Troubleshooting

There is no display on the screen.
It has been found that there are significant differences in the cable lengths/types and even input ports which can be used on different brands of display using HDMI 18G 4K@60Hz resolutions. If problems areexperienced, please apply the following steps:

Check that the Receiver used supports distance and resolution required
Try a different input port on the display.
Reduce the cable length on the Input and Output to 1m.
Try a different type of 1m HDMI Cable.
Check that the DC plug and jack used by the external power supply is firmly connected and that the power LED is illuminated on both the Transmitter and Receiver.
Check that the Cat.6/7 cable is plugged in correctly and that the Connection LED on the left side of both the HDBaseT In and Out ports are illuminated.
For several HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and re-connect their HDMI connection to reinitiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.
Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the extender, then the display and finally the source.
Reduce the length of Cat.6/7 or HDMI cable used or use an higher quality cable. Lindy regularly checks and tests our product range to ensure maximum compatibility and performance.
