Lumagen HDMI-CAT6 Extender - Manual (Page 4)

Setup Tips and Trouble Shooting:
- When installing new CAT cable, always install CAT6 FTP cables
(i.e. shielded), or better, for use with HDMI-CAT extenders.
- Avoid bundling the high-frequency video cables with LAN and
other digital cables. Using CAT6 FTP cables reduces the potential
for crosstalk between cables.
- Cable type, source-device clock-jitter, sink-device jitter-sensitivity,
intra-cable crosstalk, inter-cable crosstalk, cable bundling, and
ground loops, determine, and limit, maximum reliable cable length.
- The Transmitter’s input equalization switch is set based on the
length of its input HDMI cable. The Receiver’s input equalization
switch is set based on the length of its input CAT cable.
- If the system is properly connected with quality cables of an
appropriate length, and equipment is turned on, if no video is seen,
the likely cause is either the transmitter or receiver Input-EQ is not
properly set for the given cable type and cable length.
- HDMI audio is more sensitive to cable jitter than video. So, the
maximum cable length may be reduced if audio is being used.
Specifications:
- Maximum pixel clock rate: 300 MHz (3 GHz bit rate per channel),
which support up to 1080p120, or 1080p60 with 16-bit 4:4:4
- Maximum video rate using CAT6 STP cable, or for the transmitter
input using 24 AWG HDMI cable, for ideal conditions is:
For 1080p60 with 12-bit 4:2:2, or 8-bit 4:4:4: 30 meters
For 1080p75 with 12-bit 4:2:2, or 8-bit 4:4:4: 25 meters
For 1080p120 with 12-bit 4:2:2, or 8-bit 4:4:4: TBD
- Maximum total source to sink cable length (HDMI, CAT, HDMI)
using for nominal conditions is 62 meters at 1080p60 12-bit 4:2:2,
or 8-bit 4:4:4 video, using 30m of HDMI 1.3 and 30m of CAT6
FTP, under nominal conditions.
- Maximum distance may be reduced if audio is used since HDMI
audio is more sensitive to cable induced jitter than video
- Supports all HDMI 1.4 3D formats and the HDMI 1.4 Audio-
Return-Channel (ARC).
- Power: Transmitter = 2.5 Watts, Receiver = 2.5 Watts
