control applications.
Quick Start Guide
Thank you for purchasing this Netvio product. The quick-start-guide is
designed to provide all required information to install your product
successfully, ensuring correct installation standards, therefore guaranteeing
performance in accordance with published features and specifications. Netvio
therefore greatly appreciates your time in reviewing the provided information
and following our recommended guidelines.
MX-HT2-0806-10
Before starting the installation, we recommend that you
download the Netvio 360 utility software from
www.netvio.co.uk. This provides easy configuration of the HT2
matrix. In addition, 360 provides the gateway to the Netvio GO
AV control application for Apple and Android devices. You will
require the product serial & product part number as a part of
the software validation process.
Safety Information
Attempts to remove product casings could result in electrical shock. Please do not attempt
to repair the device. In the event of product service requirements, please contact Netvio Ltd
or an authorised reseller for service procedures. Any unauthorised attempt to repair the
product or attempts to replace components with non-approved parts will invalidate the
product warranty. For full warranty conditions, please visit www.netvio.co.uk
Important Installation Guidelines
Prior to configuration, please ensure the matrix is properly seated on a flat, secure surface or housed in a suitable rack mount
with ample space for airflow and heat dissipation. Avoid direct contact with sources of heat such as heating systems or audio
amplifiers. Operating environment should not exceed stipulations of 0°C / +40°C | 20% - 90% RH
A suitable wired or wireless network with a router supporting DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) is required where
both Matrix and computer are connected to the same network.
If a suitable router or DHCP server is not available, a direct network connection between computer and Matrix is supported, with
both computer and Matrix set to auto assign IP addresses, where Netvio360 will discover the device and guide you through the
set-up.

Advertised cable distances are for guidance only. Many factors can effect transmission
distances including cable construction, quality, install standards, patch panels, faceplates and
external factors such as electromagnetic interference (EMI).
This product is designed to run over unshielded twisted pair Cat5e/6/7 cable. Some
consideration is required when installing shielded (STP) category cable ensuring all drain wires
and shielding are correctly grounded.
All RJ45 terminations should follow EIA/TIA-568-B terminations and not simply wired Pin 1-1,
Pin 2-2.The 568-B standard involves the splitting of the green pair to pins 3 & 6.
Maintain twists within the Cat5e/Cat6/Cat7 cores up to the point of termination.
Maintain gradual bends when installing category cable, ensuring a minimum radius of 25mm
where possible. Avoid sharp bends or twists in the cable avoiding taught or stretched cable at
all times.
When dressing the cable use moderate to low pressure, avoiding pinching of the cable jacket.
Do not splice, join or bridge the cable at anytime, as this will undoubtedly cause transmission
issues.
Use moderate to low pressure when pulling category cable avoiding pressures in excess of
11kgf (of force).
Keep category cable away from sources of EMI (electrical cables, transformers, light fixtures)
ensuring a minimum parallel distance of 300mm, crossing at right angles if absolutely
necessary.
Ensure cable is correctly tested, understanding that a basic continuity check may not be
sufficient to identify issues or to certify cable performance.
Always check local regulations relating to building and fire codes.

IR Accessories
Netvio strongly recommends the use of provided IR accessories. Netvio does not support 3rd party IR components because certain voltage
requirements can not be guaranteed. Positioning of IR devices is critical to satisfactory performance. It is often a 2-person task. 1-person firing remote
commands from the display area. 2-person finding the best position on media source. Moving the IR emitter around maybe needed to find the sweep
spot.
IR devices that use the same IR commands will likely receive the commands from other outputs emitters, even if placed on a different shelf. IR bounces
off surfaces, so even if there is no direct line of site, multiple units may respond to each command. Netvio recommends the use of IR emitter shields to
prevent this from happening.
Although we do not recommend the process, Netvio understands that cable modifications maybe needed to connect to some 3rd party devices. Please
see the following schematics.
A basic IR remote is provided to testing purposes or to provide IR frequencies for a learning remote. Basic operation includes the selecting of the
required output, followed by the input selection.

Getting started.
Ensure you have downloaded the latest version of Netvio 360 from
www.netvio.co.uk/download - software is available for both Mac and
PC.
You may get a series of warnings flagged by anti-virus software. As
long as you have downloaded the 360 software direct from the
Netvio website, there is no security risk to your PC or MAC.
A suitable wired and wireless network with a router supporting DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) is required where both
matrix and computer are connected to the same network.
A direct cabled connection between computer and matrix is
supported, with both computer and matrix set to auto assign IP
addresses, where Netvio 360 will auto discover the matrix and guide
you through the set-up.
Once you have downloaded the Netvio 360 utility and established the
matrix and computer on the same network, launch the 360 utility
and Scan for devices. Once discovered, hit configure.

How many times does a system design start out as a
sketch or doodle on a notepad? Netvio 360’s visual
design tool is an extension of precisely that. Add, drag
and drop displays, media sources and audio products.
Finger-draw AV connections, control paths for each
device selecting from IR, RS-232, IP and CEC*, then
group displays into single or expanded zones, add
custom images to area/zone buttons.
What seems to be an innocent line between your on-
screen system components is actually automating
complex micro drivers which form all coding
elements, ready for end-user control via smart
phones and tablets. You are now entering into the
world of Netvio GO.

Once you have finished configuring the matrix you can exit the Netvio 360 platform and download relevant drivers for your
3rd party control system. Available drivers are available at www.netvio.co.uk
Alternatively, you can you proceed and create a Netvio GO project by pressing 'Create APP Project'.
You will enter a drag 'n' drop configuration environment which will be pre-populated with your Netvio device in the center of
the screen together with some other devices to get you started.

Netvio GO is your end-user AV control application, intrinsically linked with 360 software. Working with
Netvio integrated product I/Os, it is possible to remove dedicated control processors from many
applications.
Compatible with iOS, iPadOS and Android, Netvio GO can control any AV device via IR, RS-232, CEC
and IP to manage signal distribution, media sources, displays and audio products. Simply add each
smart user device by scanning a 360 software generated QR code or download the uploaded project
directly from the matrix.
Netvio GO can be used as a simple AV control platform, or complement a traditional control system
by adding secondary zones at effectively zero cost. Simply with your phones camera to start the
process.
