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 EVEX2330 HDMI Extender over Single Cat5e/6 with HDBaseT
Technology, Bi-directional IR, and Boost extends high denition video and audio signals,
IR, and power at a distance of up to 330ft/100m over a single Cat5e/6 cable. 4K2K
(2160p) resolution can be extended up to 262ft/80m over a single Cat5e/6 cable.
Features HDBaseT Technology that allows for greater transmission range compared
to standard HDMI extenders. Also features Boost Technology which allows HDBaseT
transmission over out of date HDMI cables, turn outdated 1.2 HDMI cables into 4K2K
capable cables! With only one cost effective Cat5e/6 cable, high denition sources with
HDMI outputs can be connected to high denition displays with HDMI inputs over long
distances. Deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP is supported and
compatible with the EVEX2330. In addition, EVEX2330 is also equipped with bi-directional
IR pass-through which allows for source or display control.
The EVEX2330 includes two units: transmitting unit (EVEX2330-TX) and receiving unit
(EVEX2330-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 EVEX2330 offers the most convenient solution for HDMI extension
over a single Cat5e/6 with long distance capability, and provides a solution to update out of
date HDMI cables.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM
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 330ft/100m to the HDBaseT output of the
Transmitting unit, and the other end to the HDBaseT input of the Receiving unit.
4. For Boost feature, connect a single HDMI cable to the HDMI ports on the Transmitting
and Receiving units. (HDMI ports for Boost transmission are located next to the
HDBaseT RJ45 jacks). HDBaseT over Cat5e/6 and Boost over HDMI transmission
cannot be utilized simultaneously.
5. For power, plug in the Transmitting and Receiving units with included DC 5V 2A power
supplies.
6. 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.

NOTICE
1. Vanco HDMI and Cat5e/6 cables are strongly recommended for use with this product
to ensure best results.
2. Incorrect placement of IR Blaster and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR
extenders. Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR
sockets.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat5e/6 cables utilized, the
type of HDMI sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP
cables (usually in the form of 300m [1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer
signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of xed length patch cords).
Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP Cat5e/6
cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long
extension applications, use solid UTP/STP category cables.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat5e/6 cables is recommended for better
performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat5e/6
cables, one can use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which worsens in
long cable transmission.
6. The quality of Cat5e/6 cables can have a major effect on how long the transmission
limit can achieve and quality of picture, the actual transmission range is subject to the
Cat5e/6 cable utilized. For the best results, Cat6 is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the rst HDMI input [HDMI
input #1] generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI
inputs.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same.
If resolutions differ, the extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of
the HDTV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution
on the other HDTV sets.
2. If you do not get audio and video, access the “setup” menu on the TV to adjust the audio
and video settings. If the HDMI control circuit cannot establish a handshake, then there
usually will be no audio or video in addition to a blue or black screen with a statement
similar to “this protocol not supported” or “weak signal”.
3. If the above mentioned messages display, reset the receiver by disconnecting the power
supply. You can also disconnect all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 15 minutes for
any voltages to decay and then reconnect all of the cables.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the “hot-plug concept. With all of the HDMI
cables disconnected, turn on the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it’s output,
then power up the Vanco unit and plug the HDMI cable into it’s input, nally turn on the
display and plug the HDMI cable from the receiver into it. This activates all of the devices
in corresponding order and results in a signal being plugged into a device that is on and
will attempt to connect the signal.
5. Most of the major source and display manufacturers employ a proprietary control
channel to communicate between devices from the same manufacturer. Sometimes this
can interfere with the HDMI control circuit or the authentication of the signal. Call the
manufacturer if you experience this issue. Sometimes a player, an audio/video receiver,
or a cable/satellite box may not have the latest software update, usually this can be
downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
6. If you have problems with the IR control circuit, make sure that the IR RX pigtail is
plugged into extender receiver and pointed at the display, and the IR TX pigtail is
attached to the extender sender and pointed at the source.
