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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
