INTRODUCTION:
Atlona Technologies AT-HD-BIR40SR HDMITM v1.3 Extender with Bi-directional IR boosts your audio/video
transmission distance up to 200ft (60m) in HDTV 1080i format, 130ft (40m) in HDTV 1080p format, and 65ft (20m)
in HDTV 1080p with 36 bit color depth. With two cost effective solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable, users can readily
extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources compliant
with TMDS to distant display monitors including HDMITM or DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. The AT-HD-
BIR40SR also features with embedded IR input and output on both sender and receiver units so users can control
the source device or HDMITM display at romote site via IR remote in di-directional IR pass-through.
The AT-HD-BIR40SR includes two units: Sender unit and Receiver unit. The Sender unit sends the HDMITM or DVI
signals received from the source device and receives IR signals from the Receiver unit or sends the received IR
signal from the Sender unit via two low cost Cat-5/5e/6 cables. The Receiver unit is responsible for equalizing the
audio/video data received from the sender unit and sends the IR signals received from the IR receiver to the Sender
unit or receives IR signals from the sender unit . The transmission distance between the audio/video source and the
display can be up to 60m / 200ft under HD resolution (720p/1080i), or 40m / 130ft under Full HD resolution (1080p).
With 8-level digital signal equalization control on the receiver unit, users can adjust the signal level equalization scale
to the received audio/video signals, and therefore optimize the transmission distance between source and display.
FEATURES:
• HDMITM 1.3c and HDCP compliant
• Extends the transmission length up to 200ft (60m) from the HDMITM sources under HD resolution (1080i or 720p at
24-bit color depth)
• Extends the transmission length up to 130ft (40m) from the HDMITM sources under Full HD resolution (1080p at 24-
bit color depth)
• Extends the transmission length up to 65ft (20m) from the HDMITM sources under Full HD resolution (1080p at 36-
bit color depth)
• Minimizes the cable skew by adjustable 8-level equalization rotary control
• Supports half-duplex bi-directional IR pass-through
• Supports full frequency of IR signals from 20kHz to 60kHz
• Purely unaltered uncompressed 7.1ch digital HDMITM over CAT5/6 cable transmission
• Wall mounting housing design for easy and robust installation
The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and longer transmission
distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance.

INSTALLATION:
1. Connect a HDMITM or DVI source (e.g., a Blu-ray Disc player) to the Transmitting Module.
2. Connect a HDMITM or DVI display (e.g., a HDTV) to the Receiving Module.
3. Connect two solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable between the Transmitting and Receiving Modules.
4. Make sure these two solid Cat-5/5e/6 UTP/STP cable are tightly connected and not loose.
5. If you want to control the source devices at display side, plug in the IR blaster to the Transmitting Module and the
IR receiver to the Receiver Unit. If you want to control the display at source side, plug in the IR receiver to the
Transmitting Module and the IR blaster to the Receiving Module.
6. Plug in the 5V DC power supply unit to the latch-locking power jack on either the Sender Unit or the Receiver Unit.
7. If you see flickering or blinking image on the display, adjust the rotary control switch to improve the cable skew.
MAX stands for the strongest HDMITM signal level for longest possible transmission length while MIN stands for
the weakest HDMITM signal level for short transmission length. Try adjusting the signal level from MIN to MAX to
find the optimal setting for the HDMITM over CAT5 transmission.

NOTICE:
1. When adjusting the signal level on the receiver unit, please dial the rotary control switch from MIN to MAX and
stop turning the rotary switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally. Inappropriate signal level setting may
cause overpowering issue that would shorten the product life significantly!
2. If the DVI or HDMITM device requires the EDID information, please use AT-DVISync EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve
and provide DVI or HDMITM display EDID information.
3. All HDMITM over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP cable and
ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
4. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMITM sources, and
the type of HDMITM display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m [1,000ft] bulk
cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of fixed length patch
cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP Cat-5e cable shows
longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long extension applications, solid UTP/STP cables
are the only viable choice.
5. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended.
6. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can use double
shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
7. Because the quality of the category cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit can achieve
and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one's choice of Cat-5/5e/6
cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6 cable is recommended.
8. If your HDMITM display has multiple HDMITM inputs, it is found that the first HDMITM input [HDMITM input 1] generally
can produce better transmission performance among all HDMITM inputs.
