This image displays the two main components of the BovBox WL009 Wireless HDMI Extender: the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) units. Both units are black with a carbon fiber texture on top and orange accents on the sides, featuring multiple antennas for wireless signal transmission.

2. Package Contents

Please verify that all items are present in your package:

• 1x Wireless HDMI Transmitter (TX)
• 1x Wireless HDMI Receiver (RX)
• 2x USB-A to USB-C Power Cables
• 2x Power Adapters (5V2A)
• 4x Antennas
• 2x IR Extension Cables (1x IR Blaster, 1x IR Receiver)

3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Antenna Installation

1. Carefully screw the four antennas onto the designated ports on both the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) units. Ensure they are finger-tight.

3.2 Power Connection

1. Connect the provided USB-A to USB-C power cables to the 5V2A ports on both the TX and RX units.
2. Plug the USB-A ends into the power adapters and then into a power outlet. The power indicator light on each unit should illuminate.

3.3 HDMI Connections

1. Transmitter (TX) Unit: Connect an HDMI cable from your video source (e.g., PC, laptop, game console, set-top box) to the HD IN port on the TX unit.
2. Optional Loop-Out: If you wish to have a local display near your source, connect an HDMI cable from the LOOP OUT port on the TX unit to your local display device (e.g., TV, monitor).
3. Receiver (RX) Unit: Connect an HDMI cable from the HD OUT port on the RX unit to your remote display device (e.g., HDTV, projector).

Figure 2: Connection Diagram. This diagram illustrates how to connect the Transmitter (TX) to a source device and optionally to a local display via the LOOP OUT, and how to connect the Receiver (RX) to a remote display. It also shows the wireless transmission path.

3.4 Pairing (for additional RX units)

The TX and RX units included in the kit are pre-paired from the factory. If you purchase additional RX units, they will need to be paired with the TX unit before use.

1. Power up both the new RX unit and the TX unit using their respective 5V2A power adapters.
2. Connect the new RX's HD OUT port to the TX's HD IN port using an HDMI cable.
3. Wait approximately 30 seconds. Check the indicator light on the TX unit. If it changes to a green flashing light and remains green for more than 5 seconds, the new RX is successfully paired to the TX.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Operation (Plug and Play)

Once all connections are made and units are powered on, the system is designed for plug-and-play operation. The video and audio from your source connected to the TX unit will automatically be transmitted wirelessly to the RX unit and displayed on the connected screen.

4.2 Loop-Out Function

The TX unit features an HDMI Loop-Out port, allowing you to connect a local display. This local display will show the same content as the remote display with absolutely no delay, which is ideal for monitoring or simultaneous viewing.

Figure 3: Low Latency with Local Loop-Out Function. This image highlights the low latency (0.06s) of the system and the loop-out feature on the transmitter, which allows for a local display without delay. It also shows camera-specific screw holes for mounting.

4.3 IR Remote Control Extension

The system supports IR remote control extension (20-60 KHz). Connect the IR Blaster cable to the TX unit and position its emitter near your source device's IR receiver. Connect the IR Receiver cable to the RX unit and position its receiver where your remote control signals can reach it. This allows you to control your source device remotely from the location of your RX unit.

4.4 Multi-Receiver Support

The BovBox WL009 system supports connecting up to four Receiver (RX) units to a single Transmitter (TX) unit, enabling multiple displays to show the same content simultaneously. Note that with an increased number of RX units, the wireless transmission distance may be shortened.

• 1 TX to 1 RX: Up to 820FT (250M)
• 1 TX to 2 RX: Up to 755FT (230M)
1 TX to 3 RX: Up to 689FT (210M)
• 1 TX to 4 RX: Up to 623FT (190M)

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BovBox WL009 Wireless HDMI Extender, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the units. Avoid liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Ventilation: Ensure the units are placed in well-ventilated areas to prevent overheating. Do not block the ventilation holes.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power and store the units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Cable Management: Avoid bending or kinking HDMI and power cables excessively to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BovBox WL009 Wireless HDMI Extender, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Picture or Audio:
  • Check if the power supply for both TX and RX units is connected correctly and the power indicator LED is on.
  • Ensure the HDMI cables are securely connected to the correct ports (HD IN on TX, HD OUT on RX).
  • Verify that the transmission distance does not exceed the specified range or if there are significant obstructions (e.g., thick walls). Try repositioning the units for better line of sight.
  • Check the signal strength indication on the receiver.
• IR Remote Control Not Working:
  • Ensure the IR Blaster and IR Receiver cables are plugged into the correct ports (TX for Blaster, RX for Receiver).
  • Confirm the IR Blaster is facing the IR receiver of your source device and the IR Receiver is positioned to receive signals from your remote.
  • Verify the IR frequency is within the controllable range of 20KHz-60KHz.
• Intermittent Signal or Poor Quality:
  • Reduce the distance between the TX and RX units.
  • Minimize obstructions between the units.
  • Ensure the product is more than 0.7 meters off the ground for optimal transmission.
  • Check for potential interference from other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) operating on similar frequencies (2.4G/5.8G).
• New RX Unit Not Pairing:
  • Follow the pairing steps in Section 3.4 carefully.
  • If pairing is unsuccessful, press the RESET button on both the Transmitter and Receiver for 2 seconds, then repeat the pairing steps.
