USBModes

The BG-EXH-8KC6 supports USB 2.0 transmission and the Host / Device is configurable.

Mode1:USB from TX to RX

1. Switch the HOST/DEVICE USB control switch to the left and then power off and reboot the transmitter (TX) to set it to USB Host mode.
2. Next, switch the HOST/DEVICE USB control switch to the right on the receiver (RX) and then power off and reboot the unit to set it to USB Device mode.

Mode2:USB Reverse from RX to TX

1. Switch the HOST/DEVICE USB control switch to the right and then power off and the transmitter (TX) to set it to USB Device mode.
2. Next, switch the HOST/DEVICE USB control switch to the left on the receiver (RX) then power off and reboot the unit to set it to USB Host mode.

eARC/ARCAplications

The Audio Return Channel (ARC) in HDMI 2.1 enables a display, via a single HDMI cable or audio cable, to send audio data “upstream” to an A/V receiver. The BG-EXH-8KC6 will send the upstream audio from the receiver (RX) unit to the transmitter (TX) where it can be connected to a compatible device via HDMI ARC.

Note: Press the eARC buttons on the front panel of the transmitter and receiver to enable the eARC/ARC functions before trying to operate the system.
