3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your ANSTEN HDMI Over Coax Extender:
3.1 Connecting the Transmitter (TX)

4. Operating Instructions
Once all connections are securely made and both the Transmitter and Receiver units are powered on, the ANSTEN HDMI Over Coax Extender will automatically establish a connection and transmit the HDMI signal. No additional configuration is typically required.
- Ensure your input source provides a progressive signal (e.g., 1080p, 720p, 480p). Interlaced signals (1080i/720i) are not supported and will not display correctly.
- The system is designed for plug-and-play operation. If a signal is not immediately detected, verify all cable connections and power supplies.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
5.1 No Signal or "Check TX's input signal" message
- Verify HDMI Cable: Disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable from the source to the Transmitter (TX). Try using a different HDMI cable to rule out cable failure.
- Check HDMI Source: Ensure your HDMI source device is powered on and outputting a signal.
- Input Signal Type: Confirm that the HDMI source is outputting a progressive signal (1080p, 720p, 480p). This extender does not support interlaced signals (1080i/720i). If your source outputs interlaced signals, an upscaler may be required before connecting to the extender.
5.2 "Searching TX" message or no signal on Receiver (RX)
- Power Supply: Check if both power adapters are correctly connected to the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) units and that their power indicator lights are on.
- Coaxial Cable Connection: Ensure the coaxial cable is securely connected to both the TX and RX units' COAX DATA ports. Try re-plugging the cable.
- Coaxial Cable Integrity: Test with a different coaxial cable if possible, especially for long runs, to rule out cable damage or poor quality.
- Interface Type: Confirm you are using a BNC interface coaxial cable, not an RF interface.
- Signal Lights: Observe the signal lights on both TX and RX units. If they are flashing quickly, it indicates a proper connection.
- Receiver HDMI Cable/Monitor: Try a different HDMI cable from the Receiver (RX) to the display, or test with another HDMI monitor/TV to isolate the issue.
