Product Introduction

Thanks for choosing the PT-HDBT-210 HDMI 2.0 via HDBaseT Extender, which consists of a transmitter and a receiver module. It can extend 4K video to a distance up to 40 meters and 1080p video to distances up to 70 meters over a single CATx cable. It supports audio de-embedding and ARC. It also supports bidirectional IR and RS232 to be passed through to control source or display device remotely. The PoC feature allows the transmitter and the receiver to be powered by only one power adapter in the system. Besides passing EDID information from the display, there are multiple built-in EDID settings that can be selected by the 4-pin DIP switch on the front panel of the transmitter. Further, the extender supports convenient firmware upgrades using the Micro-USB port.

DIP Switch Operation

EDID Management

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to match its video resolution with the connected display. By default, the source device obtains its EDID from the first connected display. Meanwhile, since the displays with different capabilities are connected to the extender, the DIP switch on the front panel of transmitter can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure the compatibility in video resolution and aspect-ratio.

The switch represents “0” when in the lower (OFF) position, and it represents “1” when putting the switch in the upper (ON) position. Switch 1~3 are used for EDID settings. The DIP switch status and its corresponding setting are shown at the back of the product.

User-defined EDID Setting

Except directly invoking the built-in EDID, the specific EDID can be customized by following the process below..

1. Rename the user-defined EDID according to the following format. EC_xx_xxxxx_xxxx_xxx.bin EC: Fixed value xx: EDID ID. It is “15”. xxxxx: Video resolution. xxxx: Refresh rate. xxx: Audio format. Example: EC_15_3840x2160_60Hz_Dolby.bin
2. Connect the USB port of the transmitter to the PC using a USB cable and then power on the transmitter. The PC will automatically detect a virtual disk named “BOOTDISK”.
3. Double-click to open the disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” will be showed.
4. Copy the user-defined EDID (such as EC_15_3840x2160_60Hz_Dolby.bin ) to the “BOOTDISK” disk.
5. Reopen the disk to check if the filename “READY.TXT” has changed to "SUCCESS.TXT”. If yes, the user-defined EDID was successfully imported into the transmitter and saved as its corresponding EDID successfully.
6. Remove the USB cable, and then reboot the transmitter.
7. Now the new EDID can be invoked by setting the DIP switch status to “111”.

ARC Mode

HDCP Mode
Switch the DIP 4 into “ON” position to select HDCP Active mode or into “OFF” position for HDCP Passive mode.

The front panel of receiver provides a buttons to enable or disable ARC mode, as shown below:
Press the button with paper clip or other sharp tool to enable the ARC mode, and then the left LED illuminates blue. Press it again to exit the ARC mode and the LED is off.

System Connection

transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via the audio cable, and will be output by the ARC Audio Out port of the transmitter.
Note that if the ARC mode is ON, the Audio Breakout port of the receiver has no audio output.

The following diagram illustrates the typical input and output connections of the extender:
1) The ARC mode of receiver is ON, and the display device (e.g. HDTV) supports ARC. The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via HDMI cable, and then it will be output by the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter.

2) The ARC mode of receiver is ON, but the display device (e.g. HDTV) doesn’t support ARC. The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via the audio cable, and then it will be output by the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter.

Note: The STP cable is recommended to be used to ensure optimal machine performance in ARC mode.
