Troubleshooting

No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)

• Verify that power is being supplied to all devices in the system and that they are powered on.
• Verify that all source and HDBaseT connections are not loose and are functioning properly.
• Verify that the transmitter or matrix, receiving device, and display support the output resolution configured in the receiver. Refer to Video Resolutions in the Specifications table before determining cable type and length.
• Verify that the receiving device and display support the output resolution of the source.
• If transmitting 3D or 4K, verify that the HDMI cables used are 3D or 4K rated.

No or Intermittent 3rd party Device Control

• Verify that the IR cable(s) is properly terminated. See IR RX (Receiver) Wiring.
• Verify that the IR emitter is located near the IR receiver on the device.
• Verify that the connected matrix is connected to a network switch or router.
• Verify that the RS-232 cable is properly terminated per the RS-232 Wiring section.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable to other devices to verify functionality.
• Use a flashlight to locate the IR sensor behind any tinted panels on the device being controlled. It will likely appear as a small round disc.

Wiring and Connections

WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in this entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.

HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring

IMPORTANT! HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring Guidelines

• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on HDMI and Ethernet transmission limiting performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.
• WyreStorm recommends using high quality HDMI cables such as WyreStorm Express to ensure the highest content performance available.
• The type of category cable used and length can restrict the available video resolution. While Cat5e can be used, WyreStorm recommends using Cat6 or higher to ensure the highest content performance available. See Video Resolutions in the Specifications table before determining cable type and length.

Pin 7: White/Brown

Pin 8: Brown

Wire colors shown follow EIA/TIA-568B standard.

Control Wiring

IR TX (Emitter) Wiring

Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.

IR RX (Receiver) Wiring

Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs +5V DC to power the included IR receiver.

IMPORTANT! IR TX Connection Guidelines

• 3rd party IR receivers may require a different voltage, refer to the documentation provided with the IR receiver before making any connections to avoid damaging the device.
• When connecting to an IR control system use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK cable. This cable compensates for differences between the WyreStorm RX and the control systems TX connection. Visit the CAB-IR-LINK product page for details.

RS-232 Wiring

RS-232 Connection Guidelines

Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for pin functionality to ensure that the correct connections can be made.

Pin 1: TX (Transmit)

Pin 2: RX (Receive)

Pin 3: Ground (GND)

Wire colors shown follow EIA-561 standard.

Connecting to a PC or Control System

Connection to a PC requires the use of the included USB to 3-pin Port Adapter cable in order for a port to be provided on the PC.

Audio Wiring

The audio outputs on the receiver can be used to output de-embedded audio from the source to an external amplifier in the remote location.

Setup and Configuration

Note: All commands in this section are case sensitive and must be sent as defined.

Sending Commands at Start of Session

In order to send the commands listed below to an RX-70-4K-SCL the receiver must first be put into a state to receive the commands. This is due to the port for control also having functions for updating the receiver. This command only needs to be sent once at the start of communication as it will set the receiver into a state where it can receive scaler commands. Note that the receiver needs to remain in this state to be controlled via a control system.

1. Connect the receiver to a matrix that is connected to a network.
2. Connect the receiver to a PC via the RS-232 connection. See RS-232 Wiring.
3. Open a terminal program and configure the following com port settings:

Baud Rate - 115200

Data Bits - 8 bits

Parity - None

Stop Bits - 1 bit

Flow Control - None

1. Open the COM port and Send the Open Scaler Connection command CONNECT SCA.
2. Once the message CONNECT SCA is received the commands for configuration and control can be sent.

Assigning a Static IP Address

While the receiver is provided with an IP address via DHCP when connected to a network or a matrix via HDBaseT, the address is not available to IP scanners. For this reason WyreStorm recommends setting a static IP address that will never change so that it can be configured once it is installed.

1. Perform the steps under Sending Commands at Start of Session
2. SET IPADDRESS STATIC ip4addr [IP Address] netmask [Netmask]

Replace [IP address] with the desired IP address and [Netmask] with the netmask for the network.

Example:

SET IPADDRESS STATIC ip4addr 192.168.2.128 netmask 255.255.255.0

Once a static IP address is configured the configuration commands can be sent to the receiver via IP. Be sure to record the IP address and location of the receiver so that it can be configured once it is installed.

EDID and Video Scaling Configuration

Configuration of EDID and scaling is performed via API sent to the receiver via IP or RS-232. Commands can be sent using Telnet applications such as Hercules or Putty via IP or RS-232 through the matrix. Before sending the below commands perform the steps under Sending Commands at Start of Session.

Note: While only the Video Configuration commands are shown here other commands exist to control the Audio and Video of the receiver. Refer to the RX-70-4K-SCL API located on the website for more information.
