ATLONA AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-E Wallplate Transmitter

INTRODUCTION

The Atlona AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-E is an HDBaseT transmitter for video up to 4K/60 4:2:0, plus embedded audio, control, and USB over distances up to 330 feet (100 meters). It is designed for commercial installations in Europe, and includes interchangeable EU and UK faceplates and brackets. Part of the Omega™ Series of integration products for modern AV communications and collaboration, the OME-EX-TX-WP-E is HDCP 2.2 compliant and transmits RS-232 control signals. With a matching HDBaseT receiver, the integrated USB extension addresses the challenge of connecting between USB devices at remote locations, and is ideal for software video conferencing and touch or interactive displays. The OME-EX- TX-WP-E includes a USB 2.0 host interface for a PC, plus two peripheral devices such as a speakerphone, microphone, or keyboard and mouse. This transmitter is ideal for use with Omega Series receivers as well as switchers with HD BaseT inputs

RS-232

The AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-E provides an RS-232 port which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232 device. This step is optional

Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the RS-232 cable jacket.
Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires.
Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using the included 3-pin captive screw connector.
Connect the opposite end of the cable to the control system.

NOTE: Typical DE-9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed

Faceplate Removal and Assembly

Removal of the faceplate requires that the AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-E be disassembled from the electrical box or mud ring. A small Phillips-head screwdriver is required to remove the faceplate.

Unscrew both Phillips-head screws and the HDMI connector hex bolt from the front of the faceplate, as shown:
Gently remove the faceplate by pulling it toward you.

NOTE: It is not required that the AT-OME-EX-TX-WP-E be removed from the electrical box or mud ring before removing the wall plate.

Installation

Connect a UHD/HD source to the HDMI port.
OPTIONAL: Connect a USB cable from the host computer to the HOST port.
OPTIONAL: Connect up to two USB devices, such as a speakerphone or keyboard to the HUB ports.
Connect a category cable, from the HDBaseT OUT port on the rear of the transmitter, to the HDBaseT IN port on the receiver.
OPTIONAL: Connect an RS-232 cable between a control system and the RS-232 port on the transmitter. Refer to RS-232 (page 3) for more information.
