Frequently Asked Questions - AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT Atlona

What video resolutions does the AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT support?

It supports 4K/UHD 60Hz 4:2:0 up to 130 feet (40 meters) and 1080P 60Hz up to 230 feet (70 meters) over CAT6a/7 cable.

Can I power both the transmitter and receiver with a single power supply?

Yes, the kit supports bidirectional remote power. You can connect the included 48V DC power supply to either the transmitter or the receiver, and it will power both units over the HDBaseT cable.

What type of cable is recommended for maximum performance?

Atlona recommends CAT6a or CAT7 solid cable with TIA/EIA 568-B termination for optimal performance and maximum distance. For stranded/patch cables, use UTP6A or STP6X from Atlona.

How do I use the built-in cable test feature?

Press the TEST button on the front panel of the transmitter. The LED will blink blue during the test. A solid green LED indicates good cable; solid yellow means one or two pairs failed; solid red means multiple pairs failed; no light means no cable connected.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the firmware .zip from Atlona's product page. Unzip the .bin file, connect the transmitter's FW micro-USB port to a PC, and drag-and-drop the .bin file into the detected folder. The green power LED will flash during update and go solid when complete. The receiver updates automatically when connected.

Can I control the source or display via RS-232?

Yes, the kit supports bidirectional RS-232 pass-through. Connect a 3-pin captive screw connector to the RS-232 port on either the transmitter or receiver to send serial commands to the other end.

How do I connect IR control?

For IR transmission, connect an IR emitter to the IR OUT port on the transmitter (using the included 4-pin connector). For reception, connect an IR receiver to the IR IN port on the receiver (using the 3-pin connector). Note: The transmitter IR IN uses a 2-pin (signal+ground) for 3rd party controllers; the receiver IR IN uses a 3-pin (power+ground+signal) for 12V receivers.

Does this extender support ARC (Audio Return Channel)?

Yes, ARC is available on the HDMI connections of both the transmitter and receiver, allowing audio from the display to be sent back to the source over the same HDBaseT cable, reducing cabling.

What mounting options are available?

The kit includes four mounting brackets and eight screws. You can surface-mount the units to a flat surface or invert the brackets for under-table mounting. Use #6 drywall screws for drywall.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty details are available at https://atlona.com/warranty/. Atlona typically offers a limited warranty, but please check the official page for specific terms.

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/6	115 feet (35 meters)	200 feet (60 meters)
CAT6a/7	130 feet (40 meters)	230 feet (70 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-EX70C-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.
