Before Beginning
WyreStorm recommends visiting the product page before installing this product for updates to this Quickstart Guide as well as other information about the product.

  • Verify that all items are included per the In The Box list.

Pre Wire

  1. Run a Cat5e/6/6a cable from the transmitter location to the receiver location no longer than 70m/230ft (4K UHD) and 100m/328ft (1080p).
    Terminate the cable per the HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring section.

  2. (Optional) If using 3rd party IR emitters or connecting blocks at either the transmitter or receiver, run the wire and terminate per the IR TX (Emitter) Wiring section.

  3. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, run the wire and terminate per the RS-232 Wiring section.

  4. (Optional) If using 3rd party IR receivers at either the transmitter or receiver, run the wire and terminate per the IR RX (Receiver) Wiring section.

Receiver Installation

  1. Connect the HDMI Out on the receiver to an input on the display using an HDMI cable from a high-quality brand such as WyreStorm Express.
  2. Using the cable created in Pre Wire step 1, connect the 8-pin RJ-45 female plug to the HDBT In jack.
  3. (Optional) Place an IR emitter onto the display device near the device’s IR sensor and connect it to the IR TX port.
  4. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, connect the 3-pin connector to the RS-232 port on the receiver and the opposite end to a port on the device being controlled.

HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring

HDBaseT Wiring

IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines

  • The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse effect on HDMI or HDBaseTtransmission limiting performance. Steps should be taken to minimize these factors (or remove them completely) during installation for best results.
  • While similar in nature, the HDBaseT protocol is different than Ethernet, and voltages provided for PoH can be higher than those provided by PoE. For this reason, never connect an HDBaseT link to an Ethernet router or switch to avoid damaging the connected devices.

Wiring for HDBaseT follows the EIA T568B standard.

Wiring 1

Resolution Distances

The type of category cable used and the distance between the matrix and the receiver can restrict the available video resolution.
Refer to Video Resolutions in the Specifications table for the max distance based on resolution.

IR Wiring

IR TX (Emitter) Wiring
The connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
IR RX (Receiver) Wiring
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs +5V DC to power the included IR receiver.

IMPORTANT!

  • 3rd party IR receivers may require a different voltage, refer to the documentation provided with the IR receiver before making any connections to avoid damaging the device.
  • When connecting to an IR control system use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK cable to remove the sleeve +5V DC.

RS-232 Wiring

RS-232 Connection Guidelines
The following wiring diagram shows the pinouts for the extender set. While not shown, connect the TX (transmit) to RX (receive) pins at the control system or PC side of the cable.
Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.

Power Supply Wiring
The RX-70-4K v2 can receive power via PoH from a compatible HDBaseT matrix or send power to a transmitter. Should the distance or other factors prevent PoH from being used, connect a 12V DC 2A power supply (sold separately) to the receiver.

Troubleshooting

No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)

  • Verify that power is being supplied to the transmitter and receiving device and that both devices are powered on.

Note:
When using PoH, to power the transmitter, verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated per the HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring section.

  • Verify that the matrix, receiver, and display support the output resolution of the source. Refer to Video Resolutions in the Specifications table.
  • If transmitting 3D or 4K UHD, verify that the HDMI cables used are 3D or 4K UHD rated.
  • Verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated per the HDBaseT Wiring section.
  • Verify that all source and HDBaseT connections are not loose and are functioning properly.

No or Intermittent 3 rd party Device Control

  • Verify that the IR cable(s) is properly terminated. See IR Wiring.
  • Verify that the IR emitter is located near the IR receiver on the device.

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable to other devices to verify functionality.
  • Use a flashlight to locate the IR receiver behind any tinted panels on the device being controlled. It will likely appear as a small round disc.
