Installation
Please follow the steps below for installation.
- Connect the HDMI Source device to the transmitter using the integrated HDMI fly-lead
- Remove the pre-installed dust covers from the LC fibre optic ports on the TX and RX units. Carefully connect a duplex LC OM3 multi-mode fibre optic cable to the ◄ ► ports on the TX and RX units, ensuring that the fibre connection is crossed as shown.
- Connect the receiver to an HDMI display or projector using the HDMI fly-lead.
- Ensure both the transmitter and receiver are connected to either a 5V1A USB charger or USB 3.0 port using the two USB Type A to Micro-B cables.
- Power on the source and display devices, followed by the transmitter and receiver units.
Troubleshooting
If the display is not showing an image as expected after installation, please consider the following steps to resolve the issue.
- Check that all cables are firmly secure in their ports, including the micro-b power cables, HDMI fly-leads and fibre optic cable.
- This extender requires the duplex fibre optic connection to be crossed between the transmitter and receiver units. Please check that both strands of the fibre optic cable are connected to the opposite ports marked on the TX and RX units using the ◄ ► port markers on each unit as shown by the diagram above.
- For HDMI devices, it may be helpful to unplug and re-plug their HDMI connection to re-initiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.
- Power off all devices, then power each device back on in the following order: first the transmitter, then the receiver, followed by the display or projector and finally the source device.
- Check the output resolution and colour depth. If this is greater than the maximum supported resolution, reduce the output resolution.
- Check the length of the duplex LC OM3 multi-mode fibre optic cable used, if this is greater than 300m (984.24ft) please reduce this length.
