CE440 Connections
The CE440 can drive a wide variety of displays at up to 2160P resolution at bit rates up to 50 Mbps. Depending upon your
application, connect the following cables to operate the unit.
•Display cable – The preferred connection between the CE440 and the display monitor is a high-quality HDMI cable
of no longer than 15 feet. Depending on the application, plug in the cable from the media player to the display,
switch, or first distribution amplifier. The CE440 does support Composite video and analog audio output via the
3.5mm jack on the rear panel.
oThe R/L Video port is a 3.5mm combination jack that requires a 4 conductor 3.5mm TRRS plug.
Note: Video output resolution has been pre-set at the factory for automatic negotiations. The media player should select the
highest resolution reported available from the Display. The output and resolution can be specified at time of order and pre-set
to your requirements.
•Audio cable – The analog audio output is via the 3.5mm jack labeled A/V 3.5. You should only use the proper cable
for this output.
Note: The analog R/L audio will not be synchronized with the Digital Audio routed to the HDMI output. Simultaneous use of
Analog and Digital Audio is discouraged as there is noticeable delay between the two.
Note: If HDMI cable is being used, a separate audio cable is not required if the TV / monitor has internal speakers.
•SPDIF – Digital Optical (TOSLINK) Multi-channel audio is available on the 3.5mm mini-optical connector.
•Power – The CE440 uses a 12VDC, 1.5A or 2A power supply. Total power consumption is approximately 7 Watts
which leaves a large reserve in the power supply. Insert the power supply 12 VDC plug into the CE440 power jack
and screw it down snug. Insert the AC Plug of the power supply into an electrical outlet. The green power LED will
be illuminated, and the unit will boot up within 1 minute.
•Ethernet –If this is a networked installation, connect the Ethernet Port to a Switch or Router via an Ethernet cable.
The unit will automatically obtain an IP address if unit’s DHCP is selected as ON and there is a DHCP server
somewhere on the local subnet. A static IP may be set if desired.
•IR Remote Control – Use the included remote to complete the Out of Box experience or enter Advanced settings.
•GPIO – These ports are generally used to interface with pushbuttons that can be used to trigger certain videos.
Refer to the GPIO section later in this manual for a full description of the GPIO ports.
•IR Receiver – There is an internal IR receiver on the front of the CE440. This is for use with an optional IR remote
control.
•Wi-Fi Antenna Jacks– The CE440 includes an internal Wi-Fi module and two external antennas.
•Reset– In order to reset the CE440, disconnect the power supply from the AC output for about 10 seconds, then re-
apply power. There is also a dedicated RESET jack (2.5mm) that allows an external reset button with a 2.5mm plug
harness to be remotely located in case the media player is installed in an inaccessible location.
•RF Tuner– Optional – The CE440 may be ordered with a Tuner that can decode ATSC 1.0 and QAM 256 signals.
