Chapter 2: Overview

2.6.3 Indicators

The LEDs on the extender units show the real-time status indicating the linking and communication between the Transmitter/Sender unit and the Receiver unit. Users can identify the current status through the LED indicators on the unit.

The quality of the output signal will depend largely upon the quality of the video source, cable, and display device used. Low-quality cables degrade output signals, causing elevated noise levels. Use the proper cable and make sure the display device can handle the resolution and refresh rate selected.

NOTE: The system will disable the video output signal when it detects non-HDCP-

compliant display(s) trying to play on the HDCP video source. All the connected output displays MUST be HDCP compliant when the video source is HDCP compliant.

2.6.4 Function Buttons (F1 and F2)
