• Run a single Cat5e/6/7 cable from the transmitter to the receiver, keeping the routing tidy and away from sources of interference. The Cat5e/6/7 link carries both video/audio and USB signals for a streamlined installation.
• Connect the HDMI output on the receiver to your display device (screen or projector) using a standard HDMI cable. If you plan to use USB peripherals at the display end, connect them to the USB 2.0 input on the transmitter as needed for your workflow.
