Will this function if the receiver end HDMI cable is plugged into an HDMI splitter?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. We do not recommend connecting an HDMI extender to an HDMI splitter that is not intended to be used in that way. We would recommend using a device designed to work to split and extend the HDMI signal. Such as PID 8158 or 8159.

Does this require power? If so, does it come with the power supply, and which end can it be plugged into?
BEST ANSWER: The picture shows two power supplies in the kit - One is for the source's unit and the 2nd is for the remote location's unit. This is typical with both wired and wireless HDMI and A/V extender kits.

If we wanted to use these in an existing cabling install that uses cat5e, what limitations can I expect?
BEST ANSWER: The specs say this can be used up to 50 meters. If you end up using CAT5e, I would expect that you would not be able to reach the full 50 m. You would have to experiment in your environment to see what the actual working length would end up being.

Can I use 2 sets of these with a 1x4 splitter? 3 TVs total, 2 running off extenders, 1 in same room run directly off splitter with HDMI cable. Set top box is only source needed.

Blackbird HDMI Extender over Single 100m CAT6 (TCP/IP) with IR Support

BEST ANSWER: I use the extender from my source to a splitter, then into two TVs. That seems to work well for me with no issues in the signal. But it seems like you are trying to go the other way. In that case, I am not sure? I would imagine that it should work, but you may lose some distance. You may not get the range from the extenders that they are estimated to send the signal. If your distance is shorter than their max range, I bet you will be ok. But if you're trying to go their maximum range you may run into some issues.

Does this work for laptops macs and pcs to extend over cat5 punch down?
BEST ANSWER: Yes. You'll connect it to your HDMI OUT on your PC/Mac and then use a dedicated run of cat5 to the receiver and connect that to the HDMI IN on the monitor/TV/projector. You do have to use a dedicated cat5 run - you cannot connect it through your existing network.

Are these units Passive? We have them hooked up to a PC with multiple video cards and when the end user turns off the TV, The PC can't see that display.
BEST ANSWER: No, these units are active and require a 5v power adapter on each side (included).
Your other comment, that 's how most computers work, when the computer can't see a display it won't send to it, unless it's on and see and active display. Windows 10 allows you to force send (Windows Button + P)

Does it support POE?
Using an RTI system as a control system on and off only. However your IR's are TRS and opposed to TR which almost eveyrone else uses. Can I assume they might be compatible? What is your pin config?
What are the dimensions of the power adapter? This will potentially be mounted inside a floor box.

good
I had purchased a much higher priced unit that purported to do all kinds of wonderful things over HD-BaseT. Get it installed and the IR function failed to work. HD-BaseT has a limited bandwidth, no joy.
Got htis, it worked. Yaaaa!

16048 Blackbird HDMI Extender over Cat 5e
Received this unit today which by the way came quite quickly, about 3 days from time of order.
I am trying to connect a Denon receiver and AT&T cable box to my Pioneer Plasma in the theater room. The Denon and DVR are sitting in a closet in the hallway (no line of sight).
When I built the house, I made sure that I had conduit from the theater to the media closet. I ran a CAT5e and connected everything up. Everything works great, there is no delays or sync audio issues.
One thing that is quite frustrating is getting the IR repeater to work. I have put the IR receiver eye on the bottom bezel of the TV and the other side, I have taped it to the receiver. The IR receiver eye does not blink red or give any indication that it is reading a signal from a remote. Worse yet, it does not seem to be transmitting the signal across to the IR blaster. Any help would be appreciated. I have spent hours fiddling around with the IR blaster to make sure it is right on top of the receiver IR eye.

It Works
It works good as a stand alone direct wired system.
It does work on an existing network but destroys your bandwidth. I have a gigabit network with 300Mbs internet download and with it on the network it knocks it down the speed to around 10-20Mbps. But has a very good picture.
