CLK signals.

LINK OFF
(4 LEDs)

• Red indicates a valid link does not exist between the transmitter
and receiver over the COAX cabling for the respective R, G, B,
and CLK signals.

Interconnect the Units

To interconnect the units, do the following:

1. Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI source device such as a router or switch using a
HDMI cable.

2. Connect the Receiver to an audio/video device such as a HD Display, DVD, DVR, etc.,
using a HDMI cable.

3. Interconnect the R, G, B, and CLK BNC connectors on Transmitter and Receiver.
These connections route the HDMI signal from the Transmitter to the Receiver. The
Transmitter and Receiver units may be up to 330 feet apart.

4. Interconnect the PWR BNC connectors on Transmitter and Receiver. These
connections route the 9V DC input power from the Transmitter to the Receiver.

5. Apply power to all connected units. Plug the AC power adapter between a surge­protected power strip and the DC 9V input connector on the Transmitter.
