1. Product Introduction
The KanexPro EXT-HDBTKVM3 is a US Decora style double-gang, 2×1 HDMI wall plate transmitter and receiver set designed to switch two HDMI inputs with one USB 2.0 input to a remote display or a projector up to 131ft.(40m) at 4K/60 and 330ft.(100m) at 1080p/60 video and audio over single cat5e/6/7 cable. The outputs are via HDBaseT port
Easy to Control and Switch Inputs
The wall plate transmitter can be easily controlled by selecting the “Source /Auto” button on the front panel. By holding the button for 3 seconds, it will go under auto switching mode and will auto-detect HDMI inputs when connected. It also supports CEC, which can turn the DISPLAY ON/OFF right from the button on front panel for the far-end display device, and it can be programmed by IR learning or RS232 command to ensure the compatibility with various display devices.Receiver Inclusive with two USB 2.0 ports and KVM support
The EXT-HDBTKVM3 includes the end point for connecting it over ethernet to the receiver, which then connects to the 4K display. The receiver has multiport USB 2.0 which can be used as a KVM or for VTC applications.PoH A Safe and Regulated Power for Sustainability
The output from the wall plate is via HDBaseT port. The receiver powers the wall plate remotely. Power over HDBaseT (PoH) offers voltage protection when sent over ethernet without burning the other side of devices or receivers. Our wall plate kit comes with only one power supply, which means that, it can be powered from the receiver side saving installers time and added cost to installing a power outlet.

- Rebooting device The transmitter can save the last configuration before losing power. If the last switching mode is auto-switching, the transmitter will automatically enter autoswitching mode once rebooted, then detect all inputs and memorize their connection status for future rebooting using. If the last selected input source is still available, the transmitter will switch to this input. Otherwise, it will switch to the first available active input source starting at HDMI IN 1.
- Exit auto-switching mode The input source would remain the same when press and hold the SOURCE SELECT button again to exit the auto mode.
