G

DC power input connector — Plug the included external

 

12 VDC power supply into either this 2-pole connector or the

 

power input connector on the transmitter (item Don page 2-17).

 

See "Power supply wiring," on page 2-25, to wire the connector.

H

Receiver input connector — Connect one end of the two

 

separate TP cables from the transmitter output connectors (item

 

Eon page 2-17) to these RJ-45 female connectors.

 

C Do not connect these devices to a computer data or

 

telecommunications network.

 

N Extron recommends 28AWG to 24AWG TP cable for the

 

RJ-45 connectors.

 

N Connect transmitter output 1 to receiver input 1.

 

Connect transmitter output 2 to receiver input 2.

NIf necessary, test for proper cable connection (output 1 to input 1, output 2 to input 2) as follows:

1. Plug both TP cables into the powered unit.

2. Momentarily connect either of the cables on the

opposite end into the unpowered unit‘s “2” connector.

If the unpowered unit’s Power LED is lit, the connection is correct.

If the unpowered unit’s Power LED is not lit, unplug the connector on the unpowered end and connect the other cable to the “2” connector.

See "TP cable termination," on page 2-22, to properly wire the RJ-45 connectors.

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.

NThe RS-232 connector can also transmit one-way modulated infrared (IR) signals. See "Modulated IR pass through" on page 2-32.

K

Audio Input connector (HDMI 201 A D Rx [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 to any compatibly wired audio source unit, such as a switcher's output or a HDMI 201 A D Tx (Decora) transmitter (item Fon page 2-18).

Figure 2-18 shows how to wire the captive screw audio connector. Insert the wires into the appropriate openings in the direct insertion connector. Tighten the screws on the side to fasten the wires.

HDMI 201 Rx specifications

The Extron Electronics HDMI 201 Rx is a versatile and high-performing HDMI receiver designed for professional AV installations. This device is engineered to extend HDMI signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) using a single Cat 6a or better cable, ensuring that high-definition video and audio can be transmitted over long distances without compromising quality.

One of the standout features of the HDMI 201 Rx is its ability to support resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz, along with 1080p video at 60Hz. This makes it an excellent choice for environments where crisp, high-resolution visuals are critical, such as classrooms, conference rooms, and auditoriums. The receiver also supports various audio formats, including LPCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS, ensuring that users receive a comprehensive audio experience.

Another key technology employed in the HDMI 201 Rx is EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management, which allows the receiver to communicate with connected displays to ensure optimal performance. This feature helps prevent compatibility issues and guarantees that the video output is tailored to the capabilities of the display device.

The HDMI 201 Rx also incorporates a unique feature known as HDBaseT technology, which enables the transfer of HDMI signals, Ethernet, and power over the same cable. This simplifies overall installation, reducing cable clutter and minimizing the number of required components. Additionally, the receiver includes built-in support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to be powered through the same cable that carries the data signal, which can be a game-changer for ease of installation.

Integrators will appreciate the compact design and low-profile form factor of the HDMI 201 Rx, which allows for discreet integration into various environments. The unit is equipped with a set of LED indicators that provide real-time feedback on power, link status, and signal presence, helping installers monitor performance and troubleshoot effectively.

In conclusion, the Extron HDMI 201 Rx is a robust solution for extending HDMI signals over long distances while maintaining high-quality video and audio performance. With its support for 4K resolution, EDID management, HDBaseT technology, and PoE capabilities, it meets the demands of modern AV installations, making it a reliable choice for professionals in the industry.
