Frequently Asked Questions - AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT Atlona

What is the maximum distance supported by the AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT?

The extender supports distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) for both 4K/UHD and 1080p signals using CAT6/6a/7 cables.

Can I power the transmitter and receiver separately?

Yes, the kit supports bidirectional remote power. You can connect the included 48V power supply to either the transmitter or the receiver, and power will be sent over the HDBaseT cable to the other unit.

How do I update firmware on the device?

Download the firmware .bin file from the Atlona support page, connect the transmitter's micro-USB port to a PC, then drag and drop the .bin file into the detected folder. The receiver updates automatically when connected to the transmitter.

What type of Ethernet connection does this extender support?

The LAN ports on the transmitter and receiver provide 100Base-T Ethernet pass-through, allowing network connectivity between a source and display or network switch.

How do I use the RS-232 control?

Connect a 3-pin captive screw connector to the RS-232 port. The pinout is RX, TX, and Ground. Commands are passed bidirectionally between the transmitter and receiver.

How do I test the HDBaseT cable quality?

Press the TEST button on the transmitter. The LED will show: solid green for good cable, solid yellow for one or two pairs not working, solid red for multiple pairs failing. Refer to the LED descriptions in the manual.

Does the extender support ARC (Audio Return Channel)?

Yes, ARC is available on the HDMI connections to minimize cabling in audio return applications.

What cables are recommended for best performance?

Atlona recommends CAT6A or CAT7 cables with TIA/EIA 568-B termination. For stranded/patch cables, use UTP6A or STP6X from Atlona.

Can I use IR control with this kit?

Yes, the kit supports IR pass-through. Connect a 3rd party controller to the IR IN port and an IR emitter to the IR OUT port. Different connector types are available for TX and RX.

How do I mount the transmitter and receiver?

Use the included mounting brackets and screws. Attach brackets to each unit, then secure to a flat surface using the oval holes. Brackets can be inverted for under-table mounting.

Cable Recommendation Guidelines

Refer to the tables below for recommended cabling when using Altona products with HDBaseT. The green bars indicate the signal quality when using each type of cable. Higher-quality signals are represented by more bars.

Core Shielding CAT5e CAT6 CAT6a CAT7
Solid UTP (unshielded) N/A
STP (shielded)
Performance Rating (MHz)	350	500	600	800

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use UTP6A (https://atlona.com/product/utp6a/) and STP6X (https://atlona.com/product/stp6x/) if a stranded/patch cable is needed. These cables have been tested and approved to work with these extenders for full functionality.

Cable*	Max. Distance @ 4K	Max. Distance @ 1080p
CAT5e	295 feet (90 meters)	330 feet (100 meters)
CAT6/6a/7	330 feet (100 meters)	330 feet (100 meters)

*Atlona recommends TIA/EIA 568-B termination for optimal performance.

TEST

The transmitter has the ability to test the HDBaseT cable quality through the front panel. Press the test button on the front panel of the transmitter to start the test, the LED will display the testing results.

Button:

• Blue Blinking: The test is running properly and the button will blink 10 times during the testing process.
• Red Light: There is no signal for the test to check.

LED:

• No Light: There is no HDBaseT cable plugged in.
• Blinking: There is no HDBaseT signal coming through.
  • Solid Green: The HDBaseT cable is good.
• Solid Yellow: One or two HDBaseT pairs are not working, reterminate the cable.
• Solid Red: Multiple pairs are not working. Reterminate the cable and if the LED turns yellow or red again, replace the cable.

Updating Firmware

1. Download the firmware .zip file from the firmware tab located at https://atlona.com/product/AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT.
2. Unzip the .bin file to an easy to locate area of the local PC.
3. Connect the transmitter's FW micro USB port to a PC using a micro USB to USB A cable (purchased separately).
4. The PC should automatically detect the unit and display the autorun options. Select the view files in folder option. A new window will open.
5. If there are any files inside the folder, delete them, otherwise drag and drop the .bin file into the folder. While the firmware loads to the unit, the green power LED on the front panel will flash. This process can take up to 5 minutes to complete.
6. Once the green LED goes solid, disconnect the unit from the PC. The firmware update is finished.

NOTE: Only the transmitter will be used for updating firmware. The receiver will be updated once it has been connected to the transmitter if it is not connected at the time of the firmware update.
