Connection
Before connecting the HDMI AV Matrix Extender with an Ethernet Hub/Switch, please read the notices
mentioned below
1. When grouping the network of HDMI AV matrix Extender/Video wall, a Gigabit Ethernet Hub/Switch
is necessary due to the requirement of bandwidth. The required bandwidth for each channel may up
to 200mb/sec. To ensure the better quality of transmission, a reputable name brand hub/switch is
recommended.
2. Gigabit Ethernet Switch/HUB with feature of Jumbo Frame is required, other specs like IGMP
Snooping, IGMP Querier,IGMP v2 and IGMP Fast Leave are strongly recommended. If more than one
transmitter connects to the same network segment without support of IGMP Querier by Switch/Hub,
the HDMI AV Matrix Extender may work incorrectly. For more setting details of these functions, refer
to the Hub/Switch's instruction manual.
Note: The diagrams below are examples, the actual applications may vary.

Note:
■For the better performance of video and matrix display, using the same brand, size and model monitors are strongly
recommended.
■The lag of displays may occur sometimes. The image quality is depending on the speed of network or the equipments, such
as the grade of hub.
Bi-directional IR connection
The HDMI AV Matrix Extender provides bi-directional IR extension between the transmitter and receiver
over the CATx cable. Place the IR receiver near the sender unit, such as a remote control, and the other
end to the jack of IR RECEIVER (remote or local unit of HDMI AV Matrix Extender). Place the IR Emitter to
somewhere face the IR receiver of A/V source, and the other end to the jack of IR EMITTER (remote or
local unit of HDMI AV Matrix Extender). The IR signal can be transmitted forward or backward. Refer to
the illustration below to outline the connection of transmitter and receiver.
