Input & Output Switching

Switch the extender to ARC/SPDIF mode by pressing the SELECT button on the front panel of both transmitter and receiver. The HDMI OUT port of the transmitter can turn to LOOP-OUT or AUDIO ONLY through the LOOP-OUT/AUDIO ONLY switch. The input and output routing are diﬀerent for certain scenarios. See the diagrams below for details:
Example 1: Set the extender to SPDIF mode, then toggle the LOOP-OUT/ AUDIO ONLY switch to the right. The HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is now set to AUDIO ONLY.

Example 2: Set the extender to SPDIF mode, then toggle the LOOP-OUT/ AUDIO ONLY switch to the left. The HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is now set to LOOP-OUT.

Example 3: Set the extender to ARC mode, then toggle the LOOP-OUT/ AUDIO ONLY switch to the right. The HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is now set to AUDIO ONLY.

Example 4: Set the extender to ARC mode, then toggle the LOOP-OUT/ AUDIO ONLY switch to the left. The HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is now set to LOOP OUT.

Example 5: Set the extender to eARC mode, then toggle the LOOP-OUT/ AUDIO ONLY switch to the right. The HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is now set to AUDIO ONLY.

Example 6: Set the extender to eARC mode, then toggle the LOOP-OUT/ AUDIO ONLY switch to the left. The HDMI OUT port of the transmitter is now set to LOOP OUT.

Audio Embedding and De-embedding

The transmitter’s L/R IN/OUT port supports audio embedding or de-embedding using the L/R IN/OUT switch.

TX Audio Embedding
When the L/R IN/OUT switch is switched to left, the audio from the external audio device will be embedded to the L/R IN/OUT port.
TX Audio De-embedding
When the L/R IN/OUT switch is switched to right, the L/R IN/OUT port will output the de-embedded audio from the HDMI IN port.

USB Mode Applications

The BG-EXH-100C6 supports USB 2.0 transmission and the Host/Device is also conﬁgurable.
Mode 1: USB forward from TX to RX
Toggle the HOST/DEVICE USB switch to the left, then power oﬀ and reboot the transmitter to set to USB Host mode. Meanwhile, toggle the DEVICE/HOST USB switch to left, then power oﬀ and reboot the receiver to set to USB Device mode.

Mode 2: USB reverse from RX to TX
Toggle the HOST/DEVICE USB switch to right, then power oﬀ and reboot the transmitter to set to USB Device mode. Meanwhile, toggle the DEVICE/HOST USB switch to right, then power oﬀ and reboot the receiver to set to USB Host mode.

IR Pin Deﬁnition

IR Receiver and Blaster pin’s deﬁnition as below:

Note: When the angle between the IR receiver and the remote control is ± 45 °, the transmission distance is 0-5 meters. When the angle between the IR receiver and the remote control is ± 90 °, the transmission distance is 0-8 meters.
