Overview
The CTP-1301 is an advanced switching extender kit featuring four inputs and includes a UHD scaler. The TX offers two HDMI
inputs and one VGA input with stereo audio, and the RX offers an HDMI input, enabling an additional AV source to be connected at
the display location. The TX supports HDBT output up to 70m/230ft at 1080P and up to 40m/130ft at 4K@60Hz (YUV 4:2:0) over
a Shielded Cat 6a/7 cable. The RX supports the stereo audio de-embedding output from the HDMI output and connection with
an audio system, such as an amplifier. Built-in scaler with resolutions supported up to 4K@60Hz YUV 4:4:4 ensures the optimal
image quality for video signal output, and matching the native resolution of the display.
The CTP-1301 allows automatic and manual switching among all inputs. It supports Telnet/Web UI control through NetLinx
Studio, including CEC control to turn On/Off the display and Relay control to raise/lower a projector screen. PoH enables the TX to
receive power from the power-on RX, requiring the use of only one power supply.
The CTP-1301 simplifies system integration in classrooms and small offices, and facilitates installation under conference tables
and in lecterns, providing localized presentation switching support over long distances.

Wiring
Warning:
• Before wiring, disconnect the power from all devices.
• Connect and disconnect the cables with care.
1. Connect video source
Connect the VGA and HDMI sources (such as PC, Blu-ray player, Apple TV, 4K media player, etc) to the VGA IN and HDMI IN
ports of the CTP-1301 TX respectively.
2. Connect HDBT OUT
Connect HDBT OUT of the CTP-1301 TX to HDBT IN of the CTP-1301 RX with a Shielded Cat 6a/7 cable.
3. Connect HDMI IN
Connect an HDMI source (such as BYOD system) to the HDMI IN port of the CTP-1301 RX.
4. Connect HDMI OUT
Connect an HDMI display device (such as a projector) to the HDMI OUT of the CTP-1301 RX.
5. Connect AUDIO OUT
Connect an audio receiver to the AUDIO OUT of the CTP-1301 RX.
6. Connections for additional controloptions:
• LAN Control (through NetLinx/Telnet/Web UI): Connect CTP-1301 RX to the same network as the control PC or control
system (e.g. NX-3200) via its LAN port.
• RS232 Control: Connect an RS232 client device (e.g. projector) to the RS232 port of the CTP-1301 RX, and connect the
projector screen to RELAY port (1-2); send commands through NetLinx Studio to control the projector and screen.
7. C7. Connect the power adapter provided to the CTP-1301 RX.
One-way PoH enables the power to be sent from CTP-1301 RX to TX along a single Cat X cable; no additional power adapter
is required for theTX.
8. Power on all attacheddevices
When all connections are made and power is ON, check if all LED indicators on the CTP-1301 TX and RX are normal to
ensure the installation is successful. For LED indication, please refer to the Panel Description section.

OSD
The CTP-1301 supports OSD (On Screen Display) to display its IP address. Follow these steps to initiate OSD:
1. Press and Hold the front panel buttons Input 1 and Input 2 for at least 3 seconds.
2. The IP address of the CTP-1301 will display on the upper right of the connected display’s screen for about 15s and then
disappear.
Input Source Switching
The CTP-1301 Kit supports Auto and Manual Switching between the HDBT (HDMI, VGA) and HDMI inputs.
Auto Switching
1. When multiple sources are inserted, and power is ON for all devices, the input will be switched to the active source with the
highest priority.
Priority: VGA IN 1 > HDMI IN 2 > HDMI IN 3 > RX HDMI IN
2. When a new source is inserted, the input will be switched to it automatically, following the Last-In-First-Out rule.
3. When the currently selected source is removed, the input will first be switched to the most recently selected port. If the port
has no active source, the input will be switched to the active source with the highest priority.
4. When there is no source inserted, HDMI IN of RX will be selected as input.
Note:
• The Auto Switching function is enabled by default once all devices are powered on.
• Auto Switching can be set to Enabled or Disabled through NetLinx Studio and with the front panel button.
