Audio Setting (Group 1)

2-Pin (Group 1) DIP Switch of FUNCTION DIP Switch is used to set audio function. To return HDMI ARC from TV to AVR:

• Set Pin1 of the receiver (RX) to “up”, ARC mode. RX HDMI ARC will be returned through HDBaseT link to TX connected AVR. In this case, AVR HDMI out is connected to TX HDMI IN. See Figure 1.

To return SPDIF inserted audio:

• Set Pin1 of a transmitter (TX) to “up”, audio return mode. And,•
• Set Pin1 of the receiver (RX) to “down”, SPDIF IN mode.
•  After the above settings, audio inserted via RX SPDIF IN port can be returned back to TX and output from TX SPDIF OUT. See Figure 2.

To extract TX HDMI IN audio:

• Set Pin1 of a transmitter (TX) to “down”, HDMI de-embed mode. HDMI IN embedded audio will be extracted and outputs via SPDIF OUT. See Figure 3. HDMI extraction audio supports up to 5.1CH Dolby&DTS or 2CH PCM.

IR & RS-232 Setting (Group 2)

4-Pin (Group 2) DIP Switch of FUNCTION DIP Switch is used to set IR and RS-232 functions.

• Pin1 is set to “Up”, IR Receiver port does not supply 12V power, when set to “Down”, the IR Receiver port does supply 12V power. Transmitter and receiver are configured separately.
•  Pin2 is set to “Up”, RS-232 Serial DTE mode. Pin2 is set to “Down”, RS-232 Serial DCE mode. Transmitter and receiver are configured separately.
•  Pin3 and Pin4 are set to “Up” simultaneously, RS-232 port is set to pass through.
•  Pin3 and Pin4 are set to “down, up”, connect to a PC to upgrade unit firmware.
•  Pin3 and Pin4 are set to “Up, Down”, use the Valens tool to upgrade the Valens chip.

CONNECTIONS

HDBaseT Link (RJ45) Connection
This device is designed to operate with category cables for communication between the transmitter and receiver. The transmission path may include a maximum of two keystones and two patch cables, as long as the total length does not exceed 100 m depending on the category cable and resolution desired.

Note: The HDBaseT Link RJ45 connection includes a 48V signal. Do not connect anything to this port other than a B-660-EXT-444-100AS transmitter or receiver.

RS-232 Control Connection:

• Bidirectional RS-232 signals are transmitted between the device transmitter and receiver over the category cable. The transmitter may be connected to a control system, and the receiver may be connected to an RS-232 controllable device.
  RS-232 Control (DB-9) – See Section 8.2.1
  HDBaseT Link Category – See Section 8.1

Figure 5: RS-232 Connections

RS-232 Control (DB-9) Connection:

To eliminate the need to make crossover or null modem cables, the RS-232 pinouts can be configured for DCE or DTE. Set switch 2 to DCE if the connected device is DCE, and to DTE if the connected device is DTE.
Typically, the control system will be DTE and the controlled device will be DCE, however, devices may vary. Refer to the manual for the connected devices for proper pinout configuration.
