Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The Video Wall over IP Extender Kit with PoE (500754) allows HDMI equipment to be connected up to
330 ft (100m) @ 1080p via one (1) Cat5e/6 unshielded twisted pair cable in a point-to-point
configuration. Point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint, and Video Wall configurations are also
possible by connecting several Transmitters and Receivers to the same Ethernet local IP network via an
Ethernet Switch. The Transmitter (500754-TX) and Receiver (500754-RX) also support PoE (PD) if
used with a PoE Ethernet Switch. The kit comes with one (1) Transmitter and one (1) Receiver as well
as an IR Emitter and IR Sensor for remote control applications. Additional Transmitters and Receivers
may be purchased as kits or purchased separately depending on the intended application and number of
units required.
For the point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configuration the Ethernet Switch must have
Gigabit ports and DHCP Server capability and additionally support the IGMP communication protocol
for the multipoint-to-multipoint case. MuxLab recommends using the Cisco SG300 Series Managed
Switches.
The MuxLab ProDigital Network Controller (500811) is available to simplify the configuration and
utilization of the 500754 and other MuxLab IP based products via an Ethernet web interface.
Applications
Applications include commercial and residential AV systems, classroom projector systems, digital
signage, boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, and medical information systems.
Installation
1. Identify the connectors on the Transmitter and Receiver as indicated on the product labels,
see the above front and rear product views for further details.
2. Verify that the distance between the HDMI Transmitter and Receiver is within MuxLab
specifications (see Specifications table for further details).
3. To install the Transmitter:
3a. Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant cable.
3b. If the application is point-to-point, then connect one (1) length of Cat 5e/6 (or higher)
grade UTP cable to the RJ45 LINK connector on the Transmitter. If transmitting over
the network, use an Ethernet Switch between the TX & RX unit.
4. To install the Receiver:
4a. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant cable.
4b. If the application is point-to-point, then connect one (1) Cat 5e/6 cable (or higher)
coming from the Transmitter, to the RJ45 LINK connector on the Receiver. If
transmitting over the network, use an Ethernet Switch between the TX & RX unit.

5. If the configuration is a point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint:
5a. You will need to use an Ethernet Switch with Gigabit ports and DHCP Server support. In
addition IGMP Protocol support is required for the multipoint-to-multipoint case. Verify that
the Ethernet Switch is configured correctly and that the DHCP Server is enabled and
that the IGMP Protocol is enabled for multipoint-to-multipoint applications. See the
operating manual for more information about configuring the Ethernet Switch.
5b. Connect all Transmitters and Receivers to the Ethernet Switch.
5c. Use the DIP Switches to select a unique Device ID for each Transmitter present on the
network and configure each Receiver Device ID to the corresponding selected Transmitter.
Note: This step is not necessary if the MuxLab ProDigital Network Controller (500811) is used.
6. Powering the Transmitter or Receiver via an external power supply is only necessary where PoE
(PSE) is unavailable. If PoE is unavailable, connect the 5 VDC power supply to each Receiver and
to an AC power outlet. Next connect each Transmitter in the same manner. If power is present, the
green power LED on each Transmitter and Receiver will illuminate.
Note: Power ‘ON’ the Video Wall over IP Extender only after all data connections are made.
7. Power ‘ON’ the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.
8. This product supports IR pass-thru control. If infrared remote control is needed to control the
Source equipment from the Display, connect the IR Sensor to the 3.5mm Stereo Jack of the
Receiver and the IR Emitter to the 3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.
Note: You can differentiate the IR Sensor and the IR Emitter by looking at the 3.5 mm plug.
The IR Sensor is using a Stereo Plug (3 Contacts) and the IR Emitter a mono plug (2
Contacts).
9. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed at the hand-held remote control. For a clear IR signal
reception, aim the hand-held remote control at the top of the IR Sensor enclosure.
10. Position the IR Emitter as close as possible to the source’s IR Sensor (i.e. DVD player). For a clear
IR signal reception, the IR Emitter can be glued on the source’s IR Sensor. The IR Emitter’s signal
is transmitted from the side of the enclosure.
11. This product supports RS232 bidirectional communication. On the Transmitter, the RS232 port is
configured as a DCE; and on the Receiver as a DTE. Please connect your RS232 cable accordingly
as previously indicated. The default settings are 9600, N, 8, 1.
12. To send an RS232 packet to a specific device, you need to put the IP address in front of the packet.
This communication is meant to be machine to machine; and hexadecimal codes must be used. For
example, to send the message “Hello” to a device having an IP address of 192.168.168.55, send the
following hexadecimal string: 0xC0 0xA8 0xA8 0x37 0x48 0x65 0x6c 0x6c 0x6f. (or “192 168 168
55 H e l l o” in hexadecimal).
13. To setup a video wall, please use the 500811 ProDigital Network Controller and follow
the steps in the controller manual.
14. The following diagram illustrates a typical 2x2 Video Wall configuration.
