How to install StarTech.com Video Extender Transmitter/Receiver

Step 1: Connect your HDMI source (such as a Blu-ray player, gaming console, PC, or streaming device) to the Transmitter’s HDMI input using a standard HDMI cable. Ensure the source is powered on and configured to output a compatible resolution.

Step 2: Connect the Receiver to your display (TV, monitor, or projector) using another HDMI cable from the Receiver’s HDMI output. This establishes the display side of the extended link.

Step 3: Link the Transmitter and Receiver with the included dual HDMI 2.1 cable assembly to create the 33 ft (10 m) extended connection. Carefully route the dual-cable pair to maintain signal integrity and avoid sharp bends or kinks.

Step 4: Power on all devices and select the appropriate HDMI input on the display. In most setups, no additional configuration is required—the extended link should negotiate automatically between source and display. If you encounter a blank screen, verify that all connections are secure and that the source output matches the display’s supported resolution.
