Frequently Asked Questions - AT-HDTX Atlona

What is the maximum distance for 1080p transmission?

The AT-HDTX can extend 1080p signals up to 230 ft (70 m) over CAT6a/7 cable, and up to 197 ft over CAT5e/6.

Does this extender support 4K resolution?

Yes, it supports 4Kx2K pass-through up to 130 ft (40 m) over CAT5e/6.

How do I connect IR control?

Use the IR IN and IR OUT captive screw ports. For IR models, connect an IR receiver to IR IN and an IR emitter to IR OUT. Refer to the manual for pinout details.

Can I use a receiver with this transmitter?

Yes, the AT-HDTX is designed to work with compatible receivers like the AT-HDRX or AT-HDRX-IR. Connect them via a single CAT5e/6/7 cable.

How do I update the firmware?

Use a Mini USB cable to connect the transmitter to a Windows computer. Then follow the update instructions from Atlona. The firmware port is labeled 'FIRMWARE' on the front panel.

What is PoCc and how does it work?

PoCc (Power over Category cable) allows the transmitter to send power to the receiver over the same CAT cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the receiver side.

Is the device HDCP compliant?

Yes, the AT-HDTX is HDCP 1.4 compliant, ensuring compatibility with most HDMI sources and displays.

What type of cables should I use?

Use CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 cables with 568B termination. Avoid using patch panels and wall plates during initial setup to simplify troubleshooting.

*For IR products only

Captive Screw

Captive screw connectors are an added feature on the HD Extenders. The Captive screw connectors allow you to cut cables down to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter, and provides a more reliable connection.

Connecting

When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector (see picture A) has a contact plate at the top and must have the wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly (see picture B) the signal will pass, incorrectly (see picture C) no signal will pass.

The captive screw connectors have a contact bar that is moved to compress the wire to the top contact plate. Use the screws at the top of the connector to compress the wire against the contact plate.

Clockwise

Turn the screws clockwise to raise the contact bar to the upper contact plate and hold the wires in place.

Counter Clockwise

Turn the screws counter clockwise to lower the contact bar to release the wires.

For your convenience the cables do not come pre-terminated. Each item, whether it's an IR receiver (picture 1), IR emitter (picture 2), or power cable (picture 3), will have wires exposed. Each wire is encased in a different colored cover. Female captive screw connectors are included: Power (see picture 4) and IR (see picture 5).
