Note: It is suggested to use gigabit (1000 Mbps) switches in LAN transmission, and 100Mbps switches should not be mixed with gigabit switches when cascading.

Connection Instructions

  1. Connect the source device to the HDMI IN port of the transmitter with an HDMI cable, and connect the HDMI OUT port of the receiver to the display device with another HDMI cable.
  2. If it’s a one-to-one connection, use a network cable to connect the RJ45 port of the transmitter and receiver. If it is a one-to-many connection, use the gigabit switch as a bridge to connect the transmitter and the receivers with the network cable respectively.
  3. If using HDMI loop out, connect the display device to the HDMI OUT port of the transmitter.
  4. Plug the power supply into the devices to get started.

IR User Guide

  1. IR blaster extension cable should plug in the IR OUT port of the transmitter or receiver, IR receiver extension cable should plug in the IR IN port of the transmitter or receiver.
  2. The emitter of the IR blaster extension cable should be as close as possible to the IR receiving window of the source device.
  3. Point the remote control at the receiving head of the IR receiver extension cable to operate.

Connection Instructions

  1. Baud rate
    Different encoding mechanisms cannot be mixed, the baud rate of the RS-232 port of this transmitter and receiver is 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200.

  2. Line order
    Make sure the RS-232 serial line is firmly connected and that the serial data line is connected correctly as follows:ZENTY-ZT-380-4K-60Hz-HDMI-Extender-
Over-400Ft-Cat5e-6-Transmitter- \(10\)
    If the RS-232 serial does not work by following the above connection, please try to change the order of the TXD line and RXD line.

  3. Check baud rate
    If you need to check the baud rate, set the baud rate value of the serial port test tool to the default value of 115200, connect the serial port test tool to the product, and then power on the product. The baud rate printed at this time is the current baud rate. For example:”Baudrate:9600″, that is, the baud rate value is 9600.

  4. Set baud rate
    For example: the baud rate of the product is 9600, and the baud rate of the serial port test tool is 115200. At this time, the baud rate of the serial port test tool must be set to 9600, which is consistent with the product, and then input the command you want to set “Bset:19200”, if “Succeed” is displayed after sending data, the baud rate 19200 is set successfully.
