How to use and trouble shoot Simplified MFG Extenders

At the TX end:
Is everything connected (Cat, HDMI, Power etc)?
Is the HDMI cable in the HDMI input of the TX? We often use a loop out, make sure the input is not in this port.
What are the lights where the Cat cable plugs into doing?
Is the Green Lit Solid?
Yes, good! Flashing or off the category cable is poor. This can be the termination (check the manual for wiring termination), poor wire, or interference from being run poorly
Is the Amber Lit Solid?
Yes good! Flashing slowly means no HDCP, off means no signal at HDMI port(s)
At the RX end:
Is the Green Lit Solid?
Yes, good! Flashing or off the category cable is poor. This can be the termination (check the manual for wiring termination), poor wire, or interference from being run poorly
Is the Amber Lit Solid?
Yes good! Flashing slowly means no HDCP, off means no signal at HDMI port(s)

Other Techniques:
Make the circuit simpler. Move the source near the display or the display near the source and see if it works with a short HDMI cable. You can use this to verify the HDMI cables work as well. Add components until the system fails.
Use a known working run of category cable across the floor and see if behavior changes.
It is often the case that the display’s setting can cause odd/poor behavior. Consult the display’s tech resources. Also, it is possible we have seen the issue and may have a tech paper on this.
Not a bad idea to keep the following on your service vehicle:

• Test source like an AppleTV or signal generator
•  Known working HDMI cables
• Known working terminated Category cable
•  SP12S splitter for clocking issues, etc.

The REX2 is a HDMI 2.0a 4K Extender set that supports HDR @24/25/30Hz. This is a more capable version of the REX1. Applications are; 4K cameras/NVR/DVR where HDCP2.2 is not used and as a far more robust version of the REX1 for 1080p applications
(longer distance more throughput) Small size makes it easy to place be-hind displays. 1 Way IR kit is includ-ed and sends IR from the display end to the transmission end.
