BZBGEAR BG-UM88-150L-KIT PRODUCT MANUAL
Introduction
The BG-UM88-150L-KIT is an 18Gbps 8x8 HDBaseT Matrix that can connect 8 HDMI
sources to 16 displays. It features 8 HDMI outputs, and each HDMI output is mirrored to
provide an HDBaseT output which runs simultaneously. The HDBaseT output can extend
video transmission distances up to 492ft or 150m via a single CAT 5e/6/7 cable at a
resolution up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. Audio can be extracted via balanced LR analog (5-pin
phoenix) and digital coaxial audio. Further, each HDMI output independently supports 4K to
1080p downscaling in order to support legacy displays.
The BG-UM88-150L-KIT also supports bi-directional IR matrixing. The matrix has
one-to-one control at the transmitter but the IR signal follows the HDMI video channel at the
HDBaseT receiver end.
The BG-UM88-150L-KIT can be controlled via an intuitive set of front panel buttons and
built-in OLED screen. It also supports control via an included IR remote, RS-232, LAN, and
Web GUI.

input “1” source will output to all display devices.
Operation instruction: First press an output button and
then press an input button to select the corresponding
input source.
IR Control System
This unit supports bi-directional IR control. When Matrix is connected to an HDBaseT
Receiver through Cat 5e/6/7 cable, you can control a remote display device (receiver end) or
input source device (Matrix end) through 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).

BZBGEAR BG-UM88-150L-KIT PRODUCT MANUAL
At the Matrix end (Local end): the IR signal is one-to-one transmission. For example, the IR
IN 1 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBaseT Receiver 1, and the
IR IN 3 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBaseT Receiver 3. It
doesn’t follow the video switch to change. IR IN ALL port signal of the Matrix will emit to all
IR OUT ports of HDBaseT receivers simultaneously. Please see the following connection
diagram.

BZBGEAR BG-UM88-150L-KIT PRODUCT MANUAL
At HDBaseT receiver (Remote end): IR signal follows the video switch and changes. For
example, the HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 1 is from the HDMI INPUT 2, so
the IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 1 will emit to the IR OUT 2 port of the Matrix.
The HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 5 is from the HDMI INPUT 4. Then, the IR
input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 5 will emit to IR OUT 4 port 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.

Web GUI User Guide
The Matrix can be controlled through a web interface and its operation is shown below.
Step 1: Find the current IP Address. The default IP address is 192.168.1.100.
1. Find the IP address via the panel buttons. On the initial OLED display, press the
“MENU” button to enter the IP interface, then press the “UP/DOWN” button to check
the current IP address.
2. Find the IP address via RS-232 control. Send the command “ r ipconfig!” through an
ASCII Command tool, the following information will then populate:
IP: 192.168.62.100 in the above figure is the IP Address of the Matrix (the IP address is
variable if its mode is set to DHCP).
For the details of ASCII control, please refer to the ASCII section of this manual.
Step 2: Connect the matrix LAN port directly to your PC using an ethernet cable.
Step 3: On the PC, go to Control Panel> Network and Internet> Network Connections>
Right click on Local Area Connections and select “Properties”.
