1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The LBC-H/V-T-WP transmitter is a high performance, low cost,
miniature, Link BridgeTM HDBaseT VGA/HDMI Transmission System
that embeds the source audio into the VGA video signal. It carries one
(1)unidirectionalHDMIvideoorone VGA/YPbPr signal with one (1) uni-
directional embedded stereo audio, and one (1) RS-232 data channel.
This unique CAT 5e/6 transmission system lets your digital flat panel
display extend up to 70m (230 ft) at 4K2K and WUXGA (1920x1200 @
60Hz)or 720p/1080i/1080p HDTV video resolution.
LBC-H/V-T-WPis a 2gangmulti-inputwallplatetransmitter.Wheneither
theVGA or HDMI with active signalis connected, thesignal will besent
to the compatible HDBaseT receiver automatically. The ‘VGA/HDMI’
button on the wall plate is available for manual signal selection if both
VGAandHDMI with activesignalinputsareconnected at thesametime.
TheWallplateisalso capable ofbeingcontrolledviaRS-232commands
sentbyalocalRS-232connectionorviaaremoteHDBaseTreceiver.In
addition,the LBC-H/V-T-WPsupportsPoH(PoweroverHDBaseT)where
itcanbepowered by a remote Matrix, a compatible receiver or localDC
adapter.
LBC-H/V-T-WPalso comes up with an automated displaycontrol which
canautomaticallyturn on/offdisplaymonitorupon thepresence/absence
of input video signal. Section 5.0 details this feature.
In addition, the LBC-H/V-T-WP transmitter is compatible with our LBH
andLBCSeries receivers.ThismakesbothCAT5e/6transmission and

3.0 SETUP
The BCI LBC HDBaseT Extender Series units are used in pairs. One
LBC-H/V-T-WP transmitter unit islocated atthenear-end(source) and
connected through a single category cable, to one of the LBC or LBH
receivers like the LBC-HDBT-R receiver shown below and located at
the far-end (sink) of the link. Figure 3-1 depicts a typical installation for
theLBC-H/V-T-WPand LBC-HDBT-R.
3.1 Mounting
Beforeinstalling the units intoyour housing,make sure thereis
enoughspacetopullandconnectboththeelectricaland category
cables without stressing them beyond the manufacturer’s
limitations (also known as the minimum bend radius).
3.2 Cabling and Connectors
In order to setup the LBC-H/V-T-WP properly, make sure to
observe the following instructions when installing the proper
cables. The LBC-H/V-T-WP requires two parts to the cabling
setup, the video signal and the transmission connections.

4.0 DC POWER CONNECTION
Congratulations! You are now ready to power up the LBC-H/V-T-WP
and set up your network connection. In order to make sure that you
have a proper installation, please observe the following:
1. Your AC jack has power.
2. The 24VDC power supply is working.
3. Your electrical systemhas proper grounding(this ensures that
your power supply does not suffer from voltage variations).
4. Power Surge Protection. This is optional, but highly
recommended.A UPS system provides voltage regularity as
well as prevents spikes from occurring, thus protecting your
LBC-H/V-T-WPfrom sensitive voltage conditions.
TheLBC-H/V-T-WPderivespowerfromanexternal24VDCpowersupply
orviaPoH(PoweroverHDBaseT).Thispowersupply is a wall mounted
AC/DC adapter, 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, at 1.0A. This power supply
comes standard for the LBC-H/V-T-WP unless otherwise specified. To
provide power to the LBC-H/V-T-WP, simply connect the power cord,
alreadyprovided with the units, and connect ittothewall jack. (Youwill
findonepowercordperunit).Oncethepowercordhasbeenconnected
tothewalljack,connect24VDCtotheunitand the unit should power up
immediately. If you have any problems or concerns, regarding the
installation, make sure that you have taken the proper steps to ensure
a proper power connection. Otherwise, feel free to contact us for any
questionsyou may have.

5.0 AUTOMATED DISPLAY CONTROL
The LBC-H/V-T-WP may be used to control the LCD or Projector
connectedtothe HDBaseTreceiver. When theLBC-H/V-T-WPis“woken
up”byconnecting avideosource,it willsendthepreprogrammed “Power
ON” command, followed by the “2nd command” and “3rd command.”
WhentheLBC-H/V-T-WPtimesoutdue to lack of video oractivity,itwill
send the preprogrammed “Power Off” command.
Onewilluse LBC-H/V-T-WPConfigurationUtilityin a PCtopre-configure
the above automated display control commands.
Automated Display Control Functional Details
1. Upon detection ofHDMI or VGAsignalactivity,the unit is capable
of sending the ‘Power On Command,’ ‘2nd Command,’ and ‘3rd
Command’to theconnecteddisplaymonitorviaHDBaseTreceiver
unit’sRS-232port. Theuser will configure the delay between the
commandsvia the Configuration Utility.
2. Upon disconnection of the HDMI or VGA signal by the user and
reachingthe time out configuredby theuser dueto lackof video,
the unit will send the preprogrammed “Power Off” command to
the connected display.
3. The unit will detect RS232 response from the display for
acknowledgement of receipt of the Power On command code.
4. Theunitwillautomaticallysend outatroublecode (^NR005<CR>),
ifitdoes not receive an RS232response on Power Oncommand
after 5 repeated attempts (unless user selects ‘skip checking
power on return code’),
5. The unit will be capable of display control directly from work
station using the LBC-H/V-T-WPconfiguration utility.
