INTRODUCTION

About

The HTW-2 transmitter wall plate, HTE-TX2 transmitter, and HTE-RX2 HDBaseT 2.0 products are part of Aurora’s HT Series capable extending 4K60 4:4:4 & HDR (18Gbps) 100m (330′) with unshielded cable. The 2­gang low depth Decora™ wall plate is not only stylish but extremely functional with 3 inputs (1 VGA & 2 HDMI). All units have directional USB to allow a user to choose which side the host (PC) vs the device (peripheral) will be located. Built in IP port expansion allows any 3rd party control system to send commands directly to the unit for source switching, RS-232, and IR control. Aurora is the only product to allow a single PoE port power both the TX and RX at the same time with no wall supplies required for a very clean installation. For easier integration into an audio system, the HT Series is the only HDBaseT product to have optional Dante/AES67 up to 8 channels for surround sound. The Aurora HT Series re-invents the capabilities of HDBaseT beyond the typical point to point making it the ultimate HDBaseT integrator solution.

Features

• HDR (high Dynamic Range)
• Two HDMI® Inputs (HTE-TX2)
*Note: Refer to Technical Specifications section. Warning: Do not plug RJ-45 HDBaseT output to non-HDBaseT complaint devices or damage may occur
to either product.

OPERATION

Source Selection

The HT Series can change between the various sources via front buttons, RS-232, LAN, and Auto-Sense. Once a source is selected the display will lock within a few seconds. The time to lock depends on the display but typical time can be from 3-5 seconds. Keep in mind the HTW-2 series does not scale so what comes in is what will go back out for both the VGA and the HDMI. Most modern displays have scalers and the HT Series can handle resolutions up to 4K60 4:4:4.

Auto Sense

The HT Series has Auto-Sense capability. Auto-Sense will automatically switch to the last HDMI or VGA input connected provided a hot-plug is provided from the source device. The HTW-2 factory default is enabled but can be disabled and saved in non-volatile memory via RS-232 command. In addition, the front button selection or RS-232 control will allow the HT Series to switch away until another new input is detected. For example, if a user has a laptop plugged into the VGA port and then connects a Blu-ray automatically switch to the HDMI input. If after that the laptop is disconnected or signal is removed with function keys and reconnected the HTW-2 will switch back to the laptop. If an RS-232 command is received to switch to the opposite input the unit will do so as well. Whenever a source is changed the LED on the button will follow and the RS-232 ports will send a response string to let a remote device know that a change has occurred.

player to the HDMI, the HTW-2 will

EDID Handling

The HDMI port will retrieve the EDID from the destination device (ex. Projector, LCD, Matrix, etc.) via the HDBaseT connection to the receiver unit. The VGA port will use an internal EDID specific to the capabilities of the HTW-2 VGA port with 1080p being the recommended default.

Factory Reset

Holding both buttons for 5 seconds will restore factory defaults. This will be confirmed by both buttons turning cyan. Keep in mind all stored settings into the non-volatile memory will revert to the factory defaults of each function accordingly.

Example 2 DXB-8 Button Wall Control to HTW-2

DXB-8 wall controller connected to the HTW-2 Series. The DXB-8 serial port will connect and draw power from the HTW-2 via the 4 pin RS-232 connection. Any serial command can be programmed into the DXB-8 at any baud rate and sent through the HTW-2 to the HTE-RX receiver. This allows not only the switching of the HTW-2 to be controlled but the remote display device as well. Make certain the baud rates are set the same on the HTW-2 and the DXB-8. More information on the DXB-8 can be found on the Aurora website www.auroramm.com

Control Protocols

RS-232 Commands

! - Command, ? - Query, ~ Response <CR> = 0x0D Hex / 13 Decimal The serial command can be issued by the user via the local serial port of the device. !** is the command
header used to specify the device. If !** is given as !20, then the command is intended for the TX/HTW devices. If the header !** is given as !30, then the command is intended for !30.
These commands are mainly used to control/configure the device. To query the device status/ configuration, refer Serial Query Commands.
If both TX and RX devices are connected, then the user can send serial commands from TX to RX by providing the serial header as !30. The TX will ignore the command and send it to the remote device. The remote RX will process the command and send the response back to the TX. The TX will output this response to the user. Similar is the case when !20 commands are issued to RX.
Note: By default, the configuration of the local serial port is Baud = 115200, Data bits = 8, Parity = None, Stop bits = 1.

Audio Insertion at HTE-RX from Line-in or Dante to HDMI:
There is no provision to locally insert the Audio on the HTE-RX to HDMI but the is a way to achieve the functionality. For inserting the Line in or Dante audio at HTE-RX to HDMI-RX output, user needs to send it to remote HTE-TX/HTW-2 and then select at the TX the remote audio to be inserted to the HDMI. Following commands can be used to achieve this:
• Route the corresponding Line in or Dante audio at HTE RX to remote stream
o !30AUD1,4 (Line-in to remote Audio) o !30AUD2,4 (Dante to remote Audio)
• At HTE TX insert the remote audio to HDMI stream
o !20AUD4,3 (Remote audio to HDMI stream)
Brief Description of Button mode and Button Color Each button has 3 independent modes and these modes can be set for press and release separately. The
default functionality for buttons in TX for release is input switching. Each mode can be independently set as well as cleared. Button_numbers are 1,2 for box version and 1,2 & 3(for wall plate) Press_modes are press and release Button_modes are tcp, serial and default button_color: none, white, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan

Audio Routing Query Command get_audio_route
Note
To Support Audio Insertion to the video at RX side we have to do it by first inserting the audio at rx side to remote audio. It will reach the Tx and at the tx we should insert the remote audio to stream_audio.
For Eg: To insert the line in at RX to the stream video at RX enter the following commands
1) Insert line in to remote audio at Rx - !**AUD1,4 or set_audio_route linein remote
2) Insert remote audio to stream audio at Tx - !**AUD4,3 or set_audio_route remote_audio stream_audio
Brief Description of Button mode and Button Color Each button has 3 independent modes and these modes can be set for press and release separately. The
default functionality for buttons in TX for release is input switching. Each mode can be independently set as well as cleared. Button_numbers are 1,2 for box version and 1,2 & 3(for wall plate) Press_modes are press and release Button_modes are tcp, serial and default button_color: none, white, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan
TCP mode means a TCP msg can be send when we press/release a button serial mode means a serial message can be send when we press/release a button

IR Connections

IR Blaster/Emitter. Plug in an IR bl aster to emit all I R command signals r eceived from the IR receiver to contr ol the
associated devices with built-in IR sensor.
IR Receiver. Plug in an IR rec eiver to receive all IR c ommand signals from the IR remote con trols of the assoc iated
devices.
*Note: If you are not using an approved Aurora branded receiver, make cer tain you do not exceed t he 5v signal level limitation as some devices u se 12v. Also, I R Receiver must be 30K-60KHz inverted 5V signal. Failure to do so will result in damage.

Check under Aspect Ratio settings, PC / Video mode, etc. Note if you plug the VGA directly into display and compare to input of HTW-2 it is not a proper test. The HTW-2 is connected through the HDMI input not VGA of the display. The display will handle the signal different as the display will know not to over scan a VGA signal. HDMI is treated as a video source first and as a PC source
All transmission distances are measured using West Penn cable as per Appendix 3. The transmission distance is
defined as the distance between the video source and the display.
To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in UTP cable, you can use shielded STP
cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.

APPENDIX 5

Cabling

Aurora extender products have been tested utilizing shielded cabling. Although our products will work fine without shielded cable it is highly recommended for environmental reasons as the signals are high frequency and can radiate as well as be susceptible to external frequencies and possibly cause noise or disruption in the image. Unshielded cabling will work fine in a conduit as it will provide the shielding. We have found not all cable is created equal even though they appear similar. This can affect distance and overall performance. Below is a list of cables that have been officially tested with our products by the manufacturer of the cable.
West Penn Wire
CAT 6 Shielded - HDBaseT Certified - Only in Black 4246F – CMR, 254246F – CMP (Plenum)
CAT 6a Shielded HDBaseT Certified - Only in Black 4246AF – CMR, 254246AF – CMP (Plenum)
Both CAT 6 and CAT 6a Shielded Cables utilized a Modular Plug Kit: 90170-BI - Includes: 100 Connectors, 100 Boots, Crimp Tool, External round Crimp Tool, Strip Tool
CAT 6 Unshielded - Colors 4246 – CMR, 254246 - CMP (Plenum) Connector: 32-6EZP
CAT5e Shielded - Blue or Gray 4245F – CMR, 254245F - CMP (Plenum) Connector: 32-EZSTP
