How to install SmartAVI XTP-RXS Video Console

• Connect the video source to the transmitter input, and connect the display to the receiver output to establish the core video path.
• Attach the IR blaster and IR receiver (if using IR control) and connect RS-232 devices as needed to enable remote control and data signaling.
• Run a Cat5e/6 UTP cable from the transmitter to the receiver, keeping runs clear of interference, and use proper channeling to protect the cable along its length.
• Power both the transmitter and the receiver with their respective external power supplies, ensuring stable power for uninterrupted signal transport.
• Power on the system and verify video alignment, audio synchronization, and remote control responsiveness; make any minor adjustments to timing or IR/RS-232 settings as required.
