HDBaseT™ Receiver - Part Number 280791 The Vanco 280791 HDMI Receiver uses HD Base T technology to transport a HDMI signal from the Vanco 280799 HDMI 16x16 Matrix Switch and from the Vanco 280759 HDMI 8x8 Matrix Switch. This allows the HDMI signal to be transported a maximum distance of 100 meters (328 ft) while using a single Cat-5e or Cat 6 UTP cable as the transmission media.

A second stage of verifying the content of the EEPROM follows, also with a progress percentage report NOTE: For RS-232 control signal transmission, just connect two RS-232 cables to both RS-232 ports of Extender Transmitter or Matrix Switch and the Receiver, they work like an RS-232 extension cable. SPECIFICATIONS Operating Temperature Range ........
TROUBLE-SHOOTING 1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions differ, the splitters will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HD TV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HD TV sets. 2.
