Used to split sky box to 4 TV. Easy setup and works as it should, was worried about a few negative reviews but a case of plug in and play,replacement for a much higher priced item that has unreliable.
I have ran Cat5e 350 MHz/outdoor/tack cable and it was perfect. For the longer runs you will have to toggle the si switches on each endpoint. The extender is really sensitive to lengths in my case. Maybe Cat67/8 maybe not be as sensitive. However the dip switch at each endpoint will let you know by either not displaying or flickering. I good product for small church runs. Will need to upgrade to more interfaces like 8 in the near future. A very good product especially for the end point not to have power on the other end. I also do did not use the IR as I never have any luck with them working. I am sure they are fine, cobble be user error.
First product was not working properly, but great customer service provided a replacement within a few days so, kudos to the company. Replacement product has been working great for two months. Product specs require cat 6 wiring for full capabilities, but I mainly use it for 720P resolution. Product also appears to work well at 720P even over category 5 at distances of less than about 100 foot. So for existing older cat 5 wiring that would be difficult to replace, the product offers some additional (unclaimed) capabilities.
Overall a good, solid product. Just be mindful of your Cat 5/6 cable length run. I initially tried running 100ft cable and i could not get any image. The extender displayed “out of range” on the tv’s. However once i cut the cable down to 50ft lengths, I had full image across all 5 tv’s without issues. The primary box is easy to setup with the quick sheet provided. Just flip a few dip switches on each extender and also on the main box and you are set to go. Very impressed with performance and quality of product.
I purchased this for a job that would be transmitting media to 8 different monitors. Ultimately it is performing (2 more monitors to go) But it was not with making a lot of adjustments to the EDID and EQ switches. But something that you won’t know until you but then research is the maximum distance you can have between your transmitter and receivers is 164 feet. Anything over that you will either get media dropping in and out or nothing at all. Another thing we may have discovered is that it happiest with 1080p than with 4k. It does quote the output at 1080p which is good, but today you almost expect 4k is standard.
I ran four 100ft. cables to four rooms in the house. The video is perfect in all rooms.
Do yourself a favor and get cat8 cable to run and a short 4K hdmi cable to connect to tv. I used this in a church setting and at 50 ft with cat6 the picture we glitchy with only 2 screens attached. I switched to cat8 and 4K hdmi and now I run 50′ to our 85″ Tv, 100′ to our 55″ & 60″ TVs. Works perfect!
Long story short don’t skimp on your cables.
Easy to install
