Operation Manual
Ver1.0 Page 1 of 20

1 Introduction
The HD BaseT 4x4 HDMI Matrix with simultaneous CAT5e/6/7 and HDMI
outputs connects our HDMI sources to eight displays. This matrix eatures our
HDMI outputs and each HDMI output is mirrored to provide a CAT-Cable
output which runs simultaneously. It supports the transmission o video
(resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 4Kx2K@30Hz) and supports high
resolution digital audio ormats such as LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby
Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio.Connect a HD BaseT Receiver to each
o the CAT-Cable outputs to extend the HDMI signal up to 328 t/100m (100m
Version) or 230 t/70m(70m version) or multi-room connectivity. It works with
Blu-Ray players, Set-Top boxes, Home Theater PCs, and game consoles that
connect to an HDMI display. Any source is accessible at all times by any display
by selecting it via the supplied IR Remote Control, RS-232, TCP/IP or by using
the selection buttons on the ront panel. This device supports High De inition
Audio, and 3D signal compatibility.

EDID What is it and what is it used for?
Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require
in ormation about a connected device/display to assess what resolutions and
eatures are available. The source can then cater its output to send only
resolutions and eatures that are compatible with the attached device/display.
This in ormation is called EDID (Extended Display In ormation Data)
and a source device can only accept and read one EDID rom a connected
device/display. Likewise, the source an only output one resolution or use by a
connected device/display.
Why is EDID so important with the HDMI Matrix ?
The Matrix is complex piece o technology that replicates and switches between
multiple inputs and outputs. Each connected source device will require one EDID
to read. EDID management is care ully handled by HDMI Matrix to provide a
single EDID or each source to read.
What options do I have to manage the EDID in the HDMI Matrix ?
First, it is important to note that each source device can only output one
video/audio signal type. This includes resolutions and timings. When multiple
devices/displays are used, such as with the HDMI Matrix, it is important to use
devices/displays that have similar or compatible resolutions/ eatures. This will
ensure that the single video/audio signal produced by the source device is
accepted by all o the connected output devices/displays.The user has the option,
Ver1.0 Page 6 of 20

through the EDID management window, to choose how the unit will manage the
EDID rom multiple HDMI devices/displays. There ore the user has some
control over the resolutions/ eatures that the source devices will output. The
HDMI Matrix or has a multiple EDID management modes that will control how
the EDID in ormation rom multiple devices/displays are combined, ignored, and
routed.

7 IR Control system(IR Call-back o
Ver1.0 Page 8 of 20

Matrix and Source Devices)
The matrix is not only a
switcher and extender o
multiple HDMI signals to
multiple HDMI receivers
located remotely, it also passes
IR control signals through the
IR call-back system to the
matrix and HDMI sources or
ull, independent control o all
connected inputs rom output
locations.
Two-way IR Call-back
Between matrix, Sources and
Displays rom Multiple
Locations
A key eature on the matrix is
discrete IR control o the
matrix, sources and displays
rom any location – so inputs
at the matrix end can be
controlled at a display location
and displays can be controlled
at the matrix location. This is
accomplished by placing a series o IR Emitters on devices to control and IR
Receivers at all locations you wish to control rom to enable the IR signal to
travel both ways via the single Cat5e/6/7 cable.
Ver1.0 Page 9 of 20

01. At Matrix end: Insert
the 3.5mm jacks o the IR TX Emitters included with the unit into the IR TX
Emitter ports at the rear o the matrix according to input. The IR signal is added
to the HDMI o the input device so, or example, i the user is watching Blu-ray
on input 1, the IR signal will be directed through the IR TX1 socket to control the
device.
As each IR TX port is allocated to an individual HDMI input port, i the user is
unable to establish IR control o the device, care should be taken to check irstly,
that the IR emitter and HDMI input ports match (Input 1-TX1, Input2-TX2 etc.)
with plugs secured in correct ports, and secondly, that the IR TX emitter sensors
are irmly attached directly to the ront o inputs and covering in rared sensor
windows o the source devices.Some later adjustment may be needed to the
location o the sensor to achieve the best per ormance results - sometimes
moving the sensor to di erent areas on the source can improve IR per ormance.
NOTE: In rared receiving areas o devices can be located by shining a lashlight
onto the ront o the device – the sensor should be able to be seen through the
plastic as a small, round object inside.Insert 3.5mm jacks o IR RX receivers into
RX ports, making sure the receivers themselves are placed in clear view to
receive an in rared signal rom the remote handset used to control the display
outputs.
02. At display end: Insert the IR RX Receiver jack into the IR RX port o the
display receiver balun, with the receivers themselves placed in clear view on or
near the displays to receive an in rared signal rom the remote handset used to
control inputs.Insert the IR TX Emitter jack into the IR TX port o the display
receiver balun, ensuring that the emitter sensor is securely attached to in rared
sensor window o the display.Follow the same connection and positioning or all
baluns/displays connected to the matrix.I all IR TX Emitters and IR RX
Ver1.0 Page 10 of 20

Receivers are positioned and connected correctly with sources, displays and
display receivers ully powered and the matrix set to IR call-back enabled and IR
TX Swicth mode activated, two-way IR will now be possible.
Note: Misplaced or poorly secured IR Emitters and Receivers may result in
intermittent IR control signals passed to and rom the matrix. Check your
placement and adjust i necessary.
