1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The product is an under table mounted switcher designed to be the primary PC
interface for classrooms, boardrooms, and conference centers. It features VGA + Audio
to HDMI conversion with VGA scaling up to 1920x1200 and an HDMI input.
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter utilizes HDBaseT technology to extend the digital output
up to 70 meters away using solid core shielded Category 5e or greater cable. This
transmitter device is compatible with several HDBaseT receivers, but is designed to
work primarily with the HDBaseT Receiver. The unit features multiple EDID modes to
eliminate user confusion, and incompatible video formats. An HDMI output is available
for use to connect to a local display.
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter can be powered from the rear panel or by Power over
HDBaseT (PoH), including midspan injectors that support Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Alternative A. The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter may also power compatible HDBaseT
receivers. Built-in surge protection and diagnostic LEDs ensure hassle-free and robust
installations. The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter also features a customizable power
management system, which will put the unit into a low power state after no video for 30
minutes or being inactive for 3 hours by default.
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter will detect which input has an active video input, and
switch to that input – if both inputs are active, the “last in” will be selected. RS232
control of the HDBaseT Lite Transmitter can be accomplished by connecting to the
RS232 port on a compatible receiver, such as a HDBaseT Receiver, or through a direct
connection on the RS232 input of the device.
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter can be programmed to control the connected display.
This allows display power and input to be automatically controlled based on video
activity, eliminating the need for a third party control system in many installations.

HDBaseT Cabling Requirements
For all HDBaseT Cabling, the EIA/TIA-568B crimp pattern must be used on
Category 6 or greater cable. In areas with large amounts of electromagnetic (EM) or
radio frequency (RF) interference, a shielded variety of Category 5e or greater cable
is recommended with shielded connectors on both ends of the selected cable.
3.2 Device Power
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter supports two types of power input: PoH (Power over
HDBaseT) and rear panel input.
When using PoH, a compatible HDBaseT receiver can power the HDBaseT Lite
Transmitter by inserting power onto the twisted pair cable. When using a compatible
HDBaseT receiver, there is no need to use the rear panel power input.
If using a different receiver that does not supply power or the receiver requires remote
power, you must connect power to the rear power input. Using this method, the
included 12V DC 2A power supply must be used.
3.3 RS232 Connections
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter can be controlled via RS232 by connecting to a
computer’s serial port or third party control system via the connected HDBaseT
receiver. The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter may also be directly controlled via the RS232
connection on the rear panel. Additionally, a third party device connected to the local
RS232 port may communicate directly to the display via RS232 through the HDBaseT
receiver.

To u se t he RS 2 32 e xte n sio n capa b ilit ies of t h e HDBaseT Lite Transmitter, connect the
TX, ground, and RX control signal wires to the removable 3-pole terminal block.
Consult the manual of the control device(s) to determine which pins the TX and RX
signals are carried on. Be sure to always connect TX to RX and RX to TX.
With the built-in Display control functionality, the HDBaseT Lite Transmitter can
automatically turn on and turn off the display when a source is connected or removed
from the device. Please see 4.8 Display Control Functionality.
The default setting for the RS232 connections are:
l 9600 baud.
l 8 Data Bits
l 1 Stop Bit
l Parity=none

4. General Operation
4.1 Automatic Switching
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter will switch automatically to the “last in” connected input.
For example, if a VGA signal is currently displayed, and then connect an HDMI source,
the unit will switch to the HDMI input. When the HDMI source is removed, the unit will
switch back to the VGA input.
4.2 RS232 Switching
By connecting the RS232 port of the HDBaseT receiver to a third party control system,
serial commands can perform switching functions, as well as provide greater
information about the units status. RS232 control can be used simultaneously with Auto
operation, but not when using the Display Control functionality.
4.3 LED indicators

4.4 Firmware Port
This port is used for updating firmware. Please contact our after-sales department for
more details.
4.5 EDID Management
An essential part of operations is the EDID table, which is transmitted to the source
from the HDBaseT Lite Transmitter input.
HDMI EDID
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter features a pass through EDID mode for the HDMI input.
The preferred native timing of the display will be transmitted to the source. If the
resolution of the TV connected to the output is 1080p, then the switcher will request the
source to output 1080p. The benefit of this method is that the video output by the source
will be formatted perfectly for the display.
In addition to the default EDID pass-through mode, there are many built-in EDID settings
to define the source video output resolution. The built-in EDID tables range from XGA
(1024×768) up to UHD/30 (3840×2160 at 30 Hz). Changing the EDID is performed via
RS232, and the commands can be found on 5.1.9 EDID Configuration.
Video EDID and Scaling
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter features a single EDID setting for the VGA input of
1366×768. An analog video scaler in the device will scale the video content to many
common video resolutions up to WUXGA (1920×1200). Since the content will always be
scaled, there are options to change the scaling to either fit the original content to the
scaled video output or fill the display with the video content.
Changing the scaling options is performed via RS232, and the commands can be found
on 5.1.10 VGA Scaling Configuration.

HDBaseT Lite Transmitter/PoH

4.6 HDCP Management
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter offers advanced HDCP management to allow greater
compatibility with other devices. The output will always be encrypted or unencrypted,
following the status of the source content. If the content is encrypted, the output of the
HDBaseT receiver will be encrypted; if the content is unencrypted, the output of the
HDBaseT receiver will be unencrypted.
HDMI HDCP
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter ships with the HDMI input set to “HDCP compliant”. This
will work for most applications; however, the HDBaseT Lite Transmitter allows you to set
the input to “Not HDCP compliant”. This is important for systems using not-compliant
sinks (such as a video conferencing or recording system). To set the unit to “Not HDCP
compliant”, simply connect via RS232 and send the RS232 command as described on
5.1.5 HDCP Compliance.
VGA HDCP
The VGA input will convert analog video to digital and will not add encryption to the
content.
4.7 Low Power Mode
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter has a low-power or standby mode that it will automatically
return to, based upon input signal and switching activity.
No Signal
If the HDBaseT Lite Transmitter detects no video on either the HDMI or the VGA input
for a set amount of time, the HDBaseT Lite Transmitter will go into low-power mode. The
default time is 30 minutes, which can be adjusted by sending an RS232 command. The
timeout clock is accurate to +/-4%.
No Activity
If the unit does not switch inputs or communicate via RS232 for a set amount of time, the
HDBaseT Lite Transmitter will go into low-power mode. The default time is 3 hours, which
can be adjusted by sending an RS232 command. The timeout clock is accurate to +/-4%.

HDBaseT Lite Transmitter/PoH
10
Changing Low Power Mode Settings
The No Signal and No Activity timeouts can be changed by sending the unit different
timeout commands via RS232.
If sending RS232 commands, the Turn Display Control OFF command (DFGO)
command needs to be sent first. To disable the timeout, the next two commands to send
to the unit would be Disable the “No Signal” Timeout (DNS000) and Disable the “No
Activity” Timeout (DNA000). These commands are found on 5.1.11 Display Control
Settings.
4.8 Display Control Functionality
The HDBaseT Lite Transmitter may be used to control power and input status of the LCD
or projector connected to an HDBaseT receiver. When the HDBaseT Lite Transmitter is
woken up from low-power mode, it will send the preprogrammed “Power On” commands,
followed by the “Input Select” command. When the HDBaseT Lite Transmitter times out
due to lack of video or activity, it will send the preprogrammed “Power Off” command.
This will effectively synchronize the power states of the display and the HDBaseT Lite
Transmitter, eliminating the need for a third party control system in many installations.
The Display Control functionality may be set up through RS232 commands direct to the
HDBaseT Lite Transmitter or via HDBaseT through a compatible receiver. The HDBaseT
Lite Transmitter can store commands up to 25 characters (25 hex bytes) long.
