How to Install ATEN VE1812

Installing the VE1812 is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime during setup. Follow these steps to deploy a clean, high-performance AV link between your source and display.

• Mount or place the transmitter (TX) unit near the HDMI source and connect the HDMI output from the source device to the TX HDMI input. Use a high-quality HDMI cable to ensure signal integrity for 4K content.
• Connect the VE1812 receiver (RX) unit near the display. Attach the RX HDMI output to the display’s HDMI input with another reliable HDMI cable.
• Run a single Cat5e/6/6a cable between the TX and RX units. This single cable carries video, audio, control signals, and (where supported) POH power to the remote unit.
• If you are using POH, ensure the TX unit is powered according to product instructions and verify that the RX unit is powered through the POH link. If you are not using POH, connect the RX unit to its power adapter as supplied.
• Power on all devices and select the appropriate input on the display. If needed, enable Long Reach Mode on the TX unit to maximize distance for 1080p content. Use the RS-232 or IR passthrough as required to integrate with control systems.
