Wyrestorm RX-70-POH Quick Start Manual
Before Installation
4K @ 35m/114ft and 70m/230ft @1080p video are the maximum
recommended transmission distances for this model and
denotes recommended transmission conditions including
straight cable runs with no electrical interference, bends, kinks,
patch panels or wall outlets. If any of the above is a factor in your
installation, transmission range may be affected – take care to
avoid where possible.
We strongly recommend using supplied mounting brackets to
secure the receiver to a flat surface behind/near the display
device. Sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of
picture/sound if connections become loose or strained, resulting
in unnecessary service call-backs.
If unsure of positioning, IR sensors can be located on devices by
shining a flashlight onto the fascia of the device - the IR sensor
should be identifiable as a small round sensor behind the panel.
Consult your device manufacturer handbook if difficulties are
experienced.
Setup and Operation
Connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat6 cable of no more
than 35m/114ft for 4K* or 70m/230ft for 1080p between the HDBT
or UTP OUT of the transmission device (matrix or transmitter) to
the HDBT IN or UTP IN Input of the RX-70-POH. If the transmission
device is PoH enabled, the PoH function will carry power along
the length of the cable to power the receiver so no local power is
required at display zones.
*4K transmission device required.
NOTE: Optional 12V power connectivity is available if
required - for example, if installation conditions, or cable
quality is too low to carry power, or if a non-PoH enabled
transmission device is being used.
Connect the HDMI display device to the HDMI OUT of the RX-70POH.
NOTE: a WyreStorm EXP-CON-4K-DD scaler may be
required for combined 4K and 1080p HD distributions.

Quickstart Guide
WyreStorm HDBaseT PoH Display Receiver
with 2-Way IR and RS232
Check POWER, STATUS & LINK lights are illuminated on the
receiver to indicate successful connection, with a lit HDCP
illustrating the presence of encryption within the signal
NOTE: STATUS and HDCP LEDs should blink, POWER and
LINK are static LEDs.
Signal IR/RS232 Control Connection
For two-way IR control of connected source and display, connect
IR TX emitters from IR TX port of the transmission device and
receiver to the IR receiving area of the source on the display. Care
should be taken to firmly attach emitters directly over the infrared
receiving area of devices. Location of the emitter eye may need to
be adjusted later to achieve best IR performance.
For use with a control system, an IR Link cable (sold separately)
should be connected from the transmission device IR RX port to
the controller used. An IR receiver should be connected from the
IR RX port of the RX-70-POH to the display, placing the receiver
eye on or near the display in clear line of sight to the remote
handset used to control.
At both display and source locations, position the IR receiver in
clear line of sight to the remote handset used to control it, ensuring
the receiver is not obstructed.
For an RS232-based control system, an RS232 cable should be
used from transmission device to control system and between the
RX-70-POH and display to enable serial control between devices.

Cat5e/6 Wiring Guide
The quality of termination for every RJ45
is essential. Poor terminations leads to
intermittent performance and longer install
times.
Troubleshooting
Regardless of manufacturer or product, the majority of installation
diculties can typically be attributed to communication problems
between devices or when high bandwidth transmissions are attempted
with insucient cable/connections. Should you nd yourself in such a
situation, we have drawn up the following checklist of general issues
and causes that should help you shoot your way out of trouble without
seeking further assistance.
No or poor quality picture?
Device Connection - Are you connected and powered? Double check
all HDMI, HDBaseT and 12v power connections are rmly inserted into
correct ports and that all devices are powered.
NOTE: If PoH powering issues are experienced at either end,
connect a 12v local power supply to the unit.
Cable length – is your signal struggling to transmit signals or power
the distance of your cable? You may be experiencing interference that
exceeds the maximum capacity of your transmission cable distance.
Make sure you are within specied cable distances for this product and
check cable and connection condition and installation environment for
issues.
Try a shorter cable run, an extender with a longer range or EDID
management - see full manual for EDID DIP switch settings
Signal strength – please note the use of cable joins, stranded patch
panels, wall outlets and stranded patch leads as interconnects between
them, can signicantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core, straight
through connections wherever possible.
Resolution - If you reduce the resolution of the source, do you get a
picture? If so, this suggests a conicting resolution between source and
display or a bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs
and outputs share the same resolution and make sure the signal is being
successfully transmitted the full length of your cable run.
Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ – signies a failure to fully establish a signal
and can often be caused by poorly terminated RJ45 connectors or
excessive cable lengths. Ensure your cable is correctly wired to 568B
standards. Try swapping in a display and receiver from a fully functioning
location – if the problem continues on the same output, turn o all
equipment and swap your signal carrying cables at both ends.
Cable quality and condition – HDMI cable/connectors can be easily
damaged and the quality of material can vary, especially in lower price
brackets. Successful transmission of video, audio and control, can all
be aected by cable and termination quality. Always use good quality
leads and cables, with RJ45 connectors wired to the 568B standard at
both ends. Should transmission problems be experienced, try swapping
cables/leads for those already working to see if this improves your image
to identify cable issue as source of problem.
4K - Are you trying to pass a 4K signal? Ensure connected devices
are 4K enabled, correctly congured and outputting compatible
transmissions.
Combined 4K / HD distributions - a WyreStorm EXP-CON-4K-DD
scaler may be required between receiver and display to scale down 4K
transmissions to 1080p 24fps for HD screens and upscale 1080p to 4K
30Hz for UHD displays
Blu-Ray, 3D - Make sure all your equipment has been congured
and enabled to transmit and accept the signal, or is capable of passing
a signal. Are resolutions between source and display compatible and
cable adequate for the large bandwidth required by Blu-ray and 3D
transmissions?
IR Control
Check IR emitter and receiver eyes are correctly positioned to allow
infrared signals to be transmitted and received through the extenders.
IR emitter eye should be xed rmly over infrared sensors of devices. IR
receiver eye should be attached on or near devices ensuring a clear line
of sight to the remote control used to operate.
Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible
to the naked eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing
the remote handset sensor through a digital camera/camera phone – the
sensor should ash when a button on the handset is held down.
IR signal dropout can be experienced due to environmental infrared
radiation. Ensure IR emitters and receivers are away from direct sunlight,
halogen lighting and plasma screens that may interfere with IR signals.
Safety Recommendations:
