5. Setup Instructions

The AIMIBO Wireless HDMI Extender System supports multiple configurations. Ensure all devices are powered off before making connections.

5.1. Basic 1-to-1 Connection (One Transmitter, One Receiver)

1. Connect the HDMI output of your source device (e.g., laptop, PC, Blu-ray player) to the HDMI Input port on the Transmitter (TX) unit using an HDMI cable.
2. Connect the HDMI Output port on the Receiver (RX) unit to the HDMI input of your display device (e.g., TV, projector) using an HDMI cable.
3. Connect the provided power adapters to both the TX and RX units and plug them into a power outlet.
4. Power on your source device and display device. The TX and RX units should automatically pair and display the content.

5.2. 1 TX to Multiple RXs (Splitter Mode)

This mode allows one source device to transmit its signal to multiple display devices simultaneously (up to 8 Receivers).

1. Connect the TX unit to your source device as described in Section 5.1.
2. Connect each RX unit to a separate display device.
3. Power on all TX, RX, source, and display devices. The TX unit will broadcast the signal to all paired RX units.
4. Ensure all RX units are within the transmission range of the TX unit.

5.3. 1 RX to Multiple TXs (Switch Mode)

This mode allows one display device to receive signals from multiple source devices (up to 8 Transmitters), switching between them.

1. Connect the RX unit to your display device as described in Section 5.1.
2. Connect each TX unit to a separate source device.
3. Power on all TX, RX, source, and display devices.
4. To switch between source devices, press the Mode Switch Button on the desired TX unit. The RX unit will then display the content from that TX unit.

5.4. KVM Function Setup

The KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) function allows you to control the source device connected to the TX unit from the location of the RX unit.

1. Ensure the TX and RX units are set up for video transmission.
2. Connect a USB cable from the USB port on the TX unit to a USB port on your source device (e.g., laptop).
3. Connect your keyboard and mouse to the two USB ports on the RX unit.
4. You should now be able to control your source device using the keyboard and mouse connected to the RX unit.

5.5. IR Remote Control Setup

The IR remote control function allows you to control your source device (e.g., cable box, DVD player) from the location of your display device.

1. Connect the IR Blaster cable to the IR Out port on the TX unit. Position the IR Blaster emitter directly in front of the IR sensor of your source device.
2. Connect the IR Receiver cable to the IR In port on the RX unit. Position the IR Receiver in a location where it can receive signals from your remote control.
3. Use your source device's original remote control to operate it from the RX unit's location.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Power On/Off

Simply connect or disconnect the power adapters to power the units on or off. There is no dedicated power button.

6.2. Mode Switching (for 1 RX to Multiple TXs)

When using multiple TX units with a single RX unit, press the Mode Switch Button on the desired TX unit to select its signal for display on the RX-connected screen. The RX unit will automatically switch to the active TX signal.

6.3. HDMI Loop-Out Function

The TX unit includes an HDMI Loop-out port. Connect an HDMI cable from this port to a local display (e.g., a monitor on your desk) to view the source content directly, without wireless transmission. This is useful for monitoring the source signal.

6.4. Wireless Performance Considerations

• For optimal performance, ensure a clear line of sight between the TX and RX units.
• Walls, floors, and other obstacles can reduce transmission range and signal quality.
• Avoid placing the units near other wireless devices (Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) that operate on similar frequencies (5.8GHz) to minimize interference.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the devices. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation holes on the devices are not blocked to prevent overheating.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1. No Signal / Black Screen

• Check Power: Ensure both TX and RX units are properly powered on and their indicator lights are active.
• Check HDMI Cables: Verify that all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source and display devices, and to the TX and RX units. Try swapping cables if possible.
• Source Device Output: Confirm that your source device is outputting a signal and is configured to the correct HDMI output.
• Display Input: Ensure your display device is set to the correct HDMI input channel.
• Re-pair: Power cycle both TX and RX units. They should automatically re-pair.
• Distance/Obstacles: Reduce the distance between TX and RX units or remove any major obstructions.

8.2. Intermittent Signal / Poor Quality Video

• Interference: Move the TX and RX units away from other wireless devices (Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, cordless phones).
• Distance: The signal may be too weak due to excessive distance or too many obstacles. Try moving the units closer.
• Resolution: Ensure your source device's output resolution is supported by the extender and your display. While 4K is supported for casting, the primary operational resolution is 1080P@60Hz.

8.3. KVM Function Not Working

• USB Connections: Verify the USB cable from TX to source device is connected, and keyboard/mouse are connected to RX.
• Driver Issues: On some source devices, USB drivers might need to be updated or reinstalled.
• Compatibility: Ensure your keyboard and mouse are standard USB devices.

8.4. IR Remote Control Not Working

• IR Blaster Placement: Ensure the IR Blaster emitter on the TX side is directly aligned with the IR sensor of your source device.
• IR Receiver Placement: Ensure the IR Receiver on the RX side is positioned to receive signals from your remote control.
• Remote Batteries: Check the batteries in your source device's remote control.
