How to install Planar Video Extender Transmitter/Receiver

• Plan your layout: Position the transmitter close to the video source and the receiver near the display; confirm that the Cat7 cable route maintains within the supported distance and avoids potential sources of interference.
• Connect the transmitter: Attach the source device to the transmitter using the appropriate interface, then connect the transmitter to the Cat7 twisted-pair cable via RJ-45. If required by your setup, connect USB devices to the transmitter’s USB port to enable peripheral control and integration.
• Route the cable: Carefully route the Cat7 cable through the environment, keeping it away from high-power wiring and EMI sources. Use cable management tools to protect the line and maintain clean signal paths for optimal performance.
• Connect the receiver: Attach the other end of the Cat7 cable to the receiver, then connect the receiver to the display device. If your workflow requires USB peripherals on the display side, connect them to the receiver’s USB ports as appropriate.
• Power on and test: Apply power to both the transmitter and receiver, then power up the source and display. Verify video and audio transmission, color accuracy, and audio synchronization. If needed, adjust display settings or network configurations to optimize latency and performance for the installed environment.
