The Gofanco HDMI IP Extender 1080p - 120m allows you to extend high-definition HDMI signals up to 120 meters using CAT5e/6 cabling. For optimal performance, ensure you use 100% copper wiring and follow the IEEE-568B standard. If using a network configuration, dedicated IGMP Gigabit Ethernet switches are recommended to ensure reliability.
Product Overview
The system consists of a Transmitter (TX) and a Receiver (RX). The Transmitter features an HDMI input, a local HDMI output for monitoring, an IR output, and an RJ45 output. The Receiver features an HDMI output, an IR input, and an RJ45 input. Both units include power jacks, reset buttons, and LED indicators for power, data, and link status.
Hardware Installation
One to One Configuration:
- Power off all devices.
- Connect the HDMI source to the Transmitter's HDMI Input.
- Optionally, connect a local display to the Transmitter's HDMI Out.
- Connect the IR Blaster Extension Cable to the Transmitter's IR output if remote control of the source is required.
- Connect the Transmitter's RJ45 Output to the Receiver's RJ45 Input using a CAT5e/6 cable.
- Connect the display to the Receiver's HDMI output.
- Connect the IR Receiver Extension Cable to the Receiver's IR input if needed.
- Connect the power adapters to both units and power on all devices.
Network Configuration
When connecting to an existing LAN, it is recommended to configure a dedicated VLAN to avoid traffic collisions. The default IP addresses are 192.168.1.210 (Transmitter) and 192.168.1.220 (Receiver). If the network is DHCP enabled, IP addresses will be assigned automatically. If not, you may need to manually configure the network or press the reset button on the units.
Device ID & IR Control
The system supports IR remote control to manage source devices from a distance. Use the included remote control to set the TX ID on the transmitter and the TX Connected ID on the receiver to ensure proper device pairing. You can also use the push buttons on the units to change the Device ID and Connection ID.
Computer Control
The HDbitT E-Matrix Control application (Windows only) allows for advanced management. Download the software from www.hdbitt.com/download-matrix. Ensure your computer is on the same subnet as the TX/RX units to establish a connection.
Troubleshooting
If the extender is not working, press the reset button on both units. If the TV displays "Waiting for connection," verify that both units are powered on and that the Receiver's TX Connected ID matches the Transmitter's TX ID. If the TV displays "Please check the transmitter input signal," verify the HDMI source and cable connections. For unstable displays, ensure your network switch/router is IGMP compliant.

Practical help
Common problems
TV displays 'Waiting for connection'
Check that both transmitter and receiver are powered on. Ensure the Receiver's TX Connected ID matches the Transmitter's TX ID and that all TX IDs are unique.
TV displays 'Please check the transmitter input signal'
Check the HDMI source signal input. Connect the source directly to the display to verify the signal. Check or replace the HDMI cable.
Remote display is not stable
Ensure the network switch/router and LAN are IGMP compliant and functioning correctly.
