IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, read and follow all instructions and
warnings in this manual. Keep this manual for future reference.

1. Do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. Do not expose this
equipment to dripping or splashing, and ensure that no objects lled with

instructions.

5. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or
other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.

6. Do not override the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding plug.
A polarized plug has two blades, one of which is wider than the other. A
grounding plug has two matching blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.

plug end and where the power cord is attached to the apparatus.

8. Only use attachments and accessories specied by the manufacturer.

9. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled on or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, the
apparatus does not operate normally, or it has been dropped.

10. To completely disconnect this equipment from power, disconnect the power
supply cord from the power outlet.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to

alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.

Welcome to Binary. This product is engineered to provide years of exceptional
reliability. We appreciate your business and we stand committed to providing our
customers with the highest degree of quality and service in the industry.

This device, when paired with a compatible Matrix switcher or transmitter, extends
HDMI® over a single Category cable using HDBaseT technology allowing video
and audio transmission to remote displays. In addition, the device is equipped with
bidirectional IR over the same Category cable.

This unit supports all HDMI dened audio and video formats, up to 4K2K@30 Hz.
The Power over Cable (PoC) feature enables the receiver to be powered from a
compatible Matrix switcher such as the B-520-MTRX-230-8x8.

2. FEATURES

• Extends all HDMI formats up to:

Resolution Cat 5e/6 Cat 6a/7

1080i/720p 24-bit color 200' 230'

CAUTION: Do not connect power to the device until all other connections are

made and the unit is installed.

5.1. B-520-RX-230-IR Receiver Installation

1. Run Category cable from the location of the Matrix switcher or transmitter to
the remote location of the receiver.

2. Mount the receiver in the desired location.

3. Connect the Category cable to the receiver HDBaseT RJ45.

4. Connect an IR asher and/or IR receiver if being used. Refer to Section 6.2.

5. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI Out of receiver to the display.

6. If the receiver is paired with a non-PoC transmitter, connect an optional
power supply (B-PS-12VDC-2A). When the receiver is connected to a Matrix
switcher, no power supply is required.

7. Connect the power supply to the AC outlet.

supply (B-PS-12VDC-2A).

6.1. HDBaseT Link (RJ45) Connection

This device is specied to operate with Category cables for communication between
the transmitter and receiver. The transmission path may include a maximum of two
keystones and two patch cables, as long as the total length does not exceed 200' for
Cat 5e/6 and 230' for Cat 6a/7.

6.2. IR Control Connections

Bidirectional IR signals can be transmitted between a Matrix switcher or transmitter
and the receiver through Category cable. The IR signal can be generated either from
the powered receiver or from a control system. The following section describes
these two use cases.

CAUTION: Pinout configurations for IR receivers and control systems vary.

Before connecting to this input, review this section carefully in order to match
the pinouts for the device.

6.2.1. Point-to-Point IR Control - Stereo (3.5mm) IR Receiver

When using a powered IR receiver, the DIP switch for IR RCVR PWR should be set
to ON. In this case a 3.5mm (1/8") stereo jack has to be used to send 9V DC power
to the receiver.

CAUTION: Do not connect a mono cable to this connection as damage may

occur.

6.5. Thread-Locking Power Connector

This receiver is Power over Cable (PoC) capable and therefore can be powered
from either a transmitter or the receiver. The Power over Cable feature enables the
receiver to be powered from either end when paired with a compatible HDBaseT
transmitter or HDBaseT matrix switcher.

CAUTION: Do not connect the power supply to the device until it is completely

installed and all connections have been made.
