Introduction The Atlona AT-HDVS-200-TX is a 3×1 switcher and HDBaseT transmitter with two HDMI inputs and a VGA input with audio. Video signals up to 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, plus embedded audio, control, and Ethernet can be transmitted up to 330 feet (100 meters). The two-channel audio input can be assigned to any of the video inputs and embedded for HDBaseT transmission.
This LED indicator will glow bright green when the network. switcher is powered. 17 HDBaseT OUT AUDIO IN Use an Ethernet cable to connect an HDBaseT PoE Connect a 3.5mm mini-stereo audio cable, from an receiver to this port. analog audio source, to this port. AT-HDVS-200-TX / AT-HDVS-200-TX-PSK...
7. OPTIONAL: Connect an RS-232 control device to the RS-232 port on the switcher. This port is used to control functions of the AT-HDVS-200-TX, such as volume up/down, display on/off, etc. No power supply is required for the AT-HDVS-200-TX. This unit will be powered over the Ethernet cable, from an HDBaseT receiver.
Installation AT-HDVS-200-TX-PSK Only 9. Connect the included power supply to the DC 48V port. Powering the AT-HDVS-200-TX-PSK will provide power to other HDBaseT receivers or projectors that require power. 10. Connect the power supply to an available AC outlet. Connection Diagram Audio Amplifier...
IP Configuration The AT-HDVS-200-TX is shipped with DHCP enabled. Once connected to a network, the DHCP server (if available), will automatically assign an IP address to the unit. Use an IP scanner, along with the MAC address on the bottom of the unit, to identify both the unit and its IP address on the network.
Using the Web GUI System page (page 28), in the web GUI, allows the AT-HDVS-200-TX to use either DHCP or static IP mode. In order to access the web GUI, the IP address of the AT-HDVS-200-TX must be known. 1. Open the desired web browser and enter the IP address of the AT-HDVS-200-TX.
The Web GUI Introduction to the Web GUI The AT-HDVS-200-TX includes a built-in web GUI. Atlona recommends that the web GUI be used to set up the AT-HDVS-200-TX, as it provides intuitive management of all features. The AT-HDVS-200-TX is shipped with DHCP enabled. Once connected to a network, the DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to the unit.
Once the desired menu element is highlighted, click the left mouse button to access the settings within the menu. Menu bar In this example, clicking Video, in the menu bar, will display the Video page. AT-HDVS-200-TX / AT-HDVS-200-TX-PSK...
Buttons are used to execute an action or setting. Several pages within the Web GUI include a Save button. Clicking the Save button will apply and save all settings in the current page.

CEC command structure defined in HDMI 1.2a. It is recommended that dealers re- quest an evaluation product from Atlona, before designing a system using the CEC protocol. If this is not possible, then other control methods will need to be considered, in order to control displays using Atlona products.
Setting Description This is the default setting. The AT-HDVS-200-TX will make four attempts to send the command, if the feedback string is not acknowledged. After the fourth attempt, the process will fail. Sends the command and ignores the feedback string.
