INSTALLATION
The transmitters and receivers are plug and play. Diagnosis is done via the status lights on the
devices. There is no online device management with this product.
1.1 CONNECT DIRECTLY. Use CAT6 cable up to 150 metres (4 ft) long. With very high quality
cable 150 m (492 ft) is possible.
1.2 CONNECT VIA NETWORK. By routing via the network there is no cable length limitation as
the signal is repeated at every node.
NOTES: All items must be on same subnet. Microwave transmitters typically do not provide
enough bandwidth for this product. 18Mbps per receiver required.

7
TC-HDMIIP_manual_en.doc
1.3 CONNECT VIA NETWORK – MULTICASTING (DISTRIBUTION). All receivers will display the
same image and audio.
NOTE: Multicasting uses more bandwidth. Vision recommends using a standalone Gigabit
switch. It can be an unmanaged switch since IGMP snooping DOES NOT need to be activated.
MULTIPLE TRANSMITTERS
Only ONE transmitter can be used on a network. Setting up a virtual LAN does not allow you to
use more transmitters.
IR DISTRIBUTION
This product passes the IR signal from the display end back to the source end. Supports most
infrared signals from 20-60kHz.
