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
• WyreStorm recommends visiting the product page before installing this
product for updates to this Quickstart Guide as well as other information
about the product.
• 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 HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring section.
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. Connect the cable created in Pre Wire step 1 to the HDBT Out.
4. (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.
5. If using PoH from the transmitter to power the receiver, connect the
included 18V DC 1A power supply to the DC 12V jack.
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.

HDMI/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 effect on
HDMI and 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 different 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.

Resolutions Distances
The type of category cable used and the distance between the matrix and
receiver can restrict the available video resolution.
Refer to Video Resolutions in the Specications table for the max distance
based on resolution.
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! IR TX Connection Guidelines
• 3rd party IR receivers may require a different voltage, refer to the
documentation provided with the IR receiver before making any
connections to avoid damaging the device.
Tip:
Ring: IR Signal
+5V DC
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
RS-232 Wiring
RS-232 Connection Guidlines
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.

RS-232 Mode Settings
The RS-232 connector is used to transmit RS-232 over HDBaseT to the
remote location and for rmware updates. Ensure that the RS-232 Mode and
Set switches are in the proper position for the operation being performed.
Receiver RS-232 Mode
Set the mode switch to Normal to transmit RS-232
signals from the TX to the RX for controlling devices
in the remote location.
Set the mode switch to the Update position to install
a rmware update in either the TX or RX.

EDIDs can be congured to resolve issues with video output on displays that
may not accept the maximum resolution available from the source.
• Ensure that a display is connected and powered On to the selected output
before copying EDIDs or the copy will fail. When this occurs, EDID will be
set to 4K@30Hz 2ch.
• Power to the matrix must be cycled (Off/On) after changing dip switches in
order for the setting to take effect.

Power Supply Wiring
The EX-70-H2X can supply power from the transmitter to the receiver using
PoH on the same category cable that transmits audio and video. The included
power must be connected to the transmitter in order to power the receiver.
Should distance of the category cable or other factors prevent PoH from
being used, connect an 18V DC 1A power supply to both devices. Additional
power supplies may be purchased from WyreStorm.

Troubleshooting
No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)
• Verify that power is being supplied to the transmitter and receiving device
and that both devices are powered on.
Note:
When using PoH, to power the receiver, verify that the HDBaseT cable is
properly terminated per the HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring section.
• Verify that the transmitter, receiving device and display support the output
resolution of the source. Refer to Video Resolutions in the Specications
table for the max distance based on resolution.
• Verify that the receiving device and display support the output resolution of
the source.
• Verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated per the HDMI/
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 flashlight to locate the IR receiver behind any tinted panels on the
device being control.
