Total Control HDA-IO
Owner’s Manual
Overview
URC’s HDA-IO Strea Receiver/Injector creates or receives HDA audio strea s
over the network This device must be congured by a certied URC integrator to
function as either a Strea Injector or Strea Receiver
As a Strea Injector, this device distributes any connected audio source (digital
or analog) over the network to any available HDA controlled zone
As a Strea Receiver, the HDA-IO connects to your favorite 3rd party audio
device and provides it with access to all HDA audio strea on the network
HDA products are NOT compatible with URC’s legacy Total Control ampliers (DMS)
Features & Benefits:
• Strea Receiver or Strea Injector Capabilities: Congured via URC
software, the HDA-IO can receive or transmit HDA audio streams over the
local network
• HDA Audio Strea s: As a Stream Injector, this device distributes any
connected audio source to any available HDA controlled audio zone
• Source Sharing: Any zone controlled via an HDA amplier or I/O device has
access to the system’s HDA Audio Streams
• Flexible Zone Linking: When connected to a 3rd party audio device as a
Stream Receiver, the HDA-IO can link that 3rd party zone with any other HDA
controlled zone
• Integrated Audio Sensor: Each available input on the HDA-IO has built-in
audio sensing capabilities These sensors can be used to trigger programmed
events or activities
• Zone Input Ducking: The HDA-IO has the ability to “fade in” an audio input
over the currently selected audio input
The perfect solution to briey lower the volume on the current source to make
an audio announcement or doorbell chime
• Power Configuration Options: The HDA-IO can be powered via PoE or the
supplied 12VDC adapter

Network Setup
When using more than one (1) HDA devices, URC’s HDA-SW5 Network Switch is
REQUIRED on the local network
For more information of the HDA-SW5 Network Switch, please refer to the
HDA-SW5 Owner’s Manual
Although 3rd Party AVB switches may be utilized, they are not supported by
URC’s Technical Support team
Connecting the HDA-IO to the Network:
1 Connect an ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the head-end
network switch
If no switch is connected to the network then connect the ethernet cable to
an available LAN port on the local router (Luxul preferred)
2 Connect the ethernet cable from the previous step to any available LAN port
on the HDA-SW5
3 Connect another ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the
HDA-SW5 Network Switch
4 Connect the ethernet cable from the previous step to the ethernet port
found at the rear of the HDA-IO (page 5)
5 Congure the HDA-IO to a DHCP/MAC reservation within the local router
and program the device into the new or existing Total Control system
Acertified URC integrator is REQUIRED to integrate the HDA-IO into a
new or existing Total Control system
