Zektop SoloCAT Z57-1.3 User Manual - Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation
1. Connect a HDMI™ or DVI source (such as a Blu-ray Disc player) to the transmitting unit Z57 [TX].
2. Connect a HDMI™ or DVI display (such as a LCD TV) to the receiving unit Z57 [RX].
3. Connect a Cat-5/5e/6 cable between the transmitting and receiving units.
4. Make sure this Cat-5/5e/6 cable is tightly connected and not loose.
5. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the receiving unit Z57 [RX].
6. Plug in 5V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the transmitting unit Z57 [TX].
7. If you see flickering or blinking image on the display, please adjust the rotary control switch to improve the
cable skew. 0 stands for the strongest HDMI signal level for longest possible transmission length while 7
stands for the weakest HDMI™ signal level for short transmission length. Please adjust the signal level from 7
to 0 and stop turning the rotary switch whenever the audio/video is playing normally. Inappropriate signal level
setting may cause overpowering issue that would shorten the product life significantly!
EDID Learning
1. Turn on Z57 [TX].
2. Turn “MODE” on the transmitter unit Z57 [TX] counterclockwise [
4
] to 7.
3. Connect the HDMI display to “HDMI IN” on the Z57 [TX] with a HDMI cable and better not connect to video source. The
LED on the RJ-45 connector of Z57 [TX] will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning procedure is
complete.
4. Turn “MODE” on the Z57 [TX] clockwise
[3]
from 7 to 0 (for surround sound) or 1 (for stereo).
The most important
thing is don’t let the rotary arrow pass through mode 5 and Mode 6 which will erase the EDID just learned and
restore to default EDID.
5. Unplug the HDMI™ cable from the display and follow the instruction in [Hardware Installation] to set up the Zektor
Incorporated SoloCAT™ and enjoy the experience.
