2. INTRODUCTION
The Avenview SW-HDM3D-C6-8x8E, HDMI Matrix with IR, Full 3D Support and now Ethernet over Single CAT6 provides
the most flexible and cost effective solution in the market to route high definition video sources plus multi-channel (up to 7.1
channel) digital audio from any of the eight HDMI sources to the remote displays at the same time. Through low cost Cat-5/5e/6
LAN cables, not only high quality video and audio can be transmitted to the display sites, but also users can switch among eight
HDMI sources using the push-in button or remote control. With single power design at the source site, each remote module
is easily installed without power supply. Furthermore, the built-in IR extension function, users can control the HDMI source
devices such as Blu-ray Disc Player, Satellite Receivers etc. at display site directly.
- Supports HDMI Deep Color & Full 3D
- HDCP compliant
- Allows any source to be displayed on multiple displays at the same time
- Allows any HDMI display to view any HDMI source at any time
- Supports 7.1 channel digital audio
- Supports default HDMI EDID and learns the EDID of displays
- The matrix master can switch every output channels to any HDMI inputs by push-in button, IR remote control,
or RS-232 control
- Allows controlling local HDMI sources such as DVD and TiVo by attached IR extender from remote receiver to matrix
master
- Allows to control matrix master through IR remote control at remote receiver’s site
- Extends video signal up to 35m (115 feet) over CAT5e at 1080p and likely longer with better HDMI source device,
better grade HDMI display, and better quality solid CAT6 cable
- Easy installation with rack-mounting and wall-mounting designs for master and receiver respectively

SOFTWARE CONTROL: Please Refer To The Operation Approach \ Method C: Software Control Through RS-232 Port
There Are Eight Embedded Default Edid As Below,
1. FULL-HD (1080P@60)-24BIT 2D & 2CH
2. FULL-HD (1080P@60)-24BIT 2D & 7.1CH
3. FULL-HD (1080P@60)-24BIT 3D & 2CH
4. FULL-HD (1080P@60)-24BIT 3D & 7.1CH
5. HD (1080I@60)(720P@60)-24BIT 2D & 2CH
6. HD (1080I@60)(720P@60)-24BIT 2D & 7.1CH
7. FULL-HD (1080P@60)-36BIT 2D & 2CH
8. FULL-HD (1080P@60)-36BIT 2D & 7.1CH
The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever you encounter any display on the HDMI output port that cannot play
audio and video properly. Because the HDMI source devices and displays may have various level of capability in playing audio
and video, the general principle is that the source device will output the lowest standards in audio format and video resolutions
to be commonly acceptable among all HDMI displays. In this case, a 720p stereo HDMI signal output would be probably the
safest choice. Nevertheless, the user can force the matrix to learn the EDID of the lowest capable HDMI display among others
to make sure all displays are capable to play the HDMI signals normally.
There are three methods to do EDID learning as below,
1. Front panel push-in button: please refer to the operation approach\ Method A: push-in button
2. IR remote control: please refer to the operation approach\ Method B: IR remote control
3. Control Software: operation approach\ Method C: please refer to section 5.6
