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.

INTRODUCTION

The Evolution by Vanco EVEXFBRK1 HDMI Extender with KVM, bi-directional IR, and RS-232, extends 4K HDR video and

audio signals up to 984ft/300M over multi-mode ber optic cables, and 6.2mi/10km over single mode ber optic cables

and modules! USB 2.0 KVM allows for controlling a security NVR/DVR, computer, NAS system, or any other component

that is controlled by USB with this extender. No need to run a separate line or extender just for KVM control! Bi-directional

IR pass-through allows for source and/or display control. Also features RS-232 pass-through for additional control. For

extending HDMI with 4K HDR resolution at an extreme distance, the EVEXFBRK1 is a great solution for any application.

The EVEXFBRK1 includes two units: transmitting unit (EVEXFBRK1-TX) and receiving unit (EVEXFBRK1-RX). The

transmitting unit is used to capture the HDMI input with control signals and carries the signals via ber optic cables. The

receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR signals. Both units require

power.

Passing through USB or IR/RS-232 Signals

CONTROL TYPE SET UP

While the EVEXFBRK1 can pass-through USB 2.0, bi-directional IR, and RS-232, it cannot do all three signals

simultaneously. If USB is activated, bi-directional IR and RS-232 pass-through will be inactive, and vice versa.

See the below table (PIN #2). The dip switches allow for rmware updates (PIN #1) and to either activate or

de-activate IR as well (PIN #3).

See below for dip switch settings, note that DOWN is ON and both TX and RX need to be set to

the same 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 ber optical cables with modules and insert into the output of the Transmitting unit, and the other

end to the SFP input of the Receiving unit

4. For power, plug in both the Transmitting unit and Receiving unit with the included power supplies

5. Power on each device in the same sequence

6. Optional: Connect the single mode modules for longer distance ber optical cable run (not included)

At this point the display connected should display the source signal connected to the extender set. If no signal

is being displayed, connect a ber optical cable to rule out cabling. If a display is having difculty 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.

IR PASS-THRU

IR PASS-THROUGH

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.

3. Use only the IR accessories that are incnluded with this extender, using third party IR blasters and/or

receivers may not work

IR Receiver IR Blaster

IR Blaster (TX)

• To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR Blaster Port of transmitter unit (EVEXFBRK1-TX); place

blaster in front of the IR eye of the source

• To control the display: Plug IR Blaster into IR Receiver Port of receiver unit (EVEXFBRK1-RX); place

blaster 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.

• First, locate the IR eye or window on the source

• If placing the IR Blaster right on the front panel of the source, do not stick right on top of the IR eye or

IR 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:

www.vanco1.com 800.626.6445

IR RECEIVER (RX)

• To control the source: Plug IR Receiver into IR RX port of receiver unit (EVEXFBRK1-RX); place receiver

at or near display

• To control the display: Plug IR Receiver into IR RX port of transmitter unit (EVEXFBRK1-TX); place

receiver in position where it is able to receive remote signals
