Wireless considerations
The HDMI wireless kit let you access your video signal using a wireless connection from
virtually anywhere within the operation range. Keep in mind, however, that the number,
thickness and location of the wall and ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signal must
pass through, may limit the range. Typically range depending on the type of material and
background RF noise in your home and business. The key to maximizing the wireless range
is to follow the basic guideline.
1.
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the Transmitter and Receiver to the
minimum. Each wall and ceiling can reduce your transmission range from 3-90 feet (1-
30M). For the best result, position your device so the number of walls and ceilings is
minimal.
2.
Be aware the direct line of the Transmitter and Receiver. A wall that is 1.5 feet (0.5M)
thick, at a 45 degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 M) thick. At a 2 degree angle
it looks like over 42 feet (14M) thick! Position device so that the signal will travel
straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of with an angle) for a much better reception.
3.
Building material make difference. A solid material door or an aluminium studs may
have a negative effect on the kit’s range. Try to position the transmission line to drywall
of open doorways. Material such as glass, steel, metal, wall with insulation, water (fish
tank), mirrors, files cabinets and brick concrete wall will reduce your signal.
4.
If you are using 5.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fan,
lights, and home security system), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically
or drop complete. Make sure your 5.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless
devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.
