SW-0501-HDBT HDBaseT Presentation Switcher/Scaler Installation Guide | 160211-1512
2. 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 and VGA Wiring
WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated VGA and
HDMI cables due to the complexity of these connector
types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these
connections are accurate and will not interfere with the
performance of the product.
Microphone Wiring
The Mic In uses a 3-pin phoenix connector (supplied).
Audio In Wiring
The switcher contains an Audio In that is used to sync
audio with video from the VGA input. This connection uses
a 3-pin phoenix connector (supplied).
Audio Out Wiring
The switcher contains an Audio Out that can be used to
distribute the audio throughout the room by connecting to
an audio pre-amplifier or powered speaker. This
connection uses a 3-pin phoenix connector (supplied).
Note:
The Audio Out is disabled by default and the output level
can be adjusted to suit the environment.
Refer to Enabling / Disabling the Audio Output on how to
enable and Adjusting the Audio Output Level to set the
output level.
Local Area Network (LAN) Wiring
LAN wiring follows the EIA T568B standard.
HDBaseT Wiring
HDBaseT wiring follows the EIA T568B standard.
IMPORTANT! HDBaseT Wiring Guidelines
The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders,
kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental
interference can have an adverse effect on HDBaseT
transmission limiting performance. Steps should be
taken to minimize these factors (or remove completely)
during installation for best results.
While similar in nature, the HDBaseT protocol is
different than Ethernet and voltages provided for PoH
can be higher than those provided by PoE. For this
reason, never connect an HDBaseT link to an Ethernet
router or switch to avoid damaging the connected
devices.
