1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction to the AVG-UDATP4
The AVG-UDATP4 is an HDBaseT Splitter accepting 1 HDMI input and distributing it
to 4 HDBaseT outputs, plus 1 HDMI local output. The HDMI output socket can be
used to monitor local devices or cascade with an additional splitter.
Th eAVG-UDATP4 allows uncompressed 4K (max) HDMI, IR, and RS232 signals to
be transmitted over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable. It supports transmission of 4K signals
up to 40m and 1080p signals up to 60m. If required, use the HDMI local output to
cascade the HDMI signal up to 4 times with additional AVG-UDATP4.
The AVG-UDATP4 is also capable of bi-directional IR transmission, EDID

4.3. Connection Diagram
Note: Pictures shown in this manual are for reference only

AVG-UDATP4
4.4. Connection Procedure
Step 1. Connect an HDMI source device (e.g. Blu-ray DVD) to the HDMI INPUT
socket of the AVG-UDATP4 with an HDMI cable.
Step 2. Connect an HDMI display to HDMI OUTPUT socket of AVG-UDATP4 with
an HDMI cable.
Step 3. Connect AVG-HD402PR(s) to HDBT output port(s) of AVG-UDATP4 with
twisted pair.
Step 4. Connect control device (e.g. PC) to the RS232 IN port of AVG-UDATP4 or
AVG-HD402PR (bi-directional RS232 control, either end is available).
If you want to cascade RS232 signals among several AVG-UDATP4 units
through the RS232 LOOP, connect the RS232 LOOP socket of one of
them and the RS232 IN socket of the next until all the AVG-UDATP4 units
have been connected.
Step 5. Connect an IR Receiver to the IR IN port, and an IR Emitter to the IR OUT
port. The IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between AVG-
UDATP4 and AVG-HD402PR(s).The IR signal is 5volt.
If you want to cascade the IR signal among several AVG-UDATP4 units,
connect the IR LOOP socket of one of them and the IR IN socket of the
next until all the AVG-UDATP4’s have been connected.
Step6. Connect a DC 24V power adapter to the power port of the AVG-UDATP4,
the AVG-HD402PR is able to be powered by the AVG-UDATP4 using the
PoC capability that is built in.
4.5. Cascade Connection
4.5.1. Cascade AV Signal
HDMI source signals can be cascaded to several displays via HDMI OUT/ IN.
Connect the HDMI OUT socket of the first AVG-UDATP4 to the HDMI IN socket of
the next until all AVG-UDATP4 units have been connected.
HDMI signals connected to the first AVG-UDATP4 are able to be output to
other connected AVG-UDATP4 units as well.
4.5.2. Cascade Control Signal
The AVG-UDATP4 supports control cascading via IR LOOP/ RS232 LOOP to
enable signal loop output. Users can choose one or multiple cascade methods
according to their specified needs.

AVG-UDATP4
Cascade connection diagram:
Cascade through IR Loop
Connect the IR LOOP socket of the first AVG-UDATP4 and the IR IN socket of the
next until all th eAVG-UDATP4 units have been connected.
Sending IR signals to the IR Receiver connected to the first AVG-UDATP4 will
control all cascaded AVG-UDATP4’s.
Cascade through RS232 Loop
Connect the RS232 LOOP socket of the first AVG-UDATP4 and the RS232 IN
socket of the next until all the AVG-UDATP4 units have been connected.
Sending RS232 commands will control all cascaded AVG-UDATP4 simaltaneously.
Note: To identify the AVG-UDATP4 in cascading, please set a unique ID for each
unit when the cascade connection is done.
4.6. Twisted Pair Cable Connection
The twisted pair used in the AVG-HD402PR MUST be a straight-through cable. The
connectors can be T568A or T568B, but both sides must be the same

5. System Operations
5.1. IR Control
By using IR & HDBaseT transmission technology, the AVG-UDATP4 has the
following functions:
1. Control a far-end output device from local matrix location.
2. Control a local input/output device remotely.
3. Control the AVG-UDATP4 locally or remotely.
5.1.1. Control a far-end device from local unit
Control the AVG-UDATP4 or far-end display device from local through
corresponding IR remote.

AVG-UDATP4
5.1.2. Control a far-end device from remote location
Control the AVG-UDATP4 or local display remotely via corresponding IR remote
As RS232 can be transmitted bi-directionally between the AVG-UDATP4 and the
AVG-HD402PR, it is able to control a third party RS232 device locally or control the
AVG-UDATP4 from a remote location.
When controlling a third party RS232 device, the baud rate of this device should be
9600.

AVG-UDATP4
5.2. RS232 Control
5.2.1. Installation/Removal of RS232 Control Software
Installation Copy the control software file to the computer connected with the
Matrix.
Removal Delete all the control software files in corresponding file path.
5.2.2. Basic Settings
Firstly, connect the AVG-UDATP4 with an input device and an output device. Then,
connect it with a computer which is installed with RS232 control software. Double-
click the software icon to run this software.
Here we take the software CommWatch.exe as example. The icon is shown as
below:

AVG-UDATP4
The interface of the control software is shown below:
Please set the parameters of COM number, baud rate, data bit, stop bit and the
parity bit correctly, only then will you be able to send commands in the Command
Sending Area.
Command format: ID +Port number +RS232 command.
Of which port number stands for the HDBT port that the device to be controlled
is connected to, the value varies from 1~4.
For example, if the ID of the AVG-UDATP4 is 01, and the device to be controlled is
connected to HDBT port 2, then send the command “1B1.” as “0121B1.”.
Note: To control AVG-UDATP4 via RS232 port, the communication protocol
parameters should be configured in the right manner: Baud rate: 9600; Data bit: 8;
Stop bit: 1; Parity bit: none.
5.2.3. Control a far-end device locally
Connect the RS232 ports of the AVG-UDATP4 and AVG-HD402PR (See Figure
Below), then it is able to control the AVG-UDATP4 and far-end device from local
position by sending RS232 commands.
