The PUV-1210PL-TX & RX is an HDBaseT™ LITE Transmitter and Receiver set designed to extend uncompressed audio/video and IP data over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable. This system allows for signal transmission up to 60 meters, making it suitable for various installation environments where longer cable runs are required without compromising signal quality. A key feature of this set is its integrated control capabilities, provided through built-in RS-232 and IR ports, which enhance its versatility in managing connected devices.

One of the significant advantages of the PUV-1210PL-TX & RX is its Power over HDBaseT (PoH) functionality. The Receiver (PD) unit can be powered directly by the PoE 48V function of the Transmitter (PSE), which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the receiver end. This feature offers greater flexibility in placement and reduces cable clutter, especially in installations where power outlets might be scarce or inconveniently located.

The device supports a wide range of applications, including household entertainment sharing and control, lecture room display and control, showroom display and control, meeting room presentation and control, and classroom display and control. Its ability to handle 4K, HDCP2.2, HDMI2.0, and PoH makes it a robust solution for modern AV setups.

Function Description:

The PUV-1210PL-TX & RX system operates as an HDMI extender over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable. The Transmitter (TX) unit takes an HDMI input signal from a source device, along with IR and RS-232 control signals, and converts them for transmission over the CAT cable. The Receiver (RX) unit then receives these signals, converts them back to HDMI, IR, and RS-232, and outputs them to a display and controlled devices.

The core function is to extend HDMI signals, including video and audio, without compression. This ensures that the quality of the original signal is maintained across longer distances than traditional HDMI cables can support. The inclusion of IR and RS-232 pass-through allows for remote control of source equipment from the display location and vice-versa, as well as integration with control systems for automated operation.

The PoH feature is integral to the system's functionality, with the Transmitter acting as the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and the Receiver as the Powered Device (PD). This means the Transmitter supplies power to the Receiver over the same CAT cable that carries the AV and control signals, streamlining the power infrastructure.

Usage Features:

The PUV-1210PL-TX & RX is designed for ease of use and integration into various AV systems.

Connectivity:
- Transmitter (TX) Front Panel:
  - DC 48V: This port is for connecting the included 48V DC power supply to power the Transmitter unit.
  - IR1 BLASTER: Connects to the supplied IR Blaster cable. The IR Blaster should be placed in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled, allowing the Transmitter to send IR signals to the source device.
  - IR2 EXTENDER: Connects to the supplied IR Extender cable. The IR Extender should be placed where the remote control will be used, enabling the Transmitter to receive IR signals from the remote.
  - CAT5e/6/7 OUT: This is the primary output for the extended signals. It connects to the Receiver unit via a single CAT5e/6/7 cable.
  - HDMI IN: Connects to the HDMI source equipment, such as a DVD player, Blu-ray player, or gaming console.
- Transmitter (TX) Rear Panel:
  - STD/UPDATE Switch: This switch is reserved for factory use only and should not be adjusted by the user.
  - RS-232 IN: Connects to a PC or laptop using a D-Sub 9-pin male cable for transmitting RS-232 commands to control the system or connected devices.
  - POWER LED: Illuminates when the Transmitter is connected to a power supply, indicating power status.
  - LINK LED: Illuminates when both the Transmitter and Receiver are connected via the CAT cable. A regular blink indicates that the Transmitter is not sending a signal but the units are linked. An irregular blink signifies an error.
- Receiver (RX) Front Panel:
  - IR2 BLASTER: Connects to the supplied IR Blaster cable. This Blaster should be placed in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled at the display end, allowing the Receiver to send IR signals.
  - IR1 EXTENDER: Connects to the supplied IR Extender cable. This Extender should be placed where the remote control will be used, enabling the Receiver to receive IR signals.
  - CAT5e/6/7 IN: This is the primary input for the extended signals, connecting to the Transmitter unit via a single CAT5e/6/7 cable.
  - HDMI OUT: Connects to an HDMI-equipped TV or monitor for displaying the input source signal.
- Receiver (RX) Rear Panel:
  - STD/UPDATE Switch: Reserved for factory use only.
  - RS-232 OUT: Connects to the device to be controlled (e.g., a display or switcher) using a D-Sub 9-pin female cable for receiving RS-232 commands.
  - POWER LED: Illuminates when the Receiver is connected to a power supply (or receiving PoH from the Transmitter), indicating power status.
  - LINK LED: Illuminates when both the Transmitter and Receiver are connected via the CAT cable. A regular blink indicates that the Receiver is not sending a signal but the units are linked. An irregular blink signifies an error.
Control Features:
- IR Pass-through: Allows for bi-directional IR signal transmission, enabling control of the source device from the display location and vice-versa. This is achieved using the IR Blaster and Extender cables.
- RS-232 Pass-through: Facilitates serial communication for controlling devices or integrating with larger control systems. This is useful for sending commands to a display, switcher, or other RS-232 controllable equipment.
- CEC Bypass: Supports Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) pass-through, allowing compatible devices to communicate and control each other over the HDMI connection.
- 4Play™ Convergence: This system combines HDMI, PoE, and Control (IR & RS-232) over a single CAT cable, simplifying cabling and installation.
Installation Friendly: The design emphasizes ease of installation. The PoH feature significantly reduces wiring complexity by eliminating the need for a power adapter at the Receiver end. The compact form factor of both units allows for discreet placement. The system supports HDMI input/output cable distances of up to 5m at 4K2K@50/60 & YUV_420, providing flexibility for local connections.

Maintenance Features:

The PUV-1210PL-TX & RX is designed for reliable operation with minimal user maintenance.

Safety Precautions: The manual outlines essential safety precautions to ensure longevity and safe operation. These include:
- Always following basic safety precautions to prevent fire, electrical shock, and injury.
- Avoiding exposure to rain or moisture and not installing near water.
- Never spilling liquid on or into the product.
- Not pushing objects into any openings or empty slots to prevent internal damage.
- Not attaching power supply cabling to building surfaces.
