Both the transmitter and receiver units come pre-loaded with all operational software
required; the user simply connects the units and powers the units using the supplied wall
plug adaptors. The transmitter and receiver then automatically go through a
configuration routine. When completed the units are ready to stream HD video.
Software updates and functional upgrades will be made available in the future to
enhance the performance of the units. These software upgrades will be available to
download from the company website and should be stored onto a USB stick.
Software upgrades are performed by connecting the USB stick in turn to both
transmitter and receiver units. With the USB stick connected to the USB port the power
is cycled and the upgrade is automatically loaded. If required units can be returned to
the factory default settings by holding down the reset switch and power cycling the unit.
This will return the unit to the original software version as supplied from the factory at
manufacture and should not be done unless instructed by the product support team
.

Troubleshooting guide
General note: Check all connections between transmitter and receiver units with
the source and TV are correct and not damaged. Please refer to the set up
configuration instructions if unsure
.
I do not see a picture on the remote TV
•
Check that the TV is switched on
•
Check the TV is set to display from the HDMI port.
•
Check that the Receiver Green and Blue LED are on (not flashing).
No LED: check the power supply is connected and switched on at
the wall plug.
Blue LED is flashing fast: Wireless not connected.
•
Check Transmitter
•
Reposition of the receiver: signal strength may be too
low or out of range.
Blue LED is flashing slowly: Wireless connected but waiting for
Source input
•
Check Source is switched on
•
Check HDMI cable between Source and TX input
connector.
•
Restart the Receiver (power cycle)
•
Check the HDMI cable between the Receiver unit and TV is connected and
not damaged.
Replace HDMI cable
The picture quality on the remote TV is poor
•
Reposition the Receiver unit: Signal strength maybe too low or on the edge
of range.
Rotate the position of the receiver unit and move it slightly closer
to the transmitter unit.
•
Check the picture quality on the main TV (Transmitter Loop through). If this
is poor then the quality of the input signal is inadequate.
The units will not wirelessly connect
•
Move the receiver closer to the Transmitter (low signal strength)
•
Check there are no big obstructions close to the transmitter or Receiver
units.
•
Check for other sources of interference. (other 5GHz transmitters/Routers)

I get a HDCP warning on the HDTV but no video
•
Some sources have Content Protection & Authentication issues; please
check with the manufacturers for software upgrades.
Disconnecting then reconnecting the HDMI connectors can
sometimes solve the problem.
No sound on the remote TV
•
Check the volume setting on the TV.
•
Check the volume setting on the source.
•
Check the HDMI cable is not damaged, unplug and inspect, reconnect.
•
Restart the Receiver.
I cannot control my source device from the remote location
•
Check the IR Eye is not damaged and is connected correctly to the Receiver
unit
Ensure the IR Eye is positioned correctly to be seen by the
remote control
Check the condition of the batteries in the remote control
•
Check the IR blaster is not damaged and connected correctly to the
Transmitter unit.
Ensure the IR Blaster is positioned correctly to be seen by the
source IR sensor

Frequently Asked Questions
• Are all makes of HDTV supported?
The HDMI standards imply that complete interoperability should be possible but
some products may implement these rules slightly differently to others leading to
complications with some combinations. See the specification page for the list of
resolutions and frame rates supported. Some monitors may have a HDMI connector
but not support HDCP and will lead to authentication errors.
• Are all source devices supported?
In general most HDMI sources should be supported
.
• Are all IR remote controls supported?
The unit operates an IR pass through and requires no advance knowledge of the
codes used and hence supports all 34-38 kHz remote controls
.
• How do I set up the units?
The setup of the units is a simple procedure described in the set up guide
.
• What is the range of the units?
In free space the range of the units is over 200 meters. In a building the exact range
and coverage will depend upon the construction of the walls and obstructions within
the rooms, in some circumstances there may be reception ‘black spots’. Under this
situation the signal strength may be seen to be low at start up and the units may
need repositioning to increase the received signal strength
.
• Is it possible to upgrade the units?
Upgrades and additional features are planned for the future and will be made
available on the website for downloading. The upgrade software is saved to a USB
stick and is automatically loaded when connected to the USB port of the units and the
units are power cycled
.
• Can other transmissions affect the units?
The use of the 5GHz spectrum provides a high degree of isolation from interference
from 2.4GHz wireless routers commonly used in the home for distributing internet
and data. However, other 5GHz sources should not be placed within 3meters of the
units to minimise the risk of interference
.
• Can multiple receivers be connected to the transmitter?
This feature is under development future software upgrades should provide this
capability.
Page 9
• Will the units allow gaming?
The HD Video Streamer is not optimised for fast moving gaming applications. The
encoding and compression techniques used are targeted at efficient and stable video
transmission which introduces a small latency (delay) between the source and the
remote location.
• How long do the units take to configure?
A unit will typically take 1 minute to self-configure and connect.
• Can I use the streamer for standard definition video?
Yes the Video Streamer will transmit both HD and SD video
.
• Can I transmit to mobile devices?
This feature is under development future software upgrades should provide this
capability
• Can I show different channels on the loop through and the remote TV?
The Video Streamer operates as a HDMI extender (repeater), the transmitter unit has
a single HDMI input hence the units will always display the same content on the loop
through port and the remote location. The loop through TV can still display from a
different input (HDMI 2, SCART or other RF) if required.
• How important is the quality of the HDMI cable connecting the units to the
Source or HDTV?
There is a large selection of HDMI cables on the market. It is a question for debate
whether the most expensive cables offer significant improvement over lower priced
cables in a domestic environment. What can be said is that maintaining a good
ground throughout the system is critical and that the inexpensive cables often have a
less effective ground connection which will impact the performance in some
configurations and in some extreme cases will prevent the system working correctly.
• How do I measure the signal strength between the units?
Power cycle the receiver: The received signal strength is displayed on the remote
HDTV when the unit reconnects after a power cycle. The colour coded indicator bar
will help provide an indication of signal strength
.
• What is HDCP?
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection: Intel Corporation developed copy
protection; Implemented through a combination of authentication and encryption to
prevent eavesdropping and illegal reproduction.
