Introduction
PF-MS31T1-TX is an advanced presentation switching transmitter. It offers
two HDMI inputs and one VGA input with stereo audio. It can work with an
HDBT receiver (e.g. PF-MS31T1-RX) to extend video signal up to 70m/230ft
at 1080P and up to 40m/131ft at 4K@60Hz (YUV 4:2:0) over a Cat X cable.
With working with an HDBT receiver, PF-MS31T1-TX is able to simplify
system integration in classrooms and small offices, providing localized
presentation switching support over long distances.
Features
Offers two HDMI and one VGA inputs and one HDBT output.
Supports HDMI input resolutions up to 4K@60Hz YUV 4:2:0 and HDCP
2.2; VGA input supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200@60Hz.
Supports auto signal switching.
Via a Cat 6a/7 cable, signal transmission up to 40m/131ft at 4K@60Hz
(YUV 4:2:0) and 70m/230ft at 1080P.

Installation and Wiring
Installation
CAUTION: Before installation, please ensure the device is disconnected from
the power source.
Steps to install brackets:
1. Attach the installation bracket to the enclosure using the screws provided
in the package separately.
2. The bracket is attached to the enclosure as shown.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 for the other side of the device.
4. Attach the brackets to the surface you want to hold the device against
using the screws (provided by others).
Wiring
Warnings:
Before wiring, disconnect the power from all devices.
During wiring, connect and disconnect the cables gently.
Steps to complete wiring:
1. Connect the VGA (such as PC) and HDMI sources (such as Blu-ray
player, Apple TV, 4K media player, etc) to the VGA IN, AUDIO IN and
HDMI IN ports of the transmitter respectively.
2. Connect the HDBT OUT of the transmitter to the HDBT IN of an HDBT
receiver (e.g. PF-MS31T1-RX) via a qualified CAT5e/6/7 cable.
3. Connect an HDMI source (such as BYOD system) to the HDMI IN port of
9
the receiver.
4. For Device control through RS232: Connect a PC to the RS232 port of
the transmitter.
5. Connect the included DC 12V power supply to the PF-MS31T1-RX
receiver.
One-way PoH enables the power to be sent from PF-MS31T1-RX
receiver to PF-MS31T1-TX transmitter along a single Cat X cable, and no
additional power adapter is required at the transmitter.

Input Source Switching
The transmitter supports auto and manual switching between the HDMI and
VGA inputs.
Auto Switching
Press AUTO button, auto switch function will be activated immediately.
Priority: HDMI 1 > HDMI 2 > VGA.
1. When multiple sources are inserted, power on all devices, the input in
top priority will be selected.
2. When a source is removed, the input will be switched to the source in
top priority automatically.
3. When a new source is inserted, the input will be switched to the new
source automatically.
Note:
•The Auto Switching function is enabled by default once all devices are
powered on.
•You can also enable or disable Auto Switching function through Telnet
API or Web UI.
Manual Switching
You can manually switch to specific inputs among the multiple sources
through corresponding buttons on front panel and Telnet API. When the
manual switch function is triggered, the auto switch function will be
inactivated simultaneously.

RS232 Control
Advanced users may need to control the PF-MS31T1-TX through RS232 port
using API commands. API Command for RS232 control is available in
separate API document. For more information, please contact with the
product manufacturer or local dealer. A professional RS232 serial interface
software (e.g. UART assist) may be needed.
Before executing API command through RS232 serial connection, please
ensure the RS232 interface of the transmitter and the computer are
configured correctly.
