Connecting to an HDBaseT Transmitter
To send an HDMI or RS-232C signal over a long distance, you can connect the projector to an optional
HDBaseT transmitter using a 100Base-TX network cable. This is useful when you want to send a signal
to or control the projector from a remote location, such as in a hall or event site, since you can use a
network cable up to 328 feet (100 m) in length. To ensure proper data transmission, use a Category 5e
STP cable or better.
Note: Set the A/V Output setting to Always On in the Signal I/O menu to control the projector when it is
not projecting any images.
1. Turn off the projector and HDBaseT transmitter.
Note: Make sure the projector and HDBaseT transmitter are turned off when connecting or
disconnecting a network cable between the two devices.
2. Connect one end of the network cable to the HDBaseT port on the transmitter.
3. Connect the other end to the projector's HDBaseT port.
Note: See the documentation that came with the HDBaseT transmitter for instructions on connecting
it to your video device or computer.
4. Turn on the projector and HDBaseT transmitter.
Note: To enable communication from the Ethernet and serial ports on the transmitter, enable Control
Communications in the HDBaseT settings of the projector's Signal I/O menu. Turning on this setting
disables the projector's LAN and RS-232C ports. If you connected an Extron XTP transmitter or switcher
to the projector's HDBaseT port, select On as the Extron XTP setting in the projector's Signal I/O menu.
