This 1x4 18Gbps 4K Audio/Video Extender and Splitter can connect HDMI source equipment and output
displays with different video resolutions and audio output settings. These settings can be individually
programmed using the EDID management function on the transmitter and receivers.

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).
