Step 6. The AnyWire Transmitter/Receiver pair allows IR pass-through from the receiver (far side) to the transmitter (near side). An IR
emitter is included with the TP315-103 and may be connected to the HDMI source allowing control from a remote control
connected to the receiver on the far side of the AnyWire installation. The AnyWire receiver includes an IR receiver.

5. About Your TP315-103
HDMI over AC-extension cord
Automatic input/receiver detection
HDMI resolutions 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
Transmission up to 100 ft. (30 m)
IR pass-through control
Local monitor output
Attached 9 ft. AC input cord
The TP315-103 HDMI over AnyWire transmitter allows the transmission of 1080P HDMI signals up to 100 ft. (30 m) using a standard
AC extension cord. A single transmitter may drive up to 4 receivers using either 4 individual extension cords from the transmitter, or by
daisy chaining the receivers. The only restriction being the extension cords from the transmitter to each receiver cannot be bundled
together as crosstalk occurs.
The TP315-103 is a simple and economical solution for many audiovisual installations. The AC extension cord makes installation easy
without the need to cut and splice wires and install expensive connectors or purchase costly cables. Simply route the extension cords,
connect the AnyWire receiver AC cords to the extension cord, and then plug the TV into the receiver. That's it!
The unique design of the AnyWire Transmitter provides stable video transmission over greater distances than other designs. IR
pass-through for receiver side to transmitter side control is provided without corrupting the HDMI signal during transmission of IR
signals.
Operation does not require any user control or interaction. Simply connect the HDMI input and the transmitter scans for the receiver
and when detected automatically pairs to the receiver and begins video transmission.
A local video output is provided to support a local monitor. The local monitor allows the user on the transmitter side to know what is
being presented on the far side of the installation. One of the AC receptacles on the transmitter can be used to power the local monitor
if only 3 receivers are being used or if the receivers are daisy-chained at the far end.

7. Operation
The TP315-103 requires no adjustments for performance.
Once set-up, the TP315-103 AnyWire Transmitter will work
trouble-free without user intervention.
7.1 Reset Button
A reset button is provided on the side of the unit to allow a
forced reset without having to disconnect power. Use this only
if there are problems connecting to the receiver; typically, after
a new display is installed or after a power outage.
8. Troubleshooting Guide
We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied TP315-103. However, we would like to offer suggestions for the
following:
AnyWire
Symptom
Resolution
LEDs on Are Off
The unit may not be receiving power.
1. Make sure the power adapter is plugged into a working AC outlet.
2. Use only the power adapter provided.
3. The Connected LED should be on and green.
Data Transmission
LED is flashing very
slow
The transmitter and receiver are not communicating.
1. Make sure the receiver is powered on.
2. Press the reset button on the side of the unit or reset power to force the transmitter to try and
re-establish a connection.
No Display
The HDMI input signal may be missing.
1. Check the source and make sure there is a signal present.
2. Make sure the source resolution is set to 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
3. Make sure the monitor is turned on.
4. Verify the monitor is connected to the TP315-104 Receiver's HDMI output
5. Make sure the monitor's correct HDMI input number is selected.
Poor Output Image
1. The source resolution may not be compatible with the projector or other display device. Try
other resolutions from the source.
2. The source and display may not be compatible. Connect the source directly to the input of the
projector or other display device. If the image is poor the devices may be incompatible.
3. If using multiple receivers, make sure that the transmission lines are not bundled together at any
point in the transmission. If the cables are bundled (zip tied together) this causes crosstalk
between the different channels and can result in image problems.
