5. Setup Instructions
5.1 Initial Setup (1 TX to 1 RX)
- Connect the HDMI source (e.g., laptop, PC, game console) to the HDMI IN port of the Transmitter (TX) using an HDMI cable.
- Connect a display (e.g., TV, monitor) to the HDMI OUT port of the Receiver (RX) using an HDMI cable.
- Connect the provided power adapters to both the TX and RX units and plug them into a power outlet.
- Ensure both TX and RX units are set to SP (Splitter) mode using the switch on the front panel.
- The units should automatically pair. The 'Link' indicator light will turn solid green when a stable connection is established.

5.2 Pairing Extra Receivers
If you have purchased additional receivers, they need to be paired with the transmitter for first use. Follow these steps:
- Connect the DV 12V power cable to supply power for both the TX and RX units. Set both to SP mode.
- Connect an HDMI cable from the TX's HDMI IN to the RX's HDMI OUT. This direct connection is for pairing only.
- When pairing, the 'STA' light will flash. Once pairing is complete, the 'STA' light will become solid.
- After successful pairing, remove the HDMI cable and connect the RX to your desired HDMI display.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Connection Modes
The AIMIBO Wireless HDMI Extender supports two primary connection modes: SP (Splitter) Mode and SW (Switch) Mode.
- SP Mode (Splitter Mode): In this mode, one Transmitter (TX) can send signals to up to eight Receivers (RXs) simultaneously, displaying the same content on all connected screens. This is ideal for broadcasting content to multiple displays.
- SW Mode (Switch Mode): This mode allows a single Receiver (RX) to switch between multiple Transmitters (TXs). Each TX can be assigned a unique channel ID, and the RX can select which TX's signal to display.

For a detailed explanation of the two connection modes, please watch the following video:

6.2 KVM Functionality
The KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) feature allows you to control a computer connected to the Transmitter (TX) from a remote location where the Receiver (RX) is located. Connect your keyboard and mouse to the USB ports on the RX unit. This enables remote control of your source device.
6.3 IR Remote Control
The system supports IR pass-through, allowing you to control your source device (e.g., DVD player, set-top box) from the remote display location. Connect the IR Blaster cable to the TX unit and position its emitter near the source device's IR receiver. Connect the IR Receiver cable to the RX unit and position its receiver to face your remote control.
6.4 HDMI Loop-Out
The Transmitter (TX) unit includes an HDMI Loop-Out port. This allows you to connect a local display directly to the TX unit, mirroring the content being sent wirelessly to the RX units. This is useful for monitoring the transmitted content locally.
6.5 Extend Mode
The system supports extending your desktop across multiple monitors. This allows for an expanded workspace, where different content can be displayed on each screen. For a demonstration of this feature, refer to the video below:
Video 6.2: This video demonstrates how the AIMIBO HDMI Extender can be used to extend a single display across multiple screens, creating an expanded desktop environment.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Signal:
- Ensure both TX and RX units are powered on and the power indicator lights are solid.
- Check all HDMI cable connections between source, TX, RX, and display.
- Verify that the TX and RX units are within the effective transmission range and have a clear line of sight.
- Confirm that the TX and RX units are set to the correct mode (SP or SW) and channel ID if applicable.
- Intermittent Signal/Poor Quality:
- Reduce the distance between TX and RX units.
- Minimize obstructions (walls, furniture) between the units.
- Avoid interference from other 5.8Ghz wireless devices.
- Ensure antennas are securely attached and oriented correctly.
- KVM Not Responding:
- Ensure the USB-A to USB-B cable is correctly connected between the TX unit and the source computer.
- Verify that the keyboard and mouse are properly connected to the RX unit's USB ports.
- Test the keyboard and mouse directly with the source computer to rule out device issues.
