Frequently Asked Questions - VX-1003-RX Black Box

What is the maximum distance for 4K video transmission with the VX-1003-RX?

The maximum distance is 328 feet (100 meters) using a CAT6 cable at 4K @ 30 Hz. For 1080p @ 60 Hz, it can reach the same distance.

Does the VX-1003-RX support power over HDBaseT?

Yes, it supports Power over HDBaseT (PoH). The receiver can send 48 VDC power to the connected HDBaseT transmitter, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the transmitter end.

What video resolutions can the scaling receiver output?

The receiver scales incoming video to 4K @ 30 Hz (3840x2160), 1080p @ 60 Hz, 720p @ 60 Hz, WUXGA (1920x1200), and WXGA (1280x800).

What control interfaces are available?

The unit supports RS-232 via a 3-pin Phoenix connector, Ethernet (2x RJ-45 for pass-through or control), IR input and output (3.5 mm), and USB for firmware updates.

Can I use the VX-1003-RX with a presentation switcher?

Yes, it is designed to work with Black Box presentation switchers like the AVSC-0401H. This combination allows multi-room AV switching with scaling for mixed display types.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the VX-1003-RX receiver, a 12 VDC power supply with interchangeable plugs (US, EU, UK, AU), two IR sensors, and two mounting brackets.

How do I clean and maintain the device?

Clean the enclosure with a dry cloth. Do not use liquids or aerosol cleaners. Ensure the unit is unplugged during cleaning and during lightning storms.

Is the VX-1003-RX HDCP compliant?

Yes, it is compliant with HDCP 2.2, allowing protected content from Blu-ray players, streaming devices, and other sources to be displayed.

What type of cable is recommended for HDBaseT connection?

Use a CAT5e or higher cable terminated according to IEEE-568B standards. For best performance, use solid-core, shielded CAT6 or CAT7 cables.

Why are the LEDs not lighting up after installation?

Check the power supply connection to the transmitter or switcher (if using PoH). Ensure the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated and not longer than the specified distance. Verify that the source and display are powered on and compatible with HDBaseT.

Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The VX-1003 RX (VX1000 Series Extender Scaling Receiver - 4K, HDMI,

HDBaseT, Audio1 is a 4K HDBaseT receiver with a 4KΦ30 Hz Scale. It

districts uncompressed or video, Internet, RS-232, and functional fit together up to 338 feet (193 m) over a single CAT6v7 cable.

Vtra a /k @ 30 Hz crystal built in, the mother combines the benefits of an

extended distance HDBaseT receiver with the capabilities of automatic display control by CEC or RS-232, volume adjustment, Ethernet switching, and optional third-party control.

When used with a presentation switcher (AVSC-0401H), the scaling receiver

offers a multi-room AV switching system with vario scaling that enables old

100p and NEW 4K displays to show 4K sources simultaneously.

Use the scaling receiver in applications where high-quality video scaling to 4K

To stop cross-scaling is required because of mix of displays in different aspect ratios or preferred timing.

Chapter 3: Initial Installation

1. Initial Installation

2. Using quality HDMI cables, connect an HDBsetT transmitter (VX-1001-TX, VX-1002-TX) or presentation switcher (AVSC-04D1-H) to the HDBsetT IN port of the scaling receiver.
   NOTE: Make sure that the source and display are 4K compatible if you are attempting to transmit an Ultra HG signal—check that all devices are correctly configured for input/output compatibility.

3. Connect a good quality, well-terminated CAT5c or higher cable between the HDBase1 OUT of the transmitter or switcher to the HDBase1 N of the VX-100B-RX Scaling Receiver.
   NOTE: The maximum transmission distances for the extenders are 230 feet (76 meters with CAT5eCAT6 or 326 feet (105 meters with CAT5eCAT7). This value applies to perfect transmission conditions including straight cable runs with no electrical interference, berms, links, patch panes, or wall outlets.
   If any of the above is a factor in your installation, transmission range may be affected—avoid this where possible.
4. Connect the HDMI display device (LED/LCD display or projector) to the HDMI OUT of the VX-1023 RX Scaling Receiver.
5. Connect the audio system to the SPBIF OUT or Audio OUT port of the VX 1003 RX.
   NOTE: We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets to secure the receiver to a flat surface behind near the display device. Sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of pictures/sound if connections loss or strain, resulting in unnecessary source call-backs.
6. Connect the induced 12-VDC power supply to the VX-1001-TX Transmitter or AVSC D401H Presentation Switcher and power it an. The PAH function carries power along the length of the cable one way to power the Receiver. No additional power supply is required at the display end of the cable run. Power, Status, and HDCP, and Link LEDs illuminated on transmission/switcher and scaling receiver units indicates a successful connection. An HDCP light illustrates the presence of encryption within the signal. The Power and Link LEDs are static lights. The Status LCD should be blinding.
