The PureLink PT-E-HD50 is an HDMI Extender designed to transmit HDMI video and audio signals over a single Cat.X cable, leveraging HDBaseT technology. This device also incorporates support for RS232, bi-directional IR, Ethernet, and Power over Cable (POC), making it a versatile solution for extending various signals over long distances.
The primary function of the PT-E-HD50 is to extend HDMI signals, including Deep Color, full 3D, and 4K2K@30 (via HDBaseT technology), over a single Cat.5/5e/6 cable. It consists of two units: a transmitting unit (PT-E-HD50-TX) and a receiving unit (PT-E-HD50-RX). The TX unit captures input HDMI/DVI signals along with IR control packets, while the RX unit equalizes the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructs IR and serial control signals. This allows for the extension of HDTV sources like DVD players, Blu-ray Disc players, PS3, and PCs to distant display monitors, including HDMI or DVI-enabled TVs and LCD PC monitors.
Beyond HDMI extension, the PT-E-HD50 integrates several other functionalities:
The PT-E-HD50 is designed to ensure high-quality video and audio transmission, supporting DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD high bit rate audio. It also includes HDCP and EDID bypass, ensuring compatibility with various HDMI sources and displays. The auto equalization feature helps maintain signal integrity over long cable runs.
The PT-E-HD50 is designed for ease of use and robust installation, making it suitable for digital signage, home theater, and professional AV installations.
The PT-E-HD50 incorporates a specialized software called "HDBaseT Manager" to assist with monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and stability.
HDBaseT Manager Software: This software is designed to detect and investigate potential problems in the connecting environment, particularly concerning the Valens chip inside the device. It offers four key services:
Connection Status Indicators: The HDBaseT Manager provides visual cues (green, yellow, or red lights) to indicate the quality of the connection status, making it easy to identify good or poor signal conditions.
Cable Recommendations: To avoid EMI issues and ensure optimal performance, the use of complete STP Cat6 cable is strongly recommended. For resolutions greater than 1080p, a Cat-6 cable is specifically advised. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is also recommended for better performance.
Troubleshooting Support: The software provides detailed information on various connection parameters like HPD, Cable Length, Video BER, and MAXERR, which are crucial for diagnosing and resolving connectivity issues.
General Care: As with all electronic equipment, the PT-E-HD50 should be handled with care. Users are advised to follow all instructions and warnings, ensure proper ventilation, avoid servicing the unit themselves (unless explicitly explained in the manual), and use only the provided power adapter and cables. Cleaning should be done with liquid or aerosol cleaners only after unplugging the device.
