1. INTRODUCTION
This HDBaseT 2.0 Transmitter is a great solution for extending
uncompressed HD audio and video as well as Ethernet and control via
a single run of Cat.5e/6/7 cable over distances of up to 100 meters.
Multiple data and control signal types are supported, including USB 2.0,
IR, RS-232 and LAN connections. An independent analog stereo audio
input is also provided to enable easy audio signal extension. The HDMI
input supports transmitting resolutions up to a maximum of 4K@30Hz
(4:4:4, 8-bit) or 4K@60Hz (4:2:0, 8-bit) over HDBaseT to a compatible
Receiver.
When paired with this unit’s standard Receiver, 2 switchable USB 2.0
host (Type B) connections are available (1 on the Transmitter, 1 on the
Receiver) which can connect to devices on up to 6 USB 2.0 (Type A)
ports (3 on the Transmitter, 3 on the Receiver) forming a highly exible
KVM extension conguration (Note: Only 1 USB host may be active at
a time).
This Transmitter (PD) may be powered locally using a standard power
supply, or it can be powered by PoH (Power over HDBaseT) provided
by a compatible Receiver (PSE), allowing for greater exibility within
different installation scenarios. This unit is controllable via a front panel
button and RS-232.

1POWER LED: This LED will illuminate to indicate the unit is on and
receiving power.
2LINK LED: This LED will illuminate solidly when a live connection with
a compatible Receiver is active.
3USB 2.0 (Type A) Ports: Connect directly to standard USB 2.0
peripherals such as a mouse, keyboard or ash drive to extend
their USB functionality to the designated Host Port.
4USB SELECT Button & LED: Press this button to toggle between the
USB Host Ports on the Transmitter or compatible Receiver. The LED
will illuminate to indicate which USB Host Port is currently active.
If the LED is off, the USB Host Port on the connected Receiver is
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.
USB 2.0 (Type B) Port: Connect directly to a standard USB host such
as a PC or laptop to extend its USB functionality to all currently
connected USB devices.
Note: Multiple USB hosts may be connected at once (up to 2 total,
between the Tx and a compatible Rx unit) with a single selected
host active at a time.

controllable device with a 3-pin adapter cable for the extension of
RS-232 signals between both ends of the HDBaseT connection.
3LOCAL RS-232 Terminal Block: Connect directly to a PC, laptop,
or other serial control device with a 3-pin adapter cable to send
RS-232 commands to control the unit.
4IR IN Port: Connect to the provided IR Extender to receive IR
control signals and extend them to devices connected to the
other end of the HDBaseT connection. Ensure that the remote
being used is within direct line-of-sight of the IR Extender.
IR OUT Port: Connect to the provided IR Blaster to transmit IR signals
from the other end of the HDBaseT connection to devices within
direct line-of-sight of the IR Blaster.
5CAT 5e/6/7 OUT Port: Connect to a compatible HDBaseT Receiver
with a single Cat.5e/6/7 cable for transmission of all data signals.
Power via PoH will also be supplied to this unit when connected to
a compatible PSE Receiver.
6HDMI IN Port: Connect to HDMI source equipment such as a media
player, game console or set-top box.
7L/R IN Port: Connect to the analog stereo output of a device such
as a CD player or PC. This is transmitted as an independent audio
channel to compatible HDBaseT Receivers.
