Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 150m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60, IR, RS-232 & Audio HDBaseT KVM Receiver is designed for IT professionals and AV installers needing to extend high-resolution video, audio, USB 2.0, IR, and RS-232 signals over long distances using Cat.6 network cable. Its key benefit is reliable 4K@60Hz transmission up to 90m or 4K@30Hz up to 150m, coupled with PoC (Power over Cable) for simplified installation. A potential caveat is that maximum distances are dependent on the quality of Cat.6 cable used and may be reduced by additional network components.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

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

The receiver can extend HDMI signals up to 150 meters (492 ft) using Cat.6 cable, but this maximum distance is limited to resolutions of 4K@30Hz. For 4K@60Hz, the maximum distance is 90 meters (295 ft).

Does this receiver require its own power supply?

Yes, the receiver requires a power supply. However, it also supports PoC (Power over Cable), meaning if connected to a compatible HDBaseT transmitter that supports PoC, the receiver can be powered via the Cat.6 cable, and only one power adapter is needed for the entire system (typically at the transmitter end).

What type of network cable is recommended for optimal performance?

For the best performance and to achieve the maximum specified distances, a high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable is strongly recommended. Cat.5e may result in reduced distances or lower resolutions.

Can I use this receiver with older HDMI versions or lower resolutions?

Yes, this receiver is backward compatible and will support lower resolutions and older HDMI versions, though features like 4K@60Hz and HDR will not be available.

What USB devices can be connected?

This extender supports USB 2.0 devices, including keyboards, mice, webcams, and other peripherals. It is suitable for KVM functionality and data transfer.

What is the benefit of bi-directional IR control?

Bi-directional IR control allows you to control your source device (e.g., PC) from the display location using an IR remote, and conversely, control the display (e.g., projector on/off) from the source location. This provides greater flexibility in managing your AV setup.

Is RS-232 control supported?

Yes, the receiver supports RS-232 signal extension, allowing serial control devices to be connected and managed over the Cat.6 cable.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product comes with a 2-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

No video signal at the receiver

Verify all HDMI and Cat.6 cable connections are secure at both the transmitter and receiver. Ensure the Cat.6 cable is of good quality and within the specified distance limits for the desired resolution. Check that the compatible transmitter is powered on and the PoC function is correctly configured. Test with a different HDMI cable or display.

USB devices (keyboard/mouse) not working

Ensure USB devices are connected to the correct USB ports on both the transmitter (source connection) and receiver (remote control). Confirm USB 2.0 support for the connected device. Try reconnecting the USB devices or testing with a different USB peripheral.

Poor video quality or flickering

This is often due to cable quality or exceeding distance limitations. Use certified Cat.6 or higher U/UTP or F/UTP cable. Ensure the cable run is not subjected to excessive electromagnetic interference. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate if operating near the maximum distance limits.

IR or RS-232 control is not functioning

Confirm that IR emitters/receivers are correctly connected to the IR ports on both ends. Ensure the source and display devices support the IR or RS-232 commands being sent. Verify RS-232 settings (baud rate, data bits, parity) match on both ends and the connected devices.

Device is not powering on (no LED indicators)

Check the power adapter connection to the receiver and the power outlet. If using PoC, ensure the transmitter is receiving adequate power. Try using the power adapter directly with the receiver to rule out PoC issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends high-resolution 4K video and multiple signal types over long distances.
  • PoC functionality significantly reduces cabling complexity and installation time.
  • Supports HDR for improved visual quality.
  • Bi-directional IR and USB 2.0 support provide comprehensive control and connectivity.
  • Secure screw-type DC power connector prevents accidental disconnections.
  • Utilizes cost-effective Cat.6 cabling for transmission.

Cons

  • Maximum distance and resolution depend heavily on Cat.6 cable quality.
  • 150m distance is only achievable at 4K@30Hz; 4K@60Hz is limited to 90m.
  • Requires a compatible HDBaseT transmitter (sold separately).
  • Additional network infrastructure like wall plates or couplers can reduce transmission distance.
  • RS-232 functionality requires specific configuration knowledge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the HDMI output from your source device (e.g., PC, laptop) to the HDMI input on the compatible HDBaseT transmitter using an HDMI cable.
  2. Connect USB devices (keyboard, mouse) to the USB ports on the transmitter.
  3. Connect the Cat.6 network cable between the RJ-45 port on the transmitter and the RJ-45 port on this HDBaseT KVM Receiver.
  4. Connect the HDMI output from the Receiver to your display device using an HDMI cable.
  5. Connect USB devices for remote control to the USB ports on the Receiver.
  6. Connect the IR emitters/receivers to the respective IR ports on both the transmitter and receiver if bi-directional IR control is desired.
  7. Connect the power adapter to the Receiver's screw-type DC jack and plug it into a power outlet. Ensure the PoC switch is set correctly if applicable (refer to transmitter manual).
  8. If using PoC, ensure the transmitter receives power via the Cat.6 cable. If not using PoC, connect a separate power adapter to the transmitter.
