DIGITUS DS-55523 HDMI HDBaseT 3.0 Extender Set Instruction Manual
Introduction
The DIGITUS® HDMI HDBaseT™ 3.0 Extender Set enables uncompressed AV signal transmission in 4K/60Hz, 4:4:4 at 18 GB/s over a distance of 100 m via CAT 6A (or higher) cables. Both on the transmitter and on the receiver, there are two USB-A “Device” ports as well as a USB-B “Host” connection. This allows USB signals, e.g. fo KVM, USB data carriers etc., to be integrated on both ends and connected to the processing PC on the respective opposite end. Both devices can be switched between “Host” and “Device” mode using aDIP switch. The system enables bidirectional transmission of PoC (Power over Cable) and IR. Via RS232, both devices can be controlled separately. Analog stereo audio decoupling is also available. Another impressive feature is versatile eARC/ARC compatibility, which enables the connection to new and older audio devices such as AVRs (Audio Video Receiver). Two modes (ARC, S/PDIF) are available here, which can also be toggled very easily using a changeover switch.

Input & Output Switching
The Extender can switch to ARC/SPDIF mode by pressing the SELECT
button on the front panel of both transmitter and receiver. The HDMI OUT port
of the transmitter can turn to LOOP OUT or AUDIO ONLY through the LOOP
OUT/AUDIO ONLY Switch. The input and output routing are different for
different sceneries. As shown in the diagrams below:
Scene 1: Set the Extender to SPDIF Mode. Then switch the LOOP OUT/AUDIO
ONLY switch to right, the HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is set to AUDIO
ONLY.
Scene 2: Set the Extender to SPDIF Mode. Then switch the LOOP OUT /AUDIO
ONLY switch to left, the HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is set to LOOP OUT.
Scene 3: Set the Extender to ARC Mode. Then switch the LOOP OUT/AUDIO
ONLY switch to right, the HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is set to AUDIO
ONLY.
Scene 4: Set the Extender to ARC Mode. Then switch the LOOP OUT/AUDIO
ONLY switch to left, the HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is set to LOOP OUT.
Scene 5: Set the Extender to eARC Mode. Then switch the LOOP OUT/AUDIO
ONLY switch to right, the HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is set to AUDIO
ONLY.
Scene 6: Set the Extender to eARC Mode Then switch the LOOP OUT/AUDIO
ONLY switch to left, the HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is set to LOOP OUT.
Note: In eARC mode, the SPDIF OUT port can only output the audio up to 5.1CH
Audio Embedding and De-embedding
The Transmitter supports audio embedding and de-embedding. The L/R IN/OUT port can be used for audio embedding or de-embedding through the L/R IN/OUT switch.
TX Audio Embedding
When the L/R IN/OUT switch is switched to left. The audio from external audio
device will be embedded to the L/R IN/OUT port.
TX Audio De-embedding
When the L/R IN/OUT switch is switched to right. The L/R IN/OUT
port will output the audio de-embedded from the HDMI IN port.
USB Mode Applications
The Extender supports USB2.0 transmission, and Host/Device is configurable.
Mode1: USB forward from TX to RX Switch the HOST/DEVICE USB switch to
left, then power off and reboot the transmitter to set to USB Host mode.
Meanwhile switch the DEVCE/HOST USB switch to left, then power off and reboot
the receiver to set to USB Device mode.
Mode 2: USB reverse from RX to TX Switch the HOST/DEVICE USB switch to
right, then power off and reboot the transmitter to set to USB Device mode.
Meanwhile switch the DEVCE/HOST USB switch to right, then power off and reboot
the receiver to set to USB Host mode.
IR Pin Definition
IR Receiver and Blaster pins definition as below
| IR Blaster | 1 | + |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | – | |
| IR Receiver | 1 | IR Signal |
| 2 | Grounding | |
| 3 | Power 12V |
