1. Connect a UHD/HD source to the HDMI IN port on the AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS-TX.
2. Connect a UHD/HD display to the HDMI OUT port on the AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS-RX.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable, from the HDBaseT OUT port on the AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS-TX,
to the HDBaseT IN port on the AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS-RX.
4. Connect each of the included 5 V DC power supplies to the DC 5V locking power
receptacles on both the AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS-TX and AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS-RX.
5. Connect each of the power supplies to an available AC outlet.
Installation
IMPORTANT: The DIP switch, on the bottom of both the transmitter and receiver,
must be set to HDBaseT mode for normal operation. If this is not the case, then
disconnect power from the unit, set the DIP switch to HDBaseT mode, and then
reconnect the power.
IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten or apply high-torque devices to the locking
connector. Doing so may damage the power receptacle and/or locking connector.
Testing HDBaseT Signal Integrity
The AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS Analyzer is a free, downloadable software application that is used to
test the signal integrity of HDBaseT cables. The software is available from Atlona.com, on the
AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS product page.
1. Download and run the AT-HDR-EX-2PS Analyzer.exe le. The software comes with a
ConnectorTool.dll le. The DLL le must exist in the same folder as the executable, in order
for the software to run.
2. Verify that the DIP switch, on the bottom of the unit, is set to the HDBaseT position, as
shown below.
Requirements
• AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS-TX / AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS-RX
• AT-HDR-EX-70-2PS Analyzer software
