Information Sheet

Firmly connect an HDMI source device (such as Blu-Ray,
games console, satellite/cable, media server, splitter or matrix
etc.) to the HDMI IN of the TX-SDI-50 transmitter.
Connect a good quality, well terminated copper-core
75Ohm WF100 coax cable of no more than 50m/164ft in length
between either of the synchronous SDI OUT ports on the TX-
SDI-50 to the SDI IN port of the RX-SDI-50 Receiver.
NOTE: If using both SDI OUT ports of the TX-SDI-50, an
RX-SDI-50 receiver must be used for each output.
50m/164ft is the maximum recommended
transmission distance for this model and denotes perfect
transmission conditions*
Firmly connect the HDMI sink (LCD/LED display/projector)
to the HDMI OUT of the RX-SDI-50 receiver.
NOTE: We strongly recommend using the supplied
mounting brackets to secure both transmitter and
receiver. Any sudden movement of devices can lead to
loss of picture/sound if connections become loose or
strained, resulting in unnecessary service call-backs.
If daisy-chaining receivers , connect another coax cable of
no more than 50m/164ft in length from the SDI OUT port of the
RX-SDI-50 receiver to the SDI IN of another RX-SDI-50 receiver
unit to enable signal pass-through.
NOTE: EX-SDI-50 receivers can be cascaded up to 7
times along a single output.
Connect the 5V DC power supplies included to both
TX-SDI-50 and RX-SDI-50 and power on source, transmitter,
receiver and display.
Ensure the POWER and STATUS indicators are lit on both
transmitter and all receivers used to confirm all units are
powered and a signal is being passed between them.
If you fail to receive a signal, check LED indicators
are lit before checking power supplies and correct cable
connection and operation for all devices.
IR/Serial Control
For control of the source from display zone, connect the
IRTX emitter from the TX-SDI-50 transmitter to the infrared
receiver window of the source using the adhesive backing - you
may need to adjust the position of the emitter eye on the source
for best results.
HINT: You can locate the IR sensor of devices by shining a
flashlight onto the front of the device - the sensor should
be a small round diode located behind the fascia. If in
doubt, please consult the device manufacturer handbook.
At the display zone, connect the IRRX receiver cable from
the RX-SDI-50 receiver to the display, ensuring clear line of
IR sight with he remote handset used to control and pressing
down firmly to secure attachment.
For bidirectional IR, attach an IRTX emitter from the
Receiver to the IR window on the display device and position an
IRRX at the source.
If using an RS232-based control system, connect an IR
Integration Cable (CAB-IR-LINK) from the IR RX port of the TX-
SDI-50 transmitter to your control system and insert cables into
the RS232 ports to enable serial control.

*NOTE: All cable distances are on the basis of straight cable runs with no electrical interference, bends, kinks and joins etc. using good quality copper-core
75Ohm WF100 coax cable. If any of the above is a factor in your installation, transmission range and quality may be aected.

Coaxial Wiring Guide
The quality of termination for every BNC
is essential. Poor terminations leads to intermittent performance and longer install times.
