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 and 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.

Resolutions 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.
IR Wiring
IR TX (Emitter) Wiring
Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
Tip:
IR Signal
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
IR RX (Receiver) Wiring
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs
+5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
IMPORTANT! IR TX Connection Guidelines
• 3
rd
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 Guidlines
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 and
Set switches are in the proper position for the operation being performed.
Receiver RS-232 Mode
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.

EDID Settings
EDIDs can be configured to resolve issues with video output on displays that
may not accept the maximum resolution available from the source.
• Ensure that a display is connected and powered On to the selected output
before copying EDIDs or the copy will fail. When this occurs, EDID will be
set to 4K@30Hz 2ch.
• Power to the matrix must be cycled (Off/On) after changing dip switches in
order for the setting to take effect.

Power Supply Wiring
The EX-70-H2X can supply power from the transmitter to the receiver using
PoH on the same category cable that transmits audio and video. The included
power must be connected to the transmitter in order to power the receiver.
Should distance of the category cable or other factors prevent PoH from
being used, connect an 18V DC 1A power supply to both devices. Additional
power supplies may be purchased from WyreStorm.
