Introduction
The HDMI over IP solution includes transmitters and receivers which can be used as
point to point extenders up to 120m or when connected to a Gigabit LAN they can
create a matrix with up to 99 inputs to any number of outputs. Transmitters encode
the HDMI source to H.264 and stream the signals to Receivers on a Gigabit LAN.
The matrix is controlled using Infra-Red at the receiver, front panel buttons on the
receiver or for centralized control a PC application, web browser or ISO Android
APP. The units also route infra-red signals for controlling the source devices such as
DVD, SAT.
These devices support resolutions up to 4K and can transmit in excess of 100m when
connected to a gigabit LAN. Each receiver has EDID copy capability ensuring
compatibility with displays creating a true plug & play system.

Connection iagram
Fig: 2
Connecting Transmitters
1. Connect the HDMI cable between the transmitter and the source device
(maximum length 5m).
2. Connect and power the transmitter and wait for the LED panel to display (TX
ID) “ 00”.
3. Using the buttons to the left and right of the numerical display, change the TX
ID to a unique number. It's important to have unique numbers for every
transmitter installed.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the transmitter and the Gigabit switch.
Connecting Receivers
1. Connect the HDMI cable between the receiver and the source device
(maximum length 5m).
2. Connect and power the receiver and wait for the LED panel to display (RX ID)
“ 00” and (TX Connected) “00”.
3. Using the buttons to the left and right of the (RX ID) numerical display, change
the RX ID to a unique number. It's important to have unique numbers for every
receiver installed.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the receiver and the Gigabit switch.
Connecting the Controller
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the controller and the Gigabit switch.
2. Connect the power supply.

Matrix control using PC Application
Preparing your PC
Step 1: Connect your PC, transmitters and receivers to the Ethernet switch as shown
in Fig: 2.
Step 2: On your PC, go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network
Connections > Local Area Connections, right click on it and choose Properties.
Double click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP IPv4)
Choose “Use the following IP address”, for example 192.168.1.111 as your PC IP
address, 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask, then click “OK”.
8

1. Install and run the application program “Matrix Control Centre”.
2. To locate the devices connected on your LAN, click “Start Scan”.
For larger systems the “Device Scan Time” should be increased.
9

IP Settings
The transmitters and receivers have default IP address, transmitter (192.168.1.238)
and the receiver (192.168.1.239).
The units are designed to work on a LAN without needing to change IP address, even
though there are multiple units on the same LAN. The proprietary firmware will
automatically detect and issue IP addresses to transmitters and receivers as the are
connected.
Should you need to change the IP addresses, click the “Tx_setup” and “Rx_setup” to
open the IP address dialogue box.
10

Editing Device Names
To edit and change the device name, double click on the transmitter or
receiver to open the “Change Name” dialogue box.
Changing the device name will help identify the devices when controlling
the matrix.
11

Setting Matrix Inputs/Outputs
Click in the TX Connected arrow at the end of the receiver name to open
the drop down dialogue box. Select the transmitter you want to display of
the receiver display then click “Update”. The receiver will now show the
current transmitter number. Several changes can be made before updating.
12

Creating Modes (Scenarios)
The matrix can be configured to have several modes, also known as scenarios. Modes
are configurations of preset inputs to outputs that are frequently used. Creating modes
and saving them will allow you to change inputs to outputs with a single click.
To create a mode:-
1. Click on the “pre edit mode” tab at the top of the dialogue box.
2. Select all the inputs to outputs for your mode.
3. Click “SAVE MODE” to open the mode dialogue box.
4. Click “OK” to save.
Several modes can be saved to create easy switching.
