Device Connection Diagram Description: The diagram illustrates a typical setup. A source device (like a DVD or Blu-ray player) connects via HDMI to the VEO-XPT44A Transmitter. The Transmitter has an HDMI loop-out to a TV/Monitor, an IR Extender connected to its IR-Out port, and RS-232/Audio connections. The Transmitter is linked to the VEO-XPT44A Receiver via a CAT 5e/6a/7 cable. The Receiver outputs the signal via HDMI to another TV/Monitor, receives IR signals from an IR Extender connected to its IR-In port, and has RS-232/Audio connections. An amplifier can be connected to the audio ports on either unit. A single 24VDC power supply powers the system, connected to either the transmitter or receiver.

Mechanical Diagram

The mechanical diagram shows the physical dimensions and port layout of the Ecler VEO-XPT44A units. The transmitter and receiver are compact rectangular devices. Dimensions are approximately 154.4mm (length) x 78.3mm (width) x 20mm (height).
