Introduction
The UHBX-3S is an HDMI 1.4 compliant splitter with one local HDMI output
and 3 HDBaseT™ outputs for transmission to compatible receivers up to 150
meters/500 ft away (max distance is a function of receiver type).
The Splitter supports HDCP, 3D, Deep Color, CEC, and 4Kx2K resolution.
EDID management is integrated into the unit with "Pass-thru", "Learn", and
"Emulate" features. Advanced users can use the USB port to download, edit, and
upload EDID data to and from the device. The unit provides an RS-232 port that
can be used to individually address and send control commands to the remote
displays (requires receivers with RS-232 such as UHBX-R-PD). The UHBX-3S
provides convenient front panel LED status indicators for all HDBaseT
parameters to quickly verify proper operation.
The UHBX-3S supports PoH (Power over HDBaseT™) using an optional
external 48 v DC power supply (part number 511-PS4812 sold separately).
Compatible receivers are powered from the sender using PoH standard so no
additional power supplies are needed. The implementation is compliant with
HDBaseT Alliance's requirements and adheres to PoE IEEE802.3af standard
whereby power is only inserted onto the UTP cable after a low voltage handshake
with a compliant receiver to assure reliability, safety, and compliance.
The HD BaseT outputs can be connected to all compliant HDBaseT receivers,
TV's and projectors. Hall Research offers ccompatible receivers including the
economical UH-1BT-R for extension to 70m/230 ft, the UH-1BTX-R for
extension to 100m /230 ft (or 150m/500ft if the splitter port is configured for LR
mode), or the UHBX-R-PD that supports HDMI, RS-232, PoH, and extension to
150m/500 ft.

Full-duplex RS232 Serial Port extension is provided that can operate at any baud
rate up to 115,200 (independent of video activity).
When the UHBX-3S is paired with the UHBX-R-PD receivers, all receivers are
remotely powered from sender as shown in the figure above. For this to work an
