5. Instruccions de configuració
Follow these steps to set up your OREI EX-170C HDMI Extender:
- Connect HDMI Source to Transmitter: Use an HDMI cable to connect your HDMI source device (e.g., DVD player, PC, game console) to the Entrada HDMI port on the Transmitter (TX) unit.
- (Optional) Connect Local Display: If you wish to monitor the source signal locally, connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI Out (Loop-Out) port on the TX unit to a local display.
- Connect Remote Display to Receiver: Use an HDMI cable to connect your remote display (e.g., TV, projector) to the Sortida HDMI port on the Receiver (RX) unit.
- Connecteu el cable Ethernet: Connect a single CAT5e/6/7 Ethernet cable between the CAT5/6/7 Out port on the TX unit and the CAT5/6/7 In port on the RX unit. Ensure the cable is properly terminated and within the recommended length (up to 164 feet).
- Connect IR Cables:
- Plug the IR Blaster cable into the Sortida IR port on the TX unit and position the IR emitter eye near the IR sensor of your HDMI source device.
- Plug the IR Receiver cable into the IR In port on the RX unit and position the IR receiver eye where your remote control will be used.
- Aplicar potència: Connect one of the provided 5V DC power adapters to the DC5V port on the Transmitter (TX) unit. Due to Power over Cable (PoC) functionality, only the TX unit requires power, and it will power the RX unit through the Ethernet cable.
- Dispositius d'encesa: Power on your HDMI source device and all connected displays. The extender should automatically establish the connection.

6. Funcionament
6.1 Funcionament bàsic
Once all connections are made and power is applied, the extender will automatically detect the HDMI signal and transmit it to the remote display. Ensure both the source and display devices are powered on and set to the correct HDMI input.
6.2 EDID Management (Transmitter Unit)
The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) switch on the transmitter unit allows you to manage the display's capabilities reported to the source device. This can be useful in resolving compatibility issues or ensuring the desired resolution is outputted. Refer to the specific EDID settings in the full PDF manual if you encounter display issues.
6.3 EQ Adjustment (Receiver Unit)
The EQ (Equalization) switch on the receiver unit is used to compensate for signal degradation over long Ethernet cable runs. If you experience flickering, signal loss, or poor picture quality, adjust the EQ switch to optimize the signal. Start with the lowest setting and gradually increase it until a stable and clear picture is achieved.
6.4 Control IR
The IR pass-through feature allows you to control your HDMI source device from the remote display location. Point your source device's remote control at the IR Receiver eye connected to the RX unit. The signal will be transmitted back to the IR Blaster connected to the TX unit, which will then relay the command to your source device.
