Chapter 5: Hardware Installation

5. Hardware Installation

1. Connect an HDMI or VGA input source (such as Blu-ray) to the VX-1002-TX transmitter.
   NOTE: Be careful when connecting cables, do not force the case ends into the connection.
2. Connect a good quality, well-terminal CATset cable of no more than 230 feet (70 m) for 4K or 328 feet (100 m) for 1060p from the HDBeeT OUT and the Transientive HDBeeT box at the HDBeeT box
   NOTE: 230 feet (70 m) @ 4K or 328 feet (100 m) @ 1060p video are maximum recommended transmissive distances for this model and remote posttransmission conditions—including straight cable runs with no electrical interference, bends, kints, touch panels, or well outlets.
   If either of the above is a factor in your installation, transmission range may be affected—avoid where possible.
3. Connect an HDMI display device (LED/CD display or projector) to the HDMI OUT port on the HDBaseT receiver.
4. Connect the IR emitter cable to the IR OUT port of the VX-1002-TX, connect the IR receiver cable to the IR RX port of the receiver, and connect the IR emitter to the IR TX port of the receiver.
5. Power on the HDBaseT receiver, if the HDBaseT receiver doesn't support the PSE function, correct, a 12 V power supply to the VX-1002-TX transmitter.

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting

1. Troubleshooting

The majority of HD distribution installation issues are either caused by minor connection errors, communication problems between devices, or when the transmission of high signal bandwidth is attempted using insufficient cable. It you encounter any technical difficulties when installing and controlling the matrix, refer to the following troubleshooting checklist: if you cannot resolve your problem, contact Black Box Technical Support at 677-677-2269 or [e-mail]

Problem: No picture or poor-quality picture

Possible Solutions:

1. Power—is your transmission device and receiver powered with correct LED indication?

2. If possible, always use test equipment before installation and to troubleshoot any problems.

3. Check that the display device supports HDCP, is switched to the correct source input mode, and is compatible with the member if you suspect any issues, replace the display device with another model.
4. Distance: Is the cable top long for the signal to be transmitted effectively? Make sure the cable distance matches the project requirements and is well within the maximum transmission distance of the signal.
   NOTE: If you need more distance than the transmitter can provide, use another extender set to be sure that the signal reaches its destination effectively.
5. Cable joins—Joins in the cable run or 10-45 connectors can impact signal strength, resulting in reduced transmission that may manifest itself in incorrect picture quality, picture dropping out, or no picture.
6. Cable choice and signal reduction—Are stranded pouch leads used as interconnects between peach panels or wall outlets? CCA (Copper Clad aluminum) cables being used? These can reduce transmission rates by up to 40%—we recommend solid-core straighthrough cables with minimum connections used wherever possible.
7. Correct connection—Double-check that all UIP, HDMI, power and R cables are connected to the correct ports.
   NOTE: Even a fraction off target can make the difference between a perfect picture and a blank screen. Double-check all connections are firmly made in the correct ports.

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting

1. Is the cable ward to 5686 standards? Is the cable ward and terminated correctly and are those terminations connected to the correct ports? Incorrect wiring and termination will result in unstable operation or a blank screen.
2. Electrical interference—could any form of interference be generated? If so, attempt to remove the source of electrical interference or move the cable run to decrease the effects of the interference.
3. Is a picture displayed when connecting the source directly to the display? It not, then the problem could be with the input or output device rather than the cable or matrix itself.
4. HDMI lead condition and quality—HDMI cables and connectors are delicate and can be damaged much easier than component or case cable. Lead quality varies dramatically, particularly in lower price brackets. Swap HDMI leads and check operation—damage to or quality of your leads could be the problem. If in doubt, swap them over. Be careful when inserting and extracting your HDMI from matrix parts so you don't damage the connectors or ports.
5. Picture speckles/HD "noise". A poorly established signal that may be caused by poor quality or excessive HDMI cable lengths. Try swapping the display adapters from a location that is functioning property or swapping the outputs of the matrix switch used.

If the problem remains on the same screen, this may be caused by a connection problem between matrix and display—turn off all equipment and swap the signal carrying cables at both ends to determine if the cable or termination is at fault.

I-D Noise (NO image) may be an HDCF Issue between the source and display, but poor cabling can also cause this via poor communication.

1. Bu-ray: 3D—Is the equipment used 3D enabled compatible? Is a 3D disk playing in a 3D-enabled Bu-ray player or through a compatible AV receiver?
2. Color distortion—a pink or green screen indicates an incompatibility between color spacing formats—the commonly used RGB or YUV used by older displays. Some sources allow switching between RGB and YUV which may save any color problems. If not, change the HDMI cable between the source and the matrix to rule out defective calling.

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting

Problem: No sound or poor-quality audio.

Possible Solutions:

Audio is transmitted within the video signal. there is no separate audio track so a problem with sound will be accompanied by a problem with picture. But you might have technical issues with audio caused by problems communicating between sources, displays, and/or AV receiver settings.

1. Have specific speaker sets or zones been enabled? Some AV receivers allow individual speaker selections assigned to specific zones in the set up so check the speakers used are fully connected to the employer and correctly assigned within the system set up. An EDID issue might occur when the source reads the audio EDD from the display and only requests two channel audio. You might need to copy EDID from the AV receiver or use an embedded EDD in the AMP or matrix.
   NOTE: If you have problems when using an AV receiver, the cause is usually the settings of the AV receiver itself. Refer to the AVS manufacturer's guidelines for the correct settings to use for your requirements.
2. Consistency of audio output between devices. Is there any discrepancy between the audio output of the source, the audio or onal settings of the AV receiver, and the speaker configuration used needed for successful audio replication? If outputting 7.1, make sure all devices connected are also in line using 7.1.
   NOTE: Some source device settings might allow audio output through a IV or an HDMI port. If using an AV receiver, be sure to select the HDMI output option.
3. Do all the local sources work through the AV receiver? Check the operation of each source individually
4. Bandwidth—If using a graphics-based source (such as a PC/Mac/media server), make sure the source resolution is set to a maximum of 1080p, 50 Hz. Higher resolutions available for graphics-based systems require higher bandwidth that may affect transmission of signals as well as incompatibility with devices.
