CONNECT AND OPERATE

Connect the signal source such as Blu-Ray Player, Play Station 3, audio/video receiver, cable or satellite 
receivers and computers equipped with HDMI output interfaces with a short high-speed HDMI cable to the 
HDMI splitter input.
 
Connect the splitter output RJ-45 ports using dual-runs of Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP cables to included receivers, 
which do not require a power supply. It is strongly recommended that factory terminated cable assemblies be 
used and their length shall not exceed 100 ft of Cat 5e and 110 ft of Cat 6. 

Connect the HDMI output from the receivers to high-definition display devices such as HD-LCD, HD-DLP 
and HD projectors with HDMI input interfaces. Use high-speed HDMI cables that are recommended for the 
distances that are required for each connection.
 
These splitters are powered by an external power supply which is included. Connect power first to the source, 
then to the splitters and then to each HD TV or projector. 

The splitter can be controlled from the display. This is accomplished by using an optional IR Receiver pigtail 
(Part # 280721) pointing away from the display(s), which can be connected to the receiver boxes at each 
display. The IR Transmitter pigtail (Part # 280720) is then connected to the splitter and pointed at the 
source(s). A remote control is used at the display to select the splitter inputs and outputs.

While playing HD audio and video content, turn on each HD TV set in order starting with that connected to 
output port 1 on the splitter and use the “Information” button on the remote to check for a 1080p/60 Hz, 120 
Hz or 24 Hz resolution. If you have difficulty getting a picture, go to the TV’s “set-up menu” and adjust the 
resolution. A 24 Hz vertical refresh rate may work better than a 60 Hz or higher, vertical refresh rate and is 
currently used for 3-D programming.
