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 scenarios, 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.
Mode 1: 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 DEVICE/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 DEVICE/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 pin’s definition as below:

Note: When the angle between the IR receiver and the remote control is ± 45 °, the transmission distance is 0-5 meters; when the angle between the IR receiver and the remote control is ± 90 °, the transmission distance is 0-8 meters.
