HDBaseT output
• The Yellow HDBaseT status link light will blink when the output is on and working
• The Green HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the RTI HDBaseT Transmitter and
HDBaseT Receiver
• The Green HDBaseT link light will be lit when a there is an active HDBaseT Receiver connected to the Transmitter
• The Green HDBaseT link light will be o when a there is no connection with a HDBaseT Receiver
• The HDMI link light will be o when there is no connection with a source device
• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a source device
VEX100-18G-RX
• The HDMI link light will be o when there is no connection with a display
• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display
• The HDBaseT link light will be o when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT input
• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the RTI Transmitter and HDBaseT
Receiver
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the Transmitter and
an active connection is achieved with the RTI HDBaseT Receiver
