1FUNCTION
The 4K-9:9 is designed to offer the most compact and functional 1U rackmount option for your HDBaseT
extension requirements.
The unit is designed to provide 9 transparent paths through the unit, a modular system on the front of the unit
provides 9 slots which can each be fitted with a remote transmitter, a remote receiver or a passive HDMI
module and each of these has a corresponding HDMI port on the rear of the chassis which is bidirectional
dependant on the module being utilized.
The current solutions for point-to-point HDBaseT distribution would require the purchase of a costly HDBaseT
matrix or a bespoke solution to mount point-to-point products in to a rack space format. The use of a matrix
would be cost ineffective as a premium would be paid for the functionality of a matrix without ever being utilized.
The rack mounting of point-to-point products would have one benefit in the cost being reduced but with all of
the cabling for power supplies and signal cables being required, access to the IO would need to be maintained.
As a consequence, a max of 1 or 2 units could be mounted per 1U shelf. Where rack space is at a premium
this is obviously not desirable and the look of cables routing around shelves with external power bricks also
visible leaves a very unprofessional looking installation as well as making maintenance challenging.
The 4K-9:9 finds a perfect sweet spot to combine the benefits experienced with cabling of a rack mounted
matrix solution but at a reduced cost whilst being able to combine 9 point-to-point solutions in to a 1U space.
With the combination of space saving and cost effectiveness the 4K-9:9 still offers a great feature set. Able to
handle resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160) @ 30Hz, when used with transmitter or receiver modules able to
provide power to remote units from the compatible 4Konnect family and also able to send bi-directional RS232
and infra-red signally for integration with control systems or to provide control to the end user.
Like all products within the 4Konnect family the 4K-9:9 can be utilized with inexpensive CATx cable to enable
the transmission of UHD signals at up to 100m. The remote HDBaseT modules can be set up to operate at
up to 150m with a maximum resolution of 1080p, if this is required please notify our sales team upon
placement of your order.

7BASIC SETUP
1. Attach all input and output connections on the rear of the 4K-9:9 including:
➢HDMI cables
➢RS232 connections
➢Infra-red transmitters (SM-LED)
➢Infra-red receivers (SM-EYEN)
2. Attach all inputs and outputs on the front of the 4K-9:9 including:
➢HDMI cables
➢CAT6a HDBaseT cables
➢Infra-red peripherals for 4K-MOD-IO modules
3. Ensure any remote HDBaseT transmitters and receivers are connected to the other end of any
HDBaseT inputs or outputs of the 4K-9:9. Ensure CATx cable has been tested and terminated to the
specification as outlined in the HDBASET CABLING section of this manual.
4. Apply power to the rear of the 4K-9:9 via the C14 IEC inlet. Ensure the outlet used has surge protection
to ensure the unit is as isolated as possible from any external electrical failures.
5. When power is applied ensure that the green and amber LEDs on any fitted 4K-MOD-TXF or 4K-MOD-
RXF modules are all illuminated. This is the only outward notification of power on the 4K-9:9 as it has
no dedicated power LED. If all of the LEDs are not illuminated it would suggest a power issue, check
the mains connection by removing from the 4K-9:9 and inserting in to another device such as a PC
or monitor to check the mains feed is working.
6. For any further fault finding it is advised to refer to the 4K-866 manual and using the status LEDs on
these units in conjunction with the manual to identify where any problems may lie.

8HDBASET CABLING
It is advised to use T568B termination for all cabling used in conjunction with the 4K-9:9.
NOTE: As the 4K-9:9 utilises power over cable (POC), if the CATx cable is incorrectly terminated there is
a danger of damaging the 4K-9:9, the installed modules and any remote transmit or receive devices
attached. If you suspect an incorrectly terminated cable may have been applied, please contact Smart-e
support immediately.
HDBaseT signals can be susceptible to noise, causing image loss or snowy effects on output screens. The
best way to mitigate against these problems is by using a high quality CATx cable. Smart-e specify cable as
below.
RECOMMENDED CATx CABLE
Connectix CAT6a U/FTP Solid core cable
