DIGITUS HDMI IP POE Extender Set, 4K/60Hz
Installation Guide
Models: DS-55353, DS-55354
1. Introduction
The HDMI IP Extender Set, 4K/60Hz enables the transmission of HDMI AV signals in ultra-high-definition 4K quality (4096x2160p at 60Hz) over long distances of up to 200 meters - thanks to the powerful point-to-point connection via a CAT6 network cable or higher. The set is fully powered via a POE network switch; external power supply units are not required.
Expansion via IP allows the system to be scaled flexibly and supports up to 253 receivers (displays) for point-to-multipoint transmission. In addition, the existing 1G network infrastructure can be used, allowing for an unlimited signal range by cascading via network switches.
For even greater flexibility, additional receivers (RX) are available separately (model: DS-55354). The excellent picture quality is always maintained: Thanks to a low latency of just 150-220 ms, transmission is smooth and razor-sharp in UHD.
Another practical feature is the integrated IR interface, which enables remote control of the input source directly from the output screen. The device is also suitable for wall mounting, allowing for space-saving installation.
Ideal for professional AV applications, home cinema setups, or use in companies - this HDMI IP extender set combines the highest transmission quality with maximum flexibility.

Q: Display shows: "Waiting for connection..."
A:
- Please check if the TX (sender) and network switch (if used) and RX (receiver) are connected, and ensure all cable connections are firm.
- Try the "Reset" button.
Q: Display shows "Please check the TX input signal"
A:
- Please check if there is a HDMI signal input on the TX.
- Try connecting the signal source directly to the display device to verify signal output from the source device, or try changing the HDMI cable.
- Try the "Reset" button.
Q: Display: Picture not fluent, not stable
A:
- Please check the cable length between the TX to the network switch (if used), the switch (if used) to the RX, and ensure the connection between each level is within the required range.
