INPUTS
a. IR OUT: 6 in total, connect with IR emitters to deliver the IR signal sent from
the far-end receivers connected to the HDBaseT ports.
These IR OUT sockets make up an IR matrix with the IR IN sockets on the far-
end receivers, and all can be switched synchronously with the AV signal, or
switched separately.
In default setting, the 6 IR OUT corresponds with the 6 IR IN, i.e. IR OUT1→IR
IN1, IR OUT2→IR IN2, …IR OUT6→IR IN6.
b. AUDIO: Auxiliary audio input ports, 6 in total, connect with PCM audio sources
c. HDMI: HDMI input ports,6 in total, type A female HDMI connector, connect with
HDMI input source devices.

OUT, cannot be switched separately. It makes up an IR bi-directional
transmission with the IR OUT on the corresponding far-end receiver.
e. RS232: 3-pin pluggable terminal blocks, 6 in total, correspond to 6 output
sources separately, communicate with the RS232 port on corresponding
HDBaseT receiver, cannot be switched separately. When controlled by
HDBaseT receiver, the communication protocol must be the same with the
AVG-UHMS66’s.
f. AUDIO: stereo audio output ports, 6 in total
g. HDMI: Local HDMI output ports for HDMI Inputs 1~4, synchronously switched
with HDBaseT Output 1~4

AVG-UHMS66
4. System Connection
4.1 System Applications
As its good performance in control and transmission, the AVG-UHMS66 can be widely used in computer realm,
monitoring, large screen displaying, conference system, television education and bank securities institutions etc.
4.2 Usage Precautions
1) System should be installed in a clean environment and has a prop temperature and humidity.
2) All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated and safe.
3) All devices should be connected before power on.
4.3 Connection Diagram
4.4 Connection Procedure
Step1. Connect HDMI sources (e.g. DVD) to HDMI inputs of the AVG-UHMS66 with HDMI cables.
Step2. Connect auxiliary audio sources to the AUDIO IN ports with audio cables.
Step3. Connect HDBaseT receivers (e.g. HD300R) to the HDBaseT Output ports with twisted pair.
Step4. Connect HDMI displays (e.g. HDTV) to the HDMI outputs of the AVG-UHMS66 or the receivers with
HDMI cables
Step5. Connect speakers/headphones to AUDIO output ports
Step6. Connect the RS232 port of the control device (e.g. a PC) to the RS232 port of eitherAVG-UHMS66 or
far-end receivers. RS232 signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between AVG-UHMS66 and far-end
receivers.
Step7. AVG-UHMS66 can collect IR signals sent by the included IR remote via its built-in IR sensor or through
an external IR receiver connected to the IR IN/ IR EYE/ IR ALL IN port. The IR signal can be transmitted bi-
directionally between AVG-UHMS66 and far-end receivers.
Step8. Connect an AC 100V~240V power outlet and the AVG-UHMS66 with the AC power cord.
Note:
1. Output audio is selectable via RS232 command Audio/[X]:[Y]. It’s possible toselect whether analog audio or
HDMI audio is output. Default is HDMI audio.
2. IR receivers connected to IR IN& IRALL IN should have carrier. If not, send command %0900. or %0901.to
activate native carrier mode or force carrier mode in the IR matrix to be launched between AVG-UHMS66
and far-end receivers.

AVG-UHMS66
4.5 Connection with HD300R
AVG-UHMS66 boasts 6 HDBaseT output ports which support PoC solution. Connect the HDBT output ports of
AVG-UHMS66 to HDBaseT Receivers supporting PoC (like HD300R) via twisted pair. Plug a power supply to the
power port of AVG-UHMS66, the HDBaseT Receivers will be powered using the PoC solution.
5. System Operations
5.1 Front Panel Button Control
The operation examples are showed in 2.1 Front Panel. Here we make a brief introduction to the system
operations.
5.1.1 Switching I/O connection
1) To convert one input to an output:
Operation: “input”+“output”+“ENTER”
Example: input 1 to output 2
Note: In default status, the 6 IR OUT sockets correspond with 6 HDMI INPUTS. When you convert an HDMI input
to an output, the corresponding IR OUT will be switched synchronously.
2) To convert an input to several outputs:
Operation: “input” + “output” + “output” +… + “ENTER”
Example: Switch input 2 to output 2, 4
3) To convert an input to all outputs:
Operation: “input” + “ALL” + “ENTER”
Example: Convert input 1 to all outputs
Note: Indicators of the pressed buttons will blink green for three times if the conversion is done, then it will be off.
If the conversion failed, they will be off immediately.

AVG-UHMS66
5.1.2 EDID Management
AVG-UHMS66 features EDID management to maintain compatibility between all devices. It can be controlled via
EDID learning and EDID invoking.
EDID Learning (from output):
One input port learns the EDID data of one output port
Operation: Press “EDID”, “INPUTS”+“OUTPUTS”+“ENTER”.
Example: Input 2 learns EDID data from output 4
All input ports learn EDID data from one output port
Operation: Press “EDID”, “ALL”+“OUTPUTS”+“ENTER”
Example: All input ports learn EDID data from output 4
Note: Indicators of the pressed buttons will blink green for three times if the conversion is done, then it will be off.
If the conversion failed, they will be off immediately.
EDID invoking:
There are six types of embedded EDID data. The chart below illustrates the detailed information of the embedded
EDID data:
Output Button EDID Data
1 1080P 3D 2CH
2 1080P 3D Multichannel
3 1080P 2D 2CH
4 1080P 2D Multichannel
5 3840x2160 2D（30Hz）
6 4096x2160 2D（30Hz）
Format: Press and hold “EDID” for 3 seconds, “INPUTS”+“OUTPUTS”+“ENTER”.
Operations:
Set EDID data for one input
Operation: Press “EDID” (hold for 3 seconds to enter in EDID setting status), “INPUTS”+“OUTPUTS”+“ENTER”.
Example: Set the EDID data of INPUT 4 to the fourth type of embedded EDID data:
Press (hold for 3 seconds) .
Set EDID data for all inputs
Operation: Press “EDID” (hold for 3 seconds to enter in EDID setting status), “ALL”+“OUTPUTS”+“ENTER”.
Example: Set the EDID data of all input ports to the second type of EDID data:
Press (hold for three seconds) .
Note: If the conversion is successful, indicators of the pressed buttons will blink green for three times at normal
speed; if the conversion failed, they will blink for three times quickly.
