Frequently Asked Questions - HBT-30 DataVideo

What is the maximum transmission distance for 4K video?

The HBT-30 supports 4K60 transmission up to 100 meters using a CAT 6A Ethernet cable.

How can I tell if the signal is being transmitted correctly?

Check the HDBaseT Link LED indicators on the front panel. If lit, the connection is active; if not, verify cable connections.

Can I use RS-232 or RS-422 control protocol?

Yes, each channel has a DIP switch to select between RS-232 (00) and RS-422 (01).

What type of HDMI cable is recommended?

For 4K60 4:4:4 resolution, use an HDMI cable up to 5 meters. For 4K60 4:2:0, up to 10 meters.

How much PoE power can the HBT-30 provide per channel?

Each of the three HDBaseT channels can deliver up to 65W of PoE power to connected cameras.

What is the default control protocol?

The default is RS-232. To switch to RS-422, set the DIP switches to 01.

What should I do if the power LED does not light up?

Ensure the 56V DC adapter is properly connected and the power switch is turned on. If the issue persists, contact support.

Can I use the HBT-30 with non-Datavideo switchers?

Yes, but you may need an external RS-422/RS-232 controller (e.g., RMC-300A) and appropriate cabling.

What video formats are supported?

Supports 4K60, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, and standard-definition formats like NTSC and PAL.

How do I set the DIP switch for RS-232/422?

Locate the DIP switch next to the RS-232/422 interface. Set to 00 for RS-232, 01 for RS-422.

	HDBaseT IN Video and Audio Input (CH1/CH2/CH3)This is the HDBaseT IN video/audio input interface. There are three HDBaseT IN video/audio input ports to allow you to input the video and audio signals by using RJ-45 Ethernet cables. Each channel allows you to power the connected camera for up to 65W per channel.
	HDMI OUT Video and Audio Output (CH1/CH2/CH3)This is the HDMI OUT output interface to transfer up to 4K HDMI video/audio signal to its connected video switcher. There are three HDMI 2.0 Type A video/audio output interfaces.
	RS-422/RS-232 Interface(CH1/CH2/CH3)This is the RS-422/RS-232 interface to allow you to connect the HBT-30 to the RS-232/RS-422 REMOTE interface which is located on the rear panel of the Datavideo ShowCast 100 4K ShowCast Studio for controlling the cameras which are connected to the HBT-30 remotely.You can also connect other video switchers to the HBT-30. However, if the video switcher which is connected is not the ShowCast 100, you have to connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from this RS-422/RS-232 interface to another camera controller which the RS-422/RS-232 protocol is supported.There is a DIP Switch which is located next to the RS-232/RS-422 interface for you to determine whether you want to use RS-232 or RS-422 protocol for remote controlling.The settings of the DIP Switch are as follows.01: RS-42200: RS-232
DVIP	DVIP InterfaceThis is the DVIP interface for you to connect the HBT-30 to your Wi-Fi router by using the RJ-45 Ethernet cable. After that, you can connect a switcher with the DVIP interface such as the ShowCast 100 4K ShowCast Studio to the same Wi-Fi router. After that, you can use the DVIP protocol to control the HDBaseT cameras which are connected to the HBT-30 remotely.

Note: For the above-mentioned procedures, the ShowCast 100 can be replaced by other Datavideo 4K-supported switchers no matter the RS-422 or DVIP protocol is used for the connection. What you need to know is that once the ShowCast 100 is replaced by any other switcher. Except for connecting the original HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT interface of the HBT-30 to the HDMI IN interface of your switcher, you also need to connect the RS-422 Ethernet cables from the CH1/CH2/CH3 RS-232/RS-422 interfaces on the rear panel of the HBT-30 to the control interfaces of another RS-422 supported controller such as Datavideo RMC-300A. When using the DVIP protocol for controlling, if the ShowCast 100 is not used, you need to connect an Ethernet cable from the DVIP interface of an external controller such as the Datavideo RMC-300A to the RJ-45 LAN interface of your Wi-Fi router.

5. RS-232/RS-422 Pinout

You can use RS-232 or RS-422 control protocol to connect the Datavideo ShowCast 100 4K ShowCast Studio to the HBT-30 3-Channel HDBaseT Receiver to control the PTC-280T camera. You will need to use a custom Ethernet cable to connect between the ShowCast 100 4K ShowCast Studio and HBT-30. Wire the connection cable according to the respective RS-232 and RS-422 wiring diagrams shown below.
