Product Introduction

Thanks for choosing this HDBaseT 1x4 Splitter Kit! This device accepts a single HDMI input and splits it into four HDBaseT outputs. The splitter is designed with an HDMI loop out which is intended to cascade to additional units. It supports video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz and all HDMI audio formats. It can extend 1080p signals on each output to distance up to 70 meters and 4K signals to distance up to 40 meters over a single Ethernet cable. It supports Power over HDBaseT (PoH), which allows the compatible receivers to be powered from the splitter over standard Ethernet cables. It supports bidirectional IR and RS232 pass-through and loop output.

Features

Usage Precautions

• Verify all components and accessories included before installation.
• System should be installed in a clean environment with proper temperature and humidity (see page 22 for limits).
• All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated and safe.
• All devices should be connected before power on.

System Diagram

The following diagram illustrates typical input and output connections that can be utilized with splitter:

Note: The HDBaseT receivers have no need of power adaptors, they can be powered by the splitter with PoH support.

Cascading

The splitter supports cascade connection to distribute video signal to multiple video displays. Use the following connection diagram as a guide for cascading multiple units. Note that each unit must have a unique ID if using RS232 control.

Controlling the Display Device by IR IN

The four IR IN ports of the splitter can receive IR signals from remotes to send to control displays. Connect four IR receiver to IR IN ports of the splitter, and then connect four IR emitters to IR OUT ports on HDBaseT receivers.

RS232 Control Software

• Installation: Copy the control software file to the computer connected with the splitter.
• Uninstallation: Delete all the control software files in corresponding file path.

Basic Settings:
First to connect all input devices and output devices needed, then to connect it with a computer which is installed with RS232 control software.
Double-click the software icon to run this software. Here take the software CommWatch.exe as example. The icon is shown as below:

The interface of the control software is shown as below:
9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bits

Please set the parameters of COM number, bound rate, data bit, stop bit and the parity bit correctly, and then commands are ready to send in Command Sending Area.

RS232 Command Format

Each unit in cascading system must have a unique ID if using RS232 control. Through the DIP switch ID PRESET to set their ID for distinguishing. For example, the unit ID of the first splitter is set as 0, and then the second is set as 1 and so on.
The system supports RS232 pass-through control; if the RS232 IN port is connected to PC, and the others are connected to the third-party devices, these third-party devices can be controlled by following these steps:

1. First, according to the below format to send the command to select the unit to receive commands ① Fixed value. ② The unit ID of splitter, x=0~9/A~F ③ Fixed value.
2. Second, send the specific control command data (HEX) to control the select third-party devices. For specific commands, please refer to the user manual of the devices which are needed to be control. For example, send A5 A5 A5 5A 01 VV 02 0A 01 00 RR to mute the third-party devices.

Switching on/off HDBaseT Outputs
The HDBaseT outputs can be controlled by sending commands. Connect the PC to the RS232 IN port, and then according to the below steps to switch on/off HDBaseT outputs.
Take the unit ID of 2 for example.

1. First, send F5 BB 6F 20 to select the unit to receive commands.
2. Second, according to the below format to send the command to switch on/off HDBaseT outputs. ① Fixed value. ② The four X represent four HDBaseT outputs. X=0, OFF X=1, ON If the HDBT 1 port need to be turned on, other ports are closed, the command AB AC BC 10 00 should be sent.

AB AC BC XX XX2

EDID Management

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to match its video resolution with that of the connected display. By default, the source device obtains its EDID from the first connected display. However, since the displays with different capabilities can be connected to the splitter, the EDID DIP switch can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value.

Note: When the four displays have the same resolution parameter, the source device will obtain the EDID with priority from HDBT 1 to HDBT 4.

Technical Specification

Note: Please adopt quality CAT Ethernet cable compliant with CAT6e or higher standard for reliable transmission.
