How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 8-Port DisplayPort to HDMI over Cat6 Splitter/Extender

• Plan your layout: Identify the DisplayPort source location and map where each of the eight displays will be placed. Ensure your Cat6 runs reach all display locations and that the environments support stable video performance.
• Connect the DisplayPort source: Attach the DisplayPort output from your computer, media player, or presentation device to the transmitter’s DisplayPort input.
• Lay out Cat6 cabling: Run Cat6 cables from the transmitter to each remote receiver location. Use cable management to protect lines and minimize interference.
• Attach HDMI displays: At each display location, connect the HDMI output from the corresponding remote receiver to the HDMI input on the screen. Use quality HDMI cables to preserve signal integrity.
• Enable PoC if applicable: If your setup supports Power over Cable, connect the transmitter’s PoC power requirement to the appropriate power source and rely on Cat6 to power remote receivers where supported.
• Configure display and source settings: On your source device, set the output resolution to 4K at 60 Hz if your displays and receivers support it. Adjust EDID preferences on the source if required to ensure consistent multi-screen output.
• Test and calibrate: Power on all displays and verify that each screen shows the correct portion of the video feed. Confirm audio is routed to the HDMI outputs and synchronize timing across displays for a cohesive presentation.
• Secure and finalize installation: Affix cables neatly, secure mounting where needed, and document cable routes for future maintenance or upgrades. If using PoC, ensure all safety guidelines are followed for powered components.
