2. Power the Receiver: Connect one end of a USB-C power cable to the Receiver unit's USB-C port and the other end to a power adapter. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. Alternatively, use a power bank or compatible NP-F series battery (not included) for portable power.
3. Connect Receiver to Display: Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT port on the Receiver unit to the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor).
4. Power the Transmitter: Connect the second USB-C power cable to the Transmitter unit's USB-C port and the other end to its power adapter. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. Similar to the receiver, a power bank or NP-F series battery can be used.
5. Connect Transmitter to Source: Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI IN port on the Transmitter unit to the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., laptop, camera, set-top box, PC, DV).

6. Automatic Pairing: The Transmitter and Receiver units are designed to pair automatically within seconds. No manual pairing or software configuration is typically required. Wait for the connection indicator lights on both units to show a stable connection.

Note: For optimal performance, ensure a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver, especially for longer distances. Walls and other obstructions can reduce the effective transmission range.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the setup is complete and the units are paired, the system operates automatically.

• Power On: Ensure both the Transmitter and Receiver units are powered on.
• Source Device Output: Ensure your source device (laptop, camera, etc.) is outputting video via its HDMI port.
• Display Input: Set your display device (TV, projector) to the correct HDMI input channel where the Receiver is connected.
• Signal Transmission: The video and audio signal from your source device will be wirelessly transmitted to your display.
• One-Button Sync: If pairing is lost or you need to re-sync, press the sync button on both the Transmitter and Receiver units simultaneously.

5.2. Transmission Range and Performance

The device offers a long-range 5GHz dual-antenna transmission, minimizing interference and ensuring stable signal coverage.

• Line-of-Sight (LOS) Range: Up to 1640 feet (500 meters).
• Through-Wall Penetration: Effective range is reduced when transmitting through walls or obstructions. Typical ranges are 164-295 feet (50-90 meters) through complex home environments.
• Latency: The system is designed for low latency, suitable for video streaming and presentations. Note: Not recommended for gaming due to potential minor latency.
