Installation Guide

UDM-RX02 

Multi-Format Receiver

Overview

Installed at the display device, the UDM-RX02 converts the signal received from the 
UDM-1604 or UDM-0102 Multi-Format Distribution Hub to standard audio/video signals. With 
intelligent receiver technology, each UDM-RX02 is powered remotely from the Multi-Format 
Distribution Hub via Cat 5/5e/6 cable. 

The receiver supports an embedded control function to allow detection of a change in signal 
from the hub and automatic switch of the Plasma or LCD screen to its new video format. 

The UDM-RX02 also allows an optional local power supply to be added for long cable runs.  

Common Application

Perfect for the receiving end of sources to be displayed in classrooms, conference rooms or 
other presentation rooms.

Features

Video Support for 1600 x 1200 (UXGA), 1920 x 1080 (HDTV), Component YPbPr, 

S-Video, Composite PAL/NTSC

S/PDIF, Digital and analog stereo audio support

IR blaster and receiver ports

Compatibility

The UDM-RX02 is compatible for use with the following UDM Hubs:

UDM-0102 (FG-UDM-0102) - supports Common Synch Mode.

UDM-0404 (FG-UDM-0404) - supports Common Synch Mode.

UDM-1604 (FG-UDM-1604C) - supports Common Synch Mode.

UDM-1604 (FG-UDM-1604) - does not support Common Synch Mode. In this case, 

the UDM-RX02 will function, but without Common Synch Mode.

Product Specifications 

Configuration

The UDM-RX02 is configured via the UDM Hub’s WebConsole. Refer to the UDM Hub’s 

Operation/Reference Guide

 for details.

Audio & Video Formats/Resolutions/Distance 

Note

: The maximum distances indicated above are not absolute, but are recommended 

distances that have been tested to deliver video at the specified resolutions, without 
significant signal degradation. In particular, lower resolutions (640 x 480, 720 x 480 and 
800 x 600) can often be delivered significantly further than what is indicated in the table. 
Refer to the UDM Hub’s Operation/Reference Guide for additional details on maximum cable 
distances.

Wiring and Connections

All of the connectors and ports are located on the rear panel (FIG. 2): 

UDM Hub Port (RJ45)

The UDM-RX02 connects to a UDM Hub through a Cat 5/Cat 6 connection. Refer to the 
UDM Hub’s 

Operation/Reference Guide

 for details.

Serial Port (RJ12)

The SERIAL (RJ12) port allows administrators to control the various functions to the 
UDM-RX02 from a command line prompt and terminal connection. 

Requires a DB9-to-RJ12 adapter cable (FG-RS01) to connect to a PC.

Default settings = 9600, 8 bit, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit.
