Connection Steps (Point-to-Point)

1. Connect your HDMI source device (e.g., DVD player, PC) to the Entrada HDMI port of the Transmitter unit using an HDMI cable.
2. (Optional) Connect a local display to the HDMI Local Output port of the Transmitter unit using an HDMI cable to monitor the source.
3. Connecteu el SORTIDA RJ45 port of the Transmitter unit to the RJ45 IN port of a compatible SIIG HDMI IP Extender Receiver unit (sold separately) using a single CAT5e/6 Ethernet cable.
4. Connecteu l'adaptador d'alimentació a DC 5V power jack of the Transmitter unit and plug it into an electrical outlet.
5. Ensure the Receiver unit is also powered on and connected to its display.

Matrix Connection (Many-to-Many)

For a matrix setup, multiple transmitters and receivers are connected via a dedicated unmanaged IGMP Gigabit Switch. This allows any source to be routed to any display.

Imatge: Example of a Many-to-Many Matrix Connection using an IGMP Switch.

1. Connect all HDMI source devices to their respective SIIG HDMI IP Extender Transmitter units via the Entrada HDMI ports.
2. Connecteu el SORTIDA RJ45 port of each Transmitter unit to an available port on a dedicated unmanaged IGMP Gigabit Switch using CAT5e/6 Ethernet cables.
3. Connecteu el RJ45 IN port of each SIIG HDMI IP Extender Receiver unit (sold separately) to an available port on the same IGMP Gigabit Switch using CAT5e/6 Ethernet cables.
4. Connect each Receiver unit to its respective HDMI display via the Sortida HDMI port.
5. Connect power adapters to all Transmitter and Receiver units and plug them into electrical outlets.
6. Important: A dedicated unmanaged IGMP Gigabit Switch is highly recommended for optimal performance and reliability in matrix configurations. Ensure the switch supports IGMP functionality.

Instruccions de funcionament

Encès

After all connections are made, plug in the power adapters for both the Transmitter and Receiver units. The Power LED on the front panel of the Transmitter will illuminate.

TX ID Display

El ID TX display on the front panel shows the identification number of the transmitter. In a matrix setup, each transmitter should have a unique ID for proper routing. Refer to the system's control software manual for configuring TX IDs.

IR Pass-Back Function

To control your HDMI source device from the remote display location:

1. Connect the IR Receiver cable to the IR IN port on the Receiver unit (sold separately). Position the IR receiver eye to face your remote control.
2. Connect the IR Blaster cable to the IR OUT port on the Transmitter unit. Position the IR blaster emitter directly over the IR sensor of your HDMI source device.
3. You can now use your source device's remote control from the display location to send commands back to the source.

Pass-Through RS-232

The RS-232 terminal block allows for serial control of RS-232 enabled devices. Connect your RS-232 control device to the terminal block on either the Transmitter or Receiver unit to extend control signals.

Programari de control de matrius

For matrix configurations, SIIG provides computer control software to manage source selection and switching. Refer to the separate software manual for installation and operation instructions. This software allows you to route any transmitter's signal to any connected receiver.

Resolució de problemes

• Sense imatge/senyal:
  • Ensure all HDMI and Ethernet cables are securely connected.
  • Verify that both the Transmitter and Receiver units are powered on.
  • Check the HDMI source device and display for proper operation.
  • Test with shorter or different HDMI/Ethernet cables.
