    Calling all IT gurus please help!

    Hooking up 2 84” tv’s to a click share system. Router is centered between them 2 50’ HDMI cables running thru a booster splitter feeding the no signal. Hook them up individualy 50’ HDMI cable no signal. Hook same setup up 6’ hdmi cable and works perfectly! Is it the fact they bought cheap hdmi cables? I have to have this working NO MATTER WHAT By Monday for a kick off meeting for 200 people at Exxon Mobil, or I’m the jackwagon. I am going to try a higher grade cable tomorrow.

    Are you really meaning to indicate "50 foot" HDMI cables, with your (50')?

        The HDMI extenders are really hit or miss. A higher quality cable may help, but it's a gamble. If you want to do it right, you need an HDMI over ethernet booster. Maybe can overnight one from Amazon, not sure if you could find one local...

            Not sure what your setup is, but there may be some configuring on the HDMI and USB ports. I hooked up a Dell 87 they other day and the ports are paired up, I think 1 and 2 HDMI pair with USB 1 and HDMI 3,4 paired with USB 2. I had a wireless router on USB 2 and the system needed to be in HDMI 3 or 4, it was in 1... took me a while, but RTFM came into play. Also if they are newer models you can setup Miracast with newer laptops and wifi. What kind of setup are you trying to pair up ?

                        50' HDMI cables are probably directional. Look at each end of the cable and see if it's labeled source and TV. If so it matters which way they are plugged in.

                          It has 2 pieces with each set. 1 side you put at your source, it converts to a signal that can leverage cat 5/6. At the TV you put the decoder that converts the signal back to HDMI. Since you have 2 tvs you would need 2 sets.

                            10-4 we bought new cables and some other thing that is supposed to let the TV’s mirror each other today if that doesn’t work looks like I’m headed to Houston tomorrow for the converters and cables.
