B156E0028KK - Video adapter Tripp Lite - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL B156E0028KK Tripp Lite

• Connect multiple monitors via the DisplayPort output on your computer to display the same image on each monitor, extend the desktop across monitors, or combine as one enlarged monitor in video wall mode.

• Extends up to 230 ft. (70 m) from the source to remote receiver via Cat6 UTP cable with zero latency.

• DisplayPort v1.4 and Multi-Stream Transfer (MST) compliant.

• DisplayPort and HDMI output models support UHD 4K resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (60 Hz). See System Requirements for more information.

• Supports HDMI 2.0, HDCP 1.4 & 2.3, HDR, EDID and DDC.

• Supports DTS-HD, Dolby True HD and 7.1-channel surround sound audio.

• Pigtail receiver features built-in equalization (EQ) control and auto EDID image adjustment.

• Power over Cable (PoC) technology means no external power is required for the receiver.

• 5V power adapter with screw-type connector allows attachment to MST hub.

• Rugged metal enclosure includes patented detachable surface-mounting brackets.3 System Requirements

• A computer with a DisplayPort v1.4 compatible graphics card (e.g., AMD Radeon with AMD Eyefinity Technology). Backward compatible with most DisplayPort 1.1a equipment running current graphics drivers. The feature set is limited to that of the attached equipment (e.g., you may be limited to displaying in Clone/Mirror mode only). Compatibility with older graphics cards is not guaranteed.

• macOS X does not support MST for NVIDIA and Intel Graphics Processor Units, limiting video display on the connected monitors to mirror mode.

• DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth is 32.4 Gbps. Higher- resolution monitors take up more bandwidth.

• Although DisplayPort and HDMI monitors support video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 on individual monitors, the number of 4K monitors connected at the same time is limited. For example, when connecting 4 monitors simultaneously, you will be limited to connecting 1080p monitors. Higher resolutions are possible when displaying in video wall mode (e.g., 3840 x 6480 in a 1x3 video wall, 11520 x 2160 in a 3x1 video wall, etc.)4 System Requirements

• When in Mirror Mode, the same content may only display on 2 screens.

• Under the circumstance of removing the graphics card driver software, it is possible to achieve the requirement of mirroring 3 screens.

• When utilizing an 8K source with 8K display(s) connected to the output ports, there may be bandwidth issues that limit the capability of individual output ports.5 Package Contents

• DisplayPort MST Transmitter Hub

• DisplayPort or HDMI Pigtail Receiver

• N202-Series Cat6 24 AWG Solid-Wire Cables6 Mounting Instructions The following images illustrate how the included mounting brackets can be attached for different installations. Notes:

• The models shown below are for illustrative purposes only. Your product may vary by model number, size or port orientation.

• Only the DisplayPort MST Hub can be mounted. The receiver is a pigtail-type unit that connects directly to the display. Wall-mount 19” Rack-mount7 Before Installation Before installation, please check the following settings of your source(s) and display(s):

• Set display to 60 Hz. Double-check factory settings, as default can be set to a lower frequency (Hz) than advertised.

• Ensure the input setting of your monitor is set at HDMI 2.0. Some displays may have default setting at HDMI

• Verify your monitor has the HDR feature enabled. Some displays may have this feature disabled as a factory setting.

• Check if the Ultra HD (UHD) Deep Color setting is enabled on your display. Confirm with your display’s manufacturer which HDMI ports support UHD Deep Color. Note: To connect a local monitor to your installation, the UHD Deep Color setting may need to be disabled on your local display to achieve 4K @ 60 Hz resolution.8 Installation Notes:

• Test to ensure the entire installation works properly before pulling cables through ceilings/walls.

• To achieve maximum distance and performance, use 24 AWG solid-wire Cat6 cable. Using stranded-wire Cat6 cable or cable with a gauge (AWG) size higher than 24 AWG will result in shorter extension distance. Higher- gauge cabling, such as 26 AWG, has a more limited transmission capability than lower-gauge cabling. N202- Series Cat6 cables are made with 24 AWG solid-wire cabling.

• External power is not required for pigtail receivers due to Power over Cable (PoC) technology incorporated in the transmitters.

• Before installation, ensure your graphics driver is up-to- date by installing the latest driver available. The MST hub is backward compatible with most DisplayPort 1.1a equipment running current graphics drivers. Feature set is limited to the attached equipment’s capabilities (e.g., you may be limited to displaying in Clone/Mirror mode only). Compatibility with older graphics cards is not guaranteed.9 Installation

1. Make sure all equipment in the installation is powered

source with the DisplayPort input on the MST transmitter OR using an HDMI cable, connect the HDMI source with the HDMI input on the MST transmitter.

3. Using Cat6 cable, connect the RJ45 port on the MST

transmitter to the RJ45 port on the pigtail receiver.

4. Repeat Step 3 for each additional display you are

5. Connect the pigtail receiver to the display.

6. Turn on the power to your connected displays.

7. Connect the external power supply to the MST

transmitter. Plug it into an available wall outlet or a surge protector, power distribution unit (PDU) or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The POWER (green) LED on the MST transmitter will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power from the external power supply. The POWER (green) LED on the pigtail receiver will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power from the local transmitter unit through PoC technology.

8. Turn on the power to the DisplayPort source.

9. The orange RJ45 LED will illuminate on both the MST

transmitter and pigtail receiver to indicate a signal is being received from the source to the display. The screen should now appear on the connected display(s).

10. Use your video card’s display settings screen to adjust

how video is displayed on the connected displays.10 Installation Diagrams

B156E-003-H8K-K12 Troubleshooting If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.

1. Is your equipment running the latest graphics

driver? If not, download the latest graphics drivers for your equipment. The MST hub is backward compatible with most DisplayPort 1.1a equipment running current graphics drivers. The feature set is limited to the attached equipment’s capabilities (e.g., you may be limited to displaying in Clone/Mirror mode only). Compatibility with older graphics cards is not guaranteed.

2. Press the hub’s reset button to reset the signal

being sent to the connected displays. Installation Diagrams Cable connections 1 Up to 230 ft. (70 m) Cat6 solid cable at 4K / 60 Hz 2 Up to 15 ft. (4.5 m) HDMI 2.0 cable at 4K / 60 Hz 3 Up to 15 ft. (4.5 m) DisplayPort cable at 4K / 60 Hz Connected components

3. Is the included external power supply connected

and plugged into a working power source? For the product to function properly, it must be connected to and receiving power from the included external power supply.

4. Was the power to the DisplayPort source and

connected monitors turned off prior to installation? If not, restart your computer.

5. What resolution are you trying to attain on each

monitor? DisplayPort 1.4 has a bandwidth of

32.4 Gbps with higher-resolution monitors taking up

more bandwidth. Although DisplayPort and HDMI monitors support video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 on individual monitors, the number of 4K monitors connected at the same time is limited. For example, when connecting 4 monitors simultaneously, you will be limited to connecting 1080p monitors. Higher resolutions are possible when displaying in video wall mode (e.g., 3840 x 6480 in a 1x3 video wall, 11520 x 2160 in a 3x1 video wall, etc.)

6. What cable lengths are you using? The maximum

cable length between the hub and the connected monitors should not exceed 15 ft. (4.6 m).

7. What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling

can result in poor performance. It is important to use cables that support the video resolution you are trying to attain. It is recommended you use the cables listed in the Optional Accessories section, as they have been tested to work with these MST Hubs.

8. Test your cables to ensure they are working

properly. For example, connect your DisplayPort or HDMI cables between a source and display setup you know works to determine if the cable is functioning properly.14 Specifications Maximum Distance to Display 230 ft.
