Cable Connection

Installation of the VM3404H / VM3909H is simply a matter of connecting the
appropriate cables. Refer to the installation diagram on the following page (the
numbers in the diagram correspond to the steps below), and do the following:
1. Use a grounding wire to ground the unit by connecting one end of the wire
to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable
grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.
2. Connect up to 4 (VM3404H) or 9 (VM3909H) HDMI video sources to the
HDMI Input ports
3. You can choose either of these two methods to transmit signals over a

devices directly to the HDBaseT Output ports using a RJ-45 cable.
2. Connect up to 4 (VM3404H) or 9 (VM3909H) HDMI display devices
