1) System should be installed in a clean environment and has a prop temperature and humidity. 2) All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated and safe. 3) All devices should be connected before power on. PTN Electronics Limited www.PTN-electronics.com...
4) Connect the HDBaseT ports of HDBaseT receiver and MHD44TP-N with twisted pair. 5) Connect the RS232 port (9 pin female D) of MHD44TP-N with control device, e.g. 6) Connect the RS232 port of the device to be controlled to the RS232 port of the PTN Electronics Limited www.PTN-electronics.com...
HDBaseT Receiver or MHD44TP-N. The control signal can be transmitted bi-directionally. 7) MHD44TP-N can be controlled by its built-in IR receiver or the external IR receiver connected to the IR EYE port. IR signals can be transmitted bi-directionally between MHD44TP-N’s IR OUT/ IR IN and HDBaseT Reciever’s IR IN/ IR OUT.
