Additional Information
This Quickstart Guide provides the basic steps for the common uses of
this product. Refer to the Installation Guide and other documentation on
the product page for additional information.
Installation
Before Beginning
Verify that all items are included in the packaging per the In The Box list.
Pre Wire
1. Run a Cat5e/6/6a cable from the transmitter location to the receiver
location. Terminate the cable per the HDBaseT Wiring section and
connect it to the HDBT Out on the transmitter.
2. (Optional) If using 3rd party IR emitters or connecting blocks at either
the transmitter or receiver, run the wire and terminate per the IR TX
(Emitter) Wiring section.
3. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, run the wire and terminate
per the RS-232 Wiring section.
4. (Optional) If using 3rd party IR receivers at either the transmitter or
receiver, run the wire and terminate per the IR RX (Receiver) Wiring
section.
Transmitter Installation
1. Connect an HDMI source to the HDMI In on the transmitter using an
HDMI cable from a high quality brand such as WyreStorm Express.
2. (Optional) Place an IR emitter onto the source device near the
device’s IR receiver and connect it the IR TX port.
3. (Optional) If using the ARC function to return audio from the remote
display, connect a digital input on an AV Receiver to the S/PDIF Out.
4. Connect the cable created in Pre Wire step 1 to the HDBT Out.
5. (Optional) Connect the 3-pin connector to the RS-232 port on the
transmitter and the opposite end to a port on a control system.
6. If using PoH from the transmitter to power the receiver, connect the
included 12V DC 2A power supply to the DC 12V jack.
7. If using ARC or the audio inputs and outputs, see ARC and Audio In/
Out Settings for switch conguration.
Receiver Installation
1. Connect the HDMI Out on the receiver to an input on the display
using an HDMI cable from a high quality brand such as WyreStorm
Express.
2. (Optional) Place an IR emitter onto the source device near the
device’s IR receiver and connect it the IR TX port.
3. Connect the cable created in Pre Wire step 1 to the HDBT In.
4. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, connect the 3-pin
connector to the RS-232 port on the receiver and the opposite end
to a port on the device being controlled.
5. If using PoH from the receiver to power the transmitter, connect the
included 12V DC 2A power supply to the DC 12V jack.
6. If using ARC or the audio inputs and outputs, see ARC and Audio In/
Out Settings for switch conguration.

HDBaseT Wiring
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables,
and electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse eect
on HDBaseT transmission limiting performance. Steps should be taken
to minimize these factors (or remove completely) during installation for
best results.
• While similar in nature, the HDBaseT protocol is dierent than Ethernet
and voltages provided for PoH can be higher than those provided by
PoE. For this reason, never connect an HDBaseT link to an Ethernet
router or switch to avoid damaging the connected devices.
Wiring for HDBaseT follows the EIA T568B standard.

Note: When connected to a class B HDBaseT receiver, the supported
resolution is limited to 70m/230ft 1080p.
ARC and Audio In/Out Settings
ARC and the audio inputs and outputs can be congured to send audio
over HDMI or to local devices. Set the switches based on the connected
devices.
Transmitter Audio Output
Local Source: Audio from the source connected to the transmitters
HDMI In is sent to the S/PDIF Out.
RX (ARC): Audio from the receiver is received over HDBaseT and sent to
the S/PDIF Out.
Receiver Audio Control (to TX)
ARC: Audio from the device connected to the receivers HDMI Out is sent
to the transmitter over HDBaseT.
Local S/PDIF In: Audio from the device connected to the receivers
S/PDIF In is sent to the transmitter over HDBaseT.
IR Wiring
IR TX (Emitter) Wiring
Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
Tip: IR Signal
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
IR RX (Receiver) Wiring
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that
outputs +5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
IMPORTANT! 3rd party IR receivers may require a dierent voltage,
refer to the documentation provided with the IR receiver before making
any connections to avoid damaging the device.
Tip:
Ring: IR Signal

Sleeve: Ground (GND)
RS-232 Wiring
RS-232 Connection Guidelines
The following wiring diagram shows the pinouts for the extender set. While
not shown, connect the TX (transmit) to RX (receive) pins at the control
system or PC side of the cable.
Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can
vary from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected
device for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be
made.
Wire colors shown follow EIA-561 standard.

Power Supply Wiring
The EX-70-4K-ARC can supply power via PoH to the receiver or
transmitter. The included power supply must be used on either the
transmitter or receiver in order for PoH to power the opposite device.
EDID Settings
EDIDs can be congured to resolve issues with video output on displays
that may not accept the maximum resolution available from the source.

Specications Troubleshooting
No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)
• Verify that power is connected to the transmitter and receiving device. If
using a display with a built in receiver, verify that the device is powered
on.
Note: When using PoH, to power the transmitter, verify that the
HDBaseT cable is properly terminated per the HDBaseT Wiring
section.
• Verify that the transmitter supports the output resolution of the source.
See Supported Video Resolutions.
• Verify that the receiving device and display support the output
resolution of the source. Congure EDID Settings to a lower resolution.
If transmitting 3D or 4K, verify that the HDMI cables used are 3D or 4K
rated.
• Verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated per the HDBaseT
Wiring section.
• Verify that all source and HDBaseT connections are not loose and are
functioning properly.
No or Intermittent 3rd party Device Control
• Verify that the IR cable(s) is properly terminated.
See IR Wiring
• Verify that the IR emitter is located near the IR receiver on the device.
Troubleshooting Tips:
• WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable
to other devices to verify functionality.
• Use a ashlight to locate the IR receiver behind any tinted panels on the
device being control.
