HC404 and HC 403 Systems

The Extron HC 403 EU and HC 403 MK systems are AV presentation solutions. They incorporate a built-in control processor for
display control via HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), RS-232, IR, or Ethernet.

Each system is a dedicated transmitter-receiver pair that is factory-optimized to work together as if it were a single unit.
Together each transmitter-receiver system extends video, audio, and control signals up to 230feet (70m) over a single CATx cable.

Each system offers auto-input switching modes, one of which automatically selects sources based on input signals and also
allows manual source selection (for the receiver input) via a button. Auto-switching modes can be enabled or disabled via Extron
Product Configuration Software. The “last connected” auto-switching mode is enabled by default.

Both systems feature three AV inputs and one output. Each system consists of a two-input switching transmitter (HCT102EU or
the HCT102MK) and a scaling receiver (HCR102) that has one HDMI input and one connection from the transmitter.

• The HCT102EU transmitter has an EU-style faceplate and fits most standard two-gang European wall boxes.

• The HCT102MK transmitter has an MK-style faceplate and fits most standard two-gang MK-type wall boxes.

• The HCR102 receiver is wall, furniture, or rack mountable.

The EU and MK transmitter models are identical except for the EU- or MK-specific wallplates and mounting hardware. Features,
connectors, and operation are the same for both models.

and

Transmitters

Both transmitters are identical except for the faceplate and mounting options.
Each transmitter switches between one analog video and one digital (HDMI) video input. It

does not include input selection buttons or input LED indicators. For either transmitter, if
the selected input is HDMI, the extended video signal can be HDCP-compliant.

HCT102EU

HCT102MK

Receiver

The HCR102 receiver incorporates a high performance, HDCP compliant scaler that
scales video to provide a consistent output resolution to a display. It accepts video with
resolutions from 480i up to 1920x1200, 1080p, and 2K, and performs upscaling and
downscaling with multiple output rates up to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 and
2K. The receiver includes an on-screen display, test patterns, and EDID Minder®.

This setup guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install the HCT102EU or HCT102MK and the HCR102.
The guide provides information needed to configure the most essential settings for the system and the receiver. It also describes
basic operations using front panel controls and the on-screen display (OSD) menu system. Full details are available in the HC400
Series User Guide.

Installation and Configuration

ATTENTION:

• Installation and service must be performed by experienced personnel.

• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par du personnel expérimenté.

Step 1 — Get Ready

1. Familiarize yourself with the features of the transmitter and receiver (see Front and Side Panel Features on page3 and

Rear, Side, and Front Panel Features on the previous page).

2. Download and install the latest version of the following:

• PCS Product Configuration Software — for detecting and configuring the AV settings for the transmitter-receiver pair

• Toolbelt software — for discovering the HCR102 receiver and other control products on the network, for managing

core settings, and for upgrading firmware if the need arises

• Global Configurator

modes include a link to the Toolbelt software.

• IPLink

®

Pro device drivers — for use with GC, to make control of other AV devices possible

All are avail able from www.extron.com (see Locating Software, Firmware, and Driver Files on the Extron Website on page18).

3. Obtain network information for the unit from the network administrator. You will need the following details for each HCR102

receiver and for any other Extron Pro control product that is part of the system:

 DHCP setting (on or off)  Subnet mask  Username
 Device (HCR102) LAN IPaddress  Gateway IP address  Passwords

4. Write down the MAC address of each HCR102 (see figure 4,

5. Obtain model names and setup information for devices the HCR102 will control.

®

(GC) software — for setting up and configuring the control system. GCProfessional and GCPlus

on the previous page) or other IPLinkPro device to be used.

O

Step 2 — Mount the Receiver, Prepare the Installation Site for the Transmitter

Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and mount the transmitter and receiver as required

Mounting the HCR102

The HCR102 receiver ships with furniture mounting brackets attached
for mounting to furniture or a wall. The receiver is one inch high, one
half rack wide, and can be rack mounted. The product page on

www.extron.com includes links to recommended optional rack

shelves or rack mounting kits. Alternatively, you can remove the
pre-installed furniture mounting brackets and attach four rubber
feet at the corners of each unit and place it on a table or desk.

Observe local and UL safety guidelines for mounting devices to
equipment racks. See the HC400 Series User Guide for UL rack
mounting guidelines.

NOTE: The receiver is designed so that its vents face

away from the wall or furniture when mounted in order
to achieve optimal air circulation and cooling.

Figure 5. Mounting the Receiver

Prepare the Installation Site for the Transmitter

ATTENTION:

• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués uniquement par un technicien qualifié.

• Extron recommends installing the HCT102EU or HCT102MK into a grounded electrical junction box.

• Extron recommande d’installer le HCT102EU ou HCT102MK dans un boîtier d’encastrement électrique mis à la terre.

• Follow all national and local building and electrical codes that apply to the installation site.

• Respectez tous les codes électriques et du bâtiment, nationaux et locaux, qui s’appliquent au site de l’installation.

ATTENTION:

• If the HCT102 will be installed into fine furniture, it is best to hire a licensed, bonded craftsperson to cut the access

hole and perform the physical installation so the surface will not be damaged.

• S’il est prévu d’installer le HCT102 dans du beau mobilier, il est préférable de faire appel à un artisan autorisé et

qualifié pour couper le trou d’accès et réaliser l’installation de telle façon que la surface ne soit pas endommagée.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance

When planning where to install the HC 400 Series units, you may need to consider factors affecting accessibility of the units
such as height from the floor, distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to press buttons or connect a cable. For
guidelines, see sections 307 (“Protruding Objects”) and 308 (“Reach Ranges”) of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design
available at http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2010ADAStandards/2010ADAStandards.pdf.

Site preparation

The HCT102EU fits a standard two-gang European wall (junction) box or external wall box.
The HCT102MK fits a standard two-gang MK-type junction box or external wall box.

• The end user or installer must furnish the wall (junction) box. It is not included with the unit.

• Read any installation instructions and safety and regulatory guidelines that come with the wall box before installation.

• Protect the mounting surface to prevent damage.

To prepare the site:

1. For installation into a wall or furniture: Measure, mark, and carefully cut a hole in the mounting surface.

For all types of installations: Run cables to the junction box.

2. Secure the cables with a clamp for strain relief and so they do not slip back down into the wall or furniture.

3. Secure the box to the raceway, stud, wall, or furniture.

4. For wall mount installations, attach the mounting bracket (metal) to the junction box or external wall box.

For raceway installations, attach the metal mounting bracket to the junction box or external wall box and raceway.

a. Hold the mounting plate and feed the cables through the mounting plate.

Wall Box

Metal Bracket

Figure 6. Mounting the Bracket to an EU Wall Box

b. Place the mounting plate against the box, aligning the holes in the plate with the corresponding threaded holes on the

edges of the box.

c. Insert the provided screws into those holes, hold the mounting plate to ensure it is aligned straight (visually level), and

tighten the screws to secure the plate to the mounting surface.
