how to install ATEN HDMI HDBaseT Receiver with Dual Output (4K@100m) (HDBaseT Class A)

Follow these straightforward steps to deploy the VE814AR in a typical AV setup:

Step 1: Plan the placement. Position the VE814AR in your equipment rack or closet near the displays, ensuring adequate ventilation and a clear power source.

Step 2: Connect the sources. If your transmitter is part of an AV distribution chain, ensure the HDMI source or transmitter is connected and powered. The VE814AR will receive the HDMI signal via a single HDBaseT cable.

Step 3: Run the long-haul connection. Use a single Cat5e/6/6a cable (or ATEN2L-2910 Cat 6 cable) to link the HDBaseT transmitter to the VE814AR. Confirm the cable is securely seated at both ends to establish a stable link.

Step 4: Connect the displays. Attach HDMI cables from the VE814AR’s two HDMI outputs to Display 1 and Display 2. Ensure the displays are configured to receive HDMI input and are set to the correct resolution to maximize 4K performance.

Step 5: Power up and verify. Connect the VE814AR’s power adapter and turn on all devices. Check both displays to confirm 4K output, correct color, and smooth video. If needed, adjust EDID settings or display menu to align with the source capabilities.

Step 6: Fine-tune and test. In larger installations, you may want to test latency, color calibration, and compatibility with different sources (Blu-ray players, PC, streaming devices). The VE814AR’s design supports quick integration with standard AV gear, enabling reliable operation in conference rooms, classrooms, and home theaters alike.
