1. Introduction
TL-SM-HDVDP is a 100m 4K Share-Me™ Presenter with HDBaseT in and HDBaseT out,
and utilizes HDBaseT technology as daisy-chain medium to cascade multiple A/V
sources, displays or any devices with HDBaseT connection together in a chain to set up
an A/V distribution system.
TL-SM-HDVDP supports three video inputs including HDMI, Display Port and VGA plus
3.5mm audio in, with HDBaseT input and HDBaseT output for cascading. A local HDMI
out with audio de-embedder is provided in the rear side to connect local monitor or
zone displays. It has a 2-Port Ethernet Switch built-in so that Ethernet could pass
through over HDBaseT for LAN control, or to feed LAN access to sources or displays. A
RS232 port is used to pass through RS232 commands or control a display device. USB
charger is also provided to charge mobile devices. It offers ShowME button and Contact
Closure to switch sources, and a rotary switch for EDID management.
TL-SM-HDVDP offers a future-ready Ultra HD A/V switching and distribution solution,
and cutting-edge HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compatibility. With user-friendly WEB GUI
and Telnet API to configure advanced functionality including a CEC controller, RS232
controller and Daisy-chain Grouping, it is perfectly suitable for collaboration or
presentation in conference and education applications.

3. Quick Start
TL-SM-HDVDP could be used flexibly as either transmitter or receiver to support many
different installations and applications, because of the local HDMI Out port built in.
Application 1: Chain-type Connection
In Application 1, Device 1 and Device 2 are used as transmitter to connect source, while
Device M and Device Z are dedicated receivers to connect multiple displays.
Application 2: Chain-type Connection with Local Monitor
In Application 2, each TL-SM-HDVDP in the chain has their local HDMI Out connected
with local monitor, so as to show upstream or local source once it’s selected in the chain.
Please note only downstream devices can display upstream sources, while upstream
devices can not have their local monitor show downstream sources.
8
TL-SM-HDVDP User Manual
www.tlnetworx.com
Application 3: Ring-type Connection
In Application 3, the last Device Z has its HDBT OUT connecting to HDBT IN of the first
Device 1. As a result, each source selected could be displayed by any monitor in the
chain, as opposed to the chain-type connection in which downstream sources can not
be displayed to upstream monitors.
Application 4: Grouping Mode
In Application 4, Device 1 and Device 2 work in Group 1, while Device M and Device Z
work in a separate Group Z. Devices in different groups can not select or display sources
from other groups. Grouping mode is simply activated by Telnet API or clicking the
Daisy-chain Grouping option on the first device of different groups in WEB GUI.
For example, set Device 3 in grouping mode to make Device 1 and Device 2 work as
Group 1, then Device 3 and all downstream devices are in the other group; set Device 2
and Device 5 in grouping mode to make Device 2 to Device 4 work in same group. (For

more details please check Page 18.) Both Chain-type and Ring-type connection
support grouping mode.
Before set up, please take the following steps:
1. Connect a PC to each device by Ethernet port, log in their WEB GUI to set static IP
address and alias name for every device. (Please check Page 13 to learn how to log
in WEB GUI.)
2. Connect all devices by HDBaseT ports through Cat cable, make a Chain-type
connection first and feed LAN access to the Ethernet port of any device. Do not
make Ring-type connection directly with LAN access, otherwise there will be LAN
conflicts and LAN control disabled.
3. Log into the WEB GUI of the first device in the chain, input total quantity of devices
cascaded within Daisy-chain Sequence and then click Start Sequence. (For more
details please check Page 17 - Daisy-Chain Sequence).
4. Connect the HDBT OUT of the last device to the HDBT IN of the first device, log into
the WEB GUI of the first device to click Start Sequence again, then Ring-type
connection will be set up correctly.
If any TL-SM-HDVDP is reset, removed, replaced or newly added in the chain, please
follow above instruction to configure them again.
4. Hardware Installation
1. Connect the HDBT OUT port of TL-SM-HDVDP 1 to the HDBT IN port of
TL-SM-HDVDP 2, connect the HDBT OUT port of TL-SM-HDVDP 2 to the HDBT
IN port of TL-SM-HDVDP 3, and follow to daisy-chain multiple TL-SM-HDVDP
through HDBT ports by Cat cable.
2. Use quality HDMI/DP/VGA cables to connect different sources (such as Laptop,
PC, Blu-ray, satellite/cable TV, etc.) to HDMI IN/DP IN/VGA IN port of
TL-SM-HDVDP.

3. Use quality HDMI cables to connect the HDMI display device (such as Projector,
Monitor or TV) to the HDMI OUT of TL-SM-HDVDP.
4. Connect a controller such as IP-based touch panel to an Ethernet port of the
TL-SM-HDVDP, or Contact Closure-based keypad to the ShowME/KEY/LED ports
to control. Circuit diagram of Contact Closure ports including SHOW ME, KEY and
LED without any resistors as shown:
5. Power on all devices. Use the ShowMe button, Contact Closure, WEB GUI or
Telnet API command to operate the TL-SM-HDVDP.
Note: Quality CAT cables are highly recommended, such as Cat6, AWG 23 or better,
S/FTP cable. Please check http://www.hdbaset.org/cables to learn HDBaseT
recommended cables.
