Step3. Connect a VGA source device (e.g. Laptop) to VGA input port with VGA cable

and VGA audio input port with audio cable.

Step4. Select MIC level and connect right microphone to MIC input port. MIC audio will

be transmitted to AUDIO OUTPUT port and mixed with source audio.

Step5. Connect a HDMI display device to HDMI output port with HDMI cable.
Step6. Connect HDBaseT Receiver to HDBT output port with twisted pair.
Step7. Connect speaker, headphone or AV amplifier to AUDIO OUTPUT port.
Step8. Connect control device (e.g. PC) to the TCP/IP port, MP-SC-5TDS can be

controlled via web-based GUI.

Step9. Connect control device (e.g. PC) to the RS232 port of MP-SC-5TDS or the

HDBaseT Receiver (bi-directional RS232 control, either end is available).

Step10. Connect IR receiver to the IR EYE port, MP-SC-5TDS can be control via IR

remote. For more details, please refer to 4.2.IR Control.

Step11. Both the MP-SC-5TDS and the HDBaseT Receiver have IR IN and OUT.

When one model is connected with IR receiver, the other model should connect
with an IR transmitter.

For example: When “IR IN” of MP-SC-5TDS connects with an IR receiver, the IR
transmitter must connect to IR OUT of HDBaseT Receiver.

The IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between the MP-SC-5TDS
and the HDBaseT Receiver.

Step12. Connect DC24V power adaptor to the power port (HDBaseT Receiver can be

powered by the MP-SC-5TDS with PoH function).

Note: If the power adapter is connecting with HDBaseT Receiver, the MP-SC-5TDS

can’t be powered from HDBaseT Receiver.

3.4 Connection of Microphone

MP-SC-5TDS provides with one 3-level microphone input port, to accommodate different
microphone input modes, including 48V phantom power mode, MIC mode & LINE mode.

 48V phantom power Mode
48V phantom power input has a good frequency characteristic, high input impedance
and high sensitivity.

When switching to “48V”, the MIC input will provide a 48V phantom power. This is only
used for condenser microphone.

Connect the microphone in this way: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative
and “ ” to ground.

 MIC Mode
MIC input has a low frequency characteristics, and wide frequency response.

When switch to “MIC”, the microphone input is used for connecting with dynamic

microphone. There are two different connection methods:

1) Unbalanced connection:

“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.

2) Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ”
connects to ground.

 LINE Mode
LINE input has a low frequency characteristics, and wide frequency response.

When switch to “LINE”, the microphone input is used for connecting with line audio or

wireless microphone output. There are two different connection methods:

1) Unbalanced connection:

“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.

2) Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ”

connects to ground.

3.5 Application

MP-SC-5TDS has a good application in various occasions, such as computer realm,
monitoring, conference room, big screen displaying, television education, command &
control center and smart home etc.

4. System Operations

4.1 Front Panel Buttons

Front panel buttons can be used for switching operations and volume adjusting.

4.1.1 Manual-Switching

Press 1-HDMI/MHL, 2-HDMI, 3-HDMI, 4-DP, 5-VGA on front panel to select the
corresponding input source.

4.1.2 Auto-Switching

Press AUTO to enter in auto-switching mode.
The auto-switching mode abides by the following principles:
 New input

Once detecting a new input signal, the switcher would switch to this new signal
automatically.

 Rebooting device

MP-SC-5TDS have the ability to save the last configuration before losing power. If
the last switching mode is auto-switching, once rebooted, the switcher will
automatically enter auto-switching mode, then detect all inputs and memorize their
connection status for future rebooting using. If the last displayed signal is still
available, the unit will output the signal. If not, the unit will detect all the input signals
wit priority from 1-HDMI/MHL to 5-VGA. When detected the first signal, it will transfer
to output.

 Signal removing

Once removing the current display signal, MP-SC-5TDS will detect all input signals
with priority from 1-HDMI/MHL to 5-VGA. It will transfer the signal firstly detected to
be available to output devices.

Note:

 When the DP signal is switched as input, the DP source device may not read the

EDID data from display device, at this point re-plug the DP source device to solve
this phenomenon.

 Auto-switching function works only when inputting new signal, removing a signal or

power rebooting. With any VGA port set to C-video or YPbPr, the system will be not
able to enter in Auto-switching mode.

4.1.3 Volume Adjusting

Press Volume Knob to choose MIC/Source audio needed to be adjusted, the
corresponding LED will turn green and keep on.

 Adjusting the Volume Knob in clockwise direction to increase sound volume.
 Adjusting the Volume Knob in anti-clockwise direction to decrease sound volume.
