Device Overview

Receiver Panel
The receiver features a 2-pin SET switch, Power/Status/Link LEDs, a Micro USB port, 12V power input, HDBT In, RS232 port, HDMI Out, Audio Out, and 4 USB 2.0 Type-A ports for peripherals.
Installation and Application
Connect your HDMI source to the Transmitter's HDMI In port and your USB host (e.g., PC) to the USB Host port. Connect the Transmitter to the Receiver using a Cat 6/6A/7 cable via the HDBT ports. Connect your display to the Receiver's HDMI Out port and USB peripherals to the USB Device ports. Power can be supplied to either unit using the included 12V adapter, as the system supports one-way PoC (Power over Cable).
