Product Introduction
Thanks for choosing the PT-HDBT-210 HDMI 2.0 via HDBaseT Extender, which
consists of a transmitter and a receiver module. It can extend 4K video to a distance
up to 40 meters and 1080p video to distances up to 70 meters over a single CATx
cable. It supports audio de-embedding and ARC. It also supports bidirectional IR and
RS232 to be passed through to control source or display device remotely. The PoC
feature allows the transmitter and the receiver to be powered by only one power
adapter in the system. Besides passing EDID information from the display, there are
multiple built-in EDID settings that can be selected by the 4-pin DIP switch on the
front panel of the transmitter. Further, the extender supports convenient firmware
upgrades using the Micro-USB port.

DIP Switch Operation
EDID Management
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to
match its video resolution with the connected display. By default, the source device
obtains its EDID from the first connected display. Meanwhile, since the displays
with different capabilities are connected to the extender, the DIP switch on the
front panel of transmitter can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure the
compatibility in video resolution and aspect-ratio.

The switch represents “0” when in the lower (OFF) position, and it represents “1”
when putting the switch in the upper (ON) position.
Switch 1~3 are used for EDID settings. The DIP switch status and its corresponding
setting are shown at the back of the product.

Multi-CH: Supports LPCM 8CH, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD , Dolby Digital5.1, DTS 5.1,
Dolby Digital Plus.
User-defined EDID Setting
Except directly invoking the built-in EDID, the specific EDID can be customized by
following the process below..
1) Rename the user-defined EDID according to the following format.
EC_xx_xxxxx_xxxx_xxx.bin
EC: Fixed value
xx: EDID ID. It is “15”.
xxxxx: Video resolution.
xxxx: Refresh rate.
xxx: Audio format.
Example: EC_15_3840x2160_60Hz_ Dolby.bin
2) Connect the USB port of the transmitter to the PC using a USB cable and then
power on the transmitter. The PC will automatically detect a virtual disk named
“BOOTDISK”.
3) Double-click to open the disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” will be showed.
4) Copy the user-defined EDID (such as EC_15_3840x2160_60Hz_Dolby.bin) to
the “BOOTDISK” disk.
5) Reopen the disk to check if the filename “READY.TXT” has changed to
"SUCCESS.TXT”. If yes, the user-defined EDID was successfully imported into
the transmitter and saved as its corresponding EDID successfully.
6) Remove the USB cable, and then reboot the transmitter.
7) Now the new EDID can be invoked by setting the DIP switch status to “111”.
