Wyrestorm RX-70-PP User manual

Connect an HDMI source (such as Blu-Ray, games console, satellite/
cable, media server etc.) to an HDBaseT transmission device (such as
a WyreStorm HDBaseT transmitter, AMP-001-010 Digital Amplifier or
MX-PP-POH matrix solution).
Connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat5e/6 cable of no more
than 70m/230ft in length between the UTP/HDBaseT output of the
transmission device to the UTP Input of the RX-70-PP.
70m/230ft is the maximum recommended transmission distance
for this classification of HDBaseT equipment and denotes perfect
transmission conditions - including straight cable runs with no
electrical interference, bends, kinks, patch panels or wall outlets.
If any of the above is a factor in your installation, transmission
range may be affected – take care to avoid where possible.
Connect the HDMI sink (LED/LCD display or digital projector) to the
HDMI Output of the RX-70-PP.
We strongly recommend using supplied mounting brackets to
secure the receiver to a flat surface behind/near the sink device.
Sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of picture/
sound if connections become loose or strained, resulting in
unnecessary service call-backs.
NOTE: If daisy-chaining receivers, repeat process for all RX-70-
PP units connected to HDBaseT transmission devices.
Connect the 12v power supply included to the RX-70-PP and power on
source, HDBaseT transmission and display devices.
Check POWER, STATUS & LINK lights are illuminated on the RX-70-PP
to indicate a successful connection, with a lit HDCP light illustrating the
presence of encryption within the signal.
Note: We do not recommend passing remote power from the
transmission device to the RX-70-PP - local power is required at the
display point.
Signal IR/RS232 Control Connection
For two-way IR control of connected sources and displays from either
location, first, connect IR TX transmitters to the IR TX ports of the
HDBaseT transmitter device and RX-70-PP.
Firmly attach the IR TX emitter eye directly over the infrared receiving
sensors of the device to be controlled. Location of the emitter eye
on the device may need to be adjusted later to achieve best IR
performance.
If unsure of positioning, IR sensors can be located on devices by
shining a flashlight onto the facia of the device - the IR sensor
should be identifiable as a small round sensor behind the panel.
Consult your device manufacturer handbook if difficulties are
experienced.

Single cable HD Display Receiver with bidirectional IR,
routed serial control
Part Number RX-70-PP
Extending HDMI using Cat5e/6 to 70m/230ft
WyreStorm Quickstart Guide
Insert IR receivers into IR RX ports of the RX-70-PP and HDBaseT
transmission device
For serial control an IR Link cable should be used to connect from the
IR RX port of the HDBaseT transmission device and the control system.
For an RS232-based control system, insert RS232 cables into RS232
ports of transmission devices to enable RS232 serial control.
NOTE: for serial control of receivers, a compatible matrix model
featuring routed RS232 should be used.
At the display end, position the IR RX eye on or near the display device,
ensuring a clear line of sight to the remote handset used to control it.

NOTE: Although WyreStorm
products are tested with Cat5e, we
recommend Cat6 due to increased
bandwidth and improved capacity
for handling large transmissions
along a single cable.

Troubleshooting
Regardless of manufacturer or product, the majority of installation
diculties can typically be attributed to communication problems
between devices or when high bandwidth transmissions are attempted
with insucient cable/connections. Should you nd yourself in such a
situation, we have drawn up the following checklist of general issues
and causes that should help you shoot your way out of trouble without
seeking further assistance.
No or poor quality picture?
Device Connection - Are you connected and powered? Double check
all HDMI, UTP and 12v power connections are rmly inserted into correct
ports and that all devices are powered.
Cable length – is your signal struggling to transmit signals or power
the distance of your cable? If you are approaching the maximum capacity
of your transmission cable distance, try changing to long cable mode on
the DIP switch.
Signal strength – the use of cable joins, stranded patch panels, wall
outlets and stranded patch leads as interconnects between them, can
signicantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core straight, straight
through connections wherever possible.
Resolution - If you reduce the resolution of the source, do you get a
picture? If so, this suggests a conicting resolution between source and
display or a bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs
and outputs share the same resolution and make sure the signal is being
successfully transmitted the full length of your cable run.
Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ – signies a failure to fully establish a signal
and can often be caused by poorly terminated RJ45 connectors or
excessive cable lengths. Ensure your cable is correctly wired to 568B
standards. Try swapping in a display and receiver from a fully functioning
location – if the problem continues on the same output, turn o all
equipment and swap your signal carrying cables at both ends.
Cable quality and condition – HDMI cable/connectors can be easily
damaged and the quality of material can vary, especially in lower price
brackets. Successful transmission of video, audio and control, can all
be aected by cable and termination quality. Always use good quality
leads and cables, with RJ45 connectors wired to the 568B standard at
both ends. Should transmission problems be experienced, try swapping
cables/leads for those already working to see if this improves your image
to identify cable issue as source of probem.
Blu-Ray, 3D - Make sure all your equipment has been congured
and enabled to transmit and accept the signal, or is capable of passing
a signal. Are resolutions between source and display compatible and
cable adequate for the large bandwidth required by Blu-ray and 3D
transmissions?
4K - Are you trying to pass a 4K signal? This product is not designed
to pass 4K resolutions.
IR Control
Check IR transmitter and receiver eyes are correctly positioned
to allow infrared signals to be transmitted and received through the
extenders. IR TX transmitter eye should be xed rmly over infrared
sensors of devices. IR RX receiver eye should be attached on or near
devices ensuring a clear line of sight to the remote control used to
operate.
Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible
to the naked eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing
the remote handset sensor through a digital camera/camera phone – the
sensor should ash when a button on the handset is held down.
IR signal dropout can be experienced due to exterior emissions of
infrared radiation. Ensure IR transmitters and receivers are away from
direct sunlight, halogen lighting and plasma screens that may interfere
with IR signals.
Safety Recommendations:
Do not expose this apparatus to any form of moisture, including the
placement of anything containing liquids on the unit.
To prevent risk of electric shock or re hazard, ensure apparatus is
installed in an unobstructed, well ventilated area away from any external
heat sources - including other electrical devices which may produce heat.
Only use attachments / accessories specied by the manufacturer and
refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.
Failure to adhere to these recommendations may invalidate your
warranty.

Cat5e Wiring Guide
The quality of termination for every RJ45
is essential. Poor terminations leads to
intermittent performance and longer install
times.
