Installation

Preparing your site

Note: This device will only work with the ST12MHDLAN4K HDMI® Extender kit. Please review site preparation steps from the ST12MHDLAN4K manual prior to installing additional receivers. The ST12MHDLAN4K HDMI extender kit lets you extend your 4K30 video over a Gigabit LAN network, beyond the typical cable length restriction of 330 ft. (100m) of Gigabit network portals.

Refer to the manufacturer of the network equipment to determine the length restriction and to ensure the transmitter unit and receiver unit(s) are all within the restricted range of the nearest network portal.

Note: Ensure the transmitter unit, and receiver unit(s) are all situated near AC electrical outlets.

Determine where the local video source (i.e. computer, Blu-ray player) will be located and set up the transmitter device near that location.
Determine where the remote display will be located and set up the receiver near that location.
(Optional) If using additional displays determine where they will be located and set the additional receiver unit(s) near that location.
