Disclaimer
Before installation, please check the following settings of your source(s) and TVs/monitor(s):
-
Set display to 60 Hz. Double-check factory settings, as default can be set to a lower frequency (Hz) than advertised.
-
Ensure the input setting of your monitor is set at HDMI 2.0. Some displays may have default setting at HDMI 1.4.
-
Check if the Ultra HD (UHD) Deep Color setting is enabled on your TV/monitor. Confirm with your TV/monitor manufacturer
which HDMI ports support UHD Deep Color. -
Check the USB/IR switch. The default setting is “IR”.
Note: To connect a local monitor to your installation, the UHD Deep Color setting may need to be disabled on your local TV/monitor (depending on make/model) to achieve 4K / 60 Hz resolution.
Mounting Instructions
The B127A-1A1-BCBH includes mounting hardware that allows for a variety of
mounting methods. The following images illustrate how the included mounting
brackets can be attached for different installations.
Note: The model shown in the images below is for illustrative purposes
only. Your product may vary by model number, size or port orientation. The
mounting options for all over IP units are the same.
Installation
Notes:
-
Make sure all equipment in the installation—such as TVs, a Type-C notebook PC and the transmitter—is powered OFF.
-
Test to ensure the entire installation works properly before pulling cables through ceilings/walls.
-
To achieve maximum distance and performance, use 24 AWG solid wire Cat6 cable. Using stranded-wire Cat6 cable, or cable with a
gauge (AWG) size higher than 24 AWG, will result in shorter extension distance. Higher gauge cabling, such as 26 AWG, has a more limited transmission capability than lower gauge cabling. All Tripp Lite N202Series Cat6 cables are made with 24 AWG solid-wire
cabling. -
External power is not required for remote receiver units due to Powerover-Cable (PoC) technology incorporated in the transmitter units.
- Using a USB 3.0 Type-C cable, connect the USB Type-C source to the INPUT port on the local transmitter unit.
- Optional: Using an HDMI 2.0 cable (such as Tripp Lite P569-XXXCERT or P568-XXX-2A Series cables), connect a local monitor to the LOCALOUT port on the B127A-1A1-BCBH local transmitter unit.
- Using Cat6 cable, connect the RJ45 port on the local transmitter unit to the RJ45 port on the remote receiver unit.
- Using an HDMI 2.0 cable (such as Tripp Lite P569-XXX-CERT or P568-XXX-2A Series cables), connect the remote receiver unit’s HDMI port to a monitor.
- Turn the power on to your connected TVs/monitors. The LOCAL (orange) LED will illuminate to indicate the local port is connected to a display.
- Connect the external power supply to the local transmitter unit and plug it into an available wall outlet or (optional) a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The POWER (green) LED on the local transmitter unit will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power from the external power supply. The POWER (green) LED on the remote receiver unit will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power from the local transmitter unit through PoC technology.
- Turn on the power to the USB Type-C source. The OUTPUT (orange) LED on the local transmitter unit will illuminate to indicate a signal is received from the source.
- The (orange) RJ45 LED will illuminate on both the local transmitter unit and remote receiver unit to indicate a signal is received from source to display. The screen should now display on the connected monitor.
USB/IR/Toslink Controls
The extender kit provides the following functional controls:
- USB 1.1 – One Micro-USB input at transmitter, dual USB-A outputs at receiver
- Bi-Directional IR – Dual 3.5 mm jacks at both the transmitter and receiver
- Toslink – Audio output at receiver Note: All of the following USB/IR/Toslink steps are optional. For port locations, refer to the diagram in the Extender Kit Installation section.
IR Control
- Connect a user-supplied IR-OUT cable to the transmitter unit’s IR-OUT port. Place the sensor on the IR-OUT cable in an unobstructed area within clear view of the device being controlled. Then connect a user-supplied IR-IN cable to the receiver unit’s IR-IN port. The IR-IN cable will communicate the desired command via the transmitter’s IR-OUT cable.
Note: The IR-OUT cable receives the signal from the remote control and sends it to the device being controlled (e.g. Blu-ray™ player, etc.).
USB/IR/Toslink Controls
USB Control
- With a user-supplied USB Micro-B cable (such as Tripp Lite U050-XXX Series USB cable), connect to the transmitter’s Micro-B port. Then connect a keyboard and mouse to the available USB-A ports on the receiver unit.
Toslink Control
- With a user-supplied Toslink cable (such as Tripp Lite A102XXM Series cables), connect an audio receiver, compatible speaker(s) or other audio system equipped with a Toslink digital input.
