Introduction
DaisyNET-TX/RX is a pair of HDBaseT switcher / extender / splitter while using
CAT-5E/6 AWG 23 cable as transmission media.
Benefits from using DaisyNET-TX/RX:
1) The length of HDMI cable is fixed and unchangeable after it is produced.
Because the HDMI connector can only be soldered or terminated by professional
worker in factory, the users can not reduce or increase by themselves. However
CAT-5E/6E AWG 23 cables are available everywhere and be processed easily by
the user or installer.
2) By using DaisyNET-TX/RX, the transmission distance for 1080P reaches 100
meters. For general HDMI cables, cables must be customized when the length
over 10 meters.
3) DaisyNET-TX/RX has the ability of buffering and amplifying. Series connection of
DaisyNET-TX/RX achieves long distance transmission of HDBaseT signals.
When two pairs or more DaisyNET-TX/RX are stacked together, they can be
used to replace the centralized switching and distribution.
DaisyNET-TX/RX offers solutions for digital entertainment center, HDTV retail and
show site, HDTV, STB, DVD and Projector factory, noise, space and security concerns,
data center control, information distribution, conference room presentation, school and
corporate training environments.

Operation Instruction:
1. “ShowMe” Button.
DaisyNET-TX has two statuses: HDBT Pass-through and Local Input.
At HDBT Pass-through status DaisyNET-TX is used as a HDBT Extender (All input
led indicators go out at this status).
Press “ShowMe” button to change to Local Input status.
At Local Input status DaisyNET-TX is used as a 3-Input Switcher.
Press “ShowMe” button to select input port.
To change back to HDBT Pass-through status you must press “ShowMe” button for
more than 3 seconds.
※“ShowMe” button also has an operation-cancel function.
For example: several DaisyNET-TXs are connected together, there is always one
DaisyNET-TX working at Local Input status and others working at HDBT
Pass-through status.
If you mistakenly press “ShowMe” button of a DaisyNET-TX working at HDBT
Pass-through status, the very DaisyNET-TX worked at Local Input status before will
change to HDBT Pass-through status.
To cancel this operation mistake, press “ShowMe” button for more than 3 seconds,
and all DaisyNET-TXs will recover their statuses before the press action.
2. RS232 Control.
For the command set please ask your certified dealer.

Deutsche Kurzanleitung
Funktion
Die DaisyNET Geräte erlauben, HDBaseT Signale durch kaskadieren von Geräten
(Daisy Chain) über sehr große Entfernungen zu übertragen. Dabei werden
preiswerte und leicht zu erhaltende Kabel verwendet. Die Anzahl der Geräte ist nicht
begrenzt, es können beliebig viele Geräte zusammengeschaltet werden. Das
geschieht ohne Konfiguration oder andere Anwendereingriffe. Die Geräte werden
verbunden, eingeschaltet und sind betriebsbereit.
Diese Anwendung unterscheidet zwei Gerätearten: Sender und Empfänger. Ein
Sender speist ein AV Signal ein, ein Empfänger gibt das Signal eines Senders
wieder.
Der Sender verfügt über drei verschiedene AV Anschlüsse zum Einspeisen von
Signalen:
HDMI Eingang
DisplayPort Eingang
VGA Eingang mit zusätzlichem Stereo Audio Eingang
Der Anwender kann jetzt auswählen, welchen der Eingänge er an die Empfänger
übertragen möchte. Das geschieht durch eine sogenannte ShowMe Taste, deutsch
Zeig-Mich Taste. Der gewählte Eingang wird durch eine LED am Sender signalisiert.
Sind mehrere Sender hintereinandergeschaltet, ist das Signal aktiv, das von dem
Sender kommt, an dem zuletzt die ShowMe Taste betätigt wurde.
Der Empfänger verfügt über eine HDMI Buchse, an die ein Display oder ein
Projektor angeschlossen wird. An dieser Buchse liegt das Signal an, das am Sender
angewählt wurde. Da es keine Skalierung gibt, liegt das Signal als HDMI Signal mit
der gleichen Auflösung an wie das aktivierte Signal des Senders hat.
Page 21 Vers. 1.0
Auch die Empfänger können beliebig oft kaskadiert werden. Alle Empfänger geben
das gleiche Signal wieder.

Es wird empfohlen, die Geräte im ausgeschalteten Zustand zu verbinden.
Verkabelung des Systems
Figure 16
Figure 17
System mit 1 Sender und 1 Empfänger:
Verbinden Sie die beiden Geräte, in dem Sie ein CAT-5E oder CAT-6 Kabel
(AWG 23) am Sender und Empfänger anstecken. Dabei verbinden Sie den Link
Ausgang des Senders mit dem Link Eingang des Empfängers.
System mit mehreren Sendern und einem Empfänger:
Verbinden Sie alle Sender untereinander, in dem Sie jeweils ein CAT-5E oder CAT-6
Page 23 Vers. 1.0
Kabel (AWG 23) an den Sendern anstecken. Dabei verbinden Sie den Link Ausgang
des ersten Senders mit dem Link Eingang des nächsten Senders. Das machen Sie
so oft, bis alle Sender untereinander verbunden sind. Dann verbinden Sie den Link
Ausgang des letzten Senders mit dem Link Eingang des Empfängers.

so oft, bis alle Sender untereinander verbunden sind. Dann verbinden Sie den Link
Ausgang des letzten Senders mit dem Link Eingang des ersten Empfängers. Nun
verbinden Sie die Empfänger untereinander auf die gleiche Art wie die Sender:
Link Out des ersten Empfängers mit dem Link In des nächsten Empfängers. Und
auch das machen Sie so oft, bis alle Empfänger untereinander verbunden sind.

Einschalten
Schließen Sie nun die Netzteile an die Sender und Empfänger an, und ziehen Sie
die Überwurfmuttern handfest an. Bitte keine Zangen oder ähnliche Werkzeuge
dazu verwenden. Nach einstecken der Steckernetzteile ist die Anlage betriebsbereit.
Zu erkennen ist dies an den LEDs links neben dem DC Anschluss.
Quellen anschließen (Sender)
Bitte verwenden Sie zur Verbindung Ihrer Quellen mit den Sendern nur Markenkabel
(z. B. Gefen Kabel). Schließen Sie das Kabel an der Quelle und am Sender an.
Drücken Sie nun die ShowMe Taste so oft, bis die LED links unten an dem von
Ihnen genutzten Eingang des Senders leuchtet. Nach einer kurzen Verzögerung
(HDCP Handshake, EDID Kommunikation) kommt das Signal, das Sie einspeisen,
an der HDMI Buchse des Empfängers an und wird angezeigt.
Machen Sie dies für alle Quellen, die Sie benutzen wollen.
Externen Taster anschließen (Sender)
Schließen Sie die beiden Pole eines Tasters mit Hilfe eine passenden Kabels an
den mitgelieferten 2-poligen Phoenixstecker an. Dann stecken Sie den
Phoenixstecker in den Anschluss <ShowMe> auf der Front des Senders. Damit ist
der externe Taster dem eingebauten Taster parallel geschaltet. Sie dürfen nur
potenzialfreie Kontakte verwenden.
