7. Advanced Configurations

Using an HDMI Extender:

To extend the distance between your HDMI source and the video wall controller, an HDMI extender can be used. Connect the HDMI extender transmitter (TX) to your source, and the receiver (RX) to the HD0112's HDMI input. Use a CAT-5e/6/7 cable to connect the TX and RX units.

Using an HDMI Switch:

To connect multiple HDMI source devices to the video wall controller, an HDMI switch can be utilized. Connect your various source devices (e.g., PC, laptop, TV box) to the inputs of the HDMI switch, and then connect the output of the HDMI switch to the HDMI input of the HD0112. This allows you to easily switch between different signal sources for your video wall display.
