*Consumer Electronics Control (CEC): Atlona has confirmed proper CEC functionality with several current models of Samsung, Panasonic, and Sony displays. However, it is not guaranteed that CEC will work with all displays. Many manufacturers do not support the CEC "off" command, and older displays use proprietary commands. Atlona only supports displays that use the CEC command structure defined in HDMI 1.2a. It is recommended that dealers request an evaluation product from Atlona, before designing a system using the CEC protocol. If this is not possible, then other control methods will need to be considered, in order to control displays using Atlona products.

RS-232 Control

The AT-UHD-CAT-4ED provides two methods of RS-232 control: Pass-through mode and control mode. The master RS-232 / IR port, allows the unit to be directly controlled using a control system. In addition four pass-through RS-232 / IR ports allow sink devices, at the viewing location, to be controlled using a control system.

RS-232 is serial data protocol that allows Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) devices, such a computer or control system, to communicate with Data Communication Equipment (DCE) devices, such as the AT-UHD-CAT-4ED or a display. Although IP control is available, RS-232 still plays an integral part of many control systems.

The 25-pin D-type connector (DB-25) was defined as the RS-232 standard, but is now commonly implemented in a nine-pin (DE-9) connector package. Each pin is numbered, as shown below.

DE-9 (male) DE-9 (female)

4 DSR	Data Set Ready
5 GND	Ground (Signal)
6 DTR	Data Terminal Ready
7 CTS	Clear to Send
8 RTS	Ready to Send
9 RI	Ring Indicator

Determining the Port Type

Most DTE devices provide a male connector, while DCE devices have a female connector. However, this is not always the case. If the port type is unknown, then a multimeter can be used to determine whether the port is DTE or DCE:

1. Turn on the multimeter and set it to measure DC voltage.
2. Connect the positive and negative leads to pins 3 and 5, respectively.
3. Check the voltage reading:

If the voltage is between -3 V DC and -15 V DC, then the device is DTE. Otherwise, it is DCE.

Voltage levels between -3 V and -15 V DC represent a logic "1". Voltage levels between +3 V and +15 V DC represent a logic "0".

Device Operation

Cable Assembly

When connecting a DTE device to a DCE device, a straight-through cable should be used. A straight-through cable is wired in such a way that the pins on one side of the cable are connected to the corresponding pins on the opposite side of the cable, as shown in the table below. However, the AT-UHD-CAT-4ED will use only TxD, RxD, and GND signals when communicating with a control system or computer.

Straight-Through Cable

Pin	Signal		Signal	Pin
1	DCD		DCD	1
2	RxD		TxD	2
3	TxD		RxD	3
4	DTR		DSR	4
5	GND		GND	5
6	DSR		DTR	6
7	RTS		CTS	7
8	CTS		RTS	8
9	RI		RI	9

1. Identify the DE-9 connector that will be attached to the control system or computer (DCE) equipment.
2. Remove the DE-9 connector at the opposite end of the cable with wire cutters.
3. Remove at least 1" of the cable insulation to expose each of the nine wires.
4. Locate a multimeter and set it to the "continuity" function.
5. Attach one of the leads from the multimeter to pin 2 on the DE-9 connector.
6. Take the other lead and probe each of the wires on the opposite end of the cable. When the wire connected to that pin is detected, the multimeter will emit an audible tone. Once this occurs, identify the current wire, and move it to the side.
7. Repeat step 6 for pin 3 and pin 5 on the DE-9 connector.
8. Group the remaining wires and pull them aside. Electrical tape can be use to secure the wires to the outside of the RS-232 cable.
9. Remove at least 3/16" (5 mm) of insulation from the TxD, RxD, and GND wires.

1. Locate the included 5-pin captive screw block and open each of the terminals by turning the screws counter-clockwise, using a small regular screwdriver.
2. Insert the TxD, RxD, and GND wires into correct terminal, as shown, and tighten the screws to secure each wire. Do not overtighten.

Device Operation

Pass-through mode

In pass-through mode, RS-232 commands are passed-through the AT-UHD-CAT-4ED, transmitted over HDBaseT to a receiver unit, and then to the display (sink) device. Note that each RS-232 / IR port is assigned to an HDBaseT OUT port. This assignment is fixed and cannot be changed, as shown in the table below.

RS-232 / IR Port HDBaseT Port RS-232 / IR Port HDBaseT Port
RS-232 / IR 1	→	HDBaseT OUT 1	RS-232 / IR 3	→	HDBaseT OUT 3
RS-232 / IR 2	→	HDBaseT OUT 2	RS-232 / IR 4	→	HDBaseT OUT 4

1. Connect the RS-232 cable from the control system to the desired RS-232 / IR port on the AT-UHD-CAT-4ED. Refer to Cable Assembly (page 20) for instructions on preparing the cable.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the desired HDBaseT OUT port to a receiver. In this example, the HDBaseT cable is connected from HDBaseT OUT 2 to an AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX receiver (the RS-232 cable is connected from the control system to the RS-232 / IR 2 port).
3. Connect an RS-232 cable between the display (sink) and the receiver.
4. Adjust the RS-232 settings on the control system to match the requirements of the sink device. For example, if the RS-232 settings for the display device are 9600, N, 8, 1, then set the control system to the same settings. If the control system and sink device settings do not match, then RS-232 control will not function.
