How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series HDMI HDBaseT KVM Console Extender

• Prepare the transmitter (local unit) at the source side: connect the HDMI output from your video source to the transmitter’s HDMI input, attach any USB peripheral you plan to use at the source, and set up the IR emitter/receiver configuration as required by your equipment.
• Run a single Cat6 cable from the transmitter to the remote receiver location. Ensure the cable run is clean, with minimal interference and within the supported distance for your chosen resolution.
• At the remote site, connect the HDMI display to the receiver’s HDMI output and attach USB peripherals to the remote unit’s USB ports for remote operation, such as keyboard and mouse or other compatible devices.
• Power both units: plug in the transmitter and the receiver to their respective power sources, ensuring all indicators light up and your devices are recognized by the connected sources and displays.
• Test and validate: turn on the source device and monitor at the remote site, verify 4K/30 Hz or 1080p performance, check USB peripheral functionality, and confirm IR control from the remote location operates the source as intended. Adjust any EDID or display settings if required by your system configuration.
