Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum distance this receiver can extend HDMI signals?

This receiver can extend HDMI signals up to 100 meters using a high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP network cable for resolutions up to 1920x1080@60Hz. For 3840x2160@60Hz (4K), the maximum distance is 70 meters.

Does this receiver come with a transmitter?

No, this product is a receiver unit. It requires a compatible Lindy HDBaseT transmitter (sold separately) to function as an extension system.

Can I power the receiver remotely?

Yes, this receiver supports Power over Cable (PoC). When used with a compatible transmitter, power can be supplied through the Cat.6 network cable, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter at the receiver's location.

What resolutions does this receiver support?

It supports resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for 8-bit color, or 4:2:2 12-bit color. It also supports HDR (High Dynamic Range).

What is DSC compression and why is it important?

DSC (Display Stream Compression) is a visually lossless compression technology used to achieve higher bandwidth resolutions like 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 over HDBaseT. This receiver uses DSC for 18G resolutions. It's crucial that any other HDBaseT devices used in the same setup also support the same DSC compression method to ensure signal compatibility.

Can I control my source device from the display location?

Yes, the receiver features bi-directional IR and RS-232 ports. This allows you to send control signals from the display end back to the source equipment, and vice-versa, facilitating integrated control solutions.

What type of audio formats does it support?

It supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) for sending audio from the display back to an amplifier or soundbar. It also allows for local audio extraction for multi-channel audio setups and digital audio embedding at the receiver.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal received.

Verify that both the transmitter and receiver units are powered on. Ensure the Cat.6 cable is securely connected at both ends and is of good quality. Confirm that a compatible HDBaseT transmitter is used. Check that the HDMI sources and displays are functioning correctly.

Video quality is poor or intermittent.

Check the Cat.6 cable for damage and ensure it meets the specifications required for the resolution. Longer cable runs, especially for 4K, may require higher quality Cat.6a or Cat.7 cables. Avoid introducing too many connections or passive components (like wall plates or couplers) in the cable run.

PoC (Power over Cable) is not working.

Ensure that the PoC feature is supported and enabled on both the transmitter and receiver units. Verify that only one power adapter is connected (typically to the transmitter when PoC is active). Check the Cat.6 cable for continuity and integrity.

IR or RS-232 control is not functioning.

Confirm that the IR emitters/receivers and RS-232 devices are correctly wired and connected to the appropriate bi-directional ports on both the transmitter and receiver. Ensure the control system sending commands is compatible with the connected devices and their respective protocols.

DSC compression related issues with 18G signals.

Ensure that the HDBaseT transmitter and any other HDBaseT devices used in conjunction with this receiver fully support the DSC compression method for 18Gbps resolutions. Incompatibility can lead to signal loss or artifacts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends 4K60 signals up to 100m over Cat.6 cable.
  • Supports HDR for enhanced image quality.
  • PoC functionality simplifies installation by reducing power cables.
  • Includes bi-directional IR and RS-232 for comprehensive control.
  • Provides ARC and local audio extraction for flexible audio setups.
  • Secure power connection suitable for professional installations.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible HDBaseT transmitter.
  • Uses DSC compression for 18G resolutions, demanding compatibility with other HDBaseT devices.
  • Maximum distance reduces at higher resolutions (e.g., 70m for 4K60 4:4:4).
  • Not ideal for installations using anything other than direct Cat.6 cabling without intermediate devices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the Lindy HDBaseT Transmitter (sold separately) to your HDMI source device.
  2. Connect the Lindy HDBaseT Receiver to your display device.
  3. Using a high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP network cable, connect the network port on the transmitter to the network port on the receiver. Ensure the cable does not exceed the specified maximum length for your desired resolution (100m for 1080p, 70m for 4K).
  4. Connect the power adapter to the secure screw-type DC jack on the receiver unit and plug it into a power outlet (if PoC is not utilized from the transmitter).
  5. Connect IR and RS-232 devices as needed to the respective ports on both the transmitter and receiver units for control and integration.
  6. Ensure both the source and display devices are powered on.

Compatibility:

  • Transmitter: Requires a compatible Lindy HDBaseT transmitter (e.g., model 38341).
  • Cable: Supports Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable. Performance may be reduced with other cable types or if using wall plates, couplers, or patch panels.
  • HDCP: Supports HDCP 2.2.
  • Resolution: Supports up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit or 4:2:2 12bit. Note that 18G resolutions utilize DSC compression; ensure any combined HDBaseT products support the same compression type.
  • Control: Compatible with CEC control and provides bi-directional IR and RS-232 pass-through.

Care:

  • Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.
  • Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
  • Periodically check cable connections for security.
