AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX-PSE
The Atlona AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX-PSE is a 4K/UHD HDMI over 100M HDBaseT receiver for
AV signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over category cable with Ethernet pass-through, RS-
232, CEC, and Power over Ethernet. It receives video signals up to 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:2:0
chroma subsampling, plus embedded multi-channel audio. The AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX-PSE is
HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports EDID communication. It is ideal for use with the AT-UHD-EX-
100CE-TX-PD HDBaseT transmitter, or an HDVS-200 Series HDBaseT switcher for extending
4K signals to a display. This receiver features a quarter rack width metal enclosure, with rear
panel I/O ports for uncluttered wire management. The AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX-PSE is externally
powered by the included power supply, and provides Power over Ethernet for the AT-UHD-EX-
100CE-TX-PD, an HDVS-200 HDBaseT switcher, or other PoE-compatible HDBaseT transmitter.

RS-232
The AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX-PSE provides pass-through transport of RS-232 over HDBaseT,
which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232. This step is optional.
1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket on the RS-232 cable.
2. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires for the RS-
232 connection.
3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using one of the included 3-pin
captive screw connectors.
4. Tighten the captive screws to secure the wires in place. Do not over-tighten or use high-
torque devices to prevent damage to the connector block.
NOTE: Typical DE-9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for
ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed.
