1. INTRODUCTION
This 4K UHD+HDMI over HDBaseT transmitter and receiver pair uses
HDBaseT 3.0, the newest generation of HDBaseT technology, and is the
perfect solution for extending full bandwidth (18Gbps) HDMI 2.0, 4K@60Hz
(4:4:4, 8-bit) video with HD audio via a single run of Cat.6A/7 cable over
distances of up to 100 meters. Multiple control and data signals may also be
transmitted along with the audio and video, including bi-directional IR, RS-
232, USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet.
When the transmitter and receiver are used together, 2 micro USB host
connections are available (1 on the transmitter, 1 on the receiver) for
connecting a single USB host (such as a laptop or PC) to devices on up to
4 USB 2.0 (Type-A) ports (2 on the transmitter, 2 on the receiver) forming
a highly exible KVM extension conguration. This transmitter and receiver
pair is ideal for use in any video extension scenario, but they excel when
latency-free, uncompressed, high resolution video is critical, such as medical
installations, live conferences, and education.

HDBaseT connection.
2AUDIO IN 3-pin Terminal Block: Connect to the analog audio output
of a device such as a media player or game console using a 3-pin
adapter cable. Audio is sent to the analog audio output on the connected
compatible receiver.
3AUDIO OUT 3-pin Terminal Block: Connect to powered speakers or
an amplier for analog audio output using a 3-pin adapter cable. Audio
is sourced from the analog audio input on the connected compatible
receiver.
4RS-232 4-pin Terminal Block: Connect to a PC, laptop, or serial
controllable device with a 4-pin adapter cable for the extension of
RS-232 signals between both ends of the HDBaseT connection.
5IR 4-pin Terminal Block (In/Out): Connect to both an IR Blaster and
Extender using a 4-pin Y-adapter cable to transmit and receive IR control
signals and extend them to devices connected to the other end of the
HDBaseT connection.
6USB 2.0 Ports (Type-A): Connect directly to a standard USB device
such as a mouse, keyboard, or ash drive to extend their USB
functionality to the currently active Micro-USB host port.
7AUDIO Button: Press this button to toggle the transmitter’s analog audio
stream source between the analog audio input (bypass) and the HDMI
input’s audio (extract).
Note: HDMI audio extraction is only available with LPCM 2.0 sources.
Pressing this button will also change the setting on the receiver.
