Hardware Installation

1. Power off all devices including your HDMI source and HDMI display(s).
2. Connect your HDMI source device to the Transmitter’s HDMI In connector with an HDMI cable (HDMI cable is not included).
3. Connect your CAT cables between the Transmitter and CAT6/7 Receivers.
4. Optional: Connect an HDMI display to the HDMI Out connector of the Transmitter using an HDMI cable (HDMI cable not included). This connection is needed only if you require local monitoring of the HDMI signal.
5. Connect an HDMI display to each CAT6/7 Receiver’s HDMI Out connector with an HDMI cable (HDMI cables not included).
6. Optional: Connect the IR Receiver cables and the IR Emitter cables to the IR interface ports. The IR feature is bi-directional so either the source device or the display device(s) can be remotely controlled. See IR Control, on page 9, for proper IR connection.
7. Plug the included 12V/2A power adapter into the Transmitter’s Power Jack, then plug the power adapter into a reliable power outlet. Note: Only 1 power adapter, connected to the Transmitter, is needed to power all Receivers over CAT cables.
8. Power on your HDMI source device and HDMI display(s). The Splitter/Extender is ready for use.

Application Diagram

The application diagram shows the most typical input and output devices used with the Splitter/Extender.

CAT Cable Wiring

We suggest both RJ-45 connectors be wired identically using T568B wiring standard for the best performance and compatibility.

Note : You may use (T e, CAT 6 wiring, however, for best performance CAT6a or CT7 (particularly in electrically noisy environments) is recon- imended. The maximum transmission distance and video quality may be compromised by cable quality, patch cables, poor termination, wall plates, cable kinks, and electrical interference. We recommend using 100% copper 23AWG (avoid CCA type) CAT cable, in one straight run (avoid/minimize patches) and avoid close proximity to electrical sources.

IR Control

Provides IR control of the connected devices. The IR feature is bi-directional so either the source device or the display device(s) can be remotely controlled.
Controlling the Source Device

1. Connect an IR Emitter Cable to the IR Out port of the Transmitter.
2. Point the IR Emitter Cable’s IR eye in line with the source device’s IR window.
3. Connect an IR Receiver Cable to the IR In port on each CAT6/7 Receiver.

Note:
The Transmitter’s IR Out connector will output the IR signals received from any of the CAT 6/7 Receivers, so as to allow control of a source from any of the remote CAT 6/7 Receivers.

Controlling the Display Device(s) using IR In
Allows you to remotely control each display individually.

1. Connect an IR Receiver Cable to the IR In port of the Transmitter.
2. Connect an IR Emitter Cable to the IR Out port on each CAT6/7 Receiver.
3. Point the IR Emitter Cable’s IR eye in line with the display’s IR window.

EDID Management

EDID is used by the source device to match the video resolution to the connected display(s). However, since displays with different capabilities are often connected, the EDID DIP switch can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to offer the best compatiblity accross all connected displays.
DIP Switch
The splitter supports EDID management through a 3-pin DIP switch.
Switch Up for “0”
Switch Down for “1”
Default Setting: 0, 0, 0

Notes:

• 4K is equivalent to 3840 x 2160 resolution
•  With a computer as a source device, restart the computer after making changes to the EDID setting
• Copy EDID option can only be used with displays maxing out at 4K@60Hz. EDID copy of displays with higher resolution than 4K@60Hz, such as 8K or HDMI 2.1 devices, may result in blank screens
• Displays with 21:9 aspect ratio aren’t supported

EDID Copy Instructions

1. Unplug the splitter’s power cord.
2. Adjust all DIP switches to down position, 111.
3. Reconnect the splitter’s power cord.
4. Connect the display, using an HDMI cable, that you would like to copy the EDID to the transmitter’s HDMI loopout port.
5. The display’s EDID is automatically read and saved, and all HDMI outputs will use the EDID.

Factory Reset

To restore factory settings, press and hold down the TX’s reset button for 3 seconds.

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Q: Poor video quality or no video signal on display:

A1: Check whether the HDMI cables are connected properly and are in good working condition. A2: Make sure the resolution of the display is compatible with the splitter's resolution

Q: No HDMI signal output from the CAT6/7 connectors while the local HDMI out port is working normally:

A1: Check whether the HDMI cables are connected properly and are in good working condition.

Q: Splash screen on the displays:

A1: Cause by damaged or low quality HDMI cables. Change to a higher quality HDMI cable.
