1. Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the MT-VIKI HDMI Extender (Model MT-ED01S). This device is designed to extend 1080p HDMI signals up to 50 meters (164 feet) over a single Cat6 or Cat7 Ethernet cable. It supports Full HD resolution at 60Hz, EDID learning, and Power over Cable (POC) functionality, allowing for flexible installation in various environments.
2. Product Overview
The MT-VIKI HDMI Extender consists of a transmitter (TX) unit and a receiver (RX) unit. These units work in conjunction to transmit uncompressed HDMI audio and video signals over long distances using standard Ethernet cabling.

Key Features:
- 50m Extension: Extends 1080p@60Hz HDMI signals up to 50 meters (164 feet) using Cat6 or higher network cables.
- POC Power Supply: Supports single-sided Power over Cable, meaning only one unit (either transmitter or receiver) requires external power via a USB-C cable.
- EDID Function: Ensures optimal picture quality by automatically detecting and adjusting display settings.
- Plug and Play: Easy installation without the need for additional drivers or software.
- Wide Compatibility: Compatible with most HDMI devices, including TVs, projectors, Blu-ray players, and game consoles.
- ESD Protection: Built-in electrostatic discharge protection for enhanced safety and stability.

4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to set up your MT-VIKI HDMI Extender:
- Connect the Transmitter (TX): Plug the HDMI input of the transmitter unit into the HDMI output port of your source device (e.g., PC, laptop, DVD player).
- Connect the Receiver (RX): Plug the HDMI output of the receiver unit into the HDMI input port of your display device (e.g., monitor, TV, projector).
- Connect Ethernet Cable: Connect a single Cat6 or Cat7 Ethernet cable between the RJ45 ports of the transmitter and receiver units. Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both units.
- Power the Extender: Connect the provided USB-C power cable to either the transmitter or the receiver unit, and then connect the USB-A end to a power source (e.g., USB port on your device, USB wall adapter). The blue LED indicator on the powered unit will light up.
- Verify Connection: Once all connections are made and power is supplied, the blue LED indicator on both the transmitter and receiver should light up, indicating a successful connection. Your display should now show the signal from the source device.

| Status | TX Indicator | RX Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| TX powered, RX not | Blue light on | Off |
| RX powered, TX not | Off | Blue light on |
| Connection successful | Blue light on | Blue light on |
| Read EDID | Blue light flashing fast | N/A |
| Recover EDID | Blue light flashing slowly | N/A |
6. EDID Function
The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) function allows the extender to learn and store the optimal display settings from your monitor, projector, or TV. This helps resolve compatibility issues with non-standard HDMI interfaces or displays.
Steps to Learn EDID:
- Connect the transmitter (TX) to the monitor or display you wish to learn EDID from, and ensure both are powered on.
- Press and hold the function button on the transmitter for more than 3 seconds. The blue light will flash and then stop, indicating that the new EDID has been learned and stored by the transmitter.
Steps to Restore Default EDID:
- First, power on the transmitter without any HDMI input connected.
- Press and hold the function button on the transmitter for more than 3 seconds. The blue indicator light will flash slowly.
- Release the button once the indicator light stops flashing, then unplug the power cord. The default EDID (3DTV) will be restored.
7. POC Power Supply
The MT-VIKI HDMI Extender supports Power over Cable (POC), which simplifies installation by requiring only one power adapter for either the transmitter or the receiver unit. Power is transmitted through the Ethernet cable to the other unit.
- If the transmitter (TX) is connected to the power supply, the receiver (RX) does not need to be connected to a power supply.
- If the receiver (RX) is connected to the power supply, the transmitter (TX) does not need to be connected to a power supply.
Use the provided USB-C power cable for optimal performance.

9. Troubleshooting
- No Signal on Display:
- Ensure all HDMI and Ethernet cables are securely connected.
- Verify that the power cable is connected to either the TX or RX unit and that the blue LED indicator is lit.
- Try connecting the source directly to the display to confirm the source and display are working correctly.
- Ensure you are using a Cat6 or Cat7 Ethernet cable. Lower category cables may not support the required bandwidth over distance.
- Perform an EDID learning procedure (see Section 6) to ensure compatibility with your display.
- Flickering or Intermittent Signal:
- Check the length and quality of your Ethernet cable. Excessive length or poor quality cable can cause signal degradation.
- Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interference sources near the Ethernet cable.
- Verify that the power supply is stable.
- Screen Restoration (Reset Function):
- If the screen becomes unresponsive or displays incorrectly, press the function button on either the transmitter or receiver unit. The screen should restore after a brief black screen.
