Overview

URC’s HDA-I/O Stream Receiver/Injector creates or receives HDA audio streams over the network. This device must be configured by a certified URC integrator to function as either a Stream Injector or Stream Receiver. As a Stream Injector, this device distributes any connected audio source (digital or analog) over the network to any available HDA-controlled zone. As a Stream Receiver, the HDA-I/O connects to your favorite 3rd party audio device and provides it with access to all HDA audio streams on the network. HDA products are NOT compatible with URC’s legacy Total Control amplifiers (DMS).

Features & Benefits:

Stream Receiver or Stream Injector Capabilities: Configured via URC software, the HDA-I/O can receive or transmit HDA audio streams over the local network.
HDA Audio Streams: As a Stream Injector, this device distributes any connected audio source to any available HDA controlled audio zone.
Source Sharing: Any zone controlled via an HDA amplifier or I/O device has to access to the system’s HDA Audio Streams.
Flexible Zone Linking: When connected to a 3rd party audio device as a Stream Receiver, the HDA-I/O can link that 3rd party zone with any other HDA controlled zone.

Integrated Audio Sensor: Each available input on the HDA-I/O has built-in audio sensing capabilities. These sensors can be used to trigger programmed events or activities.
Zone Input Ducking: The HDA-I/O has the ability to “fade in” an audio input over the currently selected audio input. The perfect solution is to briefly lower the volume on the current source is to making an audio announcement or doorbell chime.
Power Configuration Options: The HDA-I/O can be powered via PoE or the supplied 12VDC adapter.

Parts & Pieces

Included with the HDA-I/O are the following:

Front Panel Descriptions

There are three (3) LEDs on the front panel of the HDA-IO:

Power LED: Indicates one (1) of the following:
• Solid Blue: Power has been applied to the device and it has successfully initialized.
• Off: Power has been removed from the device.
Status LED: Indicates one (1) of the following:
• Solid Blue: The device has been programmed with Total Control software and is ready for operation.
• Blinking Blue: The device is receiving a download from the Total Control programming software.
• Blinking Green: The device is receiving a firmware upgrade, this light continues to blink until the update is fully applied.
• Off: The device has not been programmed with Total Control software.
Ethernet LED: Indicates one (1) of the following:
• Solid Blue: The device has received an IP address from the local network.
• Blinking Blue: The device is connected to the local network; however, it has not received an IP address.
• Off: The device is not connected to the local network.
Reset Button: There are two (2) ways to press this button:
• Single Press: Tap the Reset button to power cycle the device.
• Factory Reset: Press-n-hold the Reset button for 10 seconds or more.
This option cannot be reversed, once the device has been factory defaulted it requires re-programming.

Rear Panel Description – Using as a Stream Injector

Below are the available connections on the rear of the HDA-IO:

DC IN: Connect the supplied 12VDC adapter to this port to power the HDA-IO.
LAN: Full Duplex Gigabit LAN ONLY, for audio streaming and zone control (Wi-Fi NOT supported, device must be hard-lined to the network).
12 VDC CTRL: Mono 3.5mm connector capable of supplying 150mA of current.
Analog/Digital Inputs: Both of the following inputs can be used to provide HDA “high-definition” audio streams. Only one input can be in use at any given time.
• Analog – Unbalanced RCA
• Toslink (Optical)
• Digital Coax

Rear Panel Description – Using as a Stream Receiver

Below are the available connections on the rear of the HDA-IO:

DC IN: Connect the supplied 12VDC adapter to this port to power the HDA-IO.
LAN: Full Duplex Gigabit LAN ONLY, for audio streaming and zone control (Wi-Fi NOT supported, device must be hard-lined to the network).
12 VDC CTRL: Mono 3.5mm connector capable of supplying 150mA of current.
Analog/Digital Outputs: All three (3) available outputs can be used. The HDA-IO as a stream receiver provides 3 rd party audio zones with access to audio sources streaming via HDA.
• Analog – RCA Style
• Toslink (Optical)
• Digital Coax

Installation Instructions

The HDA-IO amplifier is supplied with two (2) “L” shaped brackets for mounting on the wall or secure vertical surface.

Insert the supplied screws into the two (2) keyed slots on the L shaped bracket (as displayed on the image at the right).
This L shaped bracket can be pre-installed and the HDA-IO amplifier can be inserted afterward.
Insert the supplied screws into the four (4) keyed slots for wall mounting.
Keyhole Diameter: 0.48”/12.5mm
Assure that all screws have been installed securely.

Network Setup

When using more than one (1) HDA devices, URC’s HDA-SW5 Network Switch is REQUIRED on the local network.
For more information on the HDA-SW5 Network Switch, please refer to the HDA- SW5 Owner’s Manual.
Although 3rd Party AVB switches may be utilized, they are not supported by URC’s Technical Support team.

Connecting the HDA-I/O to the Network

Connect an ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the head-end network switch.
If no switch is connected to the network then connect the ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the local router (Luxul preferred).
Connect the ethernet cable from the previous step to any available LAN port on the HDA-SW5.
Connect another ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the HDA-SW5 Network Switch.
Connect the ethernet cable from the previous step to the ethernet port found at the rear of the HDA-IO (page 5).
Configure the HDA-IO to a DHCP/MAC reservation within the local router and program the device into the new or existing Total Control system. A certified URC integrator is REQUIRED to integrate the HDA-IO into a new or existing Total Control system.
