Installation

Before you begin the installation:

• Turn off your TV and all HDMI devices. Ensure you have enough HDMI cables for all devices and there are

enough electrical outlets nearby to power all of your devices.

• Position your Transmitter and Receiver up to 100 feet away from each other*. Test the placement for a good

signal prior to permanently installing or mounting everything.

• For best performance and range, place the receiver where you have a clear view between the Transmitter and

Receiver. Do NOT install the Receiver unit behind/below the TV or other metal devices where wireless signal
may experience interference. Do NOT install the Transmitter unit behind/below the Media sources, cabinet or
other metal devices where wireless signal may experience interference.

• Do not block any ventilation openings or install near any heat sources such as radiators, AV receivers, stoves or

other devices that produce heat.

• The included devices shall not be directly exposed to any liquids.

Transmitter Setup

1. Connect your source devices to the
transmitter’s “HDMI IN” ports with
HDMI cables (not included). See
IR Blaster section for IR blaster
installation (optional)

2. For Two TV set-up, connect the
local TV to the transmitter’s
“HDMI OUT” for the
loop-through connection.

3. Connect the power adapter to
the DC socket of the
transmitter to power up the
transmitter. The power LED
blinks in blue initially to search
for the connection (when the unit
is powered off, the LED changes
to Red).

Receiver Setup

1. Connect your TV to the HDMI port of the receiver with the included HDMI cable. Please choose the
appropriate “HDMI” input source on your TV.

2. Connect the supplied power adapter to the mini USB port of the receiver to power up the receiver. If the kit is
in the Standby mode (Both transmitter and receiver POWER LEDs are solid red), press the POWER button
from either Transmitter or Receiver will turn on the whole kit.

3. During the boot-up, the POWER LED will blink in blue until the Transmitter and the Receiver are wirelessly
connected. This may take up to 20 seconds to establish the connection.

Basic Operation

1. Turn on your TV and select the HDMI source input to which the receiver is connected.

2. Turn on your source device and press the SOURCE button on the remote control or on the top of the
receiver / transmitter to select the specific source device (HDMI 1 or HDMI 2).

3. The POWER LED should stay in solid blue and you will see the video being broadcasted from your source
device. If not, please press “INFO” on the remote control and refer to the on-screen-display (OSD)
information below and troubleshooting section.

IR Blaster (Optional)

The Receiver can also send RF signals to the Transmitter. This means that you do not
have to point your remote control at your devices as you may be watching TV in a
different location. Simply point your device’s remote control at the Receiver side and
the Transmitter sends IR commands to other devices allowing you to control your
Blu-ray player or settop box remotely.

1. Plug the IR blaster cable into the IR OUT port of
the transmitter.

2. Refer to your devices’ user manual and locate the
IR sensor. Manually move the IR blaster to identify
a good position of IR response. Securely place
the IR blaster.

3. When the connection is established, the
Transmitter relays infrared commands from your
Receiver to devices. You may need to change the
IR frequency to meet your devices’ IR
specifications. See Troubleshooting for details.

Troubleshooting

Turn on the Transmitter or
receiver from the unit or remote
control

This may take up to 20 seconds

The receiver may be out of the
transmitter’s range. Please shorten
the distance or remove some
obstacles. The maximum video
transmission range for 1080p content
is up to 100 ft*.

Please make sure the device is
powered and securely connected to
the correct input port.

The video frame rate or resolution is
not supported. Please adjust related
settings or connect the source directly
to the TV for further troubleshooting.

3D is supported on 3D-capable TVs
and devices. See EDID section and
your device’s user manual for details.

EDID Management

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is the data provided
by digital displays to indicate their capabilities to video sources.

The Wireless 3D Digital Kit distributes HDMI signals from your
video source to two HDMI displays. In order to deliver the best
audio and video formats supported by both TVs, the kit reads
the EDID information from both displays and determines the
“Best Common” video resolutions and audio format to send to
the video source to program EDID on the device (i.e. Blu-ray
player’s auto resolution setting)

Display A Display B

In order to output the best common resolution, the kit reads the
EDID whenever a TV is plugged in, unplugged, or turned on/off.
You will see both TVs flash couple seconds in order to adjust the
“Best Common” resolution that all devices can handle.

To get the best resolution for a specific TV (i.e. 1080p 3D), you
can manually change the resolution from your video source or
unplug the lower EDID devices then power cycle the kit and
devices. For certain 3D Blu-ray players, you may need to eject

Loop-through TV: 1080p 3D
Remote TV: 720p
Best Common: 720p

and insert the 3D Blu-ray disc. Since your video source is not
outputting the best common resolution, one of your TVs may not
show any content or play audio only. Please refer to your
devices’ user manuals for further instructions.

Mounting the Receiver to the Wall

Stud mounting is recommended. Use proper hardware for your wall type (such as anchors for drywall). When
in doubt, consult your local hardware store. Please use caution and wear proper protection for your safety.
