Introduction
The ST12MHDLAN HDMI® Over IP Extender kit lets you extend an HDMI® audio and
video signal over a Gigabit LAN network. The kit includes both the extender and
receiver for a complete all-in-one solution, and offers a highly scalable installation
when used with additional ST12MHDLANRX receiver units (sold separately). The
ST12MHDLANRX receivers can be connected to the same network to output the HDMI®
signal to over 100 additional displays.
This flexible HDMI® extender can be connected through a Gigabit LAN portal and span
the entire distance of your network, or connected point-to-point with no network
hub for a small scale one-to-one extension of up to 330 feet (100 meters). Plus,
because the HDMI® signal is extended over standard Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable with
RJ45 connectors, proprietary cables aren’t necessary, eliminating both the expense
and hassle of running specialized cables. For added versatility, up to 16 different
ST12MHDLAN Transmitter units can be added to a single network (IGMP Network
support required).
The HDMI® over IP Extender kit includes optional mounting hardware for a professional
and tidy installation.
Ideal for High-Definition applications, the extender supports 1080p video resolutions,
digital stereo audio, and features built-in EDID monitor emulation, which ensures
native resolution and maximum compatibility with your display or projector, for a
convenient plug-and-play installation.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Preparing Your Site
NOTE: The ST12MHDLAN HDMI® extender kit can use a Gigabit LAN Network to
extend the signal. Most Gigabit Network portals have a cable length restriction of
330 ft. (100m). Refer to the manufacturer of the equipment to determine the length
restriction and ensure the Transmitter Unit, and Receiver Unit(s) are all within the
restricted range of the nearest network portal.
Ensure the Transmitter Unit, and Receiver Unit(s) are all situated near an available AC
electrical outlet.
1. Determine where the local video source (i.e. computer, Blu-ray Player) will be
located and set up the device.
2. Determine where the remote display will be located and place/ mount the
display appropriately.
3. (Optional) If using additional receiver units (ST12MHDLANRX sold separately),
determine where the remote displays will be located in and place/ mount the
displays appropriately.

Hardware Installation Using Gigabit LAN Network
1. Install Transmitter Unit
a) Position the Transmitter Unit near the video source (i.e. Computer, Blu-ray Player).
b) Connect an HDMI cable from the video source device (i.e. computer, Blu-ray
Player) to the “Video In”port on the Transmitter Unit.
c) Connect the provided Transmitter Unit power supply.
2. Install Receiver Unit(s)
a) Position the Receiver Unit(s) near the video display (i.e. television, projector).
b) Connect an HDMI cable from the display Input to the “Video Out”port on the
Receiver Unit.
c) Connect the provided Receiver Unit power supply.
d) (optional) If using additional ST12MHDLANRX Receivers (sold separately), repeat
steps for each additional Receiver.
NOTE: The “Dip Rotary Switch”on the Extender and each Receiver connected to the
network must be set in the same position for the devices to communicate.
3. Connect the devices to a Gigabit LAN Network
a) Connect an RJ-45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable to the “LAN Port”(RJ-45
Connector) on the Transmitter unit, and all receiver units.
NOTE: If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5e/6
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Transmitter Unit to the
Gigabit LAN hub, router, or switch.
OR
If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5e/6 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling between the Transmitter and Gigabit LAN hub, router, or
switch has been properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a
patch cable long enough to connect the Network portal and Transmitter Unit to their
respective outlets.
b) Connect the other end of the Cat5e/6 cable run to a Gigabit LAN hub, router
or switch.
c) (optional) When adding additional Receiver Units (ST12MHDLANRX – Sold
separately), a run of Cat 5e/6 cable will be required from each device to the Gigabit
LAN hub, router or switch.
4. Your source video image will now appear on the Receiver unit(s) attached
video display.

(Optional) Point to Point Hardware Installation without Gigabit LAN Network
NOTE: While range is reduced to a maximum of 330 feet (100 Meters) the
ST12MHDLAN HDMI® extender kit also allows for extending the signal without a
Gigabit LAN Network by connecting the Transmitter directly to the Receiver using
CAT5e/6 cabling. This also eliminates the ability to add additional Receivers.
1. Install Transmitter Unit
d) Position the Transmitter Unit near the video source (i.e. Computer, Blu-ray Player).
e) Connect an HDMI® cable from the video source device (i.e. computer, Blu-ray
Player) to the “HDMI IN”on the Transmitter Unit.
f) Connect the provided Transmitter Unit power supply.
2. Install Receiver Unit(s)
e) Position the Receiver Unit(s) near the video display (i.e. television, projector).
f) Connect an HDMI® cable from the display Input to the “Video Out”port on the
Receiver Unit.
g) Connect the provided Receiver Unit power supply.
NOTE: The “Dip Rotary Switch”on the Extender and Receiver connected must be set in
the same position for the devices to communicate.
3. Install RJ-45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet Cable
d) Connect an RJ-45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable to the HDMI® Out Link
(RJ-45 Connector) on the Transmitter unit.
NOTE:
If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5e/6 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Transmitter Unit to the Receiver
Unit’s location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ45 connector.
OR
If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5e/6 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling between the Transmitter and Receiver Units have been
properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long
enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit to their respective outlets.
e) Connect the other end of the Cat5/6 cable run to the RJ45 connector on the
remote Unit Receiver Unit.
4. Your source video image will now appear on the remote unit(s) attached
video display.

Hardware Reset Procedure
NOTE: If video signal does not appear on the display a hardware reset can be
performed on the Transmitter Unit, or individual Receiver Units.
1. Press the reset button on the device using a pin point tool, such as a ballpoint pen
or a bent paper clip.
EDID Copy
EDID allows the video source to output the most ideal signal to the video display. The
“EDID Copy”function on the ST12MHDLANRX ensures that EDID is still active through
the Ethernet extender.
NOTE: If you using multiple receivers the EDID can only be copied from one unit, the
signal customized for that display will be applied to all displays connected through
additional receivers.
1. Disconnect the power cable from the Receiver.
2. Hold down the F2 button
3. Reconnect the Power while holding down the F2 button
4. Release F2 button after the power has been reconnected for 12 seconds (the
Network Status LED flashes yellow), EDID is now active through the
Ethernet extender.
Factory Default Setting
1. Disconnect the power cable from the Transmitter/Receiver.
2. Hold down the F1 button
3. Reconnect the Power while holding down the F1 button
4. Release F1 button after the power has been reconnected for 17 seconds (the Link
OK POWER LED flashes green and blue)
5. Reconnect the Power again.
