System Connections
4.1. Safety Precautions
The system should be installed in a clean environment with temperature and humidity
levels within the specified operating range.
Ensure that all plugs, power cords and sockets are in good condition without signs of
damage.
All devices should be connected before turning on the power.
4.2. System Diagram
4.3. Connection Procedure
a) Connect an HDMI source device (e.g. Blu-Ray player) to the HDMI Input
connectors of the HDMI 8x8 Matrix Switch, with an HDMI cable.
b) Connect up to eight (8) HDBT Receiver(s) to the HDBT Link output port(s) of the
HDMI 8x8 Matrix Switch, with a UTP Cable.
c) An AVR amplifier with a digital coaxial cable may be connected using the digital
output ports.
d) Connect the controlling device (e.g. PC) to the RS232 Input port of the HDMI
8x8 Matrix Switch.
e) Connect a Patch cord from the router to the Ethernet port on Matrix Switch to
control the Matrix Switch using TCP/IP protocol.
f) Connect an IR Sensor to the IR Sensor port, and an IR Emitter to the IR
Emitter port. The IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between the
HDMI 8x8 Matrix Switch and the HDBT Receiver(s).

TCP/IP Control
In addition to supporting IR and RS232 control, the Matrix Switch also supports TCP/IP
control.
The default settings are: IP: 192.168.1.239; Subnet Mast: 255.255.255.0; Gateway:
192.168.1.1; TCP Port: 23.
The IP and gateway settings can be changed as needed.
Connect the Ethernet port of the control device (such as a PC) and the Ethernet port of
the Matrix Switch to the same network segment. This allows the user to control the
Matrix Switch via the units web-interface GUI or designed TCP/IP communication
software.
5.3.4. Control Modes
The Matrix Switch can be controlled by a PC without a network connection (via a direct
connection) or by one or more PCs within a LAN.
 Controlled by PC (with a direct connection)
Connect a computer’s Ethernet port directly to the Ethernet port of the Matrix Switch,
and set the PC’s network segment to the same as the Matrix Switch’s.
 Controlled by PC(s) in LAN
Connect the Matrix Switch to a Router or Ethernet Switch and one or more PCs to the
same network to setup a LAN (as shown in the figure below). Set the network segment
of the Matrix Switch and PC(s) to the same segment set in the Router or Ethernet
Switch. This then allows the PC(s) within the LAN to control the Matrix Switch.
Follow these steps to connect the devices:
Step1. Connect the Ethernet port of the Matrix Switch to the Ethernet port of the PC
with a Cat 5e/6 twisted pair Ethernet cable.
Step2. Set the PC’s network segment to the same as the Matrix Switch’s. However if
the PC has the same network segment as the Router or Ethernet Switch then
please take note of the PC’s original network segment before changing it,
Router
Internet
PC
TCP IP Port

since you will need to change it back later on.
Step3. With the PC communicating to the web interface of the Matrix Switch, set the
Matrix Switch’s network segment to the same as that of the Router or Ethernet
Switch.
Step4. Set the PC to the same network segment of the Router or Ethernet Switch. If
the original one was already the same as the Router or Ethernet Switch, then
