Introduction AVPro Edge presents its first 18Gbps over copper extender. Using ICT (Invisible Compression Technology) we have achieved what was thought to be impossible. We can deliver a virtually lossless high bandwidth 4K HDR signal with support for all signals up to 18Gbps. Deep Color and HDR Metadata remain intact making the transmission free of artifacts like banding. Other similar devices will deliver a sub-par image that has very visible banding and color shifting. Features · HDMI 2.

There are only two states for light: · Light Is On = Power supply is connected and functioning. · Light Is Off = Power supply is not connected or there is no power present.
minimum is recommended per HDMI Specifications. 3. Set the EDID to state #1 (See Page[s] 7). 4. If these suggestions do not work, enable the “Test Pattern” (See Page[s] 8). If you see the pattern, the problem is between the source and the Transmitter, please try a different source. 5. Contact AVProEdge if these suggestions do not work. LINK - Above RJ45 (HDBT) Port: (Green) This indicator shows that the AV HDBT link between the TX and Rx is in tact. This light should ALWAYS be solid.
EDID Management: GEN2 (pre DIP Switches) Press the SETTINGS button to cycle through the EDIDs 4 LED lights on the board inside the chassis (see below) · Solid LED = ON · Flashing LED = OFF Copy EDID: To COPY EDID from Sink Device, press the settings button until only LED #4 is lit up (USER EDID). With the Sync Device powered on and the USER EDID Slot selected, press and hold the settings button for approximately 5 seconds to copy and save that EDID. The red POWER LED will flash confirming copy successful.
Copy EDID: To COPY EDID from Sink Device move DIP Switches 1, 2, and 3 from OFF (up) to ON (down) at the same time while connected Sync is powered on. The EDID will be saved until this process is repeated (move 1, 2, and 3 all back to ON, then all 3 back to OFF). NOTE: Moving DIP 4 does not affect the COPY EDID function. You can use a coin or other flat object to move all the dip switches together, then once copied move DIP 4 back to desired position if needed.
Test Pattern Button - Transmitter with Dip Switches Use this button to Enable/Disable the built in 1080P Color Bar Test pattern. Press once to Enable, press again to Disable. NOTE: The Reciever also has built in test pattern generator. See page 10 for more details.
STATUS - On front by HDMI Port: (Blue) This indicator shows that the HDMI sink is connected. The states are: · Light Is On (Solid) = Sync w/ HDMI sink is correct and solid. · Light Is Flashing = The light flashes during the sync process. If it is flashing continuously, a picture may not be present. If the BLUE HDMI STATUS LIGHT is flashing, check the following: 1. The source. Plug it directly into the display to be sure it’s functioning properly. 2. Try a longer HDMI cable.
IR Configuration There are two different 3.5mm IR ports located on the Transmitter and Receiver. IR OUT and IR IN. There is also a IR MODE Switch for changing the behavior of the IR Input of the Transmitter. IR Eye will be when you are using an IR Receiving Eye, I-Pass is when using a direct connection to a control system. See page[s] 12 for more details.
In the example below a control system is plugged into the “IR IN” port of the HDBaseT Transmitter with a 3.5mm mono cable. The IR MODE Switch is set to I-PASS and a IR Emitter is plugged into the “IR OUT” port of the HDBaseT Receiver. This allows you to send an IR signal from a control system down the category cable to the sink (RX) and control the display. IPASS - This port is designed to be directly connected to a control system via a 3.5mm Mono cable NOTE: IPASS is only an INPUT.
Extracted Audio - L/R OUT A feature that is always active on the AC-EX40-444 (TX and Rx) is Audio Extraction. This feature extracts PCM Audio (2ch) from the source device in order to be run to a separate amplifier or AVR. BOTH of the audio ports are always active (on TX & Rx). NOTE - These ports ONLY work if the source is 2Ch. If down-mixing is needed, check out AC-AVDM-AUHD.
Audio Extraction Example RS-232 Pass-through For extending RS-232 communication over the Category cable. For these to pass a signal, both the Transmitter and Receiver need to have the Dip Switch set to Normal Mode, not RS-232 Program. Default out of the box is MODE NORM (Normal Mode). RS232 PROG (Program mode for Firmware updating).
Troubleshooting · Verify Power - Check that the power supply is properly connected and on an active circuit. The RX not receiving power (when powering from TX through the Category cable), bring the RX to the TX and try a different Category cable to verify functionality. · Verify Connections - Check that all cables are properly connected. · TX/RX Indicator Troubleshooting Lights - Pg. 5-6 · IR Issues - Verify correct connections - P.
