To install the Receiver:
4a. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant cable.
4b. Connect the one (1) Cat 5e/6 cables to RJ45 LINK connectors on the Receiver.
4. Connect the 5 VDC power supply to the Receiver first, and then plug the power supply into
an AC power outlet. Connect the 5 VDC power supply to the Transmitter first, and then plug
the power supply into an AC power outlet. If power is present, the green power LED of the
Transmitter and the Receiver will be ON.
Note: Power the HDMI 4-Play Extender only after all connections are made.
5. Power the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.
6. This product support bidirectional IR control. If infrared remote control is needed to control
the Source equipment from the Display, connect the IR Sensor to the 3.5mm Stereo Jack of
the receiver and the IR Emitter to the 3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.
Note: You can differentiate the IR Sensor and the IR Emitter by looking at the 3.5 mm
plug. The IR Sensor is using a Stereo Plug (3 Contacts) and the IR Emitter a
mono plug (2 Contacts). Do not mix emitters and sensors from this kit with older
versions.
7. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed to the hand-held remote control. For a clear IR
signal reception, aim the hand-held remote control to the top of the IR Sensor enclosure.
8. Position the IR Emitter as close as possible to the source’s IR Sensor (i.e. DVD player). For a
clear IR signal reception, the IR Emitter can be glued on the source’s IR Sensor. The IR
Emitter’s signal is transmitted from the side of the enclosure.
9. If infrared remote control is needed to control the Display equipment from the Source,
connect the IR Emitter to the 3.5mm Stereo Jack of the receiver and the IR Sensor to the
3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.
10. If an Ethernet 10/100 LAN connection is required, connect Cat5e/6 jumper cables between
the LAN equipment and the RJ45 LAN connectors on the Transmitter and Receiver.
11. If a serial communication is required, the product also supports RS232 pass-thru in order to
allow a device such as commercial monitors to be controlled as in digital signage application.
Please refer to the following diagram for the cabling connection.
12. The following diagram shows the final configuration.
