1. INTRODUCTION
The HDBaseT™ 8 by 8 HDMI Matrix over CAT5e/6/7 supports
the transmission of video (resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and
1920x1200@60Hz), multi-channel digital audio and control via IR, RS-
232 or Telnet and Web GUI from eight high denition sources to eight
outputs over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable (up to 100m) for each output.
It supports high resolution digital audio formats such as LPCM 7.1CH,
Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio as well as
3D content that can be displayed when connecting a 3DTV and 3D
source. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support means that compatible
receivers do not need their own power supplies allowing for greater
exibility in installations and LAN serving allows devices such as Smart
TVs to be connected to the network.
2. APPLICATIONS

LAN: Connect to an active network for LAN serving and Telnet and
Web GUI control (refer to Sections 6.8 and 6.9).
When the Matrix or any compatible LAN equipped receivers are
connected to a network, this allows the network access (including
internet access if available) to be shared between the Matrix and
all connected receivers. Connect any Ethernet equipped device
e.g. a Smart TV or games console to the LAN port of a receiver for
that device to share the network/internet access.
2RS-232: Connect to a PC or control system with D-Sub 9-pin cable
for the transmission of RS-232 commands.
3
ALL IR OUT: Connect to the IR blaster for IR signal transmission to
the source side. Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the
equipment to be controlled for it will blaster out all signal received
from the IR IN at the receiver sides.
4
ALL IR IN: Connect to the IR extender for IR signal reception. Ensure
that remote being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR
extender for it will send out the signal to all receiver's IR OUT.
5
SERVICE: Manufacturer use only.
6
IR OUT 1~8: Connect to the IR blasters for IR signal transmission.
Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be
controlled for it will blaster out the IR signal received from the
receiver side choosen by input selection.
7IR IN 1~8: Connect to the IR extenders for IR signal reception. Ensure
that remote being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR
extender for it will send out the IR signal to the selected receiver's
IR OUT.

8
CAT5e/6/7 OUT 1~8: Connect from these CAT outputs to the CAT
input port of the receiver units with a single CAT5e/6/7 cable for HDMI
Audio/Video and IR/RS-232 control signal transmission.
9
HDMI IN 1~8: Connect to the HDMI input source devices such as a
DVD player or a Set-top Box with HDMI cable or DVI to HDMI cable.

6.8 Telnet Control
Before attempting to use the telnet control, please ensure that both
the Matrix (via the 'LAN /CONTROL' port) and the PC/Laptop are
connected to the active networks.
Note: Please do not connect both the Matrix and the PC/Laptop
with a single CAT5e/6 cable together as it will not access the telnet
function.
To access the telnet control in Windows 7, click on the 'Start' menu
and type "cmd" in the Search eld then press enter.
Under Windows XP go to the 'Start' menu and click on "Run", type
"cmd" with then press enter.
Under Mac OS X, go to Go→Applications→Utilities→Terminal
See below for reference.

10
Once in the command line interface (CLI) type "telnet", the IP address
of the unit you wish to control and "23", then hit enter.
Note: The IP address of the Matrix can be displayed on the device's
LCM monitor by pressing the Menu button twice/three times.
This will bring us into the device which we wish to control. Type "HELP"
to list the available commands.
Type “IPCONFIG” To show all IP congurations. To reset the IP,
type “RSTIP” and to use a set static IP, type ”SETIP” (For a full list of
commands, see Section 6.7).
Note: Any commands will not be executed unless followed by a
carriage return. Commands are not case-sensitive. If the IP is changed
then the IP Address required for Telnet access will also change
accordingly.

11
6.9 Web GUI Control
On a PC/Laptop that is connected to the same active network as the
Matrix, open a web browser and type device's IP address on the web
address entry bar. The browser will display the device's status, control
and User setting pages.
Click on the 'Control' tab to control power, input/output ports, EDID
and reset mode.

12
Clicking on the 'User Setting' tab allows you to reset the IP
conguration. The system will ask for a reboot of the device every time
any of the settings are changed. The IP address needed to access
the Web GUI control will also need to be changed accordingly on the
web address entry bar.
