Introduction
The HDMI KVM IP Extender Set enables the high-resolution transmission of HDMI AV signals in brilliant 4K UHD quality (4096x2160p at 60Hz) over up to 200 meters using CAT6 or higher-quality network cables. Thanks to the integrated KVM function, the mouse, keyboard and touchscreen devices can be used directly on the receiver side, enabling convenient control.
The system impresses with its flexible expandability and supports point-to-point connections as well as point-to-multipoint transmissions with up to 253 receivers. By using an existing 1G network infrastructure or additional network switch, signal transmission can be extended to unlimited distances (cascading). A low latency of only 120 to 170 ms ensures almost delay-free image reproduction in excellent quality. In addition, optional receivers (model: DS-55356) can be purchased separately to extend the range of applications individually. Thanks to its simple connectivity and control, the HDMI KVM IP Extender Set is ideal for companies, conference rooms, digital signage and professional AV applications where reliable, low-latency and high-resolution signal transmission is required.

Connection Diagrams
120 m for one-to-many connection, 200 m for one-to-one connection
One-to-One Connection
Cascading (by network switch): By using the LAN switch/router to realize unlimited extension.
One-to-Many Connection (by network switch): By using network switch, one sender to several receivers to realize extender & splitter function.
Note:
It is recommended that Gigabit Ethernet Switches (1000Mbps) be used in network
Connection Instructions
- Connect the source device to the HDMI In port of the sender (TX) with an HDMI cable and connect the HDMI Out port of the receiver (RX) to the display device with another HDMI cable.
- If it’s a one-to-one connection, use a network cable to connect the RJ45 port of the sender and receiver. If it is a one-to-many connection, use the gigabit switch as a bridge to connect the sender and the receivers with the network cable respectively.
- If using the KVM function, connect the keyboard/mouse to the USB port of the receiver and connect the PC to the USB port of the sender via the USB cable
- Plug the power supply into the devices to get started

FAQ
Q: Display shows: ” Waiting for connection…”
- Please check if the TX (sender) and network switch (if used) and RX (receiver) are connected, and make sure all cable connections are firmly.
- Try “Reset” via button
Q: Display shows “Please check the TX input signal”
- Please check if there is a HDMI signal input on TX
- Try to connect the signal source directly to the display device to see if there is signal output from source device or change the signal sources HDMI cable and try again.
- Try “Reset” via button
