III. Operation

The LEDs on the Extender Units show the real-time status indicating the linking and communication between the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit. Users can identify the current status through the LED indicators on the unit.

The quality of the output signal will depend largely upon the quality of video source, cable and display device used. Low quality cables degrade output signal causing elevated noise levels. Please use the proper cable and make sure the display device is capable of handling the resolution and refresh rate selected.

NOTE:

The system will disable the video output signal when it detects non-HDCP compliant display(s) on playing the HDCP video source. All the connected output displays MUST be HDCP compliant, when the video source is HDCP compliant.
