how to install SIIG 4K HDR HDMI 2.0 & USB 2.0 Extender Over HDBaseT with RS-232 & IR

• Place the transmitter near your HDMI source and the receiver near the remote display. Ensure both units have access to power adapters and are within optimal distance allowed by your CAT5e/6 cable.
• Connect the HDMI output of your source device to the transmitter’s HDMI input using a standard HDMI cable. Connect the display’s HDMI input to the receiver’s HDMI output with another HDMI cable.
• Run a single CAT5e/6 Ethernet cable from the transmitter to the receiver. This cable carries video, audio, USB 2.0, RS-232, and IR signals over the HDBaseT link.
• Attach USB peripherals (if needed) to the transmitter or receiver’s USB ports according to the user’s desired control flow, then connect any RS-232 and IR devices to the respective ports at the remote end.
• Plug in power supplies for both transmitter and receiver units, power on the source and display, and configure input/source settings if necessary to achieve the desired resolution and display alignment.
