Introduction

Overview

The Technology Room Kit is a turn-key solution for classroom and meeting space AV
connectivity and control. It designed to provide HDMI video switching, system control, video
extension and analog audio amplification in a convenient 3-piece kit. Utilizing the Valens VS2010
processor, power, control, video up to 4K@60Hz and audio are transported over a single
Category 6a cable between the wall plate transmitter and the receiver with a minimum transport
distance of 30m/100ft.

The wall plate control panel connects to the wall plate transmitter with a second Category 6a
cable. The wall plate control panel allows remote switching of the sources and volume control
from a convenient location. You can switch among four HDMI Inputs and you can scale the
HDMI inputs up to 4K@60Hz. All the power needed for the system is provided by the receiver.

Additionally, the receiver features a built-in Web UI for control and analog audio de-embedding
to your choice of a built-in 20W stereo amplifier for driving low impedance speakers, a 70V
amplifier for driving commercial 70V speakers or stereo analog audio outputs. The system also
supports DSP mixing function, which allows you to output mixing audio of the any two or three
among VIDEO audio inputs, TX AUDIO IN and RX AUDIO IN. System includes monitoring software
which allows easy multi-room configuration, system monitoring and control along with easy
firmware updating of all devices from a central networked computer. An integrated Ethernet
switch allows easy configuration with the IP Network. Remote USB 2.0 connectivity adds to the
features that make it a one box solution for any modern classroom or conference space.

Installation and Wiring

Installation

Note: Before installation, please ensure the kit is disconnected from the power source.

Steps to install the receiver on a suitable location:

1. Attach the installation bracket to the enclosure using the screws provided in the package

separately.

2. The bracket is attached to the enclosure as shown.

3. Repeat steps from 1 to 2 for the other side of the unit.

4. Attach the brackets to the surface you want to hold the unit against using the screws

(provided by others).

Hall Technologies December 10, 2021 Page 17 of 38

Wiring

Steps for device wiring:

1. Connect video source

Connect the HDMI sources (such as PC, Blu-ray player, Apple TV, 4K media player, etc) to
the HDMI IN ports of the transmitter respectively.

2. Connect HDBT OUT

Connect HDBT OUT of the transmitter to HDBT IN of the receiver with a Cat 5e/6/6a/7
cable.

3. Connect HDMI IN/OUT

Connect an HDMI source and an HDMI display to the HDMI IN and HDMI OUT ports of the
receiver.

4. Connect AUDIO IN

Connect an audio device or a microphone to the AUDIO IN of the receiver based on the
setting of the Line/MIC/48V selector switch.

5. Connect SPEAKER OUT&AUDIO OUT

Connect the speakers to the SPEAKER OUT of the receiver. If an external audio amplifier is
to be used to with the system, connect it to the analog AUDIO OUT of the receiver.

6. Connect the control panel to the transmitter via a Cat 5e/6/6a/7 cable. This cable cannot

exceed 30m/100ft.

7. Connect for additional control options:

• LAN Control (Telnet/Web UI): Connect the receiver to the same network as the control

PC or control system via its LAN port.

• USB Control: Connect a USB host device to USB port of the transmitter and USB device

to USB2.0 port of the receiver for remote KVM control.

• IR pass-through: Connect an IR emitter to the IR OUT of the receiver.

• RS232 Control: Connect the control PC to RS232 IN of the receiver to control the

Technology Room Kit.

• RS232 Pass-through: Connect a RS232-enabled display such as a projector to the RS232

OUT of the receiver.

8. Connect the power adapter provided to the receiver.

One-way PoH enables the power to be sent from receiver to transmitter and control panel
along Cat 5e/6/6a/7 cable. Only one power adapter is needed for the kit.

9. Power on all attached devices.

2. When in the MIC setting, the AUDIO IN accepts 150mVrms audio level at max. If AUDIO IN

input signal exceeds the 150mVrms level, there may have audio clipping and distortion.

3. To connect wireless microphones, check if your microphone receiver outputs LINE or MIC

level audio signal. Then switch the AUDIO IN setting accordingly.

Auto Switch

This kit supports auto switching among the four HDMI inputs on transmitter and receiver.

1. When multiple sources are inserted, power on all devices, the input will be switched to the

active source with highest priority, the priority is RX HDMI IN > TX HDMI IN 1 > TX HDMI IN 2
> TX HDMI IN 3.

2. When a new source is inserted, the input will be switched to it automatically. (Last-In-First-

with highest priority.

Note:

• The Auto Switching function is enabled by default once all devices are powered on. To switch

to a video source manually, see “Control Panel Operation” section for more information.

• Auto-Switching and Manually Switching can be set through Web UI and API commands (See

“Web UI Control” section or separate document “API Command Set_HT-TRK1”).
