1. INTRODUCTION
This 6×8 HDMI and HDBaseT Matrix supports routing and transmission
of video (resolutions up to 4K@60Hz w/ HDMI 2.0 & HDCP 2.2) and audio
(multi-channel digital/stereo analogue) while providing flexible control
via IR, RS-232, Telnet or WebGUI. As many as six UltraHD sources may be
routed to any of eight destinations, six via single Cat.5e/6/7 cables (up to
60m at 1080p or up to 35m at 4K@30Hz) and two via HDMI 2.0 outputs.
The two HDMI 2.0 outputs support transmission of 18Gbps UltraHD
HDMI sources (up to 4K@60Hz, 4:4:4) from any HDMI input or they can
mirror any of the HDBaseT outputs for local monitoring. 3D video is also
supported when compatible sources and displays are connected.
This product supports passing 7.1 channel LPCM digital audio as well as
advanced bitstream and HD bitstream audio formats. Additionally, six
analogue audio outputs are available to provide stereo breakout audio
from the associated HDBaseT output (LPCM 2.0 sources only). Beyond
basic video routing, this product also incorporates an independent audio
matrix with eight audio outputs and four audio inputs. Oering discrete
audio routing, insertion and extraction, this product makes it possible to
have multiple audio zones within your installation. This product supports
the Optical Audio Return (OAR) channel feature, found on compatible
HDBaseT receivers, allowing optical audio sources connected to those
receivers to be sent back to the matrix unit.
Internally generated test patterns (up to 18Gbps UHD resolutions) are
provided to assist with setup, providing a simple way to verify both matrix
and sink functionality. The Power over HDBaseT (PoH) function can power
compatible receivers, providing greater flexibility in your installations.
Control is via manual selection buttons, WebGUI, Telnet, RS-232 or IR
remote.
