HDMI and HDBaseT connection |
Version V1.62 |
Select the desired ports of Cynap to connect the available signal sources and display devices. The respective settings will be found in the settings screen of Cynap.
Cynap provides two HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, additionally it provides up to one HDBaseT input and one HDBaseT output optionally.
HDBaseT of Cynap is supporting HDMI-signal transfer inclusive audio and network functionality. Power over HDBaseT (PoH) is not supported.
At HDBaseT capable Cynaps, the corresponding HDMI sockets are covered with a plastic cap. Remove the cap before the HDMI socket can be used.
For full functionality, the connected devices need to meet at least HDMI version 1.3 and/or HDBaseT version 1.4.
Please note:
By default, the resolution will be set automatically. The resolution can also be set manually up to 4K UHD in the menu.
For long HDMI cable runs, use optional HDBaseT instead. Alternative use optical cables or HDMI repeaters.
HDBaseT is optional. The module needs to be installed at factory and cannot be equipped on site.
HDBaseT requires at least Cat5e cables with RJ45 connectors to ensure full performance, Cat6 or higher recommended.
HDBaseT supports cable runs up to max. 70m.
HDBaseT is not compatible with a common Ethernet network, the infrastructure has to be HDBaseT capable.
HDBaseT IN (can only be used when HDMI IN 2 is not in use)
HDBaseT OUT (can only be used when the port HDMI OUT 1 is not in use)
Units which are not supporting HDBaseT can be equipped with an HDBaseT transmitter or HDBaseT receiver.
Allowed input signal format:
refresh rate of 23 to 75Hz
horizontal scanning frequency of 12 to 75kHz
TMDS clock frequency up to 300MHz
resolution of 640x300 up to 3840x2160 pixels
progressive scan
Hotplug signal is required.
When using a Visualizer as source, connect the Ethernet cable for full functionality and set the HDMI-type to "Visualizer".
Connect the desired HDMI source(s) like Visualizer, DVD-player, Blu-ray-player, computer, etc. to the HDMI IN ports.
When using a WolfVision Visualizer, connect it to the desired HDMI input (#C9, #C10) (set the type to "Visualizer") and the LAN port (#C2) to ensure full functionality.
The respective settings will be found in the settings screen of Cynap “Output Settings.
The inputs can be named individually, e.g. “Visualizer”, “Blu-ray player” or “DVI-player”, etc. in settings screen of Cynap at "Input Settings".
Both inputs are named by default "HDMI" with selected type "HDMI".
Select type of connected device to get maximum performance.
Connect the desired HDBaseT source to HDBaseT IN by using a Cat cable. When the desired signal source would be not HDBaseT capable, use an HDBaseT transmitter.
When using a WolfVision Visualizer, patch the Visualizer network port (#C2) to the network port of HDBaseT IN (#C13) to ensure full functionality (set type of HDMI In 2 to "Visualizer"). When using other units which need to be accessible through Ethernet, patch the network port of HDBaseT IN (#13) to your network infrastructure.
An additional HDMI source like DVD-player, Blu-ray-player, computer, etc. can be connected to HDMI IN 1 (#C10).
The inputs can be named individually, e.g. “Visualizer”, “Blu-ray player” or “DVI-player”, etc. in settings screen of Cynap at "Input Settings".
Both inputs are named by default "HDMI" with selected type "HDMI".
Select type of connected device to get maximum performance.
Connect the desired HDMI display devices like monitor or projector HDMI OUT ports.
HDMI OUT 1 is the main output.
The behavior of the outputs can be changed:
Resolution of HDMI OUT 1
Auto enables automatic detection of connected display device. The resolution can be also set manually.
HDMI OUT 2
Select "Mirror" to show the same content on both outputs or "Moderator" / "Content" to show individual content.
Connect the desired display device to HDBaseT OUT by using a Cat cable. When the connected unit needs to be accessible through Ethernet, patch the network port of HDBaseT OUT (#C15) to your network infrastructure.
HDBaseT and HDMI OUT 1 are the main outputs.
The behavior of the outputs can be changed:
Resolution of HDBaseT OUT (HDMI OUT 1)
Auto enables automatic detection of connected display device. The resolution can be also set manually.
The displayed content of HDMI OUT 1 and HDMI OUT 2 can be swapped. This way the HDBaseT output can be used flexibly.
HDMI OUT 2
Select "Mirror" to show the same content on both outputs or "Content" / "Moderator" to show individual content.
