IR Transmitter (Blaster) Cable IR Receiver Cable
IR Transmitter Cable: Connect to the IR-T port on the Transmitter box. Requires line-of-sight with
the HDMI source equipment IR window. Tip: Shine a light on the source box to reveal the IR
window, if it is not labeled. Source equipment should be within 5 feet of the IR-T bulb. (Check your
HDMI source equipment documentation).
IR Receiver Cable: Connect to the IR-R port on the Receiver box. Requires line-of-sight with the
IR remote.
Note: RF and Bluetooth remotes are not compatible.
3.6 IR Remote Control
3.7 Troubleshooting Notes
• Check that all connected equipment have power.
• Check that both the Transmitter and Receiver have power. The red power LED on the Transmitter
and green LED of the Cat 6 port on the Receiver should be lit.
• Check the LEDs on the Receiver’s Ethernet port. A green LED indicates the receiver is powered.
An orange LED indicates data transfer.
• Check that all cables are connected to the correct input and output ports. Secure the power cable
with the locking ring.
• Directly connect the HDMI source equipment to each display to test for compatibility.
• Test the Cat 6 cable with a network tester.
• Try different EDID settings, test with only 1 display (local and extended).
• Test with a different display for compatibility issues.
• Check that the correct video input source and output display is selected.
• Check the audio output settings from the source device or computer.
• Try a lower resolution and/or refresh rate.

• Test each HDMI cable by connecting it with other equipment.
• Recommended maximum total HDMI cable distance In/Out is 25/25ft.
• Connecting an HDMI cable with a coupler or wall plate may degrade the signal transmission.
• Place the Extender away from fluorescent lighting or equipment that generates electrical noise.
• A ‘Not Supported’ error message may indicate that the connected equipment does not support
HDCP (or more than 2 outputs) for viewing content-protected video.
• Check that the IR window on the source equipment is not blocked. The IR cables require line-of-
sight. Test at a closer range, some IR remotes transmit a weaker signal.
• Wait 10 seconds for a handshake signal when connecting a computer.
• Unplug and re-plug the HDMI cable.
• Reboot the video source and output displays.
• If Dolby Vision does not work, set the EDID to copy the OUTPUT the Dolby Vision-compatible
television or monitor is connected to (values 22-26 on the chart on Page 6).
