INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX Series ST-C5HDA-600 CAT5 Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable the signals from one high-definition
(HD) video and digital (coax / SPDIF) audio source to be seen and heard through two high-definition televisions (HDTV) and
digital audio devices, one of each local and one of each remote. Possible digital video and audio sources include a DVD player,
cable television box, home entertainment system, etc.. Digital audio devices include a HDTV, Home Theater System, Digital
Audio Receiver, or Digital Speaker set, etc.. The remote HDTV and audio device can be located as much as 600 feet away from
the source via Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable. The local HDTV and audio device will be located near the source.
The XTENDEX Series ST-C5HDTV-600 CAT5 Extender is the same as the ST-C5HDA except that it is compatible with a stereo
line-level audio source and devices (HDTV Speakers, Home Theater or Stereo System, Stereo Amplifier, Headphones, Computer
Speakers, etc..) instead of a digital audio source and devices.
The XTENDEX Series Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.
Through the use of Category 5 cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of an entertainment system. Here are
some of the features and ways this can benefit the user:
•Allows the placement of a HDTV and audio devices in a location where only these parts are needed without having the
audio/video source there too, taking up valuable space
•Allows an audio/video source (DVD player, cable television box, stereo amplifier, home entertainment system, etc), to
be seen and heard by both a local and/or remote set of devices (up to 600 feet away)
•Compatible with component video
•Provides crisp and clear 1080i resolution up to 1920x1080 with a 30MHz bandwidth and 720p resolution up to 1280x720
with a 37 MHz bandwidth
•Video quality adjustment, for varying lengths of cable, is automatic providing optimum image quality
•Digital transmission of audio signals reduces any loss in quality
•HDTV connections are dedicated connectors for YPbPr
•Hot-plugging of all video and audio connections is supported
