1.4 Introduction  
The Avenview HDM-C5-3X-SET, HDMI 1.3a Extender with 3D over Single CAT5 / CAT6 boosts up your  
video/audio transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV 1080i format, 40m (130ft) in HDTV 1080p  
format, and 20m (65ft) in HDTV 1080p with 36-bit color depth. HDM-C5-3X-SET also supports the most  
advanced 3D video format complaint with HDMI 1.4 specification and therefore guarantees the highest 3D  
video compatibility on the market. With only one cost effective Cat.5/5e/6 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 HDMI or DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. With the  
advanced design for the latest HDMI technology, deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP  
supports and compatibility are all further insured. This flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3  
transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating  
several components apart  
The HDM-C5-3X-SET consists of Transmitter (HDM-C5-3X-S) and Receiver (HDM-C5-3X-R). The Transmitter  
(HDM-C5-3X-S) captures the input HDMI/DVI signals and carry the signals through one RJ-45 connector into  
one cost effective CAT-5/5e/6 LAN cable. The Receiver (HDM-C5-3X-R) equalizes the sent TMDS multimedia  
data. The transmission distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 60m (200ft) under HD  
(720p/1080i) or 40m (130ft) under Full HD (1080p). With an 8-level equalization control knob on the receiving  
unit, users can adjust the equalization strength to the received TMDS signals accordingly, and therefore  
optimize the transmission distance between source and destination.

Adjust the 8-level equalization control to the received HDMI signals. The HDMI signal level varies from 0  
(strongest) to 7 (weakest) for respective transmission length from longest possible range to short  
distance. Please adjust the signal level from 7 to 0 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!  
If a flickering or a blinking image is seen, try to adjust the rotational switch to improve the cable  
skew. 0 stands for the strongest EQ while 7 stands for the weakest. Try adjusting the EQ from 7 to 0
