Page 7: Introduction
An HDMI 201 system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx). The pair can handle a single link of HDMI digital video and a bidirectional RS-232 link. The HDMI 201 A D also converts a computer audio input into balanced or unbalanced stereo audio output. - Page 8 • HDMI 201 A D Tx/Rx — These units are housed in enclosures that can be mounted in UL standard wall boxes with decorator-style face plates. These units also convert computer level audio to balanced or unbalanced stereo audio.

Page 9: Tp Cable Advantages
Skew-free A/V cable was designed for most Extron TP transmitter/receiver applications, but the HDMI 201 Tx/Rx does not work properly with this cable. Control Communications The RS-232 or infrared (IR) communications are pass-through only; the transmitter and receiver do not generate or respond to these signals. -

Page 12: Ul Guidelines For Rack Mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of an HDMI 201 unit onto a rack. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. - Page 13 The unit can be mounted under a horizontal surface using an optional MBU 125 under- desk mounting kit. Mount the unit under a desk or table as follows: Remove feet from the bottom of the HDMI 201 unit if installed. Secure the under-desk mounting brackets to the transmitter or receiver with the four machine screws provided in the mounting kit (figure 4).
- Page 14 If the screws are inaccessible to a screwdriver: Mark the location of the brackets relative to the screws. Remove the transmitter or receiver from inside the furniture. Tighten the screws. Replace the unit inside the surface (step 5). HDMI 201 • Installation and Operation...
