IR detector input. The IR received by the detector can be routed to any particular or combination of outputs. 8 separate IR emitter ports are provided on the rear of the UHBX-8X The source of these signals would be IR detectors at each remote location. This would be perfect for controlling multiple sources in a rack remotely from where the TV’s are located... -

8x8 HDMI matrix that has HDBaseT outputs. Hall Research manufactures 8x8 HDMI matrix with the outputs on the right side. So if you stack the UHBX-8X with the above matrix, using short 5 inch patch cables you can add cross-point capability to the extender as shown below: Figure 2 –... - Page 5 Term Direction Output Input Figure 6 – RS-232 path from UHBX-8X to remote receivers 3.2.3 Extender IP Connection Figure 5 – IP Port The RJ45 connector is a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port.

- Page 7 UHBX does provide the means to send “learned” IR codes, but to learn the codes a Hall Research model HR-4P may be needed. The IR send command for “learned” codes are typically a series of 64 Hex bytes that precisely define the IR signal to be generated.
- Page 8 8-Port HDMI Extender with Power, IR, and RS-232 IR Emitter (Blaster) Cables Currently two IR emitter cables are available: CIR-EMT and CIR-EMT2. CIR-EMT, shown below, is recommended for most applications Figure 13 – IR Emitter Cable CIR-EMT (Emitter has adhesive backing) Pin out: Tip=Anode, Ring=Cathode, Sleeve=Not Connected An alternative Emitter cable is CIR-EMT2.
- Page 9 The UH-1BTX-R, does not have a mode switch, however the mode can be set on the UHBX-8X using the Windows GUI. If you are using UH-1BTX and would like to set the link mode to Long Reach, you can do that using the Windows GUI through the USB connection.
- Page 10 IR or RS-232 (such as UHBX-R-PD), the UHBX-8X keeps the HDBaseT link fully active at all times even if there is no video. If you are using UHBX-R-PD as receiver, but are not using the RS-232 nor the IR functions, it is recommended that you turn on “power management”...
- Page 11 UHBX-8X If all the LED’s on the front panel are blinking together, then the unit has detected an over temperature condition and is performing a partial shutdown to prevent damage to the integrated circuits. This condition is reversible and when the temperature decreases to acceptable levels the extender begins to function normally again.

All byte received after this command end up in a FIFO and will be sent out after receiving a special two byte end of data designator (referred to as terminal characters). Therefore The UHBX-8X does not distinguish between ASCII or Hex data, all data are treated as bytes The user has 1-5 seconds to enter any data or characters, or a timeout will occur. - Page 13 ISk,m,n <cr> Command: IS9<cr> Stands for IR Send Detailed Timing (HR Protocol) If the protocol of the particular IR Remote you intend to emulate is unknown it is possible to instruct the UHBX-8X to send IR commands based on detailed...
- Page 14 (demodulated type 2) will be required for learning these codes. The learned codes can be cut from the HR-4P GUI, and used as data for the IS9 command. The IS9<cr> command is followed by a string of hex bytes to be sent out. The user has up to 5 seconds to enter each hex byte from 0x00 to 0xFF.
