Connections

Before making any connections, power off your source and display devices.

Tx Unit:

› Using a short HDMI cable, connect your source device to the HDMI port labeled “HDMI Input”.

For DVI-D/DVI-I sources, use appropriate adapters. For Display Port, use active converters.

› Connect the CAT5e/6 UTP or STP cable that connects to the Rx Unit at the port labeled

“CAT5e/6 Output”. Use 568-B Termination.

› Make IR In and Out connections to receive (IR In port) or send (IR Out port) control signals.

Refer to the “Extending IR & RS-232 Control” for more information.

› Connect a stripped wire to DB9 adapter cable for bi-directional RS-232 control.

Refer to the “Extending IR or RS-232 Control” and the “RS-232 Commands” section for more

information.

Rx Unit:

› Using a short HDMI cable, connect your output / display device to the HDMI port labeled

“HDMI Output”.

› Connect the CAT5e/6 cable at the port labeled “CAT5e/6 Input”. Use 568-B Termination.

› If you are sending or receiving IR, connect included IR Sensor and/or IR Emitter.

› If you are transmitting or receiving RS-232, connect to the IR out (RS-232) port.

› After all the connections are made, connect power using the included power supply and then

power up your source and display equipment.

Extending IR or RS-232 Control

RS-232:

Bi-directional RS-232 is achieved utilizing the IR Out (RS-232) port on the Tx and Rx units. The

connector is 3-pin phoenix and the pinout is the same on the Tx and Rx unit. RS-232 can not be used

at the same time as IR.

› RS-232 Pass-through Mode

» Send and receive (bi-directional) RS-232 commands for controlling remote equipment. Supports

baud rate up to 115,200bps.

› Control Mode

» Provides control of Tx units as well as connectivity status

» See RS-232 Commands section for more information

› Firmware Upgrade Mode

» Two different types of ﬁrmware may be updated: MCU (KD-X222PO units), and HDBaseT

(extension over CAT5e/6)

RS-232 Cabling

RS-232 cables are available through Key Digital and other wire suppliers, and can also be fabricated by

skilled technicians.
