how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 4-Port HDMI over Cat6 Extender Kit

• Plan your layout: Determine the location of the HDMI source, transmitter, and the three displays. Route Cat6 cables from the transmitter to each remote receiver, ensuring you use quality shielded cables for best results.
• Connect the source: Attach your HDMI source (such as a Blu-ray player, media player, or computer) to the transmitter’s HDMI input with a standard HDMI cable.
• Link the Cat6 runs: Connect Cat6 cables from the transmitter to each remote receiver's input. If you are using PoC, these cables will also carry power to the remote receivers.
• Connect displays: Connect each remote receiver’s HDMI output to its corresponding display using HDMI cables. If the transmitter provides a local output, connect the local display to that port as well.
• Power setup: Enable PoC to power remote receivers over the Cat6 runs, or supply power locally to any receiver or the transmitter as required by your installation. Power on all devices.
• Configure displays and source: Turn on the source and displays, then configure EDID settings if needed to optimize compatibility and ensure 4K@60 Hz HDR playback.
• Test and validate: Play content to verify 4K performance, HDR fidelity, and smooth playback on all connected displays. Check color accuracy and alignment across displays and adjust settings as needed.
