- No external power supply is typically required as the unit draws power from the HDMI source, though performance may vary with cable quality and length.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HDMI Repeater, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Picture or Sound:
- Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the repeater and the source/display devices.
- Verify that the source device is powered on and outputting an HDMI signal.
- Check that the display device is set to the correct HDMI input.
- Try using shorter HDMI cables to test if the issue is related to cable length or quality.
- Test the HDMI cables directly between the source and display without the repeater to confirm they are functional.
- Intermittent Signal or Flickering:
- This can indicate signal degradation. Ensure the total cable length does not exceed the recommended maximum.
- Replace lower quality HDMI cables with higher quality, shielded cables.
- Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interference sources near the cables or repeater.
- Resolution Issues:
- Confirm that both your source and display devices support the desired resolution.
- The repeater supports up to 1080p. If you are attempting higher resolutions, it will not function correctly.
