Introduction
The SY-HDBT-131EC Set is a professional 4K HDBaseT Distribution Splitter 3 with HDBaseT outputs and a
local HDMI output. This splitter is supplied with HDBaseT receivers and accessories. Only one PSU is
required as all the receivers are powered over the cat6 (PoC).
The HDMI input is distributed to the local HDMI output and each of the three HDBaseT outputs. The HDBaseT
outputs are designed to function with the SY-HDBT-EC receiver.
The HDBT-131EC can deliver 4K video up to 40m, or 1080p up to 70m and provides power to each receiver
via their own cat6a cable. Good quality cat6/6a cabling is recommended for best performance and sustained
signal quality.
This splitter is HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2 compliant, with intelligent EDID management.
Features

MUBT-44EC / SY- MUBT-88EC switchers or with the SY-HDBT-70EC transmitter. Connecting a receiver to any
other equipment may harm the receiver or prevent all its features from operating fully.

Important
The products described in this manual must only be connected to other product in the SY EC range.
Do NOT connect the HDBaseT connections to any other network or any other HDBaseT device.
Connecting these HDBaseT devices to other networks or HDBaseT devices may result in permanent damage.
Connection to other non PoC HDBaseT inputs, such as some projectors and monitors, is allowed.

System Connection
Figure 1 - HDBT-131EC System Configuration Example
Connection Procedure
The following steps are the connections required for any installation:
1. Connect the HDMI source to the HDMI input port of the SY-HDBT-131EC using a good quality
HDMI cable.
2. Connect the cat5e/6/6a cables between the SY-HDBT-131EC and HDBaseT receivers via good
quality RJ45 cat5e/6/6a cable. This cable must connect directly between the SY-HDBT-131EC and
the respective HDBaseT receiver.
3. Connect a display device to the HDMI output port on each of the SY-HDBT-131EC HDBaseT
receivers using an HDMI cable.
4. Connect a display device to the local HDMI output port on the using an HDMI cable.
5. Connect the 24V DC power supply adapter and tighten to secure. For the MUBT-44/88EC an IEC
mains cable is connected directly to the HDBaseT splitter. Once all components have been
connected and the installation is completed, switch on the supply.
Notes: When using IR receivers connected to IR IN, the IR carrier must be present. Do not use IR detectors
that remove the IR carrier signal.

Using the SY-HDBT-131EC
The HDMI input signal is distributed to all the HDBaseT outputs and the local HDMI output.
The two front panel LEDs provide indication of the input and local output HDMI signals:
The HDMI IN LED will light only when a valid HDMI signal is detected at the HDMI IN connector.
The HDMI OUT LED will only light when a HDMI sink is connected to the HDMI OUT connector
and the HDMI signal is being transmitted to the HDMI sink.
Both these LEDs also provide indication of the HDCP status is detailed in the following table:
LED State
Meaning
Off
No HDMI signal is present
Flashing
An HDMI signal is present with no HDCP
On
An HDMI signal is present with HDCP
IR Connectors
The IR ALL IN / IR LOOP IN will relay the received IR signal to all the HDBaseT outputs, whereas the IR IN
connectors associated with each HDBaseT output will only relay the IR signal to its respective receiver. The
IR LOOP IN is normally connected to the IR LOOP OUT of another SY-HDBT-131EC when two or more units,
up to a maximum of five, are connected in a cascade mode while using only a single IR detector at start of
the cascade connection:
HDBT-131EC (1)
HDBT-131EC (2)
HDBT-131EC (3)
IR Remote  IR ALL IN │ IR LOOP OUT 
IR ALL IN │ IR LOOP OUT 
IR ALL IN
The IR OUT connector will output the IR signals received from any of the HDBaseT receivers, so as to allow
control of a source from any of the remote receivers.
EDID Mode Switch
The EDID switch has three positions to cater for different situations:
1. Lo-Res
The HDBT-131EC will combine the EDID tables from all the connected displays and ensure that
the lowest resolution is available for use.
2. Default
A default built-in EDID is presented to the HDMI source device that will allow resolutions up to
4K @ 60Hz.
3. Hi-Res
The HDBT-131EC will combine the EDID tables from all the connected displays and ensure that
the highest resolution is available for use.
This switch should always be set such that all the HDMI sink device are able to display an image.

RJ45 Wiring
Both connectors must be wired identically, to T568B standard.
Note:
You may use cat5e, cat6 UTP (cat6 preferred) in conjunction with the HDBaseT output; however for best
performance use cat6a or cat7 (particularly in electrically noisy environments). The maximum distances &
transmission performance for HDMI and HDBT may be compromised by cable quality, patch panels, poor
termination, wall plates, cable kinks and electrical interferences. Generally ensure the cat cable is solid
copper core of 23AWG (avoid CCA type), in one straight run (avoid/minimise patches) and avoid close
proximity to any noisy electrical sources.
