1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The LBC-H/V-T-WP transmitter is a high performance, low cost,
miniature, Link BridgeTM HDBaseT VGA/HDMI T ransmission System
that embeds the source audio into the VGA video signal. It carries one
(1) unidirectional HDMI video or one VGA/YPbPr signal with one (1) uni­directional embedded stereo audio, and one (1) RS-232 data channel.
This unique CAT 5e/6 transmission system lets your digital flat panel
display extend up to 70m (230 ft) at 4K2K and WUXGA (1920x1200 @
60Hz) or 720p/1080i/1080p HDTV video resolution.

LBC-H/V-T -WP is a 2 gang multi-input wall plate transmitter . When either
the VGA or HDMI with active signal is connected, the signal will be sent
to the compatible HDBaseT receiver automatically. The ‘VGA/HDMI’
button on the wall plate is available for manual signal selection if both
VGA and HDMI with active signal inputs are connected at the same time.
The Wall plate is also capable of being controlled via RS-232 commands
sent by a local RS-232 connection or via a remote HDBaseT receiver . In
addition, the LBC-H/V-T -WP supports PoH (Power over HDBaseT) where
it can be powered by a remote Matrix, a compatible receiver or local DC
adapter.

In addition, the LBC-H/V-T-WP transmitter is compatible with our LBH
and LBC Series receivers. This makes both CA T 5e/6 transmission and
HDMI/DVI/VGA/YPbPrI conversion in one single system setup. The units
are easily monitored by power and link LED indicators. Figures 2-1, and
2-2 illustrate the front and rear panels of the LBC-H/V-T-WP unit.

The BCI LBC HDBaseT Extender Series units are used in pairs. One
LBC-H/V-T -WP transmitter unit is located at the near-end (source) and
connected through a single category cable, to one of the LBC or LBH
receivers like the LBC-HDBT-R receiver shown below and located at
the far-end (sink) of the link. Figure 3-1 depicts a typical installation for
the LBC-H/V-T -WP and LBC-HDBT -R.
