. Power LED: This LED will illuminate when the device is connected with power supply.

8. Coaxial OUT: Connect to the audio amplifier with coaxial cable.

9. ARC : Switch the ARC switcher to enable or disable the ARC function.

ARC function : In order to use ARC, your HDTV must support this function.

When you enable the ARC function (switch in “ON” position), the coaxial of the

receiver will output the audio signal of the current HDTV display. If you switch the

input at the display to view the signal from a source connected to a different input on

the display (different than the signal from your Remote Unit), the audio from that

source will play back through the amplifier connected to the Coaxial of the Remote

Unit.

When disabled (switch in “OFF” position), the coaxial will only output the HDMI source

(DVD, set-top-box, etc) audio signal from the SPLITMUX.

5. Connect and Operate

1. Connect the signal sources such as Blu-Ray Player, Play Station 3, audio/video receiver,

satellite receivers and computers equipped with HDMI output interfaces with a

high-speed HDMI cable to the SPLITMUX inputs.

2. Connect the HDMI output of the SPLITMUX to a high-definition display device such as

HD-LCD, HD-DLP or HD projector with an HDMI input connection. Use a high-speed

HDMI cable that is recommended for the distance required.

3. The SPLITMUX is powered by an external power supply (included). Connect power first

to the signal source(s), then to the SPLITMUX and then to the display device.

4. If the CATx receiver is used, connect a CATx cable (see resolution chart on Specifications

page) between the “UTP” port on the SPLITMUX and the Remote Unit. Then an

additional display device can be connected to the Remote Unit using an HDMI cable.

To control the input source via remote control from the extended display device, see “IR

RECEIVER” in section 5.1.

5. If an amplifier is used, connect a coax cable with RCA connector to the “COAX” port on

the SPLITMUX, and connect the other end to a stereo amplifier or self-powered

speakers.

5.1 Wideband IR (30KHz---60KHz)

IR BLASTER (TX)

To control the source:Plug IR Blaster into a numbered “IR TX” port of the transmitter unit

(SPLITMUX); place IR blaster in front of the IR eye of the associated input source. Repeat

for each connected source.

IR RECEIVER (RX)

To locally control the source from the SPLITMUX:Plug IR Receiver into the “IR RX” port

of the SPLITMUX; place IR receiver at or near display.

To remotely control the source from the extended Display: Plug IR Receiver into IR RX
