4x4 HDMI HDBT Matrix System with Scaler
18Gbps 4Kx2K@60Hz
1. Introduction
The 18Gbps 4x4 HDMI HDBT Matrix System with Scaler can connect four HDMI sources to
eight displays. It features four HDMI outputs and each HDMI output is mirrored to provide a
CAT-Cable output which runs simultaneously. HDBT output can extend video transmission
distance up to 492ft / 150m via a single Cat 5e/6/7 cable and the resolution is up to
4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4. Audio de-embedded to analog and coaxial audio is supported. Each HDMI
output supports 4K2K to 1080P downscale independently.
The product supports IR matrix. The IR signal is one-to-one control at the Matrix end, but the IR
signal follows HDMI video channel at the HDBT Receiver end. The product provides an intuitive
set of front panel with OLED screen and supports control via front panel buttons, IR remote, RS-
232, LAN, and Web GUI.

7. IR Control System
The product is not only a matrix switch but also an extender. It supports bi-directional IR
control. When Matrix is connected to HDBT Receiver through Cat 5e/6/7 cable, you can
control remote display device (HDBT) or input source device (Matrix) through IR signal
transmission. But you must note that the IR signal transmission method is different from the
method from Matrix (local) to HDBT Receiver (remote) and from HDBT Receiver
(remote) to Matrix (local).
At the Matrix end (Local end): the IR signal is one-to-one transmission. For example, the
IR IN 1 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBT Receiver 1, and the
IR IN 3 port signals of the Matrix will emit to IR OUT port of the HDBT Receiver 3. It doesn’t
follow the video switch to change. IR IN ALL port signal of the Matrix will emit to all IR OUT ports
of HDBT receivers simultaneously. Please see the following connection diagram.

Stock Code 873117 en.rgble.com 400-1661-021
P/N:M01405
Figure 1: IR connection diagram (Matrix end)
At HDBT receiver (Remote end): IR signal follows video switch to change. For example,
the HDMI output signal on the HDBT Receiver 1 is from the HDMI INPUT 2 port, so IR
input signal of the HDBT Receiver 1 will emit to IR OUT 2 port of the Matrix. The HDMI
output signal on the HDBT Receiver 3 is from the HDMI INPUT 4 port. Then, IR input
signal of the HDBT Receiver 3 will emit to IR OUT 4 port of the Matrix etc. Any of
HDBT Receiver’s IR IN signal can output from IR OUT ALL port of the Matrix and the
IR OUT ALL signal of the Matrix depends on your IR remote of source device. Please see
the following connection diagram.

9. EDID Management
This Matrix has 21 factory defined EDID settings, 2 user-defined EDID modes and 16 copy
EDID modes. You can select defined EDID mode or copy EDID mode to input port through on-
panel button, RS-232 control or Web GUI.
On-panel button operation: On the initial OLED display screen, press “MENU” button to enter
the EDID setting interface, press “UP/DOWN” button to select the required EDID, and press
the “ENTER” button to enter “Copy to Input:” interface. Then press “UP/DOWN” button to select
the input port you need to set, and press “ENTER” button again to confirm this operation.
RS-232 control operation: Connect the Matrix to PC with a serial cable, then open a Serial
Command tool on PC to send ASCII command “s edid in x from z!” to set EDID. For details,
please refer to “EDID Setting” in the ASCII command list of “11. RS-232 Control Command”.
Web GUI Operation: Please check the EDID management in the “Input page” of “10. Web
GUI User Guide”.

10. Web GUI User Guide
The Matrix can be controlled by Web GUI. The operation method is shown as below:
Step 1: Get the current IP Address.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.100. You can get the current Matrix IP address in two ways:
The first way: You can get the IP address via panel buttons. On the initial OLED display, press
“MENU” button three times to enter the IP interface and check the current IP address.
The second way: You can get the IP address via RS-232 control. Send the ASCII command
“ r ipconfig!” through a Serial Command tool, then you’ll get the feedback information as shown
below:
IP:192.168.61.103 in the above figure is the current Matrix IP address (this IP address is
variable, depending on what the specific machine returns).
For the details of RS-232 control, please refer to “11. RS-232 Control Command”.
Step 2: Connect the TCP/IP port of the Matrix to a PC with an UTP cable (as shown in the
following figure), and set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment with
