how to install SIIG 4K60Hz HDMI over Cat6 Extender with Loopout & IR - 50m

To achieve optimal performance, follow these simple steps. Ensure your source device, display, and all cables are within the supported specifications before starting.

Step 1: Connect the HDMI source to the transmitter's HDMI input using a high-quality HDMI cable. Step 2: Connect the transmitter's HDMI loop-out to a local monitor or display if you want to view the source locally. Step 3: Run a Cat6/7 cable from the transmitter to the receiver, keeping the cable as direct as possible to minimize interference. Step 4: Connect the receiver's HDMI output to the destination display using another HDMI cable. Step 5: Plug in power adapters for both the transmitter and receiver so they power up synchronously. Step 6: If you plan to use IR control, position the IR emitter and receiver as directed in the user manual and ensure they have a clear line of sight to the remote control. Step 7: Power on all devices, then configure any source or display settings to ensure resolutions and color formats match your content needs. Step 8: Test the setup by playing content and verifying 4K60Hz playback, proper color, and responsive IR control from the viewing area. If auto downscaling engages, confirm that the destination display correctly shows the reduced resolution without artifacts.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: How far can this extender reliably transmit a 4K60Hz signal?
