Chapter 3: Configuration and Installation
3.4 Connecting the Player and Screen
The HD View HDMI can be used to connect players and screens of HDMI to DVI
ports, by using standard HDMI to DVI cables/adapters. HDMI players can be con-
nected to DVI screens and vice versa.
For HDMI extension:
1. Connect the player to the Transmitter HDMI port using an HDMI cable. See
Figure 3-2.
2. Connect the screen to the Receiver HDMI port using an HDMI cable. See Figure
3-3.
For DVI extension:
1. Connect the player to the Transmitter HDMI port using an HDMI to DVI cable/
adapter. See Figure 3-1.
2. Connect the screen to the Receiver HDMI port using an HDMI to DVI cable/
adapter. See Figure 3-1.
NOTE: In DVI extensions, only video is transferred.
3.5 Selecting the DDC Source
Display Data Channel (DDC) is a VESA standard for communications between a
monitor and a video adapter.
The player can read DDC data either from:
• The screen
OR
• Data previously stored in the Transmitter as explained below
Use the Transmitter’s Stored/Screen selector switch (see Figure 2-1) to choose
between the two options.
Depending on where you select the DDC from, you may or may not have to
connect the DDC CAT5 cable. This is explained in Sections 3.5.1–3.5.4.
NOTE: For HDCP and CEC support, the DDC CAT5 cable must be connected
between the Transmitter and Receiver and the Stored/Screen selector set
to Screen.
