This will end stock disproportions, make servicing easier, and add new capabilities as in seconds the units can reverse direction. The new HT Pro Series even has Dante® option for 2 or 8 channels. We even went a step further by implementing ARC (Audio Return Channel) and allowing it to be fed to Dante or to the local line output making it a first.
USERS GUIDE HT-TC1 Front & Rear Front LED Indicators • POWER: Lights green when power is present. • STATUS: Will blink steady if unit is working properly. • HDBT: Lights when HDBaseT RJ-45 has proper connection between an RX/TX pair. Blinks when in sleep mode.
Page 11
IR IN: Plug the IR receiver into this port. The front built in IR receiver will no longer work once the external receiver is plugged in. Note this port should be used with Aurora IR receiver model as other brands may not follow the correct pinout or voltage.
Rear Connections • 48V DC: Power connector for 48V DC power supply. If remote device can supply power over HDBaseT then the local power is not required. Currently all receiver types from Aurora supply power over the HDBaseT. • HDBaseT: Connect CAT 5e/6/7 cable. Shielded cable is not necessary unless the environment has a lot of electrically noise.

USERS GUIDE prevent the HT-TX1-WP2 from properly fitting. Make certain to use a brand that fits the full dimensions listed in the specification section. Note: Only 1 supply or PoE is required to power both units from RX which can send power to the wall unit.
USERS GUIDE OPERATION Source Selection The HT Series can change between the various sources via front buttons, RS-232, LAN, and Auto-Sense. Once a source is selected the display will lock within a few seconds. The time to lock depends on the display but typical time can be from 3-5 seconds.
This allows not only the switching of the HT-TX1-WP2 to be controlled but the remote display device as well. Make certain the baud rates are set the same on the HT-TX1-WP2 and the DXB-8. More information on the DXB-8 can be found on the Aurora website www.auroramm.com...
USERS GUIDE Port Settings Note: Port Processing Session when set to Port Mirroring will allow the baud rates from one end to pass- through to the other. This feature is useful when combining with a DXB-8 or simply looking for a basic pass- through.

APPENDIX 4 Cabling Aurora extender products have been tested utilizing shielded cabling. Although our products will work fine without shielded cable it is highly recommended for environmental reasons as the signals are high frequency and can radiate as well as be susceptible to external frequencies and possibly cause noise or disruption in the image.
