- Qabbad id-Displej Lokali (Mhux obbligatorju): If you wish to have a local display near the source, connect it to the HD OUT (loop out) port on the transmitter unit using an HDMI cable.
- Qabbad Kejbils Ethernet: Connect up to four CAT5e/6/7 Ethernet cables from the UTP output ports on the transmitter to the UTP input ports on each of the four receiver units. Ensure the cables are of good quality and within the maximum recommended length (up to 196ft for 4K@60Hz).
- Connect Receivers to Displays: Connect each receiver unit's HD OUT port to its respective display (e.g., TV, monitor, projector) using an HDMI cable.
- Qabbad il-Kejbils tal-IR (Mhux obbligatorju):
- Qabbad il- IR TX cable lill- IR OUT port on the transmitter. Position the IR emitter head near the IR sensor of your source device.
- Qabbad il- IR RX cables lill- IR IN ports on each receiver. Position the IR receiver head in a location where it can easily receive signals from your remote control.
- Qawwa Mixgħul: Connect the DC 12V power adapter to the transmitter unit. The PWR LED on the transmitter should illuminate. Since the receivers are powered via POC (Power over Cable), they do not require separate power adapters.
- Power On Displays and Source: Power on all connected displays and your HDMI source device.
- Ivverifika s-Sinjal: Check each display for the video signal. The STA LEDs on both the transmitter and receivers should indicate a stable connection.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Once the system is set up, operation is straightforward:
- Video Distribution: The HDMI signal from your source will be automatically distributed to all connected displays via the transmitter and receivers.
- Kontroll IR: Use your original remote control at any receiver location. The IR RX cable will capture the signal, send it back through the Ethernet cable to the transmitter, and the IR TX cable will relay it to your source device, allowing you to control the source remotely.
- Ġestjoni EDID: The EDID switch on the transmitter allows you to manage the Extended Display Identification Data. This can help resolve compatibility issues between the source and displays by ensuring the source outputs a resolution and format supported by all connected displays. Refer to the specific EDID settings in the full user manual for advanced configurations.
- Loop Out HDMI: The HDMI loop out port on the transmitter provides a convenient way to connect a local display, allowing you to monitor the source content directly at the transmitter location.
