HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables,
and electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse
effect on HDMI or HDBaseT transmission limiting performance. Steps
should be taken to minimize these factors (or remove completely)
during installation for best results.
• While similar in nature, the HDBaseT protocol is different than Ethernet
and voltages provided for PoH can be higher than those provided by
PoE. For this reason, never connect an HDBaseT link to an Ethernet
router or switch to avoid damaging the connected devices.
Wiring for HDBaseT follows the EIA T568B standard.

Resolution Distances
The type of category cable used and the distance between the matrix
and receiver can restrict the available video resolution.
Refer to Video Resolutions in the Specifications table for the max
distance based on resolution.
Note:
When connected to a class B HDBaseT receiver, the supported resolution
is limited to 70m/230ft (1080p) and 35m/114ft (4K).
Audio Return Input Settings
ARC and the audio inputs and outputs can be configured to send audio
over HDMI or to local devices. Set the switches based on the connected
devices.
Set the switch to ARC to send the audio
returned from the display connected to the
receivers HDMI Out back to the transmitter.
Set the switch to the S/PDIF In to send the
audio from the displays S/PDIF Out back to the
transmitter.
S/PDIF Out (Digital Coax) Wiring
The S/PDIF out digital coax uses an RCA Male connector.

Audio Postive (+)
Shield: Audio Negative (-)
Power Supply Wiring
The RX-70-4K-ARC can receive power via PoH from a compatible
HDBaseT matrix. Should the distance or other factors prevent PoH from
being used, connect a 12V DC 2A power supply (sold separately) to the
receiver.
IR Wiring
IR TX (Emitter) Wiring
Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
Tip:

Sleeve: Ground (GND)
IR RX (Receiver) Wiring
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that
o5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
IMPORTANT!
3rd party IR receivers may require a different voltage, refer to the
documentation provided with the IR receiver before making any
connections to avoid damaging the device.

RS-232 Wiring
RS-232 Connection Guidelines
The following wiring diagram shows the pinouts for the extender set.
While not shown, connect the TX (transmit) to RX (receive) pins at the
control system or PC side of the cable.
Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can
vary from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected
device for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be
made.
Wire colors shown follow EIA-561 standard.

RS-232 Mode Settings
The RS-232 connector is used to transmit RS-232 over HDBaseT to the
remote location and for firmware updates. Ensure that the RS-232 Mode
switch in the proper position for the operation being performed.
Set the mode switch to Normal to transmit
RS-232 signals from the TX to the RX for
controlling devices in the remote location.
Set the mode switch to the Update position to
install a firmware update in either the TX or RX.
