Setup

Note: All Cat5e/6 cables must be terminated to 568B standards.

Unsheilded (or properly terminated sheilded cable), solid core Cat5e,

Cat6, Cat6e, Cat7 or Cat7e cable can be used. Stranded core is not

suggested as it can reduce signal transfer. Recommended to use a

continuous length of cable terminated at the matrix and receiver ends.

With the splitter power switch in the OFF position, connect the HDMI

High Speed cable from the HDMI Output of the audio/video source to the

HDMI Input located on the rear of the splitter.

Tips: Use the shortest length HDMI cables possible in each point

in the installation. Use only High Quality and High Speed HDMI

cables.

Next, connect a Cat5e/6 cable to the HDBaseT Out 1 port on the rear of

the splitter. Connect the other end of the Cat5e/6 cable to the HDBaseT

IN port on the rear of the HDBaseT receiver positioned near the TV. Run

a short, High Speed HDMI cable from the HDMI Out port on the receiver

to the HDMI In port on the TV. Plug a provided power adapter into an

AC outlet and the other end into the HDBaseT receiver. Using the same

steps, connect the remaining displays to the splitter.

Important: The HDBaseT Receivers when operating are warm and do

require space around the housing for air circulation and coollng. Do not

enclose the HDBaseT receiver. If placed behind a component such as a

TV, ensure that there is adequate space for air circulation and ambient

cooling and that there is no heat being generated and transmitted to the

receiver from the other device. Damage caused by improper placement

and overheating of the splitter or the receiver is not covered by the

product warranty.

On initial power on, all LED lights on the splitter should come on solid

blue. If less than the maximum number of Displays are connected to

the splitter (not all the outputs are used) there will be no corresponding

HDMI OUT blue LED for the unused output. Blue lights will only appear

for devices connected.

The HDBaseT Receiver has 4 LED indicators:

1. HDCP: A solid LED indicates that the HDCP handshake between the

source and display has been authenticated.

2. Link: Indicates a connection between the Matrix and the Receiver.

3. Mode: A flashing LED indicates correct operation of the system.

4. Power: A solid LED indicates power to the receiver.

The 1x4 Splitter featuring HDBaseT Lite includes 4 pairs of Infrared

Extenders, 4 IR Transmitters (IR-TX) and 4 IR Receivers (IR-RX). The

front panel of the splitter has 1 IR-TX port. The HDBaseT Receivers each

have one IR-TX port and one IR-RX port. Using the included extenders,

you can configure the IR to control the source devices when present at

any of the displays.

The port on the splitter labeled “IR” accepts an optional IR-TX, sending

commands received from the IR-RX at the display end (HDBaseT

receiver) to the IR “eye” on a source.

Plug an IR-RX into the IR-RX Port of the HDBaseT receiver. Place the end

of the IR-RX in an area that is in line-of-sight to the remote control.

Plug an IR-TX into the IR port on the splitter. Position the end of the IR-

TX in line of sight to the IR “eye” of the source device. The IR “eye” is

normally a small circle on the face of the source devices that receives the

IR signal from its remote control.

To control multiple source devices with one IR-TX, stack the sources

together and position the IR-TX, which is plugged into the IR port on the

splitter, so that all the source devices can receive the IR signal (Blast)

from the IR-TX.

Note: A remote control is not included. A remote control programmed to

control the source device/s is required for IR operation.

Troubleshooting

Q. One of the display does not show a picture or output audio.

A. Check the displays input setting to ensure it is set to receive a signal

from the connected HDMI port.

Q. One or more of the connected displays will not display a picture while

one or more of the displays do display a picture:

A1. Press the RESET button on the front of the splitter to reset it.

Alternatively turn off the power to the splitter, source and displays. Wait

60 seconds. Turn the source on and the displays on. Turn the splitter on.

A2. The HDMI cables on the non-functonal display/s cannot support

their long length. Use only high-quality High Speed HDMI cables. Keep

the cable length as short as possible. Test by locating the non-working

display close to the splitter. Use a short HDMI cable to connect the switch

to the TV. A working TV using a short HDMI cable indicates an issue with

the HDMI cable.

Q. The splitter is not down sampling the video and some of the TV’s are

not displaying a picture.

A1. Go into the TV’s setup and configure the resolution to match all the

connected TV’s. The TV’s should share the same resolution.

A2. In the source devices menu options set the source device to output a

resolution that matches all the connected displays.

Q. My TV’s resolution are not optimized.

A. The splitter will query the displays and provide the highest common

video resolution amongst them. Example: Using a 1080p source, if 3

of the displays support a maximum resolution of 1080p and 1 display

supports a maximim resolution of 720p, all 4 display will operate at a

resolution of 720p. If the 720p TV in the example is then turned off, the

other 3 displays can then operate in 1080p resolution. Press the RESET

button on the front panel of the splitter to refresh the configuration. The

three 1080p TV’s will refresh (flicker) then each will display a 1080p

resolution picture.
