INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the 4x4 Component Audio Matrix.
The 4x4 Component Audio Matrix switches four component video with analog audio
sources to any four component with analog audio displays.
The4x4ComponentAudioMatrix switcherhas fourcomponent videowith analogaudio
inputs and four component with analog audio outputs. There are 4 component video
( 3 RCA) with analog audio ( 2 RCA) inputs and 4 component ( 3 RCA) with analog
audio ( 2 RCA) outputs.
Note: The switching is done by using either the RMT-16-IR remote control or through
the RS232 port. The 4x4 ComponentAudio Matrix is rack mountable.

RMT16-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT16-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up.
The side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT16-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indicator
light on the remote will flash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not
press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These ac-
tions will cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be repeated.
Note: The RMT16-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation,
the second battery is complimentary.

DDC
ShortformforDisplayDataChannel.ItisaVESAstandardforcommunicationbetweenamonitor
and a video adapter. Using DDC, a monitor can inform the video card about its properties,
such as maximum resolution and color depth. The video card can then use this information to
ensure that the user is presented with valid options for configuring the display.
DDWG
Digital Display Working Group DDWG are the creators of the DVI specification.
DVI
Digital Visual Interface. Connection standard developed by Intel for connecting computers to
digital monitors such as flat panels and DLP projectors. A consumer electronics version, not
necessarilycompatible with the PCversion,isused as a connectionstandardforHDTV tuners
and displays. Transmits an uncompressed digital signal to the display. The latter version uses
HDCP copy protection to prevent unauthorized copying.
HDCP
High-BandwidthDigital Content Protection. CreatedbyIntel,HDCPisusedwith HDTV signals
overDVI and HDMI connectionsandonD-Theater D-VHS recordingstopreventunauthorized
duplication of copy written material.
HDMI
The High-Definition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed,
all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital
audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and a compatible
digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).
HDTV
High-Definition Television. The high-resolution subset of our DTV system. TheATSC defines
HDTV as a 16:9 image with twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of our existing system,
accompanied by 5.1 channels of Dolby Digital audio. The CEA defines HDTV as an image
with 720 progressive or 1080 interlaced active (top to bottom) scan lines. 1280:720p and
1920:1080i are typically accepted as high-definition scan rates.
RS-232
Recommended Standard 232. This is the de facto standard for communication through PC
serial ports. It can refer to cables and ports that support the RS232 standard.
VESA
Video Electronic Standards Association, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish
andmaintain industry widestandardsfor video cardsandmonitors.VESAwas instrumental in
the introduction of the Super VGAand Extended VGAvideo graphics standards with a refresh
rate of 70 Hz, minimizing flicker and helping to reduce user eyestrain and fatigue.
