General features
Flexible options for device control — The systems offer RS-232 and infrared (IR) control,
TCP/Ethernet control and monitoring, and digital I/O (digital input or digital output) controls.
The transmitters offers contact input ports, as well. The HCT 103 also offers tally output
ports.
Flexible mounting options —
• The HCT 103 transmitter and the HCR 102 receiver are each housed in a one inch high,
half rack wide enclosure, so they can be discretely mounted under a table or near a
display by using the included MBU 125 mounting kit. Alternatively, they can easily be
rack mounted using an optional rack shelf, or set directly on a table top.
• The HCT 102 D transmitter fits into a standard US 2-gang junction box or mud ring and
the HCT 101 D transmitter fits a standard US 1-gang junction box or mud ring for easy
wall or furniture mounting.
• The HCT 101 EU fits an EU 1-gang junction box, the HCT 101 MK fits an MK 1-gang
junction box, and either model fits into an Extron Flex55 mounting plate or junction box.
EDID Minder — An Extron proprietary process automatically manages the EDID
information between a digital display device and one or more input sources. By maintaining
continuous EDID communication with all sources, EDID Minder ensures that digital sources
power up properly and maintain their video output, whether or not they are actively
connected to the digital display device.
Two options for configuring AV settings — Configure the AV settings for transmitters
and receiver using Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS). The scaler and EDID
settings for the receiver can also be selected using the front panel controls and built-in on-
screen display (OSD).
Output scaling — Set the receiver to scale video output to match the resolution and
refresh rate required by the display. The HC 400 Series systems support a maximum
resolution and rate of 1920x1200 including 1080p at 60 Hz and 2K.
Auto-input switching — The HC 400 Series systems offer an auto-switching mode
(see Auto-Input Switching
panels are not easily accessible. Auto-switching modes can be enabled or disabled via
configuration software or the on screen display (OSD) menu.
Support for optional TLP Pro touchpanels — The HC 400 Series systems each support
one primary and one mirrored TouchLink Pro touchpanel over a standard Ethernet network.
Touchpanels are an option that provides a convenient interface for controlling the HC 400
Series system, which, in turn, controls the other system components.
NOTE: GUI Designer software is used to design the user interface layout of any optional
Extron TouchLink Pro touchpanel.
Support for optional NBP button panels — The HC 400 Series systems each support
NBP button panels as an alternative interface for controlling the HC 400 Series system.
Universal power system compatibility — These products include a 12 VDC, 3 A external
power supply that accepts 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.
Network and configuration features
• Global compatibility — The receiver uses industry standard Ethernet communication
protocols, including DHCP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, ICMP, NTP, SFTP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH,
TCP/IP, and UDP/IP.
• Embedded web page — The embedded web page includes online monitoring of
basic features. More items can be monitored via this page if the unit is part of a Global
Viewer Enterprise system.
