Chapter 3: Initial Installation
3. Initial Installation
1. Using quality HDMI cables, connect an HDMI source (Blu-ray™ disk or PC) to
the HDMI IN connector on the VX-1001-TX Transmitter.
NOTE: Make sure that the source and display are 4K compatible if you are
attempting to transmit an Ultra HD signal—check that all devices are
correctly configured for input/output compatibility.
2. Connect a good quality, well-terminated CAT5e or higher cable between the
HDBaseT OUT of the VX-1001-TX Transmitter to the HDBaseT IN of the
VX-1001-RX Receiver.
NOTE: The maximum transmission distances for the extenders are 230 feet
(70 meters) @ 4K or 328 feet (100 meters) @1080p. This value applies
to perfect transmission conditions—including straight cable runs
with no electrical interference, bends, kinks, patch panels, or wall outlets.
If any of the above is a factor in your installation, transmission range may be
affected—avoid this where possible.
3. Connect the HDMI display device (LED/LCD display or projector) to the HDMI
OUT of the VX-1001-RX Receiver.
NOTE: We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets to secure
the receiver to a flat surface behind/near the display device.
Sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of picture/sound
if connections loosen or strain, resulting in unnecessary service callbacks.
4. Connect the included 12-VDC power supply to the VX-1001-TX Transmitter
and power it on. The PoH function carries power along the length of the
cable one way to power the Receiver. No additional power supply is required
at the display end of the cable run.
Power, Status, and HDCP, and Link LEDs illuminated on both units indicates a
successful connection. An HDCP light illustrates the presence of encryption
within the signal. The Power and Link LEDs are static lights. The Status LED
should be blinking.
