Boosted Raspberry PIs through my KVM
A while back I bought a KVM for my various systems and several Raspberry PIs. The HDMI didn't work for the PIs. I thought it was a problem with the KVM. I saw online that someone suggested boosting the HDMI signal, so I bought this. I plugged it in between the monitor and KVM and it did the trick. All my PIs now have HDMI. I didn't need the 5v power supply.

Product works as well designed
I am using a 50ft HDMI extension: source-50ft cord-booster-8ft cord. At first no signal would come though. When I added the booster, the signal worked but would drop intermittently. So I added the power adapter and everything works fine.

Produces dropouts
I got 50 feet hdmi cable to projector, sometimes there are dropouts. With this device things are much worse! Impossible to use at all, glitches stars just after few seconds of usage. I'm not using power adapter, as it was said that it's optional. Very dissapointed.

Response from Staples :
Thank you for the review of our HDBOOST HDMI signal booster.
We are sorry to hear it did not work as needed in your setup, this is not expected behavior for this device.
One thing to check is the length of cable on either side of the unit, with the optimal setup being up to 83 feet from the source device to the booster, and up to 33 feet between the booster to the screen or projector. This means that the longer length of cable should be before the booster instead of after.
If this device still is not working well after ensuring this, please contact our support at 1 800 265 1844, or click the green "Chat Live" in the top left of our website.
