HDA-I/O
Owner’s Manual
Overview
URC’s HDA-I/O Stream Receiver/Injector creates or receives HDA audio streams
over the network. This device must be congured by a certified URC integrator to
function as either a Stream Injector or Stream Receiver.
As a Stream Injector, this device distributes any connected audio source (digital or
analog) over the network to any available HDA controlled zone.
As a Stream Receiver, the HDA-I/O connects to your favorite 3rd party audio device
and provides it with access to all HDA audio streams on the network.
HDA products are NOT compatible with URC’s legacy Total Control ampliers (DMS).
Features & Benefits:
• Stream Receiver or Stream Injector Capabilities: Congured via URC
software, the HDA-I/O can receive or transmit HDA audio streams over the
local network.
• HDA Audio Streams: As a Stream Injector, this device distributes any
connected audio source to any available HDA controlled audio zone.
• Source Sharing: Any zone controlled via an HDA amplier or I/O device has
access to the system’s HDA Audio Streams.
• Flexible Zone Linking: When connected to a 3rd party audio device as a
Stream Receiver, the HDA-I/O can link that 3rd party zone with any other HDA
controlled zone.
• Integrated Audio Sensor: Each available input on the HDA-I/O has built-
in audio sensing capabilities. These sensors can be used to trigger
programmed events or activities.
• Zone Input Ducking: The HDA-I/O has the ability to “fade in” an audio
input over the currently selected audio input. The perfect solution to briey
lower the volume on the current source to make an audio announcement or
doorbell chime.
• Power Configuration Options: The HDA-I/O can be powered via PoE or
the supplied 12VDC adapter.

Network Setup
When using more than one (1) HDA devices, URC’s HDA-SW5 Network Switch is
REQUIRED on the local network.
For more information of the HDA-SW5 Network Switch, please refer to the
HDA-SW5 Owner’s Manual.
Although 3
rd
Party AVB switches may be utilized, they are not supported by
URC’s Technical Support team.
Connecting the HDA-I/O to the Network
1. Connect an ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the head-end
network switch.
If no switch is connected to the network then connect the ethernet cable to
an available LAN port on the local router (Luxul preferred).
2. Connect the ethernet cable from the previous step to any available LAN port
on the HDA-SW5.
3. Connect another ethernet cable to an available LAN port on the
HDA-SW5 Network Switch.
4. Connect the ethernet cable from the previous step to the ethernet port
found at the rear of the HDA-IO (page 5).
5. Configure the HDA-IO to a DHCP/MAC reservation within the local router
and program the device into the new or existing Total Control system.
A certified URC integrator is REQUIRED to integrate the HDA-IO into a
new or existing Total Control system.
