Pre Wire
1. Run a Cat5e/6/6a cable from the transmitter location to the receiver
location. Terminate the cable per the HDBaseT Wiring section.
2. (Optional) If using 3rd party IR emitters or connecting blocks at either the
transmitter or receiver, run the wire and terminate per the IR TX (Emitter)
Wiring section.
3. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, run the wire and terminate per
the RS-232 Wiring section.
4. (Optional) If using 3rd party IR receivers at either the transmitter or
receiver, run the wire and terminate per the IR RX (Receiver) Wiring
section.
Transmitter Installation
1. Connect an HDMI source to the HDMI In on the transmitter using an
HDMI cable from a high quality brand such as WyreStorm Express.
2. (Optional) Place an IR emitter onto the source device near the device’s
IR receiver and connect it the IR TX port.
3. (Optional) If using the ARC function to return audio from the remote
display, connect a digital input on an AV Receiver to the S/PDIF Out.
4. Connect the cable created in Pre Wire step 1 to the HDBT Out.
5. (Optional) Connect the 3-pin connector to the RS-232 port on the
transmitter and the opposite end to a port on a control system.
6. If using PoH from the transmitter to power the receiver, connect the
included 12V DC 2A power supply to the DC 12V jack.
7. If using ARC or the audio inputs and outputs, see ARC and Audio In/Out
Settings for switch conguration
Receiver Installation
1. Connect the HDMI Out on the receiver to an input on the display using
an HDMI cable from a high quality brand such as WyreStorm Express.
2. (Optional) Place an IR emitter onto the source device near the device’s
IR receiver and connect it the IR TX port.
3. Connect the cable created in Pre Wire step 1 to the HDBT In.
4. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, connect the 3-pin connector
to the RS-232 port on the receiver and the opposite end to a port on the
device being controlled.
5. If using PoH from the receiver to power the transmitter, connect the
included 12V DC 2A power supply to the DC 12V jack.
6. If using ARC or the audio inputs and outputs, see ARC and Audio In/Out
