1. INTRODUCTION
The 8 by 8 HDMI 4K2K Matrix over CAT5e/6/7 supports the transmission of video
(resolutions up to 4K2K Full HD & HDCP 2.2), multi-channel digital audio and control via
IR, RS-232, Telnet or Web GUI from eight high denition sources to eight outputs over a
single CAT5e/6/7 cable (up to 60m) 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 3D TV and 3D source. The Power over Cable (PoC) function can power
compatible receivers, providing greater exibility in installations.
2. APPLICATIONS
