CAUTION
HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the signal
and the same video resolution and audio settings on all electronic equipment in the
system. When there are multiple sources and displays, the video resolution and
audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted to correspond with that of the
display having the lowest video and audio capability.

INTRODUCTION
The Evolution by Vanco EVMX4016 16X16 Matrix with HDBaseT Technology, Wide-band IR, and PoE is
an HD switching and extension system that comprises of an 16 input/16 output matrix unit. Have 16
sources displayed simultaneously on any display or have a single source duplicated on multiple displays,
exibility for the perfect solution. Features HDBaseT (70m/230ft) technology, which allows for audio,
4K 2160p/30hZ video, IR, and Power over Cable to be transferred over a single Cat5e/6/7 cable.
Extends 1080p resolutions up to 230ft (70m) over a single Cat5e/6 cable and 2160p/30hZ (4K2K)
resolutions up to 131ft (40m). Also features Power over Ethernet (PoE) Technology which transmits
power over Cat5e/6, allowing for Receiver unit to be powered without the use of a power supply. The
result is an easy and plug and play solution that allows each output with the ability to extend HDMI over
long distances in conjunction with the Evolution by Vanco HDBaseT (70m/230ft) receiver EVRX3000
(sold separately). Features additional HDMI output per HDBaseT output for exibility or mirroring
capability, able to handle up to 32 displays. With an output bandwidth of 6.75 Gbps, the EVMX4016
is capable of high denition video and multi-channel audio distribution with simple control using the front
panel or remotely via IR Receivers at display locations. Includes RS-232 connectivity for third party
integration for control and switching, as well as IP control along with LAN connectivity for IP control
and switching remotely, using a smartphone or tablet. Also features EDID management system, which
allows and encourages device communication compatibility for seamless integration. For longer length
applications with full exibility for control, the EVMX4016 is a great solution.

EDID
EDID Settings:
There are nine embedded default EDID settings as shown below:
EDID
EDID management allows for EDID learning or to pre-set an EDID to encourage a “handshake” between the
display and source.
The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever any display on the HDMI output port is not outputting
audio and video properly. Because the HDMI source devices and displays may have various level of capability in
playing audio and video, the general principle is that the source device will output the lowest standards in audio
format and video resolutions to be acceptable among all HDMI displays connected. In this case, a 720p stereo
HDMI signal output would be probably the safest choice. The EDID function can also force the matrix to learn
the EDID of the lowest capable HDMI display among others to make sure all displays are capable to play the
HDMI signals normally.
There are 3 methods for EDID Learning as shown below:
1. IR Remote Control: Please refer to the Operation Control - IR Remote Control
2. Software Control: Please refer to the Operation Control - Software Control through RS-232 and LAN port
3. Web Interface Control: Please refer to the Operation Control – Web Interface Control
