QUICK SETUP GUIDE
TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
ASystem Health LED Indicates whether matrix is turned
on and healthy (green), or if there is an issue present (red).
BNetwork LED Indicates the matrix is connected to the
internet through its network link (green) or if there is an
issue (red).
CCloud LED Indicates the matrix is able to connect to the
Remote Monitoring Portal (green) if there is an issue (red).
DPower Connector Power connector with OFF/ON switch.
Use supplied power cord to connect the power.
EIR Receiver and Transmitter Ports Connect as
required. The IR Out port is to be used to connect input
devices using the supplied IR Emitters.
FAudio Output Optical and Digital Coax options for Source
Audio Breakouts.
GHDBaseT Outputs Connect the appropriate Cat5e or
higher grade cable to each output. These cables should
then be connected to one of the supplied HDBaseT
Receivers at each Sink device. (TV/Amplier etc.).
HHDMI Inputs Connect the appropriate high speed
HDMI cable to each input. These cables should then be
connected to the Source device. (Bluray player etc.)
I
Control IR Input General IR input designed for legacy control
systems or where direct IR input is required (we recommend
the use of our IP driver instead of this port, where applicable).
Please see full manual for more information.
JReset Factory reset - please use only when instructed by
our customer service team.
KGlobal IR Used for a control system to be able to see
all IR signals from all zones. We recommend using a
P8-IR-Optocable for connectivity from this port to your
control system. Please see full manual for more information.
LEthernet Connect to network - required for connection
to Web Interface, Third Party Control and Cloud Remote
Monitoring Portal.
MHDMI Outputs Connect the appropriate high speed
HDMI cable to each output. These cables should then be
directly connected to each Sink device. (TV/Amplier etc.)

SETUP GUIDE
INSTALLING IN A RACK
1. Attach the rack ears to the front sides of the matrix using
the provided screws.
2. Install into rack and connect cabling according to mode of
operation – as described below.
WARNING: To prevent damage, it is important to ensure
adequate ventilation space on the sides of the matrix,
especially on the ventilation openings on the side of the
product enclosure.
CONNECTING THE VIDEO INPUTS
3. Connect HDMI cables from your video sources (e.g. Bluray
player) to the HDMI inputs of the matrix.
Note: It is recommended, for ease of setup, to connect devices
from Input 1 to Input 8, although this is not necessary.
4. Connect the supplied IR Emitter (Identiable by matt
surface) over the source device’s IR window and attach to
the ‘IR Out’ port.
Note: Ensure that the IR Emitter is connected to the same zone
as the source device’s HDMI input (i.e HDMI input 3 and IR 3)
CONNECTING THE HDBaseT VIDEO OUTPUTS
5. Connect the appropriate Cat5e or higher grade cable to
each HDBaseT output port you require.
Note: It is recommended, for ease of setup, to connect devices
from Output 1 to Output 8, although this is not necessary.
6. Complete the connection by
attaching the other end of the
Cat cable to a supplied Receiver’s
‘HDBaseT In’ port. The receiver
should be situated at the output
end (ie. TV).
7.
Attached a supplied IR receiver (shiny surface) into the
Receiver’s IR RX port and attach the bud to the underside of the
sink device with the smallest end forward, as per the diagram.
8. Finish the connection using a the appropriate high speed
HDMI cable from the output device and connect to the
Receiver’s ‘HDMI Out’ port.
CONNECTING THE HDMI VIDEO OUTPUTS
9. For Output ports 9 and 10, connect sink devices directly via
high speed HDMI cables.
Note: Can also be used in conjunction with a HDMI Extender
Set (sold separately) for reaching further distances.
CONNECTING THE AUDIO OUTPUTS
10. If you wish to use the Audio outputs, please connect optical
or digital coax cables to the relevant output.
Note: There is no matrixing for the audio breakouts, they are
matched to the HDMI zone - for example, the audio from
HDMI input 3 will link directly to Audio Output 3.
CONNECTING TO NETWORK
11. Connect a standard Ethernet cable (Category 5e/6/7) from
the matrix’s ‘Ethernet’ port to your router or network
switch. Crossover cables are not supported.
Note: Network connection is required for supporting full
control/remote monitoring features of the product.

TURNING ON THE MATRIX
12. Insert the supplied power cord and plug into the AC mains.
13. Turn ON the power switch.
14. As it powers ON, the front panel LEDs (System Health,
Network, Cloud) will illuminate momentarily before it
begins its initialization sequence.
Note: The initialization process takes between 20 seconds and
up to 2 minutes. However, it is possible that a rmware update
may be available the rst time the unit is powered ON - in this
instance the matrix may take longer to initialize. If both the
System Health and Network LEDs ash (orange/green) quickly
together then a rmware update is being applied. Please wait and
do not disconnect the power until this update has completed.
14. Once initialization has been completed, the System Health,
Network and Cloud LEDs should all appear ON (green).
15. You are now ready to setup the matrix using the web
interface. Please follow the steps in the ‘Connecting to
Admin Web Interface’ section.
CONNECTING TO ADMIN WEB INTERFACE
16. Using a computer connected to same router/network,
access and login to the Web Interface by visiting
www.gotomymatrix.com in your web browser.
17. Activate the administrative
rights by clicking on the
 Cloud Connection tab on
the left hand nav, then click
on the ‘[Admin]’ link at the
foot of the page. The default
password is ‘admin’.
18. Whilst on the  Cloud Connection page, insert your
Installer ID into the box and save changes - this will enable
the matrix to be linked to your monitoring account.
19. Within this interface are many setup options - please refer
to the full installation guide for further details.
Please refer to the full Installation Guide for further details
and a comprehensive web interface guide.
MONITORING PORTAL
The Cloud Monitoring Portal is designed to enable installers
to check and diagnose minor issues without requiring a site
visit.
Once a matrix is linked to an Installer ID, the matrix will be
visable on the monitoring portal for that installer.
The Monitoring Portal also features:
- Latest documentation
- Further technical resources
- 3rd party control drivers
Please visit http://monitoring.phdsolutions.co and login.
If you do not have a login or Installer ID, then please contact
your sales representative who will be able to help.
