Preparing your site
1. Set up your local HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA video sources in your desired local
location.
2. Set up your remote display in your desired location.
Notes:
• Ensure that the transmitter and receiver are located near an AC power outlet.
• Ensure all devices are powered o.
Installation
1. Connect each of your video sources to the input ports on the transmitter, using the
required cabling (not included).
2. (Optional for local video output) connect an HDMI cable (not included) to your local
HDMI display and to the transmitter’s HDMI output port.
3. Connect the power adapter port on the extender switch to your AC outlet using the
power adapter, and press the power button to power on the extender switch.
4. Connect an RJ45 terminated CAT5e or CAT6 cable to the HDBaseT output on the
extender switch and to the HDBaseT input port on the receiver.
Important Notes:
• Use only the receivers included with this kit. The included HDBaseT receivers
use 12V POC, mixing hardware with a dierent HDBaseT kit can damage your
equipment.
• Do not route the cable through any networking equipment.
5. Power up each of your devices. The image from your video source will now appear
on your remote display (and local display, if connected in step 2).
6. (Optional for serial control) connect the RJ11 cable (included) to the (Control) RJ11
serial jack on the extender switch and to the RJ11-to-RS232 serial converter. Then
connect a 9-pin serial cable (not included) to the RJ11-to-RS232 converter and to
9-pin serial connector on your computer.
Note: The resolution performance of this extender switch will vary depending on the
length of your cabling. Please review the chart below to determine the best solution
for your setup. For best results, StarTech.com recommends shielded CAT6 cable.

Set EDID
When a video source is connected to a display, the display’s EDID is communicated to
the video source. The display’s EDID is comprised of it’s video and audio capabilities.
Displays sharing their EDID ensures optimal performance, by enabling the source to
automatically align it’s video and audio settings to your display. Improper EDID can
cause issues with your display.
As this switch enables you to connect two displays (one local, one remote) to your
video sources, it’s possible that each display will have a variance of audio and video
capabilities.
To ensure optimal performance across both displays, this HDBaseT switch features
EDID emulation and EDID copy. These features enable you choose which settings will
best harmonize across both of your displays, to ensure optimal performance. Follow
the below steps to emulate and/or copy EDID audio and video.
1. Determine whether your ideal setup will be based on emulating 1080p video and
2-channel audio across both displays, or sharing one of the displays video and/or
audio capabilities across each attached display.
Note: You can copy EDID from either your local or remote display. However, you
cannot copy audio from one and video from the other.
2. Set the Auto Inventory EDID switch to your desired setting based on your
determination in step 1.
The Auto Inventory EDID switch lets you set whether you emulate (Auto) or copy
(Inventory) your EDID settings.
Review the table below to determine what the switch should be set to.
3. If you intend to copy EDID from your remote display, press and hold the EDID
copy button for three seconds until the Remote LED ashes GREEN.
If you intend to copy EDID from your local display, press and hold the EDID copy
button for six seconds until the Local LED ashes Green.
