Indicator Troubleshoo6ng LEDs on the Transmi;er:
POWER - On the front at the power supply input: (Blue). This indicates power is connected.
There are only two states for LED:
• LED Is On = Power supply is connected and funcYoning
• LED Is Off = Power supply is not connected, or no power is present. Verify the PSU is
plugged into an acYve VAC outlet.
ACTIVE (HDMI Status)- On the front at the HDMI Port: (Blue). This indicates an HDMI source is
connected. Status for the LED:
• LED Is On (Flashing) = Sync w/ HDMI source and display is correct and solid
If the BLUE HDMI STATUS (ACTIVE) LED is flashing AND THERE IS NO IMAGE DISPLAYED, verify the
following:
1. The source is funcYoning. If possible, connect directly to the display.
2. Change the resoluYon of the source device to 1080p or 4K/60Hz 4:2:0
3. Exchange HDMI cables between the Source and Transmi9er
4. Use a 2-meter or longer HDMI cable. HDMI cables oSen fail to reliably sync in shorter
lengths.
5. Contact AVPro Edge Technical Support if these suggesYons do not work
AC-EX150-BKT
Page 7
LINK - At the RJ45 (HDBaseT) Port: (Green) Indicates the AV HDBaseT link between Tx and Rx is
intact. This LED should ALWAYS remain solid. If this LED is flashing or not present, verify the
following:
1. Category cable length. The maximum distances are 100 m (330 S.) at 4K and 150 m (492
S.) at 1080p.
2. Remove any coils of cable and make sure that there is not excess cabling.
3. Bypass all patch panels and punch-down blocks.
4. Re-terminate connectors. Cable testers verify conYnuity but not signal integrity. A
conYnuity tester is insufficient to determine
if a cable will be capable of supporYng an HDBaseT signal.
5. Contact AVPro Edge Technical Support if these suggesYons do not work.

Copy EDID:
To COPY EDID from a sink device, move DIP Switches
1, 2, and 3 from OFF (down) to ON (up) at the same time while
the connected sink device is powered on. The EDID will be saved until
the process has been repeated (move 1, 2, and 3 all back to ON,
then all 3 back to OFF).
NOTE: Moving DIP 4 does not affect the COPY EDID function. You may use a coin or similar flat object to move all dip
switches simultaneously. Once copied, move DIP 4 back to the desired position if needed.
DIP Switch 4 is used to set the Downscaling
· OFF/Down/0 = Scaler Bypass/OFF
· ON/UP/1 = All 4K signals will be
downscaled to 2K

RS-232 Configura9on
RS-232 can be used to pass control signals bidirecYonally to and from RS-232-compaYble
devices. This is commonly used to route control signals in the following way:
1. Control System --> Display/Projector (i.e., Power On/Off)
2. Display/Projector --> Control System (i.e., Display Status, Volume Status etc...)
3. When ultra-long-range serial communicaYon is needed (think concerts, live events), use
the extender.
AC-EX150-BKT
Page 11
IR Configura9on
IR can be used in two ways:
1. From Rack (Using an IR sensor): Plug the IR receiver sensor into the IR IN on the AC-
EX150-BKT transmi9er to pass infrared signals generated from a device or IR Remote.
2. From Remote End: Use an IR-receiver sensor on the AC-EX150-BKT receiver (IR In Port)
to send IR
signals back to the rack and out of the TRANSMITTER IR Out Port with an emi9er.
The unit comes with 3-pin Euroblock connectors.
Pin
out configura?on is: TX=LeD, Center=Ground, RX=Right
The cable should appear like the one to the right. If using the
AC-CABLE-3.5-DB9F (Female) or AC-CABLE-3.5-DB9M (Male),
When field configuring a cable, please follow the diagram below:
