4 Getting started
4.1 Installation tips
•
First, switch off all devices (TV and HDMI sources) before connecting them to the
MegaView 76™. If a device cannot be turned off, please remove its plug from the
wall socket.
•
For the best picture and sound quality, only use High Speed HDMI® certified
cables.
•
Please be careful when connecting your HDMI cables. These can damage easily.
4.2 Requirements CAT5e/6 cable
•
UTP, FTP or STP cable
•
24AWG or lower
•
Solid twisted pair
•
100 ohm at 1MHz
•
RJ-45 connection according to EIA/TIA T568B standard
Please note! The CAT6 cable has better specifications than the CAT5e, often making
it possible to work with longer cable lengths. To optimise transmission quality, use solid
twisted pair CAT5e or CAT6 cables.

Connect the PC to the transmitter [7], using an HDMI cable (not included).
3.
If desired, also connect a (first) TV or monitor to the transmitter [8], using an HDMI
cable (not supplied).

Use one CAT5e/6 networking cable to connect the transmitter and receiver [4].
Please note! The MegaView 76™ will only work when using a direct connection
between the transmitter and the receiver and cannot be connected to an existing home
network (LAN), since this may damage the device or your network router.
