Wiring and Connections

HDMI Cables
The AC-AEX-DEARC-KIT uses the standard 19-pin HDMI female connector port for the inputs and outputs.

Note:
Ensure all HDMI cables and devices can support the signal being sent. For maximum performance, an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable rated for 48Gbps is more than sufficient for high bitrate audio signal transport and will match HDMI cables handling HDMI 2.1a Video signals.
Tip:
Ensure your HDMI cable is the correct length. The current HDMI specification calls for cables to be between 2 to 10 meters (6.6 to 33 feet). Smaller gauge HDMI cables may be unable to transmit higher bandwidth signals such as 4K/60Hz at distances greater than 5 meters (16.5ft).

AP-Link Port (Audio Proprietary Link) Wiring
The AP-Link input and output ports on both the Transmitter and Receiver utilize standard RJ-45 connections and feature PoC (Power-over-Cable) capability to supply power to either the Transmitter or Receiver depending on the device connected to the power supply. Existing Cat 5e cable may be used however, for maximum performance, recommended cabling is Category 6A UTP. With cabling rated lower than Cat 5e, kit performance cannot be guaranteed.

The recommended termination is based on TIA/EIA T568A or T568B standards for the wiring of the twisted pair cables

USB Port
The Type-C USB port on both the Transmitter and Receiver are courtesy ports intended for troubleshooting purposes when directed by AVPro Edge Technicians. No cables should be connected to these ports during normal operation.

RS-232 Wiring and Control

The RS-232 control ports on both the Transmitter and Receiver are used to pass bidirectional control signals to and from any RS-232-compatible device. Serial control connections are made using the provided 3-pin terminal block connector. The wire slips into the hole and is captively locked by the screw located on the top side of the connector.

Wiring for this port uses a 3-pin terminal block that utilizes pins 2, 3, and 5 when connected to a standard DB-9 connector. If the control signal device is not equipped with a DB-9 port, use a suitable adapter for the control device protocol port type required.

IR Wiring

Both the Transmitter and Receiver feature two 3.5mm jack ports for IR management. IR connections are made using the provided 3.5mm IR Emitter and IR Eye.

AVPro Edge recommends using the supplied IR EYE and IR emitter, as they are designed to correctly match the voltage parameters of the device IR ports.
Note: The emitter is a NON-VISIBLE type – it does not flash when there is activity

Connecting the Devices

Connect the Audio Input Source to the desired input on the AC-AEX-DEARC-T, ensure that the
Audio Input Source is turned On. The input types available are:

• The AC-AEX-DEARC-T eARC input (ARC is also supported) connects to the Smart TV designated eARC HDMI port via an HDMI cable (not supplied – an Ultra High Speed HDMI 48Gbps cable is recommended). If using an Active HDMI, ensure cable is following the correct direction.
• SPDIF via a TOSLINK cable (not supplied) from the TV’s optical output inserted into a provided Mini-TOSLINK adapter (supplied), connected to the AC-AEX-DEARC-T L/R+TOSLINK Audio In port
• Analog PCM via a 3.5mm analog stereo cable into the AC-AEX-DEARC-T L/R+TOSLINK Audio In port

Note: The AC-AEX-DEARC-KIT does not perform downmixing, a process that restores dialogue into the Left and Right stereo channels from multichannel content with a dedicated Center Channel.
Note: When connecting via Digital TOSLINK or Analog audio, settings in the Audio Menu of the Smart TV may need to be adjusted so the desired Audio format is output through these ports.

1. Connect the AC-AEX-DEARC-R to desired Audio Playback Device, ensure that the Audio Playback Device is turned On.
2. Connect Cat 5e (or better) cabling from the AC-AEX-DEARC-T RJ-45 output port to the RJ-45input port on the AC-AEX-DEARC-R.
3. Connect the 12V 2A power supply to one unit from the AC-AEX-DEARC-KIT. The companion unit is automatically powered via the Power-over-Cable feature.

Device Configuration
AC-AEX-DEARC-T SETTINGS
Recessed into the bottom casing of the AC-AEX-DEARC-T are 4 dipswitches which are used to configure the operating parameters of the unit. Each dipswitch/dipswitch combination controls a different aspect of unit operation

IR CONFIGURATION

DIPSWITCH 1 – The IR IN port is selectable for use between the following two functions:

• A – 0 (DEFAULT) – IR EYE
• IR-EYE places the port into an active state, providing power for an IR Sensor “Eye”.
• IR signals from an IR Sensor “Eye” are passed to the AC-AEX-DEARC-R IR Out port.
• Commands from a programmable Smart TV remote can control non-localized devices, such as an AVR.
• Connect the provided IR receiver eye cable to the IR-IN port of the transmitter to pass infrared signals generated from remote controls.

B -1 (I-PASS)

• Power to the port is switched off and the port reverts to a conventional passive state.
• IR commands (such as those from popular compact, single-room control systems that may be located behind a Smart TV) pass back to the AC-AEX-DEARC-R through the Category cabling, to control devices like CATV or DSS boxes.
• Connect a 3.5mm mono jack (TS) cable into an emitter port of a control system directly into the IR IN port on the AC-AEX-DEARC-T to pass IR signals directly to the AC-AEXDEARC- R IR OUT port.

AC-AEX-DEARC-T SETTINGS

AUDIO CONFIGURATION

DIPSWITCHES 2 & 3

• Use dipswitch positioning in Table 1 to select the audio input format the AC-AEX-DEARC-T will pass to the AC-AEX-DEARC-R downstream. The AC-AEX-DEARC-R features Dual Play technology that will output the selected signal from both the eARC OUT/HDMI OUT Audio port and from the L/R+TOSLINK output port.

Note: Audio menu settings in the Smart TV will determine the audio format to be sent to the AC-AEX-DEARC-KIT. For example, selecting 2-Channel PCM Stereo will send a combined Left and Right audio mix through BOTH eARC/ARC and the TOSLINK (if equipped) and analog audio (if equipped) outputs. Selecting passthrough for Digital CODECS will result in multichannel (and 3D immersive objects) sent to the audio outputs of the AC-AEX-DEARC-R. eARC/ARC information will pass through the eARC OUT/ HDMI OUT ports, however, what is passed from the L/R+TOSLINK port cannot be assured.
Important: As the AC-AEX-DEARC-KIT does not perform audio downmixing if eARC/ARC is selected for audio output, the audio information that will be output from the L/R+TOSLINK port will be whatever content is present on the multichannel Left and Right channels. On some content, this may include dialogue that appears normal however for other content, it may be sound effects channel information

Device Configuration
AC-AEX-DEARC-R SETTINGS

Recessed into the bottom casing of the AC-AEX-DEARC-R are 4 dipswitches which are used to configure the operating parameters of the unit. Each dipswitch/dipswitch combination controls a different aspect of unit operation

IR CONFIGURATION

DIPSWITCH 1 – The IR IN port is selectable for use between the following two functions:

• A – 0 (DEFAULT) – IR EYE
• IR-EYE places the port into an active state, providing power for an IR Sensor “Eye”.
• IR signals from an IR Sensor “Eye” are passed to the AC-AEX-DEARC-T IR Out port.
• Commands from a programmable Smart TV remote can control non-localized devices, such as an AVR.
• Connect the provided IR receiver eye cable to the IR-IN port of the transmitter to pass infrared signals generated from remote controls.

B -1 (I-PASS)

• Power to the port is switched off and the port reverts to a conventional passive state.
• IR commands (such as those from control systems) pass upstream to the AC-AEXDEARC- T through the Category cabling, to control the Smart TV.
• Connect a 3.5mm mono jack (TS) cable into an emitter port of a control system directly into the IR IN port on the AC-AEX-DEARC-R to pass IR signals directly to the AC-AEXDEARC-T IR OUT port.

AC-AEX-DEARC-R SETTINGS

HDMI AUDIO CONFIGURATION

DIPSWITCH 2 – Use to select between eARC audio output or conventional HDMI audio-only outputs:

• 0 (DEFAULT) – eARC OUT
• The HDMI port operates as an eARC/ output with compatible devices such as AVRs or Pre-amp processors.
• 1 (HDMI OUT)
• The HDMI port operates as a conventional HDMI audio-only output for any playback device equipped with an HDMI input. DIPSWITCHES 3 and 4 – These are reserved for future use and should remain in the default OFF (down) positions.

Troubleshooting

• Verify Power – Check that the power supply is properly connected and is outputting 12V.
• Verify Connections – Check that all cables are properly connected and/or terminated where applicable.
• Verify Terminations – Ensure you are using a minimum of CAT 5e UTP or STP without breaks such as keystones, punch downs, or other interconnectors. Field terminatable plugs are recommended.
• IR Not Passing – Ensure the provided AVPro Edge IR emitter and IR EYE are being utilized and are connected to the appropriate port.
• No Audio – Ensure the desired input is selected by the dipswitch settings.
• No Audio – Ensure the audio is not exceeding the desired AC-AEX-DEARC-R connection (for example, an eight-channel 3D immersive codec attempting to play through the TOSLINK digital output).
• No Power-over-Cable – Switch the 12V power supply to the opposite device to see if that corrects the issue.
• No Power-over-Cable – Ensure the Category cable run has not suffered damage.
• No Power-over-Cable – Ensure the Category cable distance has not exceeded 100m/328Ft.).
