Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Transformative Engineering’s HDU-1 HDMI/VGA/USB Solution
for Classrooms, Conference Rooms and Huddle Spaces. This product incorporates many
advanced technologies to accomplish switching and distribution of (1) High Denition
MultiMedia Interface (HDMI), VGA, and USB sources to your display. The output is carried
over a length of Category 5e/6/7 wire, utilizing HDBase-T technology, licensed here. This
unique conversion of HDMI signals provides for the most reliable, stable and predictable
method to transfer all HDMI requirements. More information on this technology may be
found at the HDBase-T website, www.hdbaset.org. We are proud to be an early Adopter
Member of the Alliance.
Proper connection and attention to limitations of this (or any other) product will result
in secure, reliable, and predictable results. The most important variable to success will
depend on wire chosen as the interconnection between our Transmitter and Receiver. All
Category wire is not created equal. It is vital that care is taken at all times to avoid kinks,
crimps, nicks, and other abuse of the wire and jacket. Also, we highly recommend that all
wire be sweep tested before and after installation to insure full bandwidth is not impaired.
A sweep-test generator, such as the Fluke CableIQ Qualication Tester, or its equivalent, is
suggested. Please be sure to specify Category 5e, or better, cable that meets a minimum of
400MHz bandwidth. Typical high-quality Category 6 cable performs from 550-850 MHz, and
Category 7 cable should pass 1GHz or more.
This product will meet our rated specications using CAT 5e/6/7 UTP cable. It will also
perform with STP (shielded twisted pair) cable as well. MOST FAILURES OR INCONSISTENT
PERFORMANCE ARE THE RESULT OF INFERIOR WIRE OR IMPROPER TERMINATIONS. The rst
step in diagnosing problems with this product should center on the connection and choice of
the wire used.
Please follow the instructions and diagrams shown in this Manual. Any questions should be
directed to your Dealer, Distributor, or to our Technical Department. Our Contact information

Controller Functions
TRANSMITTER/CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS (see pg 7)
1 HDMI In – This standard HDMI connection is v1.4a compatible and will pass all
video and audio signals thru to the output. This device is compatible with all signals
up to resolutions of 1920x1080 and 1900x1200. It is not 3D compatible.
2 Indicator Lights – Shows when (a) Power is being applied to the Controller,
(b)’LINKED’ when the HDBase-T Receiver is connected, and (c) ‘HDMI’when the
HDMI signal is selected and should result in a stable picture. HDMI light ashes
when HDMI is connected, but not selected. The same is true of the VGA light.
(d) When the VGA Input has been selected, and (e) When IR signals are being
processed.
3 Force Select – This manual button can select which input you desire routed
to the HDBaseT Receiver Module. The row of indicator lights will show which input
(HDMI or VGA) you have chosen. Unless a manual choice is activated, the Controller
will actively select either the VGA or HDMI inputs, whichever is present. If both are
present, the HDMI input has priority. Pressing the FORCE SELECT button will stop
the auto-select function. To resume Auto Select, hold the FORCE button down for
four seconds.
4 Audio In – Designed to accept line-level (high impedance) stereo signals for
transmission to the HDBase-T Receiver module. Useful for background or program
music or narration, or as a program audio track.
5 VGA Input – Designed to accept a standard VGA computer signal at resolutions
up to 1900x1200.
6 IR Out – Infra-Red pathway designed to accept an IR emitter. The insertion of
this IR signal is done at the HDBase-T Receiver Module (See Page 8, Item 6). NO
DONGLE IS REQUIRED AT IR OUT.
7 USB Host – Connection of your USB-enabled keyboard, mouse, or webcam
device. This synchronous path between the HDBaseT Receiver and the HDBaseT
Transmitter will support video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 and will support video
resolutions up to 1920 x 1080.

Switcher Functions
8 Power In – This receptacle accepts the supplied 24V DC Power adapter. Do not
substitute any other device or possible damage or operational defects may occur.
This may optionally be powered from the HDBase-T Receiver side by connecting
Power Supply to the HDBase-T Receiver (See Specications pg 6).
9 IR In – Infra-Red pathway for sending IR commands to the HDBase-T Receiver
Module. This is sent over the UTP connection and decoded within the HDBase-T
Receiver. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS A POWERED CONNECTION,
DESIGNED FOR A “XANTECH”-TYPE PICKUP. Utilization of this pathway as a
“passive” IR inserter MUST include the mini-jack dongle included in the accessory
kit. IR commands coming from a control system (Crestron, Control4, etc) must be
routed thru the IR dongle which is then connected to this input. FAILURE TO DO SO
WILL RESULT IN NON-OPERATION OF YOUR IR. Connection of a “Xantech” –type
pickup may be directly connected here (NO DONGLE) which will power the pickup
and insert the IR commands.
10 Mini USB (Bottom) – For Firmware updates (provided if necessary) by
Transformative Engineering. DO NOT attempt to connect this port for any other
reason. Loss of all operation may result.
11 Link Out (Rear) – Connect to the Category wire for transmission of all signals
between the Transmitter/Controller and the HDBase-T Receiver Modules. The length
of this wire is limited to 30 Meters (100 feet) to obtain our rated specications for
performance.
HDBASE-T RECEIVER FUNCTIONS (see pg 8)
1 Power In (Alternate) – Alternatively, the Power Supply may be connected to the
“24VDC IN” connection here to provide power to both the Controller and HDBase-T
Receiver Modules. Only one Power Supply should be connected for both units.
2 Indicator Lights – Indication for (a) Power acknowledged at the HDBase-T
Receiver, (b) HDBase-T link established with the Controller, and (3) ‘IR’ when Infra-
Red signals are being processed.

Receivers Functions
3 Link Cable – RJ45 Connection for UTP (CAT5e/6/6e/6a/7) wiring to Controller.
No power supply is required, as the Controller provides power over the UTP wire.
(See Page 10, Item 1 for optional power input).
4 HDMI Out – Standard HDMI v1.4a connection. We recommend as short
an HDMI cable as necessary. HDMI Cables in excess of 4 Meters are not
recommended.
5 USB – For connection of your USB Client device. (See Page 9, Item 7)
6 IR In – Infra-Red pathway for sending IR commands to the Switcher’s IRDA
OUT port. This is sent over the UTP connection and decoded within the Switcher. IT
IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS A POWERED CONNECTION, DESIGNED FOR
A “XANTECH”-TYPE PICKUP. Utilization of this pathway as a “passive” IR inserter
MUST include the mini-jack dongle included in the accessory kit. IR commands
coming from a control system (Crestron, Control4, etc) must be routed thru the IR
dongle which is then connected to this input. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN
NON-OPERATION OF YOUR IR. Connection of a “Xantech” –type pickup may be
directly connected here (NO DONGLE) which will power the pickup and insert the IR
commands.
7 IR Out – Connect a “Xantech”-compatible IR Emitter here to relay the IR
commands injected at the “IR In” port on the Controller (See Page 7, Item 9).
8 Audio Output – Stereo signal path for audio injected at Controller Audio In (See
page 7 Item 4).

Troubleshooting
& Warranty
TROUBLESHOOTING
As mentioned previously, most malfunctions can be addressed by careful examination
of the Category cable terminations and suitability of the UTP cable itself. Once the
“Link” lights are on, this system is operating normally. Lack of function should be
traced to a failure in HDMI interconnection cables or device settings. If all this has been
examined with no resolution of your problem, please contact our Technical Support
Department at 781-769-6410 or via email at: [e-mail].
WARRANTY
Transformative Engineering, Inc. guarantees this product for Two Years from your
original purchase. We guarantee performance and operation to published specications
including all parts and labor. We do not warranty against mis-use or abuse. To obtain
warranty service, please contact our Technical Support Department at 781-769-6410
or via email at: [email protected].
