Connect the port on the matrix with the receiver for data transmissions.
RX - IR receiver
Receives signals via the supplied IR receiver cable from your remote
HDMI - Connect to your HDMI equipment
Connect your TVs to the receivers via a high speed HDMI cable, ensuring
the cable meets the requirements outlined in the back of this guide.
TX - IR emitter
Transmits signals via the supplied IR transmitter cable from your remote
HDMI Source Input - Connect your source devices
Connect your source devices via a high speed HDMI cable, ensuring the
cable meets the requirements outlined in the back of this guide.

MATRIX FRONT PANEL
System Health LED
The LED should be green at all times while
the matrix is turned on. If this turns red
please contact your place of purchase.
Monitored LED
The LED indicates if the matrix is connected
to the monitoring system to receive updates.
Your matrix is pre-congered to request and IP address from a local DHCP server
(this is usually your internet router). If this fails, you can run our discovery tool,
available from our website.
Once the matrix has an IP address it should be visible in devices and printers on
your Windows PC. Simply double click the icon to open the web interface. From
here you can control the various features of the matrix.
Below is an example of your matrix’s web interface.

Should you encounter installation diculties or issues with device communication, the
following checklist of common issues and causes should help resolve your issues.
If you still continue to experience issues, please contact your place of purchase.
No or poor picture quality:
• Connected and powered? Double check all HDMI, Ethernet and power cables are rmly
connected into the correct ports an all devices are correctly powered.
• Cable length? Are you approaching the maximum distance of the cable (70m) if so,
adjust the picture quality or try using an additional extender kit to go further distance.
Cables bundled together may cause cross talk and further degrade signal quality.
• Signal strength? The use of cable joins, stranded patch panels, wall outlands and
stranded patch leads as interconnects between them, can signicantly reduce signal
strength. Use solid core straight through connections wherever possible.
• If you reduce the resolution of the source do you get a picture? If so, this suggests a
conicting resolution between source and display or a bandwidth capacity issue with
your cable. Check all inputs and outputs share the same resolution capabilities.
• Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘hoise’ signies a failure to fully establish a signal and can often be
caused by poorly terminated RJ45 connectors or excess cable lengths. Ensure your
cable is correctly wired to 568B standards.
• Cable quality and condition - HDMI cable/connectors can easily be damaged and the
quality of material can vary, Always use good quality leads and cables and try swapping
cables that are known to be working into the solution to see if this improves your image.
IR control:
• Are the IR emitters and receivers correctly positioned to allow infrared signals to be
transmitted and received? Emitters should be xed rmly over infrared sensors of
sources. Receivers should be attached to displays ensuring a clear line of sight to the
remote control used to operate.
• Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible to the naked
eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing the remote handset sensor
thought a digital camera/camera phone. The sensor should ash when a button on the
handset is held down.
• IR signal dropout can be experienced due to exterior emissions of infrared radiation.
Ensure emitters and receivers are away from direct sunlight. Halogen lighting and
plasma screens may also interfere with IR signals
