MS-0401E USER GUIDE Introduction The MSolutions 4-way HDBaseT / IP Gateway is a small form-factor unit with 5 x HDBaseT / IP ports, offering an efficient HDBaseT / IP switching platform. The unit is designed to offer two differing types of HDBaseT / IP switching, allowing for up to 4 x...
MS-0401E USER GUIDE Connectivity Overview - front • HDBaseT input / output ports (x 4) - connect to CAT cable to transmitter/s or receiver/s Connectivity Overview - back 1. Power connector – connect to supplied 12V 2A power supply 2. 3-pin Phoenix connector 3.
/ LAN The MS-0401E can be used to transfer the signal from one point of transmission to one of the 4 x outputs. When there is no power to the MS-0401E, port 1 is automatically selected as a static pass- through.
CAT cables can be used for video signal distribution. Power The MS-0401E allows for all HDBaseT and PoE power schemes to pass-through the unit the same as if a single CAT cable were to be connected between the transmission equipment were connected to the remote equipment.
