3. System Connection
3.1 System Applications
As its good performance in control and transmission, the matrix switcher can be widely
used in computer realm, monitoring, large screen displaying, conference system,
television education and bank securities institutions etc.
3.2 Usage Precautions
1) System should be installed in a clean environment and has a prop temperature and
humidity.
2) All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated and
safe.
3) All devices should be connected before power on.

3.3 Connection Diagram
3.4 Connection Procedure
1) Connect HDMI sources (e.g. DVD) to HDMI inputs of the matrix switcher with HDMI
cables.
2) Connect auxiliary audio sources to the AUDIO IN ports with audio cables.
3) Connect HDBaseT receivers (e.g. HDMI Twisted Pair PoC Receiver) to the
HDBaseT Output ports with twisted pair.
4) Connect HDMI displays (e.g. HDTV) to HDMI outputs of the matrix switcher or the
receivers with HDMI cables
5) Connect speakers/earphones to AUDIO output ports
6) Connect the RS232 port of control device (e.g. a PC) to the RS232 port of either
switcher or far-end receivers. RS232 signal can be transmitted bi-directionally
between the switcher and far-end receivers.
7) The switcher can collect IR signal sent by the included IR remote via its built-in IR
sensor or through external IR receiver connected to the IR IN/ IR EYE/ IR ALL IN
port. The IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between the switcher and
far-end receivers.

8) Connect an AC 100V~240V power outlet and the switcher with the AC power cord.
Note:
1. Connect HDBT ports of switcher and far-end receiver with straight-through cable.
2. Output audio is selectable via RS232 command Audio/[X]:[Y]. It’s free to select
whether analog audio or HDMI audio to output. Default is HDMI audio.
3. IR receivers connected to IR IN& IR ALL IN should be with carrier. If not, send
command %0900.or %0901.to activate native carrier mode or force carrier mode in
the IR matrix launched between the switcher and far-end receivers.
3.5 Connection with HDMI Twisted Pair PoC Receiver
4K HDBaseT 8x8 Matrix Switcher boasts 8 HDBaseT output ports, which support PoC
solution. Connect the HDBT output ports of 4K HDBaseT 8x8 Matrix Switcher to
HDBaseT Receivers supporting PoC(like HDMI Twisted Pair PoC Receiver) via twisted
pair. Plug a power supply to the power port of the switcher; the HDBaseT Receivers will
be energized synchronously with PoC solution.
4. System Operations
4.1 Front Panel Button Control
The operation examples are showed in 2.1 Front Panel. Here we make a brief
introduction to the system operations.
4.1.1 Switching I/O connection
1) To convert one input to an output:
Operation: “input”+“output”+“ENTER”
Example: input 1 to output 2
PoC
AC 100V ~ 240V

4K HDBaseT™ 8x8 Matrix Switcher
MX-HDBASE8X8-4K 8
KanexPro.com
Note: In default status, 8 IR OUT sockets correspond with 8 HDMI INPUTS. When you
convert an HDMI input to an output, the corresponding IR OUT will be switched
synchronously.
2) To convert an input to several outputs:
Operation: “input” + “output” + “output” +…+“ENTER”
Example: Switch input 2 to output 2, 4
3) To convert an input to all outputs:
Operation: “input” + “ALL” +“ENTER”
Example: Convert input 1 to all outputs
Note: Indicators of the pressed buttons will blink green for three times if the conversion
is done, then it will be off. If the conversion failed, they will be off immediately.
4.1.2 EDID Management
The matrix switcher features EDID management to maintain compatibility between all
devices. It can be controlled via EDID learning and EDID invoking.
EDID Learning (from output):
"One input port learns the EDID data of one output port
Operation: Press “EDID”, “INPUTS”+“OUTPUTS”+“ENTER”.
Example: Input 2learns EDID data from output 4
"All input ports learn EDID data from one output port
Operation: Press “EDID”, “ALL”+“OUTPUTS”+“ENTER”
Example: All input ports learn EDID data from output 4

4.2.2 IR Operations
1) IR Matrix Switching
The 8“IR OUT” ports and the 8 “IR IN” ports on the far-end receivers makeup an8x8IR
matrix. See as below:
IR Matrix
Corresponding IR sends the IR signal remote, then it is transferred to HDBaseT receiver,
then to corresponding zone of the matrix through the twisted pair, finally it is transferred
to IR OUT port and received by controlled device.
Switching Operation: (8 IR IN ports correspond with 8 HDMI input ports separately in
default mode.)
a) Sending command (reference to 4.3 RS232 Control): [x1] R [x2].
x1: Corresponding to the 8 IR OUT ports of the matrix, the IR transmitter connected
to this port can be placed at IR receiving area of output device or the
8x8switcheritself.
x2: Corresponding to the zone (receive IR signal from HDBaseT receiver with IR IN
port connects with IR receiver) number of the switcher.
Example: Send command “3R2.” to transfer IR signal received from zone 2 to IR
OUT port 3.
2) Force Carrier
a) Only if the IR receiver connected to HDBaseT receiver is with IR carrier, can the
received IR signal be transferred to IR OUT port of the matrix.
b) Only if the IR receiver connected to IRALL IN port of the matrix is with IR carrier, can
the received IR signal be transferred to IR OUT port of the matrix.
If the IR receiver connected with HDBaseT receiver or IR ALL IN port of the matrix is

not with IR carrier, send the command “%0901.”to enter infrared carrier enforcing
mode, and then IR signal can be transferred to IR OUT port.
3) IR control setting
!Control far-end output device from local
Connect an IR receiver with IR carrier to the IR IN port of the switcher; users can control
far-end output displayer via its IR remote from local.
In that case, the IR signal is transferred via twisted pair. Only the corresponding IR OUT
port can emit control signals to the remote display.
See the figure below:
Control far-end device from Local
Note: The IR receiver connected to IR IN must be with IR carrier
The IR signal received from IR ALL IN port will be transmitted to all the eight far-end
HDBaseT receivers connected to HDBaseT ports of the matrix switcher. See below:
