6. Setup Instructions
- Connect HDMI Source to TX: Connect your HDMI source device (e.g., PC, DVD player, game console) to the HDMI IN port on the Transmitter (TX) unit using a high-quality HDMI cable.
- Connect Local Displays (Optional): If you wish to use local displays, connect them to the HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 loop-out ports on the TX unit.
- Connect TX to RX Units: Connect the CAT3 and CAT4 RJ45 outputs on the TX unit to the respective RJ45 inputs on the two Receiver (RX) units using Cat5e/6/7 Ethernet cables. Ensure the cable lengths are within the recommended limits (50m for Cat6/7, 40m for Cat5e, 30m for Cat5).
- Connect Remote Displays to RX Units: Connect your remote HDMI display devices (e.g., TVs, projectors) to the HDMI OUT ports on each RX unit using high-quality HDMI cables.
- Power On TX Unit: Connect the provided 12V power adapter to the DC12V input on the TX unit. The RX units will receive power via the Ethernet cables (POC).
- Select EDID Mode: Adjust the EDID DIP Switch on the TX unit according to your display and audio requirements. Refer to the EDID Mode section for detailed settings.
- Verify Connections: Ensure all cables are securely connected. Power on all connected devices.

7. Operating Instructions
7.1 Power On/Off
- Ensure the 12V power adapter is connected to the TX unit.
- Use the ON/OFF switch on the front panel of the TX unit to power the system on or off.
- The Power indicator LED on the TX unit will illuminate when powered on.
7.2 EDID Mode Selection
The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) DIP switch allows you to select the optimal video and audio format for your connected displays. This helps ensure compatibility and the best possible output quality.
Image: Close-up of the EDID DIP switch on the Transmitter unit, showing the three switches labeled 1, 2, 3 and their ON/OFF positions.
Refer to the table below for common EDID settings:
| DIP Switch Setting (1-2-3) | EDID Mode |
|---|---|
| 000 | 1080p 2CH Audio |
| 001 | 1080p 5.1CH Audio |
| 010 | 1080p 7.1CH Audio |
| 011 | 1080p 3D 2CH Audio |
| 100 | 1080p 3D 5.1CH Audio |
| 101 | 1080p 3D 7.1CH Audio |
| 110 | 1920x1200 2CH Audio |
| 111 | Copy HDMI OUT 1 EDID |
Note: "0" typically means the switch is in the OFF/down position, and "1" means the ON/up position. If you experience display issues, try different EDID settings or use the "Copy HDMI OUT 1 EDID" mode if a local display is connected to HDMI OUT 1.
8. Maintenance
- Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Avoid exposing the device to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the units to prevent overheating.
9. Troubleshooting
- No Picture/Signal:
- Ensure all HDMI and Ethernet cables are securely connected.
- Verify the TX unit is powered on and the power indicator is lit.
- Check the length and quality of your Ethernet cables. Ensure they meet the recommended specifications (Cat5e/6/7).
- Try adjusting the EDID DIP switch settings on the TX unit to match your display's capabilities.
- Test with a different HDMI source or display to rule out device incompatibility.
- Flickering or Intermittent Signal:
- This can often be resolved by adjusting the EDID settings.
- Ensure Ethernet cables are not running near strong electromagnetic interference sources.
- Check for damaged cables.
- No Audio:
- Verify the EDID setting supports the desired audio format (e.g., 2CH, 5.1CH, 7.1CH).
- Check audio settings on your source device and display.
- POC Not Working (RX unit not powering on):
- Ensure the TX unit is powered by a 12V adapter. The RX units draw power from the TX unit via the Ethernet cable.
- Check the Ethernet cable for damage or improper termination.
