Product Introduction
The Alfatron ALF-TPUK610 HDMI 2.0 Extender consists of a transmitter and a
receiver. It can extends 4K video to a distance of up to 131 feet (40 meters) and 1080P
video up to a distance of 230 feet (70 meters) over a single CAT6 cable. It supports
audio de-embedding and ARC. It also supports bidirectional IR and RS232
pass-through to control source or display device remotely. PoC feature allows the
transmitter and the receiver to be powered from each other and only one power
adapter is needed in the system. Apart from passing EDID information from the display,
there are multiple built-in EDID settings that can be selected via the 4-pin DIP switch
on the front panel of transmitter. The extender also supports convenient firmware
upgrade through a Micro-USB port.

DIP Switch Operation
EDID Management
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to
match its video resolution with the connected display. By default, the source device
obtains its EDID from the first connected display. Should the displays with different
capabilities be connected to the extender, the DIP switch on the front panel of the
transmitter can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure the compatibility in
video resolution.
The switch represents “0” when in the lower (OFF) position, and it represents “1” when
the switch in is the upper (ON) position.
Switch 1~3 are used for EDID setting. The DIP switch status and its corresponding
setting is shown at the back of the product.

User-defined EDID Setting
Apart from directly using the built-in EDID, the specific EDID can be customized by
following the below operation process.
1) Rename the user-defined EDID according to the following format.
EC_xx_xxxxx_xxxx_xxx.bin
EC: Fixed value
xx: EDID ID. It is “15”.
xxxxx: Video resolution.
xxxx: Refresh rate.
xxx: Audio format.
Example: EC_15_3840x2160_60Hz_ Dolby.bin
2) Connect the FW port of the transmitter to the PC with a USB cable, then power on
the transmitter. The PC will automatically detect a virtual disk named
“BOOTDISK”.
3) Double-click to open the disk, a file named “READY.TXT” will be shown.
4) Copy the user-defined EDID (such as EC_15_3840x2160_60Hz_Dolby.bin) to
the “BOOTDISK” disk.

ALFATRON ALF-TPUK610

5) Reopen the disk to check if the filename “READY.TXT” automatically converts to
“SUCCESS.TXT”, if yes, the user-defined EDID has been written into the
transmitter and saved as its corresponding EDID ID successfully.
6) Remove the USB cable, then reboot the transmitter.
7) The new EDID can be used by setting the DIP switch status to “111”.
HDCP Mode
Put DIP switch 4 to the “ON” position to select HDCP Active mode, or on the “OFF”
position for HDCP Passive mode.

If the input video has HDCP content, the HDCP
version of HDMI output is HDCP 1.4 for a broader
video solution.
If the input video has no HDCP content, the HDMI
output has no HDCP too.
ARC Mode
The front panel of the receiver provides buttons to enable or disable ARC mode, as the
below figure shows:
Press the button with a paper clip or similar tool to enable the ARC mode, the left LED
then illuminates blue. Press it again to exit the ARC mode and the LED will be off.

ARC is supported.
The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back
to the receiver via the HDMI cable, it will then
be output via the ARC Audio Out port of the
transmitter.
ARC is not supported.
Connect the TV to the ARC Audio In port on
the receiver with an audio cable. The TV audio
is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver
via the audio cable, it will then be output by the
ARC Audio Out port of transmitter.
Note that if the ARC mode is ON, the Audio
Breakout port of the receiver has no audio
output.
OFF /
The TV audio cannot route back to the ARC
Audio Out port of transmitter. The Audio
Breakout port of the receiver is connected to a
speaker or amplifier for HDMI source audio
de-embedding.

System Connection
The following diagram illustrates the typical input and output connections of the
extender:
1) The ARC model of the receiver is ON, and the display device (e.g. HDTV)
supports ARC. The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via
HDMI cable, it will then be output by the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter.
Note: The STP cable is recommended to be used to ensure optimal machine
performance in ARC mode.
