4.0 INSTALLATION

• Before installing the HCX-11 Extender, connect the HDMI source directly to the

display using a short, high quality HDMI cable. This precaution is to verify that

the display is compatible with the source, and that the source is producing a

resolution that the display can accept.

• Using Internal Power Mode: The receiver may be powered through a fifth

coaxial cable from the transmitter, with no power supply connected to the

receiver. Internal power mode (shown below) may be used up to 150 feet, and

often much farther depending on the type and quality of coaxial cable.

• Using External Power Mode: External power requires only four coaxial cables

and power supplies for both units (not shown).

5.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE

• Turn off the HDMI video source and the HDTV display.

• Connect the source to the transmitter with a high quality HDMI cable no longer

than nine feet for 36 bit signals, or 18 feet for 24 bit signals (see page 4 and 5).

• Install and terminate five, identical length, RG-6 or RG-59 cables (install four

cables if using external power). Mark all coaxial cables on both ends before

installation to avoid hookup mistakes.
