How to use

To set up the system, connect your DisplayPort source and USB host device to the transmitter unit using the provided cables. Connect the receiver unit to your display and peripheral devices such as a keyboard and mouse. Link the transmitter and receiver using a high-quality Cat.5e or Cat.6 network cable. Once all connections are secure, connect the included lockable power supplies to both units. The system will automatically establish the HDBaseT link, allowing for immediate transmission of video and control signals.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network cabling meets the required specifications for HDBaseT transmission.
• Verify that your source device supports DisplayPort 1.2a output.
• Check the physical space requirements for both the transmitter and receiver units.
• Confirm that the intended environment is dry and within the specified operating temperature range.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and signal integrity, always use high-quality, shielded Cat.6 network cables. Avoid coiling excess cable tightly, as this can interfere with signal transmission over long distances. Ensure the units are mounted in a well-ventilated area to maintain the specified operating temperature range during continuous use.
