Troubleshooting
No video signal received
Verify that both transmitter and receiver are powered on and paired. Check HDMI cable connections at both ends. Ensure the video source is outputting a compatible signal (4K/30fps or lower). Try switching to a different frequency band if manual selection is available.
Intermittent signal loss or dropouts
Ensure a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. Minimize potential sources of wireless interference (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, microwaves). Move closer to the receiver or reposition the transmitter. Try switching to the alternative frequency band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).
High latency affecting usability
Ensure you are using the lowest possible resolution and frame rate supported by your workflow. Reduce the distance between transmitter and receiver. Check for any firmware updates for the system, as these often include latency improvements.
Receiver not connecting to transmitter
Perform a manual re-pairing procedure as outlined in the system's manual. Power cycle both devices by turning them off and on again. Ensure no other wireless devices are causing significant interference.
