Figure 5: Connecting EXT3-C-XR-T to EXT3-POE-XR-R

In the example in Figure 5, the connected USB devices, such as the mic or soundbar, are hosted via the transmitter's USB-C port ②. In this configuration, the receiver's host USB-B port ⑱ is inactive.
You can reverse the configuration and set the receiver's USB-B port as the active USB host, using the DIP-switches (see Setting the DIP-Switches on page 14).
To connect EXT3-C-XR-T to EXT3-POE-XR-R as illustrated in the example in Figure 5:
- Use the DIP-switches (16 and 33) to define one device as the active USB host (see Setting the DIP-Switches on page 14).

Either the transmitter or the receiver (but not both) must be defined as the active USB host (see Setting the DIP-Switches on page 14).
- Connect the HDBT OUT port ⑨ on the EXT3-C-XR-T transmitter side to the HDBT IN port ⑳ on the EXT3-POE-XR-R receiver side.
-
On the EXT3-C-XR-T transmitter side:
-
Connect a USB-C source (for example, a laptop that supports Display Port Alternate Mode) to the USB-C IN connector ②.
-
Connect an HDMI LOOP connector ⑩ to an HDMI acceptor.
-
On the EXT3-POE-XR-R receiver side, connect the HDMI OUT connector ② to an HDMI acceptor (for example, a smart TV).
-
Connect the USB DEVICE ports:
-
On the transmitter side, ports ⑪ and ⑫ to USB devices (for example, the room microphone, mouse, and keyboard).
- On the receiver side, ports ⑳ to ⑲, to USB devices (for example, a smart board, soundbar and camera).

USB devices can be connected to both the transmitter and receiver sides, as necessary.
-
To control the smart TV via IR, connect the following:
-
On the EXT3-C-XR-T transmitter side, connect an IR sensor cable to the IR 3.5mm mini jack 13
- On the EXT3-POE-XR-R receiver side, connect the IR 3.5mm mini jack ③0 to an IR emitter cable and attach the cable emitter side to the IR sensor of the smart TV.
Point the smart TV IR remote controller to the IR sensor to pass an IR command via HDBT to the smart TV.
-
To Control the smart TV via Ethernet, connect the following:
-
On the EXT3-C-XR-T transmitter side, connect a room controller (for example, the Kramer SL-240C with Kramer Control) via LAN to the Ethernet RJ-45 port ⑮.
- On the EXT3-POE-XR-R receiver side, connect the Ethernet RJ-45 port ③2 to the smart TV.
Send IP commands via the room controller to the smart TV via LAN.
-
To control the PTZ camera, connect the following:
-
On EXT3-C-XR-T transmitter side connect a controller (for example, SL-240C room controller) to the RS-232 port ⑭ (and to the ETHERNET RJ-45 port ⑮).
- On EXT3-POE-XR-R receiver side connect the RS-232 port ③1 to a PTZ camera.
Send serial commands from SL-240C to the camera via RS-232.
- Connect the power adapter to EXT3-C-XR-T and to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 5).

To charge the device that is connected to the USB-C port, you need to use a power adapter for powering the EXT3-C-XR-T transmitter.
- Connect the power adapter to EXT3-POE-XR-R and to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 5).
EXT3-C-XR-T and EXT3-POE-XR-R are connected.
Connecting EXT3-C-XR-T or EXT3-POE-XR-R to Other HDBaseT-compatible Devices
You can connect EXT3-C-XR-T and EXT3-POE-XR-R to other HDBaseT-compatible devices that support HDBaseT 3.0 release or lower.
When EXT3-C-XR-T or EXT3-POE-XR-R are paired each to devices with a HDBaseT 3.0 release or lower, the features of the lower release device apply.
For example, you can connect:
• EXT3-C-XR-T to the Kramer TP-590R receiver.
• The Kramer TP-590T transmitter to EXT3-POE-XR-R.
For these paired sets:
- The maximum resolution that is supported is that of the highest common resolution. The TP-590R and TP-590T maximum resolution is 4K60 4:2:0 only, therefore the paired TP-590R and TP-590T define the maximum supported resolution.
- A shorter reach and USB extension are supported by each pair, therefore available per TP-590R and TP-590T capabilities.
- PoE powering and Ethernet are not supported by TP-590R and TP-590T so when paired with EXT3-C-XR-T and EXT3-POE-XR-R, respectively, are not available.
Connecting to EXT3-C-XR-T or EXT3-POE-XR-R via RS-232
You can connect via an RS-232 connection ⑭ or ③ using, for example, a PC.
EXT3-C-XR-T and EXT3-POE-XR-R feature an RS-232 3-pin terminal block connector to extend RS-232 signals via the EXT3-C-XR-T transmitter or EXT3-POE-XR-R receiver.
Connect the RS-232 terminal block on the rear panel to a device, as follows:
From the RS-232 9-pin D-sub serial port connect:
• Pin 2 to the TX pin on the RS-232 terminal block
• Pin 3 to the RX pin on the RS-232 terminal block
• Pin 5 to the G pin on the RS-232 terminal block

Display Power On/Off Control
EXT3-C-XR-T communicates with the remote HDMI display that is connected to the HDBaseT receiver, via the pass-through CEC channel.
Use the DISPLAY ON button ① on the EXT3-C-XR-T to turn on or off the power of the display that is connected to the receiver. The DISPLAY ON button LED lights blue when display on the receiver side is powered on.

EXT3-C-XR-T supports CEC functionality and has been tested and verified with a large number of display models. However, Kramer cannot guarantee CEC compatibility with all CEC displays due to command variations and proprietary commands implemented by some manufacturers in some of their displays.
