Installation

Troubleshooting

Verify that the distance between the HDMI Transmitter and Receiver are within
MuxLab specifications (see Specifications table).

In order to install the Transmitter, please follow the steps below:

1. Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant

cable.

2. Connect two (2) lengths of Cat5e (or higher) grade UTP cables to the Video

and DDC OUT connectors on Transmitter.

In order to install the Receiver, please follow the steps below:

3. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI

compliant cable.

4. Connect the two (2) Cat5e cables to the Video and DDC IN connectors of the

Receiver.

Note: Verify that the cables are connected straight-through (i.e. Video to

Video, DDC to DDC) and not inverted.

5. Connect the 12 VDC power supply first to the Receiver and then plug the power

supply into an AC power outlet. If power is present, then the green power LED will
be ON.

Note: Power the HDMI Extender Balun only after all connections are made.

6. Power on the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.
