Installation
Important! Before starting the installation, please ensure that all devices are powered off.
VERY IMPORTANT: never use a network connection with any active LAN components for the
HDBaseT link
– this may destroy the Extender !!!
The following steps are for an installation using HDMI equipment, if you are using DVI equipment, please
substitute the HDMI cables for DVI to HDMI cables where required.
1.
Connect an HDMI source to the HDMI Extender Transmitter unit using a HDMI cable (maximum
length 10m). If required you may connect a local HDMI monitor during installation
– this monitor
must be disconnected when the HDBaseT connection is being used.
2.
Connect one end of the Cat.6/7 cable (max. length 100m) to the HDBaseT link port on the
Transmitter and the other end to the Receiver. Use solid core installation cable of at least Cat.6
UTP.
3.
Use another HDMI cable (maximum length 10m) to connect an HDMI display device to the HDMI
output port on the Receiver unit.
4.
For RS-232 Extender functionality, connect a DB-9 cable on the Transmitter and on the Receiver.
5.
For additional Infrared remote signal functionality, connect the included IR cables to the units and
place the transmitter in front of the HDMI device’s IR receiver.
6.
For Ethernet functionality, connect the devices to the 10/100Base-T ports.
7.
Plug the DC power supply into the HDMI transmitter unit and switch on.
8.
Power on an HDMI Source and Display to complete the installation.
9.
The LINK Led on the Transmitter and Receiver will illuminate when the HDBaseT Link between
the Transmitter and Receiver is established.
Troubleshooting
There is no display on the screen.
▪
Check that the DC plug and jack used by external power supply are firmly connected. The Power LED
must be lit. If the LED is not lit on Transmitter please check/replace the power supply. If the LED is not
lit on Receiver but is lit on the Transmitter please re-check both units by connecting them with a short
(~2m) patch cable. If the situation remains please contact LINDY Tech Support.
▪
Check that the Cat.6/7 cable is plugged in correctly and that both Link Status LED are lit.
▪
Check that the HDMI source and display are both powered on and active.
▪
When using the HDBaseT link the local monitor on Transmitter HDMI Bypass port MUST be
disconnected!
▪
Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the Transmitter unit, then the display and
finally the HDMI source.
▪
For several HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and re-plug their HDMI connection to re-initiate
the HDMI handshake and recognition.
▪
Reduce the length of Cat.6/7 or HDMI cable used, or use a higher quality cable.
