Binary™ Single Coax HDMI Extender (400') Plus IR Receiver & Flasher Pass Through


Perfect for those legacy systems that were pre-wired with only a single coaxial cable to each endpoint. The Binary™ 1COAX extender gives you the ability to send HDMI and IR control signals over the existing coax infrastructure. This system is completely resistant to EMI and ESD while delivering 1080p high definition up to 400 feet away.


    


Important Notice: If you are extending a source to a Panasonic television with a B-400-1COAX-HDIR you may have a problem with audio. The video will display correctly, but after a few minutes to a few hours there will be no audio, or garbled audio through the TV speakers. If an AV receiver is used for sound the audio will play without problems.

Extend Your Options
Existing analog TV installations with coaxial cable can now be easily retrofitted to HDMI distribution systems using the B-400-1COAX-HDIR. High-def HDMI signals are delivered up to 400' at full 1080p 60Hz resolution.* At up to 3X the distance, this extender is the ideal problem solver for long-distance residential and commercial HDMI applications.

NOTE: For max. distance use RG6 3GHz solid copper core 75 Ohm quadshield cable and 75 Ohm BNC connectors
 

Engineered by SnapAV
Under the hood of the B-400-1COAX-HDIR is an engineer’s paradise! These surface-mount, high speed circuits are built on a multi-layer board to give you an “over coax” solution that is specifically designed for custom install applications. Sure you have a number of supplier choices when it comes to HDMI products – but do they offer full HDCP compliance, EDID learning, bi-directional IR, and locking power connectors? "Engineered by SnapAV" – it’s not just a saying, it’s what we do.
 

EMI/ESD Immunity
In some applications, conventional unshielded twisted pair can be susceptible to interference from fans, microwaves and other devices that emit RF noise. Coaxial wire is fully shielded with a metal braid and foil so it is more resistant to EMI. During development, every connection was tortured with an ESD gun and a lightning simulator. They were hit with ESD at 15KV and surges up to 2500V. More important, though, they each lived to tell about it!
 


Bi-Directional IR
Over the same coax wire, you can easily control DVD players, cable boxes and other source equipment from the TV location. If an automation or remote system is being used, an adapter cable is included to allow control of the TV from the equipment at the head-end. For best performance, use our Episode® IR flashers and receivers. View Diagram>>
 


Installation Ease
A bi-color status LED on the TX and RX units indicate if the unit is receiving power and signal - great for troubleshooting! We've even included a locking power connector to secure power to the unit. No more worries about the customer calling because the power came unplugged! An EDID learning mode ensures the TV and source will always be in sync and operating at the highest resolution.

Important Note: The B-400-1COAX-HDIR does not pass uncompressed audio unless it is at a sample rate of 48Khz. While this is the expected sample rate for stereo from Satellite, Cable, DVDs and Blu-ray discs, some internet sources use different sample rates such as 44.1. Because of the limitation of the underlying technology used on the B-400-1COAX-HDIR extender, it is not possible to pass audio from these sources.

Pandora and other internet radio sources such as Slacker, some Netflix content and some game consoles are known to have problems. If you are planning to deliver audio / video content from game consoles or internet sources we do not recommend use of the B-400-1COAX-HDIR.

FAQs

Audio & Video

  1. Why am I having issues when sending the HDMI output of my AVR through an extender?
    Sometimes the built in scaling of an AVR can disrupt the timing of the HDMI signal as it passes through an extender. We recommend that the scaling processor be disabled in the AVR any time an extender is being used in the same signal path.
  2. When using an HDMI extender I am seeing "sparkles" in the picture on the display.
    Typically this is caused by long lengths of HDMI cable. We recommend minimizing this length to 1 meter or less.

HDMI Features

  1. Does the B-400-1COAX-HDIR allow 3D viewing?
    No, it does not pass 3d or 480p resolutions.

IR Passthrough

  1. Can I transmit IR signal from a third party controller (e.g. Control 4, Savant, etc.) through the IR ports of the extender?
    Yes. We include an adapter for use with a mono cable carrying the signal. This adapter is placed between a Mono-mini cable coming from a controller's flasher output and the green "IR Receiver" port on the extender.
  2. How do I add additional emitters to the single emitter output of the HDMI extender?
    By using an IR1x4 or IR 2x6 block, a mono cable , and as many IRF-1’s or -2’s as you need to flash each of your connected devices. Connect the mono cable to the flasher out port on the B-200-1CAT-HDIR, connect the mono-stereo adaptor included with the extender to the end of the mono cable, and plug the other end of the adaptor into the receiver port on the IR block.
  3. Does the IR on a HDIR series of extenders output on the same end as it is input?
    No. The IR passes from one end to the other but does not output on the same end.

Wiring & Connections

  1. Can RG59 be used with your coaxial extenders?
    If the RG-59 cable is solid core, and swept to 3 GHz, it can be used at distances up to 200 feet. RG6 quad shield with copper core and BNC connectors (not BNC adapters on a non-BNC connector) is the best cable and connector to use and can carry signal up to 400 feet.
  2. Is it necessary to use 1m or less cables at the transmit & receive ends of the extenders?
    While not critical for proper operation, we strongly recommend 1 meter or shorter, high speed rated HDMI cables. This is to ensure steady picture reproduction and reliability. If any issues arise with longer HDMI cables, change them to 1 meter or less before any other troubleshooting.
  3. Can I use stranded coaxial cables with this extender?
    We recommended that you use solid core coax for all applications relating to the coax series units. We cannot guarantee reliable operation with any stranded cable in place.
