Preparing Your Site
1. Determine where the local video source (i.e. computer, Blu-ray Player) will be
located and set up the device.
2. Determine where the remote display will be located and place/ mount the display
appropriately.
NOTE: This HDMI extender kit features Power over cable, allowing both the Transmitter
and Receiver to be powered from the HDMI video source. No power adapter is required.
Hardware Installation
1. Install Transmitter Unit
a) Position the Transmitter Unit near the video source (i.e. Computer, Blu-ray Player).
b) Connect an HDMI® cable from the video source device (i.e. computer, Blu-ray
Player) to the “HDMI® IN” on the Transmitter Unit.
c) (Optional) If using the ST121SHD30 to extend an infrared (IR) device signal.
Connect the IR Receiver Cable to the IR Channel on the Transmitter Unit, and
Position the extended IR sensor directly in front of the video source’s IR sensor.
Check the manual of your video source device for the IR sensor location.
2. Install RJ45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet Cables
a) Connect an RJ45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable (not included) to the LINK
OUT A (RJ-45 connector) on the Transmitter unit.
b) Connect another RJ45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable (not included) to the
LINK OUT B (RJ-45 connector) on the Transmitter unit.
NOTE: If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5e
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Host Unit to the
Remote Unit’s location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ45 connector. The
cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
OR
If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling between the Host Unit and the Remote Unit has been
properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long
enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit to their respective outlets.
The cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
c) Connect the other end of the Cat5e/6 cable (from LINK OUT A) to the LINK IN A
(RJ-45 connector) on the Receiver Unit.
d) Connect the other end of the Cat5e/6 cable (from LINK OUT B) to the LINK IN B
(RJ-45 connector) on the Receiver Unit.
NOTE: If using Cat6 cables, extension distance is limited to 40m (130 ft)
