1. INTRODUCTION
This 4×6 HDMI/HDBaseT Matrix supports routing and transmission of
video (resolutions up to 4K@60Hz w/ HDMI 2.0 & HDCP 2.2) and audio
(multi-channel digital/stereo analog) while providing fl exible control
via IR, RS-232, Telnet or WebGUI. As many as four HD sources may be
routed to any of six destinations via a single Cat.5e/6/7 cable (up to
60m at 1080p or up to 40m at 4K@30Hz). The two HDMI 2.0 outputs
support transmission of 6G UltraHD HDMI sources (up to 4K@60Hz, 4:4:4)
from any HDMI input or they can mirror any of the HDBaseT outputs
for local monitoring. 3D video is also supported when compatible
sources and displays are connected. This product supports passing
7.1 channel LPCM digital audio as well as advanced bitstream and
HD bitstream audio formats. Additionally, four analog audio outputs
are available to provide stereo breakout audio from the associated
HDBaseT output (LPCM 2.0 sources only).
The Power over HDBaseT (PoH) function can power compatible
receivers, providing greater fl exibility in your installations. Control is via
manual selection buttons, WebGUI, Telnet, RS-232 or IR remote.

1HDMI IN & IR OUT 1~4: Connect up to 4 source devices to the
HDMI ports using appropriate quality HDMI cables. Input source
devices include Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, game systems
and so on. These inputs are DVI-D compliant (with the use of
DVI to HDMI adapters or cables). Attach IR blasters to the IR Out
ports to transmit the IR signals received from connected HDBaseT
Receivers. The IR signal routing follows the HDMI signal routing.
Note: The use of “Premium High Speed HDMI” cables is highly
recommended.
2HDMI OUT E & F: Connect up to 2 HDMI displays using these HDMI
output ports. These two HDMI ports can be either independent

high bandwidth (6G) outputs, or they can be confi gured to mirror
two of the HDBaseT outputs for local monitoring or recording
purposes.
Note: 4K signals with HDR (High Dynamic Range) or Deep Color
are supported by the 2 HDMI output ports, however they are not
supported by the HDBaseT outputs due to bandwidth limitations.
If your HDR source needs to be output over the HDBaseT outputs
please remember to disable the HDR support on your source
device or use a non-HDR supporting EDID.
3CAT5e/6 OUT & IR IN A~D: Connect the Cat.5e/6 outputs via an
appropriate cable to the input ports of compatible HDBaseT
receivers for HDMI audio/video and IR/RS-232 control signal
transmission. In order for an IR signal to be transmitted along
with the HDMI signal an IR extender must be connected to the
associated IR In port. IR signals coming back from the connected
HDBaseT receiver can be used to control the matrix remotely
and will also be broadcast from IR blasters connected to the
appropriate IR Out/All IR Out ports.
Note: 4K signals with HDR (High Dynamic Range) or Deep Color
are supported by the 2 HDMI output ports, however they are not
supported by the HDBaseT outputs due to bandwidth limitations.
If your HDR source needs to be output over the HDBaseT outputs
please remember to disable the HDR support on your source
device or use a non-HDR supporting EDID.
4IR IN (ALL): Connect an IR extender to this port for IR signal
reception. All IR signals received will be broadcast by all IR blasters
connected to the matrix or connected HDBaseT receivers. Please
ensure that the remote being used is within direct line-of-sight of
the IR extender.
5IR OUT (ALL): Connect an IR Blaster to this port to broadcast IR
signals. All IR signals received by any IR extenders connected to
the matrix or HDBaseT receivers will be broadcast. Please place the
IR Blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled.
6AUDIO OUT A~D: Four sets of stereo analog audio outputs. These
audio ports mirror the audio output from the associated HDBaseT
output (LPCM 2.0 sources only).

6.8 RS-232 and Telnet Commands
6.8.1 Command Syntax
The RS-232/Telnet command structure for this unit is both fl exible and
powerful, and allows for a parameter to be set across multiple ports
simultaneously within a single command transmission. This section will
detail the command syntax used to send both simple (single port)
commands as well as the more complex commands.
The following multi-function syntax is specifi cally for use with these
commands: “HDMI_Out” and “HDBT_Out”. “ZoneAvPair” has a special
structure that will be explained separately. All other commands must
be sent within discrete transmissions.
• Basic Command Format
Use this syntax to set or change a single parameter for a single input/
output port.
<Command> {Port} {Parameter [= Value]}
Examples: HDMI_Out F VideoSrc=1
HDBT_Out A VideoSrc=3
• Basic Command Format (ZoneAvPair)
The ZoneAvPair command requires multiple variables to defi ne the
location of the slot’s value to adjust. This command only accepts 2
possible parameters: “VideoSrc” and “Load”. Use the following syntax
to set or change a single parameter for a single slot assigned to an
HDBaseT or HDMI output port.
ZoneAvPair HDBT_Out {Port} Slot {Slot} {Parameter [= Value]}
Examples: ZoneAvPair HDBT_Out B Slot 5 VideoSrc = HDMI_In 2
ZoneAvPair HDMI_Out F Slot 3 Load
• Multi-Port Command Format
Use the following syntax to set or change a single parameter for
multiple ports. Note that each additional port uses the “+” character
for separation. The number of ports allowed in a single command is
limited by the number of ports on that specifi c interface.

11
11
<Command> {Port1}+{Port2}+{Etc.} {Parameter [= Value]}
Examples: HDMI_Out E+F VideoSrc=1
HDBT_Out A+B+C VideoSrc=3
• Multi-Slot Command Format (ZoneAvPair)
The ZoneAvPair command allows for multiple slots on a single HDBaseT
or HDMI output to be assigned the same value simultaneously. Use
the following syntax to accomplish this. Note that each additional slot
uses the “+” character for separation. The number of slots allowed in
a single command is limited by the number of slots on that specifi c
interface.
ZoneAvPair HDBT_Out {Port} Slot {Slot1}+{Slot2}+{Etc.} {Param [= Value]}
Example: ZoneAvPair HDBT_Out B Slot 1+3+5 VideoSrc = HDMI_In 2
