Preparing your site
Note:
The ST12MHDLANU HDMI extender kit lets you extend your video and USB
signals over a Gigabit LAN network – beyond the typical cable length restriction of 330
ft. (100m) of Gigabit network portals.
Refer to the manufacturer of the network equipment to determine the length
restriction and to ensure the transmitter unit and receiver unit(s) are all within the
restricted range of the nearest network portal.
Ensure the transmitter unit, and receiver unit(s) are all situated near AC electrical
outlets.
1. Determine where the local video source (i.e. computer, Blu-ray player) will be
located and set up the transmitter device near that location.
2. Determine where the remote display will be located and set up the receiver near
that location.
3. (Optional) If using additional displays determine where they will be located and
set the additional receiver unit(s) near that location.
