How to use

Connect the transmitter unit to the HDMI source and the HVE-9211PR receiver to the display using HDMI cables. Link transmitter and receiver with a Cat5e or Cat6 cable up to 100 m. If available, enable PoE on the network switch or power the receiver per the product guidelines. Use the receiver’s EDID and HDCP handling to ensure proper handshake between source and display. Control connected devices remotely via RS-232 or IR routed through the Cat cable.

Recommendations

For reliable 4K transmission, use high-quality Cat6 cable and keep cable runs within 100 m. If power-over-Ethernet is not available, provide appropriate external power to the transmitter/receiver per the manufacturer instructions. Confirm EDID settings during initial setup to match source and display capabilities.
