HDBaseT Scaler with HDMI and Analog Audio Outputs

HDBaseT Scaler with HDMI and

Analog Audio Outputs

Atlona HDVS receiver was designed to smooth the transition from analog to digital displays in

schools and businesses, allowing advanced HDMI display devices to be used with the many VGA

computers still in use. Many displays don’t support the resolutions and refresh rates typical of VGA

sources. In addition, the HDVS-150-RX is compatible with Atlona PoE switchers with HDBaseT

outputs and is a good solution when scaling is required for a specific display.

When used with a matching HDVS-150-TX or HDVS-150-TX-WP, projector control is enabled.

HDBaseT and Power over Ethernet (PoE) allow signal and power over a single category cable, with

RS-232 control capability.

Mounting bracket x 2

The HDVS-150-RX comes with mounting brackets that can be used to affix the unit to a table,

desk, etc.

To affix the mounting brackets to the unit, use the four included screws. The bracket can be

affixed with the oval holes pointing to the bottom (for against the wall - picture A) or the oval holes

facing the top (for under tables - picture B).

Larger oval

hole will be

attached to

the wall/table.

Circular holes

will always be

attached to the

unit.

The captive screw connectors allow you to cut cables to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter

while providing a more reliable connection.

Captive Screw

Connecting

The captive screw connectors have

a contact bar that is adjusted to

compress the wire against the top

contact plate. Use the screws at the

top of the connector to compress

the wire against the contact plate.

When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be

terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector has a contact plate at the top and must

have the wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly (see picture A) the signal will pass,

incorrectly (see picture B) no signal will pass.

Turn the screws clockwise to

raise the contact bar to the

upper contact plate and hold

the wires in place.

Turn the screws counter

clockwise to lower the

contact bar to release the

wires.

Tip (+)

Analog Audio

A captive screw analog audio connector is provided to ensure a more reliable and secure

connection. The captive screw connector supports balanced and unbalanced audio output.

Balanced audio connections use two signal wires and a ground to minimize interference to audio

signals. Unbalanced audio connections use one signal wire and a ground and are used if other

system components don’t support balanced signals.

Important! With unbalanced connections a jumper is needed between ground and negative to reduce noise

Note: Pin outs may vary, please refer to the audio device’s manual to ensure a correct connection.

Important! When terminating cables, please ensure exposed adjacent wires do not touch. This may result in a short

that can damage connected devices.

Set up and Control Software

RS-232 is often connected through a DB 9-pin to captive screw

connector. The pins have specific signals associated with them,

some are unassigned.

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

for ground. On some devices, the functions of pins 2 and 3 are

reversed.
