Frequently Asked Questions 

 

 

Are all makes of HDTV supported?

 

The  HDMI  standards  imply  that  complete  interoperability  should  be  possible  but 
some  products  may  implement  these  rules  slightly  differently  to  others  leading  to 
complications  with  some  combinations.  See  the  specification  page  for  the  list  of 
resolutions and frame rates supported. Some monitors may have a HDMI connector 
but not support HDCP and will lead to authentication errors. 
 

 

Are all source devices supported?

 

In general most HDMI sources should be supported

 

 

Are all IR remote controls supported?

 

The  unit  operates  an  IR  pass  through  and  requires  no  advance  knowledge  of  the 

codes used and hence supports all 34-38 kHz remote controls

 

 

How do I set up the units?

 

The setup of the units is a simple procedure described in the set up guide

 

 

What is the range of the units?

 

The  range  of  the  units  in  low  loss  cable  is  over  150  meters.  In  a  building  the  exact 
range  will  depend  upon  the  quality  of  the  coaxial  cable  used  the  number  of 
interconnects and splitting sections, the higher the cable loss, the shorter the range. 
Under high loss conditions the signal strength will be seen to be low at start up and 

the units may need repositioning to increase the received signal strength

.  

 

 

Is it possible to upgrade the units?

 

Upgrades  and  additional  features  are  planned  for  the  future  and  will  be  made 
available  on  the  website  for  downloading.  The upgrade  software  is  saved  to  a  USB 
stick  and  is  automatically  loaded  when  connected  to  the  USB  port  of  the  units  and 

the units are power cycled

.  

 

 

Can multiple receivers be connected to the transmitter?

 

This  feature  is  under  development  future  software  upgrades  should  provide  this 
capability.
