3. Connect the Remote Display to the Receiver (RX): Use an HDMI cable to connect your remote display device (e.g., TV, projector) to the HDMI OUT port on the Receiver (RX) unit.
4. Connect TX and RX Units via Ethernet Cable: Connect a single Cat5e/Cat6/Cat7/Cat8 Ethernet cable between the UTP port on the Transmitter (TX) unit and the UTP port on the Receiver (RX) unit. Ensure the cable is directly connected and not routed through a network switch or router for optimal performance.
5. Power On the Units: Connect the provided DC 5V power adapters to the DC 5-12V power input ports on both the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) units. Plug the power adapters into electrical outlets.
