INTRODUCTION

The SP-5018M 2x8 HDMI Splitter over Cat.X provides the most flexible solution by which the high

definition video and high quality audio can be transmitted to different locations over a long distance. The

devices are cascadable, allowing you to extend HDMI compliant displays almost anywhere. Installed with

a 2x1 HDMI compliant switch, one of the input HDMI sources can be duplicated and distributed to up to 8

HDMI enable displays through cost effective Cat-5/5e cables and RJ45 to HDMI mini-extenders

(CV-715s). With the built in equalization, the input HDMI cable can be extended up to 20 meters (66 feet)

long under Full HD, and make the overall transmission distance superior than regular HDMI splitters or

matrix switches in the market.

EDID LEARNING

1. The EDID learning function is only available for HDMI source device connected at HDMI INPUT 1 port.

2. To make the SP-5018M learn the EDID of the desired display, please connect the display to the HDMI

INPUT 1 port via a HDMI cable.

3. Set the DIP switch position pin-1 at ON [].

4. Reboot the SP-5018M and you should see the red LED of the INPUT 1 on the front panel will keep

blinking to indicate the EDID learning sequence is underway. The EDID learning sequence is

complete when the INPUT 1 LED stops blinking.

5. Resume the installation. Connect the sources back to HDMI inputs and let the displays connect to

the receiver units via Cat-5e/6/7 cable.

6. Set the DIP switch pin-1 at OFF [] will erase the EDID profile learned from the display and restore

the default EDID profile. So please do not dial the pin-1 back to OFF [] unless you want to use

default EDID profile or learn new EDID from different HDMI display.

2If the HDTV shows video but without audio, please try to set audio mode to stereo.

3Factory default setting is pin-1 at OFF []& pin-2 at OFF []for 1080p video and surround sound

audio.

4If you encounter any unsolved audio/video output problem during system installation, please turn

to pin-1 at OFF []& pin-2 at ON []for safe mode to enforce the system output up to 1080p

video and stereo audio for system check. However, the safe mode cannot be initiated if your HDMI

source is set to enforce 1080p output. In this case, please reconfigure your HDMI source to all

resolution output for troubleshooting.

5Bypass means the matrix will maintain playing the original format of HDMI signals in video and

perhaps audio. By setting at this mode, the users may encounter compatibility issue among

different kinds of HDMI sources and displays. If you cannot get the audio and/or video output

normally at the system installation, please change the DIP switch setting to default mode or even

safe mode to verify the functionality of the device.

NOTICE

1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve

and provide DVI or HDMI display EDID information.

2. All HDMI over Cat.X transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP

cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.

3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMI sources,

and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 330m

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.

4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for category cables is recommended.

5. 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.

6. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 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.

7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the first HDMI input [HDMI input 1]

generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
