Setup, DDC Buffer | Extron electronic 101 PLUS specification

Powering Via the Input Source

For shorter distances, the HDMI 101 Plus can receive power from the input device via the 5 VDC signal on pin 18 of the HDMI cable (see the table on page 3). This eliminates the external power supply. However, for best unit performance, Extron recommends using the external supply.

NOTES: • If the source does not adequately supply the +5 V power, an external power

supply must be used.

• To verify if the source is providing power, connect a short HDMI cable from the input device to the input of the equalizer. If the HDMI 101 Plus front panel LED lights amber, the source is supplying power.

Setup

DDC Buffer

By default, the DDC buffer is bypassed. Some applications require that the DDC be buffered when there is no picture on the display. This is not always an issue as it depends on a combination of the source, display and cable length. To buffer the DDC, follow these instructions.

1.Remove and keep the screws holding the cover to the base. There is one screw on the front panel and two screws on each side. Set aside the cover and retain the screws.

CAUTION: Do not remove the screw on the back panel. This secures the internal circuit board and does not attach the base to the cover.

2.Locate the two sets of jumpers next to the HDMI input (shown in the figure to the right).

3.By default, both sets of jumpers connect pins 2 and 3 (closest to the HDMI input), bypassing the DDC buffer (see the diagram to the right).

To buffer the DDC, connect pins 1 and 2 (closest to the side of the unit) on both jumpers.

4.Replace the cover, using the screws that were removed in step 1.

NOTE: When DDC channels are buffered, use an external power supply for best results.

Connecting for Long Cable Runs

To use the HDMI 101 Plus effectively, follow the recommendations in figure 5 for cable lengths between the source device and HDMI 101 Plus and between the HDMI 101 Plus and the display device. Position the HDMI 101 Plus at the end of the cable closest to the display.
