1. Introduction
The HD BaseT 4x4 HDMI Matrix with simultaneous CAT5e/6/7 and HDMI outputs connects four HDMI
sources to eight displays. This matrix features four HDMI outputs and each HDMI output is mirrored to
provide a CAT-Cable output which runs simultaneously. It supports the transmission of video (resolutions up
to 1080p Full HD and 4Kx2K@30Hz) and supports high resolution digital audio formats such as LPCM 7.1CH,
Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio. Connect a HD BaseT Receiver to each of the
CAT-Cable outputs to extend the HDMI signal up to 230ft/70m (70m Version) or 131ft/40m(40m version)for
multi-room connectivity. It works with Blue-Ray players, Set-Top boxes, Home Theater PCs, and game
consoles that connect to an HDMI display. Any source is accessible at all times by any display by selecting it
via the supplied IR Remote Control, RS-232, TCP/IP or by using the selection buttons on the front panel. This
device supports High Definition Audio, and 3D signal compatibility.

EDID. What is it and what is it used for?
Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require information about a connected
device/display to assess what resolutions and features are available. The source can then cater its output to send
only resolutions and features that are compatible with the attached device/display. This information is called EDID
(Extended Display Information Data) and a source device can only accept and read one EDID from a connected
device/display. Likewise, the source an only output one resolution for use by a connected device/display.

6
Why is EDID so important with the HDMI Matrix?
The Matrix is complex piece of technology that replicates and switches between multiple inputs and outputs. Each
connected source device will require one EDID to read. EDID management is carefully handled by HDMI Matrix to
provide a single EDID for each source to read.
What options do I have to manage the EDID in the HDMI Matrix?
First, it is important to note that each source device can only output one video/audio signal type. This includes
resolutions and timings. When multiple devices/displays are used, such as with the HDMI Matrix, it is important to
use devices/displays that have similar or compatible resolutions/features. This will ensure that the single
video/audio signal produced by the source device is accepted by all of the connected output devices/displays. The
user has the option, through the EDID management window, to choose how the unit will manage the EDID from
multiple HDMI devices/displays. Therefore the user has some control over the resolutions/features that the source
devices will output. The HDMI Matrix has a multiple EDID management modes that will control how the EDID
information from multiple devices/displays are combined, ignored, and routed.

Press this button to select the previous input port and to select the next

7. IR Control system(IR Call-back of Matrix and Source Devices)
The matrix is not only a switcher and extender of multiple HDMI signals to
multiple HDMI receivers located remotely, it also passes IR control signals
through the IR call-back system to the matrix and HDMI sources for full,
independent control of all connected inputs from output locations.
Two-way IR Call-back between matrix, Sources and Displays from Multiple
Locations
A key feature on the matrix is discrete IR control of the matrix, sources and
displays from any location –so inputs at the matrix end can be controlled at a
display location and displays can be controlled at the matrix location. This is
accomplished by placing a series of IR Emitters on devices to control and IR
Receivers at all locations you wish to control from to enable the IR signal to
travel both ways via the single Cat5e/6/7 cable.
01. At Matrix end: Insert the 3.5mm jacks of the IR TX Emitters included with the unit into the IR TX Emitter ports
at the rear of the matrix according to input. The IR signal is added to the HDMI of the input device, for example, if
the user is watching Blue-ray on input 1, the IR signal will be directed through the IR TX1 socket to control the
device.
As each IR TX port is allocated to an individual HDMI input port, if the user is unable to establish IR control of the
device, care should be taken to check firstly, that the IR emitter and HDMI input ports match (Input 1-TX1,
Input2-TX2 etc.) with plugs secured in correct ports, and secondly, that the IR TX emitter sensors are firmly

8
attached directly to the front of inputs and covering infrared sensor windows of the source devices. Some later
adjustment may be needed to the location of the sensor to achieve the best performance results - sometimes
moving the sensor to different areas on the source can improve IR performance.
NOTE: Infrared receiving areas of devices can be located by shining a flashlight onto the front of the device –the
sensor should be able to be seen through the plastic as a small, round object inside. Insert 3.5mm jacks of IR RX
receivers into RX ports, making sure the receivers themselves are placed in clear view to receive an infrared signal
from the remote handset used to control the display outputs.
02. At display end: Insert the IR RX Receiver jack into the IR RX port of the display receiver balun, with the receivers
themselves placed in clear view on or near the displays to receive an infrared signal from the remote handset used
to control inputs. Insert the IR TX Emitter jack into the IR TX port of the display receiver balun, ensuring that the
emitter sensor is securely attached to infrared sensor window of the display. Follow the same connection and
positioning for all baluns/displays connected to the matrix. If all IR TX Emitters and IR RX Receivers are positioned
and connected correctly with sources, displays and display receivers fully powered and the matrix set to IR
call-back enabled and IR TX Switch mode activated, two-way IR will now be possible.
Note: Misplaced or poorly secured IR Emitters and Receivers may result in intermittent IR control signals passed to
and from the matrix. Check your placement and adjust if necessary.
IR BLASTER (TX)
To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR OUT port of transmitter unit; place blaster in front of the IR eye of the
source.
To control the display: Plug IR Blaster into IR OUT port of receiver unit; place blaster in front of the IR eye of the
display.
IR RECEIVER (RX)
To control the source: Plug IR Receiver into IR IN port of receiver unit; place receiver at or near display.
To control the display: Plug IR Receiver into IR IN port of transmitter unit; place receiver in position where it is able
to receive remote signals.
