Transformative Engineering HXU-1 Owner's Manual

HDMI & USB, AUDIO, RS232, IR CAT5 Extender

ITEM NO: HXU-1 HDMI KVM Over IP with USB,RS232, IR, Analog Audio

The HXU-1: HDMI, USB, Analog audio, RS232, and IR extender is designed to extend and distribute all
signals over one CAT5e up to 150 meters, and provides a local HDMI monitor output. It provides superior
video quality up to 1920 x 1200 resolutions using cost effective UTP cable instead of: HDMI, RS232, and
other cables, for an easier, neater, more reliable installation. The transmitter and receiver units can be
connected together for a Point-to-Point connection via CAT5e/6 cable; or a Point-to-Many connection via a
gigabit fast network switch with IGMP snooping and 8K Jumbo Frame support. It is optimized for
applications such as: broadcasting systems, multimedia displays, multi-data sharing, digital signage, home
entertainment integration, industrial control, hospital, education, security, and HDMI over IP matrix
switching.

Features:

! Extend HDMI, RS232, IR and USB signals over one CAT5E/CAT6 cable.

! Supports resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) 32bpp@ 60 Hz
! Transmission range up to 150M over CAT5e, 180M over CAT6.

! Supports 2-way RS232 commands at baud rate 115200 (control software on a PC, or other automated

control system hardware) to control devices attached to the matrix using RS232. Full Duplex data
communication.

Back Panel Rotary Switch Function:

HXU-1Tx and HXU-1Rx must be set same channel in order to do mutual transmission.
HXU-1Tx is set via rotary switch to positions: “ 0 ~ F “ for a total of 16 channels, A = channel 10, B = channel
11, others channel same as 16 hex conversion.
HXU-1Rx channel is set via: console APIs (IP), RS-232, or IR.

Cable & Transmission Distance:

Link Cable use high quality Cat.5e UTP/STP/FTP or Cat.6 UTP cable

Transmission distance will be affected by equipment (Switch HUB, cable quality…etc). When using
CAT.5e the max transmission distance is 150M, using CAT.6 cable increases max to 180M.

You can use a Gigabit Switch hub which supports IGMP snooping and Jumbo Frame 8K for signal
distribution or extend distance.

System Default Settings:

The HXU-1 supports Unicast or Multicast mode, the default is Multicast.
Multicast mode can accommodate: one to one, one to multi, multi to one, or multi to multi
applications.
The analog audio output of transmitters and input of receivers will be off in this mode, analog audio
is only active in Point to Point mode.
Analog audio bi-direction transmission only in Unicast mode, please refer to the web setting
chapter: Casting Mode

System default IP setting is Auto IP, it will assign 169.254.X.X (submask 255.255.0.0) to
transmitters and receivers, you could also set to DHCP or Static IP, please refer to web setting
chapter: IP Setup.

Bandwidth Chart:

The bandwidth will be varied based on different resolution. Higher resolution may not request
bigger bandwidth. Below Chart is the resolution and bandwidth status for reference.

Resolution (@60Hz)

Average Bandwidth (Mbps)

1080p

Under Gigabit Ethernet network, the total flow must not exceed 1000Mbps to avoid any delay on
video streaming. If the video play with 1080p resolution, the HXU-1Tx Transmitter allow maximum
up to 10pcs for simultaneous video streaming.

USB Hot Key Function

In multicast mode the HXU-1 supports multiple USB keyboards and mice in each receiver, just plug
and play, but only one USB FLASH drive / hard disk may be used at a time.
You have to click “Pause/Break” key three times of the keyboard on the receiver to establish USB
FLASH drive /hard disk connection.
