Transmitter Overview
Indicator Troubleshooting Lights - Transmitter
POWER - On the back by power HDBaseT RJ45 port: (Red) 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 O = Power supply is not connected or there is no power present. In order to have
power, check the power supply, USP, Outlet, etc.
STATUS - On front 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 ashes during the sync process. If it is ashing continuously, a
picture may not be present.

STATUS - On front 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 ashes during the sync process. If it is ashing continuously, a
picture may not be present.
If the BLUE HDMI SIGNAL LIGHT is ashing, 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, a 2 meter
minimum is recommended per HDMI Specications.
·Set the EDID to state #1 (See Page[s] 11).
·Contact AVProEdge if these suggestions do not work.
LINK above the RJ45 (HDBaseT) Port: (Green) This indicator shows that the
HDBaseT link between the Tx and Rx is intact. This light should ALWAYS be solid. If
this light is ashing or not present attempt the following:
·Check the length. The maximum distances are 40m (131ft) on 4K and 70m
(230ft) on 1080P.
·Remove any coils of cable and make sure that there is not excess cabling.
·Bypass all patch panels and punch-down blocks.
·Re-terminate connectors. Sometimes, even if a cable tester indicates the run is valid,
something may be slightly o.
·Contact AVProEdge if these suggestions do not work.

Status above the RJ45 (HDBaseT) Port: (Amber) This indicator shows that
theres power present between the Tx and Rx. This light blink steadily indicating
everything is OK. If you do not see this light attempt the following:
·Check the length. The maximum distances are 40m (131ft) on 4K and 70m
(230ft) on 1080P.
·Remove any coils of cable and make sure that there is not excess cabling.
·Bypass all patch panels and punch-down blocks.
·Re-terminate connectors. Sometimes, even if a cable tester indicates the run is valid,
something may be just slightly o.
·Try powering from the Receiver instead of the Transmitter
·Contact AVProEdge if these steps do not work.

Powering the System Bi-Directional Power: The AC-EX70-UHD-KIT allows you
to choose where you power the kit. There are two options:
·Powering at the HDBaseT Tx - The power will be supplied to the Rx through the CAT cable.
·Powering at the HDBaseT Rx - The power will be supplied to the Tx through the CAT Cable
(This is known as “Reverse Power)
NOTE: There is no button or switch to set the Power Mode� Simply plug the
power supply into the Tx or Rx and the kit will electronically know what to do�

IR Conguration
There are three dierent 3.5mm IR ports located on the Transmitter and Receiver.
IR OUT - This port is designed to accept an IR Emitter
In the example below an IR receiving eye is plugged into the “IR IN” port of the HDBaseT Transmit-
ter, and a IR Emitter is plugged into the “IR OUT” port of the HDBaseT Receiver. This allows you to
use an IR Remote control to send and IR signal from the source side (TX) down the category cable to
the sync (RX) and control the display.

In the example below a control system is plugged into the “IPASS” port of the HDBaseT Transmitter
with a 3.5mm mono cable, and a IR Emitter is plugged into the “IR OUT” port of the HDBaseT Re-
ceiver. This allows you to send an IR signal from a control system down the category cable to the
sink (RX) and control the display.
IR IN - This port is designed to accept an IR Receiving Eye/Sensor
11
IPASS - This port is designed to be directly connected to a control system
via a 3.5mm Mono cable
NOTE: IPASS is only an INPUT. So you can go IPASS in from a control system to IR OUT.
Control System > IPASS (TX) ------IR OUT (RX)
Control System > IPASS (RX) ------IR OUT (TX)

12
EDID Management - Transmitter
Default out of the box all the dip switches are down (o) “BYPASS (HDBT)”mode. This will pass the
EDID of the connected display to the source un-altered.
NOTE: This is a 10.2Gbps extender, when in “BYPASS (HDBT)”make sure the source is
not sending a signal that exceeds this HDBaseT Extender set� See bandwidth chart locat-
ed on page[s] 14 for more information�
EDID Copy Instructions
Set the 4 DIP switches to 1 1 1 1 (all Up/On) with the connected sink (display) powered on. This will
copy and store the downstream EDID from the sink (display) onto the Transmitter. This will stay until
the above procedure is repeated. All 4 DIP switches do not need to be moved at the same time, mov-
ing them individualy or in any combination will copy the EDID from the connected sink device.

13
RS-232 Conguration
For extending RS-232 communication over the Category
cable. For these to pass a signal, both the Transmitter
and Receiver need to have the Dip Switch set to Normal
Mode, not RS-232 Program.
Default out of the box is MODE NORM (Normal Mode).
RS232 PROG (Program mode for Firmware updating).

Troubleshooting
·Verify Power - Check that the power supply is properly connected and on an active circuit.
·Verify Connections - Check that all cables are properly connected.
·TX/RX Indicator Troubleshooting Lights - Pg. 5-6
·IR Issues - Verify correct connections - P. 8-9
Note: Visibly ashing Emitters may not function properly, if you are experiencing issue try the
IR Cables that come in the box.
·Lights indicate everything is good but still not getting a picture, this may be a bandwidth
limitation. See Bandwidth Chart below to verify the signal is not exceeding the bandwidth of
the Extender kit (limited to 10.2Gbps).
