Scalability
There are two types of methods to extend the system scale:
Cascade a receiver with a broadcaster/transmitter to increase the distance of
the system
Cascade a broadcaster with a broadcaster/transmitter to increase the
number of supported displays

Cascading to Increase the Distance
Cascade up to six distribution systems to increase the distance up to 200m (660ft).
Figure 11
illustrates a 2-hop cascaded system.

To connect the receiver to the broadcaster/transmitter, connect the following
cables (see

):
HDMI to HDMI (type A, male/male)
For serial control: Serial cable - (9-pin D-sub male/female).
