The product is intended to be installed by skilled technicians. For installation, please contact a system integrator
or IDK. Improper installation may lead to the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage.
●Insert the power plug into an outlet that is unobstructed.
Unobstructed access to the plug enables unplugging the product in case of any extraordinary failure, abnormal
situation or for easy disconnection during extended periods of non-use.
●Insert the power plug into an appropriate outlet completely.
If the plug is partially inserted, arching may cause the connection to overheat, increasing the risk of electrical
shock or fire. Do not use a damaged plug or connect to a damaged outlet.
●Unplug the product from the AC power source during installation or service.
When connecting peripheral devices to this product, unplug all involved devices from outlets. Ground potential
differences may cause fire or other difficulties.

2 About HDC-TH200
The HDC-TH200 is a transmitter for long-distance transmission of HDMI/DVI and Analog (video and audio)
input signals over a category cable.
Since HDMI/DVI signals are transmitted without compression or processing, the image quality can be kept.
Analog video signals can be converted to digital signal with high image quality by 12 bit quantization.
1 channel HDMI signal or DVI signal and one channel analog input video signals (composite, Y/C (S-Video),
RGB, and YPbPr) are supported. Selected input signal is converted to HDBaseT signal and output.
1 channel digital and analog audio is supported. Audio signal is embedded to video signal and transmit as
HDBaseT signal.
The HDC has LAN port as communication port and HDBaseT signal support bidirectional LAN
communication.

6 Precautions
Before connecting to external devices, follow the precautions below.
6.1 Attaching Rubber feet
First, clean the bottom surface of the HDC as needed, and then peal the release papers from the rubber feet
and place them in each of the four corners.
6.2 Installation
When installing the HDC, please observe the following precautions.
Do not stack or place the HDC directly on top of another HDC
Do not block vent holes. To provide adequate ventilation, maintain sufficient clearances around the HDC
(1.2 in. (30 mm) or more)
When the HDC needs to be mounted in an enclosed space, ensure that a sufficient ventilation/cooling
system is provided to keep the ambient temperature at 104°F (40°C) or lower. If inadequately vented, the
product’s service life, operation, and reliability may be affected.
Maintain adequate clearances (1.2 in. (30 mm) or more) as shown below

6.3 Cabling
When connecting the HDC to external devices, please observe the following precautions.
Read manuals for the external devices.
Before connecting cables to the HDC or an external device, dissipate static electricity by touching
grounded metal such as equipment racks before handling signal cables. Failure to observe this precaution
may result in ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.
Power all units off before connecting cables.
Be sure to fully seat all plugs and connections and dress cables to reduce stress on connectors.
Secure HDMI cables using cable clamps to prevent connectors from being accidently pulled out of ports.

HDC-TH200 User Guide/Command Guide

6.3.2 Category cable
To ensure the best performance with category cables, select a high quality category cable type, ensuring that
proper pinning and pairing requirements are observed.
Cat5e UTP/STP and Cat6 UTP/STP can be used, but we recommend CAT.5E HDC cable* for optimal
performance.
If using STP cables, connect the FG connector to a local electrical ground bonding point. Without bonding
FG to ground, the shielding feature may not effectively eliminate interference. If using UTP cables, it is still
recommend that the FG connector be used.
The STP cables are less affected by interference or external noise than UTP cables.
Connectors for long-haul transmission are the same as that of eight-core modular connector used for
Ethernet, but the transmission system is not the same so that it cannot be connected to Ethernet.
The maximum transmission distance of a category cables is the shorter distance of the maximum
transmission distances of transmitter/receiver/sink device connected to the HDC.
Pin assignments: T568A or T568B straight
Do not pull the cable using excessive force. The allowable tension of the category cable is 110 N.
Do not bend the cable at a sharp angle. Keep the bend radius four times of the cable diameter or larger.
Do not clamp or tie the cable tightly; leave some space allowing the cable to move slightly.
If you use multiple category cables, we recommend keeping a distance between the cables or not to place
the cables closely in parallel.
Keep the category cable running as straight as possible. Looping or coiling the cable, causes it to be more
easily affected by noise; especially when using longer cable run lengths.
Do not place the cable in an electrically noisy environment, since high-speed impulsive noise may couple
into the category cable. Use of a high-output radio transmission device near the HDC or remote receivers
may interfere with or interrupt video and or audio signals.
If the total transmission distance from the transmitter to receiver is 328 ft. (100 m) or less, up to two cable
interconnection points can be used. Products supporting Cat6A (10GBase-T) are recommended.
The table below shows supported transmission distance for each category.
Note that specified distances may shorten depending on the conditions within the actual environment.

*The CAT.5E HDC cable is a double-shielded category cable optimized for video signal transmission.
The double-shielded structure protects the video signal from external interference. It is certified to
500 MHz bandwidth at distances up to 328 ft. (100 m) and verified to meet requirements specified by
HDBaseT Alliance.

Note:
If there is a problem in the transmission path, video or audio may be interrupted. Check the “[Table 6.1]”
above.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to shorten the category cable.
