Both the transmitter and receiver units come pre-loaded ith all operational soft are
required; the user simply connects the units and po ers the units using the supplied
all plug adaptors. The transmitter and receiver then automatically go through a
configuration routine. When completed the units are ready to stream HD video.
Soft are updates and functional upgrades ill be made available in the future to
enhance the performance of the units. These soft are upgrades ill be available to
do nload from the company ebsite and should be stored onto a USB stick.
Soft are upgrades are performed by connecting the USB stick in turn to both
transmitter and receiver units. With the USB stick connected to the USB port the po er
is cycled and the upgrade is automatically loaded. If required units can be returned to
the factory default settings by holding do n the reset s itch and po er cycling the unit.
This ill return the unit to the original soft are version as supplied from the factory at
manufacture and should not be done unless instructed by the product support team .

Troubleshooting guide
General note: Check all connections between transmitter and receiver units with
the source and TV are correct and not damaged. Please refer to the set up
configuration instructions if unsure .
I do not see a picture on the remote TV
• Check that the TV is s itched on
• Check the TV is set to display from the HDMI port.
• Check that the Receiver Green and Blue LED are on (not flashing).
No LED: check the po er supply is connected and s itched on at
the all plug.
Blue LED is flashing fast: Receiver is not connected.
• Check Transmitter
• Check the coax connection from transmitter to
receiver.
Blue LED is flashing slo ly: Connected but aiting for Source
input
• Check Source is s itched on
• Check HDMI cable bet een Source and TX input
connector.
• Restart the Receiver (po er cycle)
• Check the HDMI cable bet een the Receiver unit and TV is connected and
not damaged.
Replace HDMI cable
• Check the picture quality through the coaxial RF output port directly to the
TV RF input
The picture quality on the remote TV is poor
• Check the coax connection from transmitter to receiver.
• Reposition the Receiver unit: Signal strength maybe too lo or on the
edge of range.
• Check the picture quality on the main TV (Transmitter Loop through). If
this is poor then the quality of the input signal is inadequate.

I get an HDCP warning on the HDTV but no video
• Some sources have Content Protection & Authentication issues; please
check ith the manufacturers for soft are upgrades.
 Disconnecting then reconnecting the HDMI connectors can
sometimes solve the problem.
No sound on the remote TV
• Check the volume setting on the TV.
• Check the volume setting on the source.
• Check the HDMI cable is not damaged, unplug and inspect, reconnect.
• Restart the Receiver (po er cycle).
I cannot control my source device from the remote location
• Check the IR Eye is not damaged and is connected correctly to the
Receiver unit
Ensure the IR Eye is positioned correctly to be seen by the
remote control
Check the condition of the batteries in the remote control
• Check the IR blaster is not damaged and connected correctly to the
Transmitter unit.
 Ensure the IR Blaster is positioned correctly to be seen by the
source IR sensor .
• Ensure any inline amplifiers have a HDMI bypass kit fitted to allo
correct control of the IR sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
•Are all makes of HDTV supported?
The HDMI standards imply that complete interoperability should be possible but
some products may implement these rules slightly differently to others leading to
complications with some combinations. See the specification page for the list of
resolutions and frame rates supported. Some monitors may have a HDMI connector
but not support HDCP and will lead to authentication errors.
•Are all source devices supported?
In general most HDMI sources should be supported .
•Are all I remote controls supported?
The unit operates an I pass through and requires no advance knowledge of the
codes used and hence supports all 34-38 kHz remote controls .
•How do I set up the units?
The setup of the units is a simple procedure described in the set up guide .
•What is the range of the units?
The range of the units in low loss cable is over 150 meters. In a building the exact
range will depend upon the quality of the coaxial cable used the number of
interconnects and splitting sections, the higher the cable loss, the shorter the range.
Under high loss conditions the signal strength will be seen to be low at start up and
the units may need repositioning to increase the received signal strength .
•Is it possible to upgrade the units?
Upgrades and additional features are planned for the future and will be made
available on the website for downloading. The upgrade software is saved to a USB
stick and is automatically loaded when connected to the USB port of the units and
the units are power cycled .
•Can multiple receivers be connected to the transmitter?
This feature is under development future software upgrades should provide this
capability.
Page 8

•Will the units allow gaming?
The HD Video Streamer is not optimised for fast moving gaming applications. The
encoding and compression techniques used are targeted at efficient and stable video
transmission which introduces a small latency (delay) between the source and the
remote location.
•How long do the units take to configure?
A unit will typically take 1 minute to self-configure and connect.
•Can I use the streamer for standard definition video?
Yes the Video Streamer will transmit both HD and SD video .
•Can I transmit to mobile devices?
This feature is under development future software upgrades should provide this
capability
•Can I show different channels on the loop through and the remote TV?
The Video Streamer operates as a HDMI extender (repeater), the transmitter unit has
a single HDMI input hence the units will always display the same content on the loop
through port and the remote location. The loop through TV can still display from a
different input (HDMI 2, SCA T or other F) if required.
•How important is the quality of the HDMI cable connecting the units to
the Source or HDTV?
There is a large selection of HDMI cables on the market. It is a question for debate
whether the most expensive cables offer significant improvement over lower priced
cables in a domestic environment. What can be said is that maintaining a good
ground throughout the system is critical and that the inexpensive cables often have a
less effective ground connection which will impact the performance in some
configurations and in some extreme cases will prevent the system working correctly.
•How do I measure the signal strength between the units?
Power cycle the receiver: The received signal strength is displayed on the remote
HDTV when the unit reconnects after a power cycle. The colour coded indicator bar
will help provide an indication of signal strength .
•What is HDCP?
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection: Intel Corporation developed copy
protection; Implemented through a combination of authentication and encryption to
prevent eavesdropping and illegal reproduction.
