Equalizer is a built in electronic device used to fine tune picture quality. Please turn knob anticlockwise from 7 to 0 to get the optimal vision. If you find the display is not showing properly, please check your cable connection or it is out transmission limit. What is the minimum requirement of Cat-X cable Minimum cable requirement is Category 5 cable for HDSpider™ series products. Please ensure all cables are terminated with RJ-45 plug according to EIA/TIA568B definition. What kind of Cat-X cable is recommended? We recommend using Category 6 or 7 STP cable for best picture quality at maximum extension. For better result please use cable with minimum delay skew. Yes. To extend HDMI signal above specification I want extension above specification, is published please use high quality HDMI cable (24 that possible? gauges) and recommended Cat-X cable. On field test, it is possible using CAT.6 cable for 50m transmission under 1080p. If further extension is required, please set HDMI source at 480p resolution. I am using HVE-9900 to receive HDMI signal, but there is no image on monitor. HVE-9900 is only intended to use for shorter transmission length. The maximum transmission length is at 15m under 1080p or 25m under 720p/1080i resolution. If your application exceeds this transmission limit, please use HDSpider™ HDMI Cat.5 Receiver (Long) (HVE-9000) instead. There is no image on display, what could be the problem? First please check all cable is properly installed. Secondly check display source is functioning correctly. It is still not working. If problem persist, please try the EDID learning function on HVE-9001 and HVE-9002 (stated on p.4-5). 13 Specifications Model Name Package Contents HVE-9000 1x HVE-9000 1x 5V transformer 1x User Manual HVE-9001 1x HVE-9001 1x 5V transformer 1x User Manual HVE-9900 1x HVE-9900 1x User Manual Video Bandwidth 1.65Gbps Resolution 480i – 1080p Transmission Length 60m under HD (720p/1080i) or 40m under Full HD (1080p) Audio channel 7.1-channel or stereo Supported signal HDMI 1.2 & DVI 1.1 Input 1x RJ-45 1x HDMI 1x RJ-45 Output 1x HDMI 1x RJ-45 1x HDMI Power 5V 2A DC 5V 2A DC None HDMI Connector 19-pin female 19-pin female 19-pin female RJ-45 Connector 2 indication LEDs 2 indication LEDs 2 indication LEDs Housing Metal Metal Plastic Dimensions (L x W x H) 87 x 60 x 25 (mm) 87 x 60 x 25 (mm) 45 x 25 x 20 (mm) Weight 160g 160g 25g Model Name Package Contents HVE-9002 1x HVE-9002 1x 5V transformer 1 x User Manual HVE-9003 1x HVE-9003 1x 5V transformer 1 x User Manual Video Bandwidth 1.65Gbps Resolution 480i – 1080p Transmission Length 60m under HD (720p/1080i) or 40m under Full HD (1080p) Audio channel 7.1-channel or stereo Supported signal HDMI 1.2 & DVI 1.1 Input 1x HDMI 1x RJ-45 Output 1x HDMI (display or cascading) 1x RJ-45 1x 3.5mm audio socket 1x HDMI (display or cascading) 1x RJ-45 (cascadable) 1x 3.5mm audio socket Power 5V 4A DC 5V 4A DC HDMI Connector 19-pin female 19-pin female RJ-45 Connector 2 indication LEDs 2 indication LEDs Housing Metal Metal Dimensions (L x W x H) 180 x 108 x 27 (mm) 180 x 108 x 27 (mm) Net Weight 430g 430g *Specification subject to change without notice 14 Notice 1. Please read user manual carefully before operating the device. 2. Please use the power adaptor accompanied with this product. Warranty does not cover for damages caused by pairing other power adaptor. 3. Please check all connecting devices are properly grounded to avoid electric failure. 4. This product has limited warranty for one year from defects in material and workmanship. Items that are physically damaged, misused, tempered with or altered are void of warranty. For further details please contact your distributor. In case warranty sticker is damaged or missing, warranty is void. For further details please contact your distributor. 5. If your HDMI (DVI) device requires an EDID present, you can use an EDID Reader/Writer to provide HDMI (DVI) EDID information. 6. All of the transmission distances are measured by using Belden Cat.5e 125MHz cables and PlayStation3 as the HDMI source. 7. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat.5/5e/6 cable, you can use shielded Cat.5/5e/6 cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in the long transmission. 8. Because the quality of the Cat.5/5e/6 cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance and how good the picture quality may be, the actual transmission length is subject to your Cat.5/5e/6 cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat.6 cable is recommended. V1 15
