Introduction

Packaging Contents

• 1 x Wall-mounted HDMI Extender

• 1 x Wall-mounted HDMI Receiver

• 1 x Universal Power Adapter (NA/UK/EU)

• 1 x Instruction Manual

System Requirements

• HDMI-enabled video source device (i.e. computer, Blu-ray player)

• HDMI-enabled display device (i.e. television, projector)

• Available AC electrical outlet or DC terminated power source for either the

transmitter or receiver

• 2x HDMI cable (for video source to transmitter and receiver to display)

Preparing Your Site

1. Determine where the local video source (i.e. computer, Blu-ray player) will

be located and set up the device. Ensure this is near an electrical box with 2x

terminated RJ45 connectors leading to the remote display.

2. Determine where the remote display will be located and place/mount the display

appropriately. Ensure this is near an electrical box with 2x terminated RJ45

connectors leading to the local video source.

Note: This HDMI extender kit features Power Over Cable, allowing both the transmitter

and receiver to be powered from a single power source that connects to either the

transmitter or receiver unit. Please ensure that the unit you’ve chosen to power

is situated near an available AC electrical outlet, or a DC terminal power source is

available in the electrical box for the transmitter or receiver unit. Make sure all devices

are turned o before beginning installation. Before you begin Hardware Installation

ensure both transmitter and receiver are properly grounded.

Instruction Manual

Hardware Installation

1. Install the RJ45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet cables to the transmitter and

receiver units.

a) Connect two RJ45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet cables (not included) to the

transmitter unit - one cable for the Link Out 1 RJ45 connector and another one for

the Link Out 2 RJ45 connector.

Note: Ensure that the Category 5/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling

between the transmitter unit and the receiver unit has been properly terminated in

a wall box in each location. Also, ensure that the patch cables are long enough to

connect the transmitter unit and the receiver unit inside their respective electrical

boxes. The cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router,

switch).

b) Connect the other ends of your terminated Cat5e/6 cable runs to the Link Out 1

and Link Out 2 RJ-45 connectors on the receiver unit.

2. Connect the power source to the transmitter or receiver unit.

Note: The HDMI extender kit only requires a single power source to be connected to

either the transmitter or receiver unit.

There are two methods for providing power to the HDMI extender kit. Please review

each method below and determine your desired method.

a) Method 1 – Using the included power adapter.

Note: If you’ve chosen Method 1 please complete step 3. (Install the extender and

receiver units into the electrical boxes) before connecting your power source.

i. Determine whether you will be connecting your power source to either the

transmitter or the receiver unit.

ii. Using the included power adapter, connect the power adapter port on either

the transmitter or receiver unit to an available wall outlet.

b) Method 2 – Using terminal DC power.

i. Determine whether you will be connecting your power source to either the

transmitter or the receiver unit.

ii. Using a small at-head screw driver, loosen the screws for the terminal block

connectors on either the transmitter or receiver unit.

iii. Connect the power and ground wires from your DC power source to the

proper terminal block connectors and refasten the screws. The proper

terminals are marked on the transmitter/receiver unit housing.

Instruction Manual

3. Install the transmitter and receiver units into the electrical boxes.

a) Install the transmitter unit into the electrical box. Please follow the instructions

included with your electrical box to determine which mounting points on the

transmitter unit should be used.

b) Install the receiver unit into the electrical box. Please follow the instructions

included with your electrical box to determine which mounting points on the

receiver unit should be used.

Note: If you have chosen to connect the power source using the included power

adapter (Method 1) please do so now.

Method 1 – Using the included power adapter.

i. Determine whether you will be connecting your power source to either the

transmitter or the receiver unit.

ii. Using the included power adapter, connect the power adapter port on either

the transmitter or receiver unit to an available wall outlet.

4. Using an HDMI cable (not included), connect your HDMI-enabled video source

device to the HDMI-in port on the transmitter unit.

5. Using an HDMI cable (not included), connect your HDMI-enabled display

device to the HDMI-out port on the receiver unit.

Your source video image will now appear on the remote video display.

EDID Conguration

provided from your HDMI display to your HDMI source device.

Manual EDID Conguration (EDID Copy / EDID Ghost)

a result of one of the following:

• The display is not properly connected.

• The display is not powered on.

• The display does not support EDID.

Please check your setup and attempt the EDID Conguration procedure again.
