How to Install Aten HDMI and VGA/Audio HDBaseT Transmitter Wall Plate Type With PoH

To achieve a clean, reliable installation, follow these steps that align with professional AV best practices:

• Power off all connected equipment before installation. Use a standard wall box or backbox suitable for your region and secure the wall plate firmly in place to ensure a stable, flush finish.
• Connect your input sources to the appropriate connectors on the wall plate. Attach HDMI sources to the HDMI input, and connect VGA sources to the VGA input, along with the corresponding audio channel for a complete audio-visual feed.
• Run a single Cat6 or Cat6a cable from the wall plate to the HDBaseT receiver located near the display or projector. Keep the run as direct as possible, avoiding unnecessary twists or kinks that could degrade signal quality.
• At the receiver end, connect the display to the receiver’s HDMI or VGA output as required. If your setup uses PoH, verify that the receiver supports PoH and provide external power only if your configuration specifies it.
• Power on all devices and perform a test of both video and audio. If needed, adjust EDID or HDCP settings on the receiver to ensure compatibility with your specific display model and source content. Validate audio channels, color settings, and aspect ratios to guarantee an optimal viewing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is PoH and why is it useful? A: PoH stands for Power over HDBaseT. It enables power to be delivered to compatible HDBaseT receivers over the same Cat6/Cat6a cable used for video and audio, reducing the need for separate power supplies at the display end and simplifying styling and cable management in professional installations.
• Q: How far can the transmitter send signals? A: The transmitter is designed to deliver signals up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) over Cat6/Cat6a cabling, with actual distance dependent on cable quality, resolution, and environmental factors. For longer runs or higher resolutions, ensure high-quality cabling and proper terminations.
• Q: Does it support HDCP and EDID management? A: Yes. The unit provides HDCP passthrough and EDID management to maintain compatibility with a wide range of displays and content sources, helping to prevent handshake issues and ensuring stable video playback.
• Q: Is this transmitter compatible with other brands’ HDBaseT receivers? A: It is designed to work with HDBaseT receivers and devices that conform to the HDBaseT standard, including ATEN receivers and compatible third-party equipment, enabling flexible, mixed-brand deployments in corporate or educational environments.
• Q: What installation environments is this best suited for? A: Ideal for conference rooms, lecture halls, classrooms, control rooms, retail digital signage, and high-end home theater setups where a clean, single-cable solution and PoH-powered receivers simplify installations and reduce wiring complexity.
