CAUTION
HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the signal and the same
video resolution and audio settings on all electronic equipment in the system. When there are multiple
sources and displays, the video resolution and audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted
to correspond with that of the display having the lowest video and audio capability.

FEATURES
The Vanco 280621 HDMI Extender over Single Cat5e/6 with HDBaseT Technology, Bi-directional
IR, RS-232 and PoE extends high denition video and audio signals, IR, RS-232, and power at
a distance of up to 230ft/70m over a single Cat5e/6 cable. 4K2K (2160p @30hz) resolution
compatible, and can be extended up to 131ft/40m. Features HDBaseT Technology that allows for
greater transmission range compared to standard HDMI extenders. Also features Power over
Ethernet (PoE) Technology which transmits power over Cat5e/6, allowing for either Transmitter
or Receiver to be powered without the use of a power supply. The result is an easy and exible
installation with low maintenance. Deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP is
supported and compatible with the 280621. In addition, bi-directional IR pass-through allows for
source or display control. For extending HDMI over a single Cat5e/6 with IR at a long distance,
with plug and play HDBaseT technology, the 280621 is a great solution!
The 280621 includes two units: transmitting unit (280621-TX) and receiving unit (280621-RX).
The transmitting unit is used to capture the HDMI input with IR signals and carries the signals via
one cost effective Cat5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted
HDMI signal and reconstructing IR and serial control signals. The 280621 offers the most
convenient solution for HDMI extension over a single Cat5e/6 with long distance capability, and is
the perfect solution for any application.

EDID
The EDID switch allows for EDID learning or to pre-set an EDID to encourage a “handshake” between the
display and source.
The EDID switch helps out in forcing or encouraging a handshake between the source and display with the
extender in between. If you are not receiving a video/audio signal with the extender in place, verify the
category cable isn’t the issue by connecting a pre-terminated jumper or patch cable. Also verify the source is
actually sending a signal by connecting straight to the display via HDMI.
See below for EDID table, when any of the EDID position selections are made, the Transmitter will set a xed
EDID to the source. To make this adjustment, follow the below steps while every component is TURNED ON.
1. Unplug the POWER SUPPLY (if connected, if not and utilizing PoE, unplug category cable to power off
Transmitting unit ) and HDMI cable from the Transmitting unit only.
2. Adjust the EDID switch to the desired setting
3. Connect the Power Supply
4. Connect the HDMI cable
At this point the EDID you’ve selected is now sent to the source, check the display for video/audio signals.
NOTE: The port will only read the DIP switch settings on power-up. The device must be powered off and then
back on again for it to implement any change of the DIP switch settings.

CONNECT AND OPERATE
1. Connect a source such as a Blu-Ray Player, game console, A/V Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc.
to the HDMI input on the Transmitting unit
2. Connect a display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI output on the Receiving unit.
3. Connect a single Category 5e/6/7 up to 230ft/70m to the HDBaseT output of the Transmitting unit, and
the other end to the HDBaseT input of the Receiving unit.
4. For power, plug in either the Transmitting unit or Receiving unit with the included power supply, opposite
unit will not have to be plugged in as it features Power over Ethernet (PoE).
5. Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver and transmitter will already be powered when either
unit is plugged in.)
At this point the display connected should display the source signal connected to the extender set. If no
signal is being displayed, connect a shorter Cat5e/6 cable (jumper or patch cable). If a display is having
difculty receiving a signal, access the display’s menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal
is displayed). A 24 Hz vertical refresh rate may work better than 60 Hz or higher. Use the source remote at
the receiver emitter to test IR functionality. If the IR remote function is not responding, check the emitters to
ensure they are placed correctly and are plugged into the correct IR jacks on the Extender set receiving and
transmitting units.

The bi-directional IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the extender unit, from the
display; or the display from the source, not simultaneously. There are two important things to note when
setting up the IR system:
1. The IR Receiver (IR RX) is always what you point your remote at to send an IR signal. This pigtail is placed
at the display for controlling the source; or at the source for controlling the display.
2. The IR Blaster (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to what you are intending to control, whether it’s the
source or the display. This pigtail is placed at the source; either pointed at the source, or placed on the
front panel of the source, see below for placement tips. Or placed at the display to control the display
from the source.
IR BLASTER (TX)
To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of transmitter unit (280621-TX); place transmitter in
front of the IR eye of the source.
To control the display: Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of receiver unit (280621-RX); place transmitter in front
of the IR eye of the display.
Note: Placement of the IR Blaster is important and can result in the IR system not working if improperly
placed.

window. The IR signal cannot travel through the double-sided tape on the Blaster. Instead place the blaster
on either side, or on the top or bottom of the IR eye or window, with the tip of the blaster facing the IR eye or
window. See below for illustration of where IR signal shoots from on IR Blaster:

IR RECEIVER (RX)
To control the source: Plug IR Receiver into IR RX port of receiver unit (280621-RX); place receiver at or
near display.
To control the display: Plug IR Receiver into IR RX port of transmitter unit (280621-TX); place receiver in
position where it is able to receive remote signals.
To Control the Source:
1. Plug the IR Blaster into the IR TX Port
on the Transmitter
2. Plug the IR Receiver into the IR RX Port
on the Receiver
IR CONTROL
To Control the Display:
1. Plug the IR Receiver into the IR RX Port
on the Transmitter
2. Plug the IR Blaster into the IR TX Port
on the Receiver
