The Cablesson HDelity 8x8 HDMI Deep Colour & Full 3D over
Single CAT.X Matrix with Bi-Directional IR, provides the most
flexible and cost effective solution in the market to route high
definition video sources plus multi-channel Digital Audio (up
to 7.1-channel) from any of the Eight HDMI sources to the
remote displays at the same time. Through only one 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. Furthermore, the built-in IR extension function
allows users at the display side to access the DVD Player, PS3 or
any HDMI supported devices directly!
“We believe in creating
thoughtful products for you”

DEFINITION OF IR EARPHONE JACK (3.5mm JACK CONNECTION)
Incorrect placement of IR Blaster and Receiver may result
into the failure of IR Extenders. Please check carefully
before plugging-in the IR Extender to the respective IR
sockets. Warranty will not cover the damage.
!
You can buy any IR Extension cable in the market that
is compatible to the definition of IR sockets for the
Matrix if necessary for replacement use. However, IR
cables longer than 2m (6 ft.) may not work.

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. 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) - 24 bit 2D & 2 ch
2. Full-HD (1080p@60) - 24 bit 2D & 7.1 ch
3. Full-HD (1080p@60) - 24 bit 3D & 2 ch

7. When I set an Audio Amplifier (AV Receiver) between TV and the Matrix to extract 7.1ch audio, but why
there is still no audio?
Basically, the Default EDID of the chosen input can support 7.1ch audio, but the problem is that the EDID of the
Amplifier still cannot match the default setting. Therefore, the best method is to learn EDID from the Amplifier
directly. Please refer to EDID LEARNING section and follow the steps to learn the EDID. When learning EDID
from the Amplifier, user just needs to connect the Matrix and Amplifier. Please don't connect HDMI cable between
Amplifier and TV when the EDID Learning is proceeding.
8. When I play the same content upon multi-displays, why only the TV equipped with Amplifier can have
7.1ch audio, and the others don't have 7.1ch audio even no stereo?
Due to the limitation of HDMI, the source only can choose one video and one audio format to play, which can be
either 1080p and 7.1ch or 1080p and stereo audio. It means when the user sets the Matrix at 1080p and 7.1ch,
the source will only play the content under this format. Therefore if the TV cannot decode 7.1ch audio, there is
definitely no audio.
1. The quality of output video is not good enough, what can I do?
Please adjust the 8-level equalization at the bottom of the receiver units. The HDMI signal level varies from 0
(strongest) to 7 (weakest) for respective transmission length from longest possible range to short distance. It is
recommended to switch from 7 to 0 to find the optimal visual experience.
2. Can I use any kind of LAN cable?
Please check the NOTICE section for more information about how to pick up a suitable cable.
3. Can every TV work with the HDMI Matrix?
Basically, the answer is YES. But if your TV can not support 1080p, please refer the EDID LEARNING section to
learn EDID from your TV.
4. What is EDID? Why do I need to learn EDID?
EDID contains the whole information of the display such as the Resolution and Audio Setting which this display
can support. Therefore, based on the EDID information, media player will pick up the most suitable resolution and
audio setting to the display. In order to faithfully transmit the EDID information from display to the media player,
learning EDID from display to this device is necessary.
5. What should I do to learn EDID for the Matrix?
Due to the limitation of HDMI, the source device can only output one format of video and audio. In other words,
the source device cannot output 720p and 1080p video at the same time, or output stereo and surround sound at
the same time. Therefore, you may need to manually setup each HDMI input for desirable audio/video output
format. The mechanism of EDID Learning is to pick up the HDMI display with the lowest capability among the
ones you would use for this input source.
For example, if user would like to play the Input-2 upon output-2, output-3 and output-4, and only output-3 cannot
support 1080p (support up to 720p only), please learn EDID from the display connected to the output-3 at the
Input-2 port. Of course, if outpt-3 would get the HDMI signals from every HDMI input, please learn EDID
information from output-3 to all four HDMI inputs. For more information about EDID Learning, please refer to EDID
LEARNING section.
6. My TV can support 1080p, but why there is no audio?
The Factory Default EDID of this device is 1080p & 2ch audio. However, there would be a problem after you
change to use 1080p & 7.1ch if the TV cannot support 7.1ch audio. Please use the Default EDID, 1080p & 2ch
audio.

1. If DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide the
DVI/HDMI EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz LAN Cable and
ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG-870B.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of DVI sources, and the type of
DVI display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable 300m/1000ft form) can transmit a lot
longer signals than stranded LAN cables (usually in patch cord form). Shielded STP cables are better suited than
unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP CAT6
cable. For long extension users, solid LAN cables are the only viable choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better performance
5. To reduce the interference among unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, one can use shielded LAN
cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit can achieve and
how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one’s choice of LAN cables.
For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT6 cable is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the first HDMI input [HDMI input #1] generally can
produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
8. Additional IR Remote controls and IR Blasters can be purchased as optional accessories to control the HDMI
sources located separately.
