Hi, first post - yay.
I'm looking to help a family member with fault finding a problem with an existing system. It's quite a simple system, CCTV NVR displays its HDMI signal to a domestic TV. The current setup, NVR -> passive HDMI / twin ethernet extender kit -> TV. This setup has failed and for this stage of the troubleshooting I want to replace the HDMI/Ethernet extenders. The ones in use now have no dedicated power supply and I'd prefer to replace with a similar type as power outlets are scarce. There is a lot of choice of these simple devices on various sites and I wondered if anyone could recommend a brand/model. The cable run is less than 15m. I have attached a PC and monitor over the existing cabling in the appropriate transmit / receive setup. With the monitor and PC setup I can expected one of two outcomes with this test.
1. PC image displayed on PC monitor - success.
2. No PC image on the monitor accompanied by a 'no signal' message on the monitor.
However, I got neither result. Just a blank screen with an OSD message ' Entering Power Save'. To my simple head I thought this might mean that some signal was reaching the PC monitor but it was corrupted by a degraded extender.
Hence, first stop, replace the extender kit.
Any help out there?
