Cable Electronics CELABS HSW88C - Manual (Page 2)

SAFETEY NOTICE
1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use
EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide DVI/HDMI EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden
1583A 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 display. The testing
result shows solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable 300m/1000ft form)
can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (usually in
patch cord form). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded
UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows longer transmission length
than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid LAN
cables are your only choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for
better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires
in LAN cable, you can use shielded LAN cables to reduce EMI problems,
which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the LAN cables has major effects in transmission
distance, always use high quality cables. For resolution greater than 1080i
or 1280x1024, a CAT6 solid wire 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.
8. The HSMR has been tested extensively and found that it doesn’t
require external power supply. If in rare situation you find it cannot work
with the HSW88C, please use a +5V power adapter to plug in the
power jack and try again. If not, please contact your technical
support for further service.
9. Additional IR remote controls and IR blaster cables can be purchased
as optional accessories to control the HDMI sources located separately.
