Recommended Products
To take full advantage of the features of this receiver, WyreStorm
recommends the following products be used within the system.
• HDBaseT Matrix Switchers with HDBT In
The TX-70-POH was designed to be work with the HDBT In found on
some WyreStorm matrixes to allow remote devices to be used as a
source.
• MX-0808/1616-PP-POH-CUSTOM with TX-POH-100
• SW-1001-HDBT
• Cable for Connecting to IR Connecting Blocks/Control Systems
When connecting the IR RX to an IR connecting block or control
system, use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK cable to remove the sleeve
+5V DC supplied by the IR Ext/IR RX ports.
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 matrix/
receiver location. See Supported Video Resolutions for resolution
distance restrictions. Terminate the cable per the HDMI/HDBaseT
Wiring section.
2. (Optional) If using 3rd party IR emitters or connecting blocks, run
the wire and terminate per the IR TX (Emitter) Wiring section.
3. (Optional) If using 3rd party IR receivers, run the wire and terminate
per the IR RX (Receiver) Wiring section.
4. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, run the wire and terminate
per the RS-232 Wiring section.
Transmitter Installation
1. Install the matrix/receiver following the documentation provided
with the product.
2. Connect an HDMI source to the HDMI In on the transmitter using
an HDMI cable from a high quality brand such as WyreStorm
Express.
3. Using the cable created in Pre Wire step 1, connect the 8-pin RJ-45
female plug to the HDBT In jack.
4. (Optional) Using the included IR emitter or the cable created in
Pre Wire step 2, place an IR emitter onto a source device near the
device’s IR sensor. Connect the 3.5mm (1/8in) Mono Plug to an IR
TX port.
5. (Optional) Using an included IR receiver, connect the 3.5mm (1/8in)
Stereo Plug to an IR Ext port. If using a control system, use the
WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK or the cable created in Pre Wire step 3.

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 or 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.

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.
When connecting to an IR control system use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-
LINK cable to remove the sleeve +5V DC.
Tip:

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 TX-70-POH can receive power via PoH from a compatible HDBaseT
matrix. Should the distance or other factors prevent PoH from being
used, connect a 12V DC 1A power supply (sold separately) to the
receiver.

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 transmitter, verify that the HDBaseT cable
is properly terminated per the HDMI/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.
• 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 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 IR and RS-232 cable(s) are properly terminated per the
appropriate wiring section:
• IR: IR Wiring
• RS-232: RS-232 Wiring
• Verify that the IR emitter is located over or near the IR sensor on the
device. Move the emitter closer or further from the sensor as the IR
signal can be too strong in some cases.
• Verify that the IR receiver is in line of sight of the handheld remote.
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 controlled. It will likely appear as a small round disc.
