4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your BovBox Wireless HDMI system:

4.1 Power Connection

1. Connect one end of a USB-C power cable to the 5V/2A port on the Transmitter (TX) unit.
2. Connect the other end of the USB-C power cable to a 5V/2A power adapter (not included) or a compatible power source.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the Receiver (RX) unit.

4.2 Transmitter (TX) Setup

1. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI output of your source device (e.g., PC, laptop, camera, DVD player) to the HDMI IN port on the TX unit.
2. (Optional) Local Loop-Out: If you require a local display to monitor the source content, connect an HDMI cable from the LOOP OUT port on the TX unit to the HDMI input of a local display.
3. (Optional) IR Blaster: For remote control extension, connect the IR Blaster cable to the IR OUT port on the TX unit. Position the IR emitter head directly over the IR sensor of your source device.

4.3 Receiver (RX) Setup

1. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT port on the RX unit to the HDMI input of your display device (e.g., HDTV, projector).
2. (Optional) IR Receiver: For remote control extension, connect the IR Receiver cable to the IR IN port on the RX unit. Position the IR receiver head in a location where your remote control can easily point to it.

4.4 Power On and Connection

Once all connections are made, ensure both the TX and RX units are powered on. The devices are pre-paired from the factory and should automatically establish a wireless connection. The status indicators on both units will confirm successful connection.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Operation

Once the TX and RX units are properly connected and powered, the video and audio signal from your source device will be wirelessly transmitted to the display connected to the RX unit. No additional software or configuration is typically required for basic operation.

5.2 Using the Loop-Out Function

The HDMI LOOP OUT port on the Transmitter (TX) allows you to connect a local display. This is useful for monitoring the source content directly at the source location while simultaneously transmitting the signal wirelessly to a remote display.

5.3 IR Remote Control Extension

With the IR Blaster connected to the TX and the IR Receiver connected to the RX, you can control your source device (e.g., cable box, DVD player) from the location of your remote display. Simply point your remote control at the IR Receiver connected to the RX unit, and the signal will be relayed wirelessly to the IR Blaster at the TX unit, which then controls the source device.

5.4 Multiple Receiver Support (1 TX to 5 RXs)

The BovBox WL082TX&RX system supports connecting one Transmitter (TX) to up to five Receivers (RXs) simultaneously. This allows for broadcasting the same video signal to multiple displays. When adding additional RX units, they must be paired with the TX unit initially. The effective transmission distance decreases with more receivers:

• 1 TX to 1 RX: Up to 1312ft (400m)
• 1 TX to 2 RXs: Up to 820ft (250m)
• 1 TX to 3 RXs: Up to 590ft (180m)
• 1 TX to 4 RXs: Up to 492ft (150m)
• 1 TX to 5 RXs: Up to 328ft (100m)

5.5 Display Modes

Depending on your source device and operating system, the system supports various display modes:

• Duplicate Mode (Mirror): The wireless display mirrors the content of your source device's primary screen.
• Extend Mode: The wireless display acts as an extension of your source device's desktop, providing more screen real estate.
• Second Screen Only Mode: The wireless display becomes the primary display, and the source device's screen is turned off.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BovBox Wireless HDMI system, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the devices. Avoid using liquid or aerosol cleaners, as they may damage the units.
• Environment: Keep the devices in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power adapters and store the units in their original packaging or a protective case.
• Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation around the units to prevent overheating. Do not block any ventilation openings.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BovBox Wireless HDMI system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

7.1 No Signal or Poor Picture Quality

• Power Check: Ensure both the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) units are powered on and their power indicators are lit.
• Cable Connections: Verify that all HDMI cables are securely connected to the correct ports on the source device, TX unit, RX unit, and display.
• Source Output: Confirm that your source device is outputting a video signal. Try connecting the source directly to the display to rule out source issues.
• Distance and Obstructions: Reduce the distance between the TX and RX units. Ensure there are no significant physical obstructions (e.g., thick walls, metal objects) between them that could interfere with the wireless signal.
• Interference: Minimize potential wireless interference from other 2.4GHz or 5GHz devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) by repositioning the units or other devices.
• Resolution Compatibility: Ensure your display device supports the output resolution (1080p@60Hz) from the system.

7.2 IR Remote Control Not Working

• Cable Connections: Check that the IR Blaster cable is connected to the IR OUT port on the TX unit and the IR Receiver cable is connected to the IR IN port on the RX unit.
• Emitter Placement: Ensure the IR Blaster emitter head is positioned directly over the IR sensor of your source device. The exact location of the IR sensor may vary by device.
• Receiver Placement: Make sure the IR Receiver head is positioned where your remote control can easily point to it without obstruction.
• Remote Batteries: Verify that your remote control has fresh batteries.

7.3 Latency Issues

• While the system is designed for low latency (0.05s), some delay may become noticeable over longer distances or when using multiple receivers.
• This product is generally not recommended for applications requiring extremely precise real-time interaction, such as competitive gaming, where even minimal latency can impact performance.

7.4 Power Issues

• Ensure you are using 5V/2A power adapters for both units. Insufficient power can lead to unstable operation.
• If using NP-F series batteries (not included), ensure they are fully charged. The battery low light indicator on the units will signal low power.
