3.3 Nga Waahi Whakataunga:
- Prepare CAT Cable: Use a high-quality CAT-5e, CAT-6a, or CAT-7 UTP/STP cable. Ensure the cable is properly terminated following the IEEE-568B standard. The quality of the CAT cable directly impacts transmission distance and stability.
- Connect HDMI Source to Transmitter (TX): Connect an HDMI cable from your video source (e.g., Blu-ray player, media streamer, PC) to the HDMI-IN port on the AC-EX70-UHD-T Transmitter unit.
- Connect HDBaseT Link: Connect one end of the prepared CAT cable to the HDBASET OUT port on the Transmitter and the other end to the HDBaseT IN port on the AC-EX70-UHD-R2 Receiver unit.
- Connect HDMI Display to Receiver (RX): Honoa he taura HDMI mai i te HDMI PUTA port on the Receiver unit to your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor).
- Tūhono Tuku Hiko: Connect the included 48V power supply to either the Transmitter or the Receiver unit. Due to Bi-Directional Power (PoH) capability, only one power supply connection is required for the entire system to function.
- (Whiringa) Mana IR:
- To control the source from the display location: Connect the IR Rx unit to the IR IN port on the Receiver. Connect the IR Tx unit to the IR PUTA port on the Transmitter and place its emitter eye over the IR sensor of your source device.
- To control the display from the source location: Connect the IR Rx unit to the IR IN port on the Transmitter. Connect the IR Tx unit to the IR PUTA port on the Receiver and place its emitter eye over the IR sensor of your display device.
- (Optional) RS-232 Control: Connect the appropriate 3.5mm to DB9 RS-232 cable to the RS-232 port on either the Transmitter or Receiver, and then to your control system or PC for serial communication.
- Secure Units: Use the provided mounting ears to secure the Transmitter and Receiver units in their desired locations, if necessary.
4. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
Once all connections are made and power is supplied, the AC-EX70-UHD-KIT will begin operation automatically.
4.1 Tohu LED
Both the Transmitter and Receiver units feature LED indicators to provide status information:
- 48V LED: Illuminates when the unit is receiving 48V power.
- LED Tūnga: Indicates the operational status of the unit. A solid light typically means normal operation.
- Hono Hono: Illuminates when a stable HDBaseT link is established between the Transmitter and Receiver.
4.2 Operation Mode Switch
Whakaahua: Runga view of the Transmitter and Receiver units, highlighting the 'Operation Mode' switch with 'Program' and 'Normal' settings.
Each unit has an 'Operation Mode' switch with two settings:
- Pūnoa: This is the standard operating mode for everyday use. Ensure the switch is set to 'Normal' for regular video transmission.
- Papatono: This mode is used for firmware updates or specific diagnostic purposes. Do not operate the unit in 'Program' mode during normal video transmission.
4.3 IR and RS-232 Control
The bi-directional IR and RS-232 ports allow for seamless control of connected devices. Refer to the setup section for connection details. Once connected, IR signals from a remote control or RS-232 commands from a control system will be transmitted across the HDBaseT link to control the corresponding device.
