ZIG-POE-AHTX USER MANUAL
Introduction
The ZIG-POE-AHTX is a 100-meter (328 feet) HDBaseT transmitter. The AHTX
has 3 inputs with auto-switching –HDMI, VGA/Component and Composite. With
switchable POE it can be set up to power upstream and downstream HDBaseT
transmitters and receivers. The ZIG-POE-AHTX can be used stand-alone as an
HDBaseT transmitter, but really shines when paired with the ZIG-POE-RXAV
receiver/scaler & audio amplifier. A perfect “no-control” control system using “on-
connection” technology to fire up projectors, drop screens and control lighting in
small rooms –BYOD and in seconds collaborate with your colleagues with full
audio and video in stunning 4K UHD. A must for conference rooms and huddle
spaces.

ZIG-POE-AHTX USER MANUAL
Panel Description
Front Side
1. Input select –turns blue when source is selected. Source selection can
happen 5 ways:
a. Last source connected automatically is active and sent to display.
b. By pushing this button the source will toggle to the button pushed –
1 is HDMI, 2 is VGA and 3 is CVBS.
c. Via the WebOS (will be covered later)
d. Via 3rd party control –IR, RS-232 or LAN
e. Via supplied remote control (IR)
2. IR Input Sensor –Use the supplied remote
[n4]
or 3rd party IR remote to
control AHTX directly. Supplied remote also can be use to send
commands to the ZIG-POE-RXAV for actions such as changing inputs,
triggering relays, volume control and muting.
3. Power Light
Note: Auto-Switching function
[n5]
–if you remove an active source –and
another source is connected then it will switch to the new source
immediately. Additionally, as soon as you connect either source, if none
are connected, that port will become active immediately.

Back Side
1. HDMI Input –Connect HDMI cable here from your source (BlueRay,
Computer, etc.) up to 4K UHD.
2. VGA Input –Connect VGA cable here from PC/MAC or use a breakout
cable to connect Component, RGBHV, or Y/C. DVD players, STB, etc.
3. CVBS Input –connect legacy devices –VCR, document cameras, etc.
4. Audio Input –3.5MM stereo audio input jack. The audio going into this
jack follows the VGA/CVBS depending what is the active source.
5. HDBaseT output/LAN Port (fallback) connection –Connect RJ45 up to
100 meters (328 feet) CAT5e, 6, 6a. This is the connection to an
HDBaseT receiver such as the ZIG-POE-RXAV, ZIG-PS-61 or ZIG-
POE-RX70 wall plate RX. You can also use this connection when
accessing via WebOS as a fallback method.
6. POE Switch –3-position switch.
a. Left –POE-RX –receives IEEE POE from downstream
HDBaseT receivers like the ZIG-POE-RXAV or PS-61 –no local
power is required.
b. Center –Off –no POE is generated. Requires local power
source.
c. Right –POE-TX –sends IEEE POE to upstream HDBaseT
receivers like the ZIG-POE-RX70 and ZIG-POE-70R. Local
power source is required.
7. 5-Pin connecter –for IR connecting block –used for local control and
relayed to HDBaseT RX device.

ZIG-POE-AHTX USER MANUAL
Typical IR Application Above
8. IR Out port –(Tip P+, Ring P-) 3.5mm –this can be used to send IR to
local sources –the origin of the signals would be from the connected
HDBaseT RX device (like ZIG-POE-RXAV IR routing)
9. IR In port –3-13 V 3.5mm
[n6]
(Tip Signal, Sleeve Ground)–connect IR
sensor if you don’t have line of site to the built-in IR sensor. Place
black tape over built-in sensor when this port is used to eliminate
interference.
10. LAN (RJ45) port –Full WebOS control for channel switching. Port can
also be used to access and control any HDBaseT device on the
network. Telnet and direct HTTP requests
[n7]
are supported.
11.RS232 (9-pin) port –Bi-directional for local control and remote control
(commands relayed via HDBaseT port. Local commands executed
locally.
