Installation
Connect the HDMI source (Blu-ray, PC, media player, etc.) to the HDMI IN
port on the sender.
Optionally,
connect the HDMI OUT to a local display.
Connect the HDBaseT output(s) of the sender to HDBaseT Input(s) of the
receiver(s). Ensure the cables do not exceed 70m for 4K or 100m for
1080p video.
Connect the HDMI OUT1 and/or OUT2 of the receiver to a compatible
display.
Connect power to the sender. (For ECHO-8S, use 24 V 2 A supply for main
power, and 24 V 4 A supply for PoC power.)
Optionally,
connect Audio Out at the sender or receiver to an external
audio amplifier or sound reinforcement system.
Optionally,
connect the RS-232 or IR detectors and emitters to allow for
remote control of the displays or other compatible peripherals. See
Section 5 below for more information about RS-232 commands.
EDID Routing and Emulation
Each ECHO sender has a three-position switch to control which EDID is
presented to the video source: Local, Remote, or EMUL (emulate).
Local: Use the EDID of the display attached to the local HDMI OUT port.
Remote: Use the EDID of the display attached to the Receiver. For
ECHO-4S and 8S, the Sender will check the first HDBaseT Output, then
the second, and so on. If there are no displays attached, it will use an
emulated EDID that is stored in the ECHO-RX2 Receiver.
EMUL: Use an emulated EDID stored in the Sender.
NOTE
When using the ECHO-1S with ECHO-RX2, install the power
supply at either the sender or receiver, whichever is more
convenient. When using the ECHO-4S or ECHO-8S, install
the power supply at the sender side only, and all of the
receivers receive power via PoC.
DO NOT apply power to receivers
when using ECHO-4S or ECHO-8S.
