BZBGEAR BG-UM44-150L-KIT PRODUCT MANUAL
Introduction
The BG-UM44-150L-KIT is an 18Gbps 4x4 HDBaseT(150M) matrix. It features four HDMI
inputs and four HDMI outputs which are mirrored to four HDBaseT category cable outputs
which run simultaneously. The system can support resolutions up to 4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4 and
each HDMI output supports 4K2K to 1080P downscaling independently.
The HDBaseT outputs can extend video transmission distance via Cat 5e/6/7 up to 492ft
(150m) at 1080p and 4K2K up to 394ft (120m). While achieving long distances and high
resolutions the BG-UM44-150L also supports a variety of HDR formats such as HDR10+,
Dolby Vision, and HLG for rich colors.
The BG-UM44-150L-KIT can de-embed audio to stereo analog and digital coaxial on the
transmitter and 3.5mm stereo on the HDBaseT receivers. HDMI audio pass-through
supports up to 7.1CH HD audio in a variety of formats like Dolby TrueHD. The system also
supports IR matrixing.
The IR signal is one-to-one control at the matrix end and the IR signal follows HDMI video
channels at the HDBaseT receiver end. To simplify installation, the receivers support power
over cable (PoC) so no additional power supply is needed. The BG-UM44-150L-KIT
provides an intuitive front panel OLED screen and control via physical panel buttons, IR
remote, RS-232, LAN, or Web GUI.

IR Control System
The BG-UM44-150L-KIT is not only a matrix switch but also an extender that supports
bi-directional IR control. When the matrix is connected to a HDBaseT receiver through a Cat
5e/6/7 cable, you can control the remote display device (HDBaseT) or input source device
(matrix) through an IR signal transmission. NOTE: The IR signal transmission method is
different from matrix (local) to HDBaseT receiver (remote) and from HDBaseT receiver
(remote) to matrix (local).
At the matrix (local end): the IR signal is one-to-one transmission. For example, the IR IN 1
port signal of the matrix will emit to the IR OUT port of the HDBaseT Receiver 1, and the IR
IN 3 port of the matrix will emit a signal to the IR OUT port of the HDBaseT Receiver 3. It
does not follow the video switch/change. The IR IN ALL port of the matrix will emit to all IR
OUT ports of HDBaseT receivers simultaneously. Please see the following connection
diagram.

BZBGEAR BG-UM44-150L-KIT PRODUCT MANUAL
At HDBaseT Receiver (Remote end): IR signal follows video switch/change.
For example, the HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 1 is from the HDMI
INPUT 2 port, so the IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 1 will emit to IR OUT 2 of
the matrix. The HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 3 is from the HDMI INPUT
4 port. Then, the IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 3 will emit to IR OUT 4 of the
matrix etc. Any HDBaseT receiver’s IR IN signal can output from the IR OUT ALL port of
the matrix and the IR OUT ALL signal of the matrix depends on your IR remote source
device. Please see the following connection diagram.

EDID Management
This BG-UM44-150L-KIT has 21 factory defined EDID settings, 2 user-defined EDID modes
and 8 copy EDID modes. You can select a defined EDID mode or copy EDID mode through
the on-panel buttons, RS-232 control, or web interface.
On-panel button operation: On main OLED display screen, press the “MENU” button to
enter the EDID setting interface, press “UP/DOWN” button to select the required EDID, and
press the “ENTER” button to enter “Copy to Input:” interface. Then press the “UP/DOWN”
button to select the input port you need to set, and press “ENTER” again to confirm.
RS-232 control operation: Connect the matrix to a PC with a serial cable, then open a
serial command tool on the PC to send ASCII command “s edid in x from z!” to set EDID.
For details, please refer to “EDID Setting” in the ASCII command list in Section 11 “RS-232
Control Commands”.
Web Interface: Please check EDID management in the “Input Setting” in section 10 “Web

Web GUI User Guide
The matrix can be controlled through a web interface and operation is shown below.
Step 1: Get the current IP Address.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.100. You can get the current matrix IP address in two
ways:
1. You can get the IP address using the front panel buttons. On the initial OLED
display, press the “MENU” button three times to enter the IP interface and check
the current IP address.
2. You can get the IP address via RS-232 control. Send the ASCII command “ r
ipconfig!” through a Serial Command tool, then you’ll get the feedback information
as shown below:
IP: 192.168.62.109 in the above figure is the current matrix IP address (the IP address is
variable depending on network configuration).
For a list of RS-232 controls, please refer to section 11. RS-232 Control Commands.
Step 2: Connect the TCP/IP port of the matrix to a PC with an ethernet cable (as shown in
the following figure) and set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network as the
matrix.
The computer must be on the same subnet as the matrix to connect successfully. The
device will not be accessible otherwise. The units default IP address is 192.168.1.100,
therefore the computer must be connected to the 192.168.1.x subnet.
To connect to the matrix, open the “Local Area Connection Properties” on the computer.
For Windows users right-click on the internet connection in the lower right corner of the
desktop.
Select “Open Network & Internet Settings”.
Select “Change Adapter Options”.
Right-click on your connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and select “Properties”.
Select “Internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” as shown below and click “Properties”.
