FAQs
Does this amplifier require external power?
It can draw power from the HDMI cable itself, but for optimal and stable performance, especially with longer cable runs or high resolutions like 4K/60Hz, using the included Micro USB power cable connected to a 5V USB power source is recommended.
What is the maximum resolution and distance supported?
It supports 4K/60Hz up to 25 meters, 4K/30Hz up to 40 meters, and 1080p up to 50 meters. These are the total lengths including the cables connected to the amplifier.
Can I connect two of these amplifiers together?
While technically possible, chaining multiple active repeaters is not officially supported and may lead to signal degradation or compatibility issues. It's generally recommended to use a single amplifier for a given extension.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 36-month manufacturer warranty.
Will this work with HDR content?
Yes, the HDMI 2.0 specification and 18 Gbps bandwidth support HDR content, provided your source device, cables, and display are also HDR compatible.
Do I need to install any drivers?
No, this is a plug-and-play device. No drivers or software installation are required.
Troubleshooting
No signal or intermittent signal.
Ensure both HDMI cables are securely connected. Try connecting the Micro USB power cable to a reliable USB power source. Test with shorter HDMI cables to rule out cable issues. Verify the resolution and refresh rate settings on your source device are supported by the cable length used.
Picture is distorted or has artifacts.
This often indicates a weak signal. Connect the Micro USB power cable to a 5V USB power source. Ensure the total cable length (source to amplifier + amplifier to display) does not exceed the recommended limits for the resolution you are using. Test with different HDMI cables.
Device does not power on.
Check the Micro USB cable connection to the amplifier and the power source. Ensure the USB power source provides at least 5V/1A. The device may also draw power from the HDMI cable, but external power is recommended for stability.
