Introduction About this Manual There are two subsets of transmitters and receivers in two different enclosures or form factors: This manual contains information about the Extron family of High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) extenders, the HDMI 201 Tx/Rx transmitter and receiver pair, including how to install, operate, and configure them. N • In this manual, the term "Tx/Rx" refers to either product.
Introduction, cont’d N In this manual, the terms "HDMI 201," "HDMI 201 Tx," "HDMI 201 Rx," "transmitter," and "receiver" refer to the applicable unit(s) in either form factor, unless otherwise specified. TP cable advantages Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial or HDMI cable. These transmitter and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome.

Installation and Operation Mounting the Tx/Rx C Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. VersaTools Rack Shelf Non-Decora unit mounting The 1" high, quarter rack width HDMI 201 (non-Decora) transmitters and receivers can be placed on a tabletop, mounted on a rack shelf, or mounted under a desk or tabletop. The receiver can be mounted on a projector bracket.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 1U Universal Rack Shelf 1/2 Rack Width Front False Faceplate 1/4 Rack Width Front False Faceplate Both front false faceplates use 2 screws. Use 2 mounting holes on opposite corners. (2) 4-40 x 3/16" Screws Figure 2-2 — Mounting the transmitter or receiver unit on a standard rack shelf Under-furniture mounting The unit can be mounted under a horizontal surface using an optional MBU 125 under-desk mounting kit (part #70-077-01).
Installation and Operation, cont’d Loosely attach the mounting brackets to the transmitter or receiver using the four machine screws and washers supplied with the mounting kit. 1. Hold the transmitter or receiver against the inside of the surface through which it will be mounted. Mark the four screw holes on the inside of the surface to which you are mounting the device. 2. 3. Drill four pilot holes, each 3/32" in diameter by 1/4" deep, where you made marks. 4.
Installation and Operation, cont’d The PMK 300 has a hole in the bottom plate that allows the projector pole to be inserted through the center of the plate (figure 2-6), rather than outside of the plate (figure 2-5). To install the PMK 300 in this configuration, slide the bracket up from the bottom of the pole before the projector is installed on the pole.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Assemble the U-bolt and the following parts in the following order (figure 2-8): 6. a. Pass the legs of the U-bolt through the slotted holes on the mount plate flange. b. Place the legs around the projector pole. c. Pass the legs through the holes in the contour base. N The pole fits snugly into the depression in the center of the contoured base. d. Pass the legs through the holes in the L-shaped bracket. N The supplied U-bolt fits a typical (1.5" to 2.

Installation and Operation, cont’d Final installation After testing and making any adjustments, do the following: 1. At the power outlet, unplug the power supply. N 2. Connections Transmitter connections The rack-mountable transmitter is in a quarter rack width enclosure. The wall-mountable transmitter is in an enclosure that can be mounted in UL standard wall boxes with Decora®style face plates. One power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so only one unit needs a power supply.
Installation and Operation, cont’d HDMI 201 Tx Rear Panel POWER 12V 0.4A MAX HDMI 201 Tx HDMI INPUT Input Audio — Plug an unbalanced stereo audio input into this pair, left and right, of female RCA connectors (figure 2-14).
Installation and Operation, cont’d f Audio Output connector (HDMI 201 A D Tx [Decora] only) — Connect one end of a 5-wire audio cable to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole direct insertion connector. Connect the free end of the same cable from the transmitter to any compatibly wired unit, such as a switcher, an amplifier, or an HDMI 201 A D Rx (Decora) receiver. Figure 2-15 shows how to wire the captive screw audio connector. Insert the wires into the appropriate openings in the direct insertion connector.
Installation and Operation, cont’d N HDMI 201 A D Rx Front Panel HDMI AUDIO-R i HDMI Output connector — Connect a display with an HDMI input for display of the transmitted direct digital image. See "HDMI connector pin assignments," on the next page, for pin assignments. j RS-232 connector — Connect a serial communications port to this 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connector for bidirectional RS-232 communication. See "RS-232 connector wiring," on page 2-26, to wire the connector.

Side Pins: TIA/EIA T 586 A Pin Wire color Pin assignments and wiring HDMI connector pin assignments Figure 2-19 defines the pinout for the HDMI protocol.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Terminating shielded cable N The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables; but, to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables are recommended. The Tx/Rx includes four shielded RJ-45 connectors and a length of self-adhesive shielded tape that you can use to make the STP cables that connect the transmitter and receiver.
Installation and Operation, cont’d W C N The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring. The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out. Do not tin the power supply leads before installing in the direct insertion connector.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Transmitter power indicator a Power LED — HDMI 201 Tx (non-Decora) — This front panel LED lights green to indicate that the unit is receiving power: HDMI 201 A D Tx (Decora) — This two-color front panel LED lights to indicate signal and power status as follows: Technical Points for Digital Video and Content Protection Encryption • Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a digital video format that was created by the computer industry in 1999.
