HDMI TECHNOLOGY The Old: Standard HDMI® devices transmit video and audio using a signaling method called TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling). TMDS was designed for short cable runs, like those necessary to connect a cable box to an HDTV in an entertainment center. Unfortunately, TMDS has some limitations. Very high frequency signals like HDMI tend to “roll off” as cable runs get longer.
HD Multimedia Product Series Before connecting the 2800 system, please make certain the following items are in the shipping cartons. Note: the 2801 and 2811 are sold separately. 2801 Transmitter x1 2811 Receiver x1 5V DC Power AdaptersR x1 User Manual x1 Product Specification Dedicated network. Resolution tracking.
GETTING THE BEST RESULTS Many factors influence the quality and reliability of an HDMI® signal distribution installation. The following are the main factors to consider, and basic precautions that will ensure the best possible performance. 1. Dedicated network. The 2800 Series is designed to operate on a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet network, not to be combined with other network traffic or with access to the internet. 2. Resolution tracking.
EXTENSION In extension applications, the transmitter may be connected directly to the receiver, for distances up to 250 ft. (75m), using Cat 6 cable. A GbE network switch can be added in the Cat 6 path to double that distance.
DISTRIBUTION USING MULTIPLE SOURCES The HD-IP system uses virtual LAN technology to distribute multiple SOURCE CH 2801 DIP 2811 DIPs source signals on the same network – a managed switch is not required. To use multiple sources on one network, each source Blu-ray Disc 1 1=ON 1=ON must have its own virtual LAN or “channel” as designated by DIP Satellite DVR 2 2=ON 2=ON Video Server 3 3=ON 3=ON Game Console 4 4=ON 4=ON switches on 2801 and 2811.
CONNECTING THE HARDWARE Transmitter (2801) Receiver (2811) 1. Determine DIP switch settings if appropriate ( Using Multiple Sources). 2. Connect the HDMI® source device’s output to the HDMI INPUT connector of the 2801 Transmitter, using a short, high quality, HDMI cable. 3. Connect a correctly terminated and tested Cat 5e/6 cable to the ETHERNET connector of the Transmitter. Do not connect the AC adapter until the UTP cables are correctly connected to both the transmitter and the receiver.
IR PASS THROUGH IR signals can be passed from the 2811 Receiver location(s) back to the 2801 Transmitter location (single Transmitter systems only) to control the source equipment. The HD-IP system may not be compatible with all IR equipment. Note: IR signals cannot be passed reliably when more than one 2801 Transmitter is used in a network. 1.

Poor image quality: Some sources, such as cable and satellite receivers, compress output resulting in poor image quality. Connect the source directly to a display via a short HDMI® cable to compare.
