Introduction

Introducing the EX200 HDBaseT™ Receiver with
Integrated Class-D Amplifi er
Integrated Class-D Amplifi er
The EX200 is a mul-funcon HDBaseT™ Receiver that extracts HDMI for a local display
or projector. Audio associated with the HDMI source is sent to the HDMI display and
simultaneously extracted for local stereo audio “line level” output and/or local speakers.
A stereo audio input jack offers an audio override for paging, background music, or a local
microphone. Bi-direconal IR is used with certain transmiers for bi-direconal control of
source devices and displays. Finally, the EX200 provides display resoluon control of source
devices (computer, laptop, iPad™, etc.) using an EDID table seng.

Connecting to the System
HDBaseT™ Input
HDBaseT™ Input
Using a CAT5e/CAT6 cable, connect an HDBaseT™ transmier to the EX200. Two LEDs show the
connecon status between the transmier and the EX200 receiver. The green (le) LED indi-
cates link status. The amber (right) LED indicates video and HDCP signal presence.
HDMI Output
HDMI Output
Connect an HDMI cable from the EX200’s HDMI Out port to the display. The display will receive
high resoluon video along with the associated audio from the source device or the audio
injected from the Stereo Audio Input Override. To hear the audio coming from the HDBaseT™
source device, press the audio Source Selector buon unl the HDBT indicator is illuminated.
Speakers
Speakers
Connect speakers to the spring loaded connectors. Speakers must be 4 or 8 Ohm and able to
handle up to 25W. Audio volume is adjustable by RS232 control and the source device’s volume
control. Integraters frequently use RS232 to adjust the “nominal level” used by devices such as
Sony® BluRay™ players that do not have volume control. Volume control from desktop comput-
ers, laptops, and mobile devices can be adjusted by those devices as necessary.
Powered Speakers or External Amplifi ers

When using an external sound reinforcement system, connect the audio line out (RCA Leand
RCA Right) to the amplifier. The EX200’s line out volume level is not adjustable. It is up to the
external sound reinforcement system to adjust volume levels.
Aux Stereo Audio Input
Aux Stereo Audio Input
Background audio, from an Apple® iPod™ or other MP3 player, can be aached at the auxillary
stereo input connector (L/R). To use this input, simply press the audio Source Selector unl the
L/R Audio Source Indicator is illuminated. At this point, you should hear the background audio.
Using the RS232 interface, external controllers can select this audio source as necessary.

External 3rd-party control devices, such as those manufactured by Crestron, AMX, Extron, and
FSR, can control the EX200 using the RS232 interface. A computer running a terminal emulaon
program can also control an EX200 using this interface. When connecng an RS232 cable from
a computer to the EX200, use a straight through cable. When connecng an external 3rd party
control device, the requirement is oen to use a null-modem cable.
Most source devices send an electronic inquiry to the display asking for informaon about it’s
capabilies. The display sends a table of informaon called the Extended Display Idenficaon
Data (EDID). Using this informaon, the source device changes it’s resoluon to match the
nave resoluon of the display or some other resoluon that is supported by both source and
display.
The EX200 intercepts the display’s response to the EDID table request and sends its own EDID
informaon to “trick” the source into sending it’s content in a parcular resoluon and/or
audio format. This method allows us to change the resoluon of the source device without
reprocessing the video image and degrading the quality of the nave image.
The EDID Resoluon Select dip switches can be changed using a standard flat-blade screw
driver or fingernail. Each locaon (1-4) can either be ON or OFF. Look at the following table to
determine the proper EDID seng for your specific applicaon.
