4K/18G 4x4 HDMI/HDBaseT Matrix w/ Audio Breakout

Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance and safety, please read
these instructions carefully before connecting, operating or adjusting this product. Please keep
this manual for future reference.
SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE RECOMMENDED
This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged by electrical
spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection systems is highly
recommended in order to protect and extend the life of your equipment.
SAFTY NOTICE
1. The transmission distances of HDMI over UTP cables are measured using TE
CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6
2. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for CAT cables is recommended for better
performance.
3. DO NOT use 568A/568B standard mixed CAT cable (cross-over cable) because there are
2 pairs swapped, this will make POE OVER-CURRENT and damage POE components.
Please use straight-through CAT cable (both RJ45 headers are 568A or 568B standard).
4. It is recommended that power up the device after connections of source, sink and CAT
cable.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in CAT cable, do
not run HDBaseT / Zone Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close parallel proximity to mains
power cables. Shielded CAT cables can be used to improve EMI problems, which is
worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the CAT 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 cables.
7. Do not substitute or use any other Power Supply other than the enclosed unit, or a Factor
Electronics approved Replacement Part. Doing so will void the warranty and potentially
expose the user to dangerous voltages resulting in an electrical shock.
8. Do not disassemble the device
warranty. Also, our unique case is an integral part of the design of this unit and is
responsible for cooling and circuitry shielding. Any modifications to this case will
potentially cause malfunction and product failure.
9. Do not expose the device to water, moisture, or liquid. Possible electric shock may result
as well as failure of the unit to operate.

Introduction
The MX4K44BT is a HDMI/HDBaseT matrix which can routes four Hi-Def sources to any four
HDTV displays, supporting 1080p Full HD up to 4K@60Hz HDR plus all 3D formats, along with
multichannel digital audio formats such as Dolby® True HD and DTS-
Embedded audio extractors can extract the audio and output via L/R or Coaxial. Volume can
be controlled for analogue audio out. Based on HDBaseT Lite chipset inside, the output
distance can reach up to 70m via Cat5e/Cat6. Each source can be routed to any display using
the front-panel push buttons, IR remote control, RS-232 interface, or via TCP/IP.
Features
4x HDMI inputs, 4x HDBT outputs and 1x HDMI loop output
Supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, HDR and full 3D
HDBT output 1 supports conversion from 4K to 1080P
Supports 4K resolution up to 40m, and 1080p to 70m over single CAT cable
Smart CSC technology supports outputting 6G or 3G video depends on sink device
IR/RS232 signal can pass through to the corresponding receiver (1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, 4 to
4) via HDBaseT.
Supports IR extension to control the matrix via remote control away from 10m
Supports IR Matrix function to control the sinks or sources.
Support IDIR function to separately control each sink connected to HDBT Output.
1x L/R audio input, can be embedded into any HDMI input
Analogue/ digital audio output simultaneously
Push buttons, IR, RS-232, TCP/IP and Web GUI for control
