UHBX-R-XT
1.0 Introduction
The award winning UHBX-R-XT is an HDBaseT Receiver with integrated
HDBaseT transmitter for connection to downstream HDBaseT receiver(s) in a
daisy-chain fashion. It provides a local HDMI output, an RS-232 port for
controlling displays, and it also extends IR signals (IR signal detected at
source is broadcast to all receivers - IR cables sold separately).
The RS-232 port can be used to send commands (such as power on/off) to
compatible displays and projectors. This can be done either automatically
(autonomously by detecting video), or directed by an external Serial Control
Device using Hall Research's simple command set.
When RS-232 operation is under external control, each receiver in the daisy
chain can be individually addressed for sending specific commands at that
particular node. In order to communicate with a given receiver, each receiver
in the daisy-chain is assigned a unique address.
The UHBX-R-XT provides a Mini-USB port that is used to assign the box
address, configure operation mode, upload internal commands (required for
automatic on/off control), and more. A free Windows® GUI software is
available on the product's webpage for users who want to take advantage of
the product's control capabilities.
The distance between receivers (in a daisy chain), is 100 meters (328 ft)
maximum, however, if the video is limited to 1080p (24 bit color or
8bits/color), then users can utilize the “Long Reach” function of the receiver
that allows UTP cables of up to 150 meters (500 ft) between consecutive
receivers in the daisy-chain (Long-Reach mode does not support 4K or deep
color).
