1. INTRODUCTION
This HDBaseT 2.0 Receiver is designed for use in environments needing
a wide range of exibility when it comes to inputs, outputs, and
control. With a 2 by 2 matrix arrangement of HDBaseT & HDMI inputs
and dual HDMI outputs this Receiver can handle a variety of source
routing scenarios. The HDMI input and outputs support resolutions
up to a maximum of 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) while the HDBaseT input
supports resolutions up to a maximum of 4K@60Hz (YUV 4:2:0, 8-bit). A
balanced analog stereo audio breakout is also provided (LPCM 2.0
sources only) allowing for professional local powered speakers to be
easily added to the system. The HDBaseT input not only supports video
and audio but also bi-directional Ethernet, RS-232, USB, and IR.
When paired with this unit’s standard Transmitter, up to 3 switchable
USB 2.0 host (Type B) connections are available (2 on the Transmitter, 1
on the Receiver) which connect to 6 USB 2.0 (Type A) device ports (3
on the Transmitter, 3 on the Receiver) for a multi-source, bi-directional,
and highly exible KVM conguration (Note: Only 1 USB host may be
active at a time).
This Receiver (PSE) can provide PoH (Power over HDBaseT) power to
the connected HDBaseT Transmitter (PD) (compatible Transmitters
only), allowing for greater exibility within different installation
scenarios. This unit is controllable via front-panel controls, WebGUI,
Telnet, and RS-232.

6.5 WebGUI Control
• Device Discovery
Please obtain the “Device Discovery” software from your authorized
dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily nd it.
Connect the unit and your PC/Laptop to the same active network
and execute the “Device Discovery” software. Click on “Find Devices
on Network” and a list of devices connected to the local network will
show up indicating their current IP address.
Note: The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.1.50.
By clicking on one of the listed devices you will be presented with the
network details of that particular device.
1) IP Mode: If you choose, you can alter the static IP network settings
for the device, or switch the unit into DHCP mode to automatically
obtain proper network settings from a local DHCP server. To switch
to DHCP mode, please select DHCP from the IP mode drop-down,
then click “Save” followed by “Reboot”.
2) WebGUI Hotkey: Once you are satised with the network settings,
you may use them to connect via Telnet or WebGUI. The network
information window provides a convenient link to launch the
WebGUI directly.

new name in the space provided and then click on the “Save
Name” button to conrm the change.
■ Upload: To upload a User EDID, press the “Upload” button next
to the User EDID slot you wish to upload into. An EDID Upload
window will appear, allowing you to locate and upload the
preferred EDID le (*.bin format) from a local PC. Once the
correct le has been selected, please click the “Upload”
button in the window, and the le will be transferred to the unit.
■ Download: To save an existing User EDID to your local PC, press
the “Download” button next to the User EDID slot you wish to
save. Depending on your browser settings you will either be
asked where to save the downloaded le, or the le will be
transferred to the default download location on your PC.
2) Sink EDID Download: To save the EDID from a connected display to
your local PC, select the sink from the dropdown list then press the
“Download” button. Depending on your browser settings you will
either be asked where to save the downloaded le, or the le will
be transferred to the default download location on your PC.
3) Set EDID Input Content/EDID Source: The Set EDID Input Content
section allows for the assignment of a specic EDID to either Input
port. Click on one or more input buttons on the left and then select
the new EDID source to use from the choices on the right. The
buttons will change color as you select them and the EDID change
will occur immediately across all selected Inputs.
Note: In most cases, assigning a new EDID to an input will cause
the affected input to briey blink out while the source adapts to
the new information.

Note: In some rare cases it is possible for custom or external EDIDs to
cause compatibility issues with certain sources. If this happens, it is
recommended to switch to one of the 6 default EDIDs for maximum
compatibility.
6.5.3 HDCP Tab
This tab provides the option of three HDCP operational modes that
can be assigned to any of the input ports.
1) Set HDCP Input Mode/HDCP Mode: The HDCP Input Mode section

port. Click on one or more input buttons on the left and then select
the new HDCP mode to use from the choices on the right. The

14
buttons will change color as you select them and the change in
HDCP behavior will occur immediately across all selected Inputs.
“Reference to Source” will make the input operate using the HDCP
version required by the connected source. “Reference to Display”
will limit the input to only accept the HDCP version supported by
the connected display. Selecting “Disable” will completely disable
HDCP support on that input.
6.5.4 USB Tab
This tab provides a way to select which USB Host Port (USB Type B) is
currently active.
Note: Changing the USB host will force the HDBaseT connection to
briey disconnect while it recongures. The connected host (PC,
Laptop, etc.) may also take a moment to detect all available devices.
1) Set USB Mode: Select the preferred USB Host Port, from the
displayed selection, to use as the currently active connection. The
change will occur immediately and all USB Device Ports (USB Type
A) on the Transmitter and Receiver will connect to the new host.
Note: When "Remote Host" is selected, Host Port 1 on the Transmitter
will become active. To select Host Port 2 on the Transmitter, please
use the Transmitter's WebGUI.

15
6.5.5 Audio Tab
