Two-Output HDMI to HDBaseT™ Distribution Amplier

AT-UHD-CAT-2

The Atlona AT-UHD-CAT-2 is a 4K/UHD HDMI to HDBaseT distribution amplier featuring pass-

through HDMI input connections, two HDBaseT outputs, and display control capability. Each

output transmits AV and control signals up to 230 ft. (70 m) @ 1080p and 130 ft. (40 m) @ 4K/

UHD. Features include 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:2:0 color subsampling, HDCP 2.2 compliance,

EDID management, and PoE for powering remote receivers. A wide variety of consumer

displays may be controlled by the UHD-CAT-2 using CEC. Designed for commercial distribution

applications, the UHD-CAT-2 is control system-friendly and integrates with any TCP/IP, RS-232,

or IR control system and features a 1U, half-rack width enclosure with external, international

power supply. The UHD-CAT-2 is ideal for use with the AT-UHD-EX-70C-RX HDBaseT receiver,

AT-HDVS-200-RX HDBaseT receiver and HD scaler, or AT-HDVS-SC-RX HDBaseT receiver and

4K/UHD scaler.

Installation Guide

AT-UHD-CAT-2

The AT-UHD-CAT-2 provides three RS-232 ports. The RS-232/IR MASTER port is used to

control the AT-UHD-CAT-2 using a control system or other DTE equipment. RS-232/IR 1 and

RS-232/IR 2 ports are used in conjunction with the HDBaseT OUT 1 and HDBaseT OUT 2

ports. RS-232 data is passed through over the the respective HDBaseT OUT port (zone) to a

sink device connected to a PoE-compatible the receiver. This step is optional.

1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket.

2. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires.

3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using one of the included 5-pin

captive screw connectors.

4. Tighten the captive screws to secure the wires in place. Do not over-tighten or use high-

torque devices to prevent damage to the connector block.

NOTE: Typical DB9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for

ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed.

Installation Guide

AT-UHD-CAT-2

1. Connect an HDMI cable from a UHD/HD source to the HDMI IN port.

2. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT port to a display (sink) device.

3. Connect up to two Ethernet cables from the HDBaseT OUT ports to compatible PoE-

capable receivers.

4. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port to the Local Area Network (LAN). This step

will be required in order to access the built-in web server.

5. Connect the included power supply to the DC 48V connector and connect the power cord

to an available electrical outlet.

Installation

Optional

6. Connect an RS-232 or IR cable from the control system or other DTE device to the RS-232/

IR ports:

• MASTER RS-232/IR

Connecting to this port will provide direct control of the AT-UHD-CAT-2. Control can

be performed using either RS-232 or electrical IR.

• RS-232/IR 1 or RS-232/IR 2

Each of these ports is associated to the respective HDBaseT OUT port. This allows

RS-232 pass-through zone control of a display (sink) device that is connected to a

PoE-compatible receiver. Control can be performed using RS-232 or electrical IR.

By default, the AT-UHD-CAT-2 is set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to as-

sign the unit an IP address. If a DHCP server is not found within 15 seconds, then the unit will be

placed in Auto IP mode and use a self-assigned IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx.

If DHCP or Auto IP mode are not desired, the unit can be placed into static IP mode by using the

POWER button on the front panel.

IP Conguration

Press and hold the POWER button for approximately 15 seconds. Once the LOCK LED indicator

begins to ash, release the POWER button. The number of ashes will indicate the currently

selected IP mode:

LED ashes Description
