Installation Guide
UDM-RX02 Multi-Format Receiver
Overview
Installed at the display device, the UDM-RX02 converts the signal received from the
UDM-1604 or UDM-0102 Multi-Format Distribution Hub to standard audio/video signals. With
intelligent receiver technology, each UDM-RX02 is powered remotely from the Multi-Format
Distribution Hub via Cat 5/5e/6 cable.
The receiver supports an embedded control function to allow detection of a change in signal
from the hub and automatic switch of the Plasma or LCD screen to its new video format.
The UDM-RX02 also allows an optional local power supply to be added for long cable runs.
Common Application
Perfect for the receiving end of sources to be displayed in classrooms, conference rooms or
other presentation rooms.
Features
• Video Support for 1600 x 1200 (UXGA), 1920 x 1080 (HDTV), Component YPbPr,

93-UDM-RX02 REV: J
The Serial port can also be used as a control port for sending serial data to a connected
device. In this mode the UDM-RX02N supports baud rates from 1200 - 115200. If a display
device is controlled using a serial connection instead of IR, then a serial cable is connected
from the UDM-RX02N to the serial port on the display device.
Note: The baud rate on the UDM-RX02N must match the baud rate as the receiver is set up
for. For example, if the baud rate has been changed to 115200 for a certain display, then
you’ll need to change your terminal to the same 115200 baud rate.
Depending on the screen manufacturer, it may be necessary to introduce a cross into this
connection by instead using the FG-RS02 cable, or a null modem DB9-DB9 adaptor with the
FG-RS01. In some cases the null modem adaptor may need a link between RTS/CTS at the
DB9 end.
For example, NEC LCD panels act as DTE equipment and work with standard serial cable,
while Fujitsu and Panasonic Plasma screens act as DCE equipment and therefore require
cross connections.
Note: Refer to the UDM-0808-SIG / UDM-RX02N Operation/Reference Guide for pinout
details on the SERIAL (RJ12) connector.
To connect to a display device using a serial cable:
1. Connect a serial cable to the UDM-RX02N’s SERIAL port.
2. Run the serial cable (observing distance limitations) to the display device’s serial port
and connect.
Note: The serial cable must be pinned out according to the Manufacturer’s instructions.
Failure to do so will result in serial commands failing.
IR Receiver (IR Rx) Port
The IR Rx port is used to enable user control and the remote compensation of the video link
to the UDM, using the FG-UDM-RC10 and the FG-IR03.
Refer to the Protocols and IR Learning section of the UDM Hub’s Operation/Reference Guide
for details for information on learning a device’s IR commands.
IR Transmit (IR Tx) Port
The IR Tx port issues IR commands from the UDM-RX02 to a controlled display device (TV
monitor or display). One IR display device can be connected to the RX02 via the IR Tx port,
and controlled via the UDM Hub’s WebConsole or via remote control.
Connecting an IR Device to the IR Tx Port
1. Connect an IR01 Endeleo IR Emitter Module (FG-IR01) to the IR Tx port on the RX02.
Note: Ensure the position of the device corresponds to the position assigned in the
Devices option of the UDM Hub’s WebConsole.
2. Run the other end of the IR Emitter cable to the device’s IR sensor, and attach the IR
Emitter to the device’s sensor by removing the cover on the reverse side of the IR
Emitter.
IR commands for each device on the system have to be learned by the UDM Hub in order to
function properly. Refer to the Protocols and IR Learning section of the UDM Hub’s
Operation/Reference Guide for information on learning a device’s IR commands.
AUDIO Connectors
The UDM-RX02 provides standard Audio RCA output connectors for S/PDIF for digital audio,
and LEFT/RIGHT for analog audio output (FIG. 2).
VIDEO Connectors
VGA Input at Display Device
1. Attach one end of the VGA cable to the VGA connector on the UDM-RX02.
2. Run the other end to the VGA connector on the display device. Connect firmly.
3. If appropriate connect audio to the audio connectors on the RX02.
Note: Ensure the UDM Hub port the RX02 is attached to is configured correctly within
the Hub’s configuration software. Also ensure the correct Audio Type (Analog L/R, S/
PDIF, or None) is selected for the relevant input.
Composite Input at Display Device
1. Attach the composite cable to the CVBS connector on the UDM-RX02.
2. Run the other end of the composite cable to the Composite connector on the display
device. Connect firmly.
3. If appropriate connect audio to the audio connectors on the RX02.
S-Video Input at Display Device
1. Attach the SVideo cable to the S Video connector on the UDM-RX02.
2. Run the other end of the SVideo cable to the SVideo connector on the display device.
Connect firmly.
3. If appropriate connect audio to the audio connectors on the RX02.
Component Input at Display Device
1. Attach the Component cables to the Y(green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) connectors on
the UDM-RX02.
2. Run the other end of the Component cable to the Component connectors on the dis-
play device. Connect firmly.
3. If appropriate connect audio to the audio connectors on the RX02.
Video Compensation
Video at the Receive end can be compensated using three main methods;
• Using the UDM Hub’s WebConsole
• Using the UDM-RC02 Multi-Format IR Remote Control
• Using a hyper terminal session via the serial connector on the RX02 (especially
effective setup method when using long runs)
Connecting an External IR Receiver Module
If passthrough mode (where a device such as a DVD or VCR can be controlled via a UDM-
RC02 Multi-Format IR Remote Control) is required then an IR03 External IR Receiver
Module will be needed to pick up IR controls from the remote control.
Additionally, if the RX02 is to be compensated via a remote control, then an IR Receiver
Module is also needed.
Connecting the UDM-RX02 Receiver to the UDM Hub
The RJ45 port on the front panel of the UDM Hub labelled “UDM” supports the UDM-RX02.
The RX02 is then connected to a display device.
1. Connect a standard Cat5/6 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port labelled UDM on the front
panel of the UDM Hub.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port labelled UDM Hub on the
rear panel of the RX02.
Note: Ensure the UDM Hub port the RX02 is attached to is configured correctly within
the Hub’s configuration software. Also ensure the correct Audio Type (Analog L/R,
S/PDIF, or None) is selected for the relevant input.
UDM HUB Port LEDs
2 LEDs are visible at the UDM Hub port (on the UDM-RX02) when the UDM Hub is switched
on:
•Green – Connection to UDM Hub (if Cat 5 removed, LED switches off).
•Amber – Power (as well as comms if uploading protocols etc. the Amber LED may
flicker).
Powering on the UDM-RX02
Via the UDM-PS External Power Supply (Standard Installation)
The UDM-RX02 is typically powered via the included UDM-PS external 24 VDC power
supply power supply (FG-UDM-PS).
• To connect the RX02 to the local power supply, insert the barrel connector of the power
supply into the power connector on the RX02.
• To power down the RX02, remove the barrel connector of the power supply from the
power connector and then remove the Ethernet cable from the UDM Hub connector.
Via the UDM Hub
In installation scenarios where it is impractical to connect the UDM-PS power supply, the
RX02 may be also powered by its Hub device, via a standard CAT5 cable.
• UDM Hubs can provide power to up to 10 (un-powered) RX02s.
• Disconnecting the local power supply will not power down the UDM-RX02 if its
Ethernet connection to the UDM Hub is intact.
Note: The UDM-PS Power supply should be used with any RX02 that is exhibiting video
noise at it’s display.
