Wiring and Connections
HDMI Cables
The AC-EX100-444-KIT uses the standard 19-pin HDMI female connector port for the inputs and
outputs.
Note:
Ensure all HDMI cables and devices can support the signal being sent. For maximum
performance, a Premium High Speed HDMI cable rated for 18Gbps will be more than
sufficient for signal transport if every device in the system can handle the signal.
Tip:
Ensure your HDMI cable is the correct length. The current HDMI specification calls for
cables to be between 2 to 10 meters (6.6 to 33 feet). Smaller wire cables may be unable to
transmit higher bandwidth signals like 4K60 over distances of even 5 meters (16 feet).
HDBaseT Link Wiring
The HDBT input and output ports on both the Transmitter and Receiver utilize HDBaseT 5Play™
Technology and feature PoH (Power over HDBaseT) for supplying power to either the Transmitter or
Receiver. For maximum performance, the recommended cabling is Category 6A or Category 7 STP,
all other performances cannot be guaranteed.
The recommended termination is based on TIA/EIA T568A or T568B standards for the wiring of the
twisted pair cables.
T568A
T568B

WWW.AVPROEDGE.COM • 2222 EAST 52nd STREET NORTH • SIOUX FALLS, SD 57104 • [phone]
USB Ports
The USB ports allow USB 2.0 extension (350 Mbps). Both the Transmitter and Receiver each have two
USB 2.0 Type A ports and one USB 2.0 Type B port.
Both the Transmitter and Receiver also have one USB Type C port. This is a courtesy port that is
primarily intended for servicing by AVPro Edge Technicians in the event of troubleshooting.
RS-232 Wiring and Control
The RS-232 control ports on both the Transmitter and Receiver are used to pass bidirectional control
signals to and from any RS-232 compatible device.
Serial control connections are made using the provided 3-pin terminal block connector. The wire slips
into the hole and locks with a screw located on top of the connector.
Wiring for this port uses a 3-pin terminal block connector to DB9 where only pins 2, 3, and 5 are used.
If the devices do not have a DB9 port, a USB to DB9 adapter may be required.
For RS-232 control, use a null modem serial cable adapter and set the serial communications to:
Baud: 57600, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, with no handshaking.
Add a carriage return (Enter key) after each command when using direct commands. The unified
command list (ASCII) can be located by entering the help command: Hfollowed by a carriage return.
IR Wiring
Both the Transmitter and Receiver feature three 3.5mm jack ports for IR control. IR connections are
made using the provided 3.5mm IR Emitter and IR Eye.

Connecting the Devices
1 Connect the HDMI source device to the Transmitter’s HDMI IN port.
2 Connect the HDMI output device to the Receiver’s HDMI OUT port.
3 Connect a Category 6A cable between the HDBT OUT port on the Transmitter to the HDBT IN
port on the Receiver.
4 Connect the 48V power supply to the 2-pin power connector port on either the Transmitter or
Receiver.
5 Power on the HDMI source and output devices.
Settings and Functionality
EDID Settings
EDID is managed by using the dipswitches located on the bottom panel of the Transmitter. Select an
EDID from the EDID Settings list and flip the dipswitches to the selected EDID setting.
1

Up
(on)
0
=
Down
(off)
To copy the EDID from the connected device, ensure the downstream device is powered on, then set
the EDID dipswitches to the USER EDID setting 111 (all up) on the Transmitter. This will copy and store
the connected device’s EDID to the USER EDID slot.
Note:
The extenders will retain only one copied EDID at a time on the USER EDID setting. If a new
EDID is copied by using the EDID dipswitches or API commands, it will overwrite the
previously copied USER EDID setting. Powering the extenders off/on or using one of the
other different EDID presets will not overwrite the USER EDID setting.
Test Pattern
Press the AUDIO SELECT button on the Transmitter until LED1 is lit, then press and hold the AUDIO
SELECT button again for 4 seconds until both LED1 and LED2 alternate flashing blue. This enables
the Transmitter’s built-in test pattern for performing various functional tests. To disable it, press and
hold the AUDIO SELECT button again for 4 seconds.

IR Control
IR can be used in three ways:
1 From Rack (Control System Direct): Connect a 3.5mm mono jack (TS) cable into an emitter port of
any control system directly into the I-PASS port on the transmitter to pass IR signals directly
to the remote end.
2 From Rack (Using IR-Eye): Connect the provided IR receiver eye cable into the IR-EYE port of the
transmitter to pass infrared signals generated from a device or IR remote.
3 From Remote End:Connect the provided IR receiver eye cable into the IR OUT port on the
receiver in order to send IR signals back to the rack and out of the transmitter’s IR OUT port
with an emitter.
USB Extension
Use the USB SETTINGS toggle button on the Receiver to select a USB setting, indicated by a blue
LED:
Auto: Bidirectional USB extension is automatically negotiated for device and host. It is
recommended to set the USB configuration mode into HOST or DEVICE mode. If extending
devices to a host in AUTO mode (both up and downstream) dropouts may occur as the extension
direction switches.
Host: Select this if you are connecting to a PC or laptop to the USB Type B HOST port on the either
the Transmitter or Receiver.
Device: Select this if you are connecting a keyboard, mouse, webcam, or other USB device into the
Transmitter.
ICT Mode Select
The AC-EX100-444-KIT is designed for up to 18Gbps uncompressed video transport. If existing wiring
infrastructure proves insufficient for passing 18Gbps, the ICT MODE SELECT toggle button can be
used to enable ICT MODE to reduce the output bandwidth to 10.2 Gbps on the extenders.

LED1 is illuminated. An active ARC/eARC signal must be received by the HDMI Output
connection from the display’s ARC/eARC port.
Extract Audio from Receiver (TOSLINK and ARC/eARC HDMI Output): If the audio is coming from the
Receiver’s TOSLINK port, press the AUDIO SELECT toggle button on the Receiver until LED2
is illuminated.
Note:
Both connected devices must support ARC/eARC. Ensure the port you are connecting
to is labeled ARC/eARC. Some device may require their ARC/eARC functionality to be
enabled. It is recommended to check the device’s user manual to verify the ARC/eARC
function is on or enabled.

Ethernet Extension
Ethernet usage is very straightforward, it is designed for driving network communication over the
HDBaseT link. The purpose of these ports is to act as a “hub”, meaning if one port is plugged into a
router then the other port on either the Transmitter or Receiver will have access to the network.
Other examples of Ethernet usage include:
• Supplying a hardwired Ethernet connection to video zones for on-device streaming and/or
local gaming devices and players.
• Providing server-based content from a server to a remote display.
• Supplying a zone with a hardwired Ethernet connection for a Wi-fi access point in remote
zones.
The ports are always active so long as one of the Ethernet ports on either the Transmitter or Receiver
is connected to the network—the other port will also have access.
Use the ETHERNET EXTENSION SPEED SELECT toggle switch located on the front panel of the
Transmitter to select either 1Gbps or 100Mbps.
Ethernet Indicator Lights
Left LED (Amber)
Indicates a stable Ethernet connection is made. This light should always be a solid amber.
Right LED (Green)
Indicates there is online activity. This light flashes randomly as data is transmitted. If it is not
illuminating, then there is no data coming through or the router may need to be reset.

HDBT Status Indicator Lights
The HDBaseT ports feature status indicator LEDs on both the Transmitter and Receiver for showing
active connections while troubleshooting.
Left LED (Amber) – Status
Indicates there is power present between the Transmitter and Receiver. Steady blinking amber
indicates normal operations. If this LED is not illuminated, check the following:
• Verify cable length is within the maximum distance of 100m (330ft).
• Remove any coils of cable and ensure there is no excess cabling.
• Bypass all patch panels and punch-down blocks.
• Re-terminate connectors ends. Use standard RJ-45 connectors, avoid using push-through or
“EZ” type ends, as these have exposed copper wiring at the tips that can cause signal
interference.
• Contact AVPro Edge Technical Support if these suggestions do not work.
Right LED (Green) – Link
Indicates there is an active link between the Transmitter and Receiver. Solid green indicates the
Transmitter and Receiver have been identified and are communicating with each other. If this LED is
not illuminated, check the following:
• Verify cable length is within the maximum distance of 100m (330ft).
• Remove any coils of cable and ensure there is no excess cabling.
• Bypass all patch panels and punch-down blocks.
• Re-terminate connectors ends. Use standard RJ-45 connectors, avoid using push-through or
“EZ” type ends, as these have exposed copper wiring at the tips that can cause signal
interference.
• Try locally powering the Receiver instead of the Transmitter.
• Contact AVPro Edge if these suggestions do not work.

Troubleshooting
• Verify Power – Check that the power supply is properly connected and is outputting 48V.
• Verify Connections – Check that all cables are properly connected and/or terminated where
applicable.
• Verify Terminations – Ensure you are using a minimum of CAT 6A UTP or STP without breaks such
as keystones, punch downs, or other interconnectors. Field terminatable plugs are
recommended.
• Black Screen When Switching Sources – Use a minimum of a 2 meter (6.6 feet) HDMI cable
between the source/sink device and the extender’s HDMI port.
• No Picture – Try setting a canned EDID from the Transmitter. See EDID Settings.
• IR Not Passing – Ensure the provided IR cables are being utilized and are connected to the
appropriate port. See IR Control.
