2.2 BEFORE INSTALLATION
ATTENTION
• To prevent airflow restriction, allow clearance around the ventilation openings to be at least: ONE Inch (25.4 mm).
• Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
• Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard
practices for preventing accidents.
• Place the product on an even and stable surface. If the product falls, it may cause an injury to a person or malfunction.
• Do not place the product in high temperatures (over 50°C), or low temperature (under 0°C) or high humidity.
• Use the DC power adapter with correct specifications. If inappropriate power supply is used then it may cause a fire.
• Do not twist or pull by force ends of the UTP /HDMI cable. It can cause malfunction.
• Keep the device away from water. If the unit becomes wet, power off immediately.
• Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

While in the USER EDID state (8), press and hold the setting button (for 4 seconds) in order to copy the EDID
from the connected display or downstream device to the user EDID and it will apply automatically.
This is commonly used when there is a need for a specific, known EDID that the installer may prefer. It can
also be used if you want to bypass an EDID of an AVR or another connected device. (IE, plug the extender kit
directly into a display and COPY the EDID. Plug it back into an AVR that may not have a current/good EDID).
While in ANY state besides the USER EDID state, press and hold the setting button (for 4 seconds) to toggle
the scaler mode. The options are:
1. Normal Mode(ICT Mode) --- LED Flashes 1 Time
2. Down Scaler Mode (4K->2K) --- LED Flashes 2 Times

Press and hold the setting button (for 4 seconds) while powering up the transmitter. You should see the
color bar pattern like the picure to the right. When in this mode, you can quick press to toggle the resolution.
Quick press the setting button - Select the test pattern timing:
1. 1080P - LED Flashes 1 Time (3 sets of color bars)
2. 4K - LED Flashes 2 Times (5 sets of color bars)
This can be useful for checking your cabling and for
troubleshooting. You can also ensure you have
sufficient distance based on the resolution as well.
Using the “Extract From” function allows you to select where the Toslink audio output gets its signal.
There are two options:
1. Extract from HDMI - The RED light will be on. Audio will be extracted from the local HDMI input
plugged into the transmitter. The supported formats are 2CH PCM, 6CH/7CH LPCM, DTS 5.1,
Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus. No down-mix, pass through only. Please see the AC-ADM-COTO
for down-mixing.
2. Extract From ARC (Audio Return Channel) - The RED light will be off. In this mode the audio will
come the audio input on the receiver unit, the receiver can be set to HDMI ARC or Toslink (see the
receiver section of the manual for more). The supported formats are 2CH PCM, 6CH/7CH LPCM,
DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus. No down-mix, pass through only. Please use a
UNIVERSAL DIGITAL/ANALOG AUDIO CONVERTER FOR DOWN MIXING.
• NOTE: When "ARC" is selected on both Tx and Rx the HDMI ARC is open for appropriate devices.
ie, you can plug into an AVR with ARC and a TV with ARC and get support via the HDMI Cable.
The button looks like this:

POWER - On the front (Setting Light): (Red) the setting light doubles as the POWER indicator. This is an
indicator that the power is connected. There are only two states for light:
- Light Is On = Power supply is connected and functioning.
- Light Is Off = Power supply is not connected or there is no power present. (In order to have power: check
the power supply, USP, Outlet, etc...)
HDMI STATUS - On the back (By HDMI Port): (Blue) This indicator shows that the HDMI Source is
connected. The states are:
- Light Is On (Solid) = Sync w/ HDMI source is correct and solid.
- Light Is Flashing = The light flashes during the sync process. If it is flashing continuously, a picture may not be
present
- Light Is Off = User can try and check the following below:
If the red HDMI signal status light is flashing or off, check the following:
- The source. Plug it directly into the display to be sure it's functioning properly.
- Try a longer HDMI cable. Some HDMI cables do not sync well at shorter lengths.
- Set the EDID to state #1 (Please use a UNIVERSAL DIGITAL/ANALOG AUDIO CONVERTER FOR
DOWN MIXING).
- If these suggestions do not work, enable the "Test Pattern" (Please use a UNIVERSAL DIGITAL/ANALOG
AUDIO CONVERTER FOR DOWN MIXING). If you see the pattern, the problem is between the source
and the transmitter, please try a different source.
- Contact Avenview support if these suggestions do not work.

4.2.1 - Audio Select
The audio select slide switch is used to select where ARC will come from. There are two modes, see below:
1. ARC (Default) - The audio sent back to the transmitter will be from the HDMI Audio Return
Channel. The supported formats are 2CH PCM, 6CH/7CH LPCM, DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital,
Dolby Digital Plus. No down-mix, pass through only. Please see the AC-ADM-COTO for
down-mixing.
- In this mode the SPDIF Input is inactive.
- To use ARC via HDMI, make sure ARC in enabled on on AVR
and Display properly.
- The SPDIF Out on the transmitter will be active for up to DD+
- Dolby Atmos can pass over HDMI ARC
2. SPDIF (Recommended) - The audio sent back to the transmitter will be from the SPDIF
input. The supported formats are 2CH PCM, 6CH/7CH LPCM, DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby
Digital Plus. No down-mix, pass through only. Please see the UNIVERSAL DIGITAL/ANALOG AUDIO
CONVERTER CHANGE THIS THOUGHOUT THE USER GUIDE for downmixing.
NOTE - On the Tx, you can retrieve the signal from HDMI or SPDIF Toslink
The setting button can be pressed when the "Pattern" is enabled to toggle
between 1080P and 4K Test Patterns.The setting button is located
front of the transmitter next to the micro USB port. The indicator light is
directly next to the button.
Press "Pattern" button on the receiver to enter pattern mode. The light will turn RED when enabled. The
color bar pattern, as seen to the right will appear. When in this mode, you can short press "Setting" to
toggle the resolution.
Quick press "Setting Button" - Select the test pattern timing:
1. 1080P --- LED Flashes 1 Time (3 Sets of color bars)
2. 4K --- LED Flashes 2 Time (5 sets of color bars)
This is useful for checking cabling and for troubleshooting. It will check the
link between the Rx and the display/sink.

RS-232 can be used to pass control signals bi-directionally to & from any RS-232 compatible device. This is
commonly used to route control signals in the following way:
1. Control System --> Display/Projector (ie, Power On/Off)
2. Display/Projector --> Control System (ie, Display Status, Volume
Status etc...)
3. When ultra long-range serial communication is needed (think
concerts, live events). Use the extender.
The unit comes with 3 pin connectors to allow for any wire an integrator
would like. The pin out configuration Left=TX, Center=Ground, Right=RX
and looks like this:
This is how the cable should look. If using the
AC-CABLE-3.5-DB9F (Female) or AC-CABLE-3.5-DB9M
(Male), the colorswill be the same. With any other
cable, please follow Tx, G, Rx (See Fig. 4.3.A). A
RS-232 cable preparation diagram is on the next page.

1. From Rack (Control System Direct): Plug a MONO 3.5mm cable into an emitter port of any control system
directly into the "IR IN" port on the FO-HDM2-T4K-T Transmitter to pass IR signals directly to the remote end.
NOTE - Be sure the IR MODE Slide Switch is set to "I-PASS" on the Transmitter.
2. From Rack (Using IR-EYE): Plug an IR-Receiver Eye into the "IR IN" of the FO-HDM2-T4K-T Transmitter in order
to pass infrared signals generated from a device or IR Remote. NOTE - Be sure the IR MODE Slide Switch is
set to "IR-EYE" on the Transmitter.
3. From Remote End: Use an IR-Receiver Eye on the FO-HDM2-T4K-R Receiver (IR In Port) in order to send IR
signals BACK to the rack and out of the TRANSMITTER IR Out Port with an emitter.
