INTRODUCTION
Wyrestorm’s MAT8T820 is an 8-by-8 DVI/HDMI true matrix. It allows any of the eight source
(Blue-Ray player, HD DVD player, satellite receiver, game system, etc.) to be routed to any of
the eight displays simultaneously, no matter the source is HDCP or not. Users can choose several
different ways to control the matrix: by using infrared extension receiver, RS232, RS485, LAN,
and supplied remote control. IR emitters in the matrix are for controlling the sources; the IR
control signal could be from remote locations via STP/UTP type HDMI connection on the rear
panel.
MAT8T820 has the ability of equalization and amplification to ensure HDMI signal's
transmission through long cable without quality loss. The transmission distance of STP/UTP
outputs reaches up to 30 meters under the video format of 1080P, together with infrared control
signal.
MAT8T820offers solutions for digital entertainment center, HDTV retail and show site, HDTV,
STB, DVD and projector factory, noise, space and security concerns, data center control,
information distribution, conference room presentation, school and corporate training
environments.

CONNECT AND OPERATION
1) Connect the HDMI input sources (such as HD-DVD, PS3, STB etc) into MAT8T820
2) Connect the standard HDMI outputs (such as HD-LCD, HD-DLP) into MAT8T820.
3) Connect two CAT-5E cables to both the STP/UTP outputs of MAT8T820and inputs of
STP/UTP receiver (such as EXT131/33/51/53 etc). Please pay attention to the sequence
of the two cables, CAT5e-1->CAT5e1, CAT5e-2->CAT5e2. (The cable termination must
follow the standard of EIA/TIA 568B, if Single UTP mode, just connect CAT5E-2)
4) Connect the HDMI output (such as: HD-LCD.HD-DLP) into the STP/UTP receiver.
5) Connect the IR RX receiving cable into STP/UTP receiver IR RX and connect The IR
TX cable into MAT8T820 IR emitter.

6) Power on the input source you want to show. (Keep the unused input power off,
otherwise it may interfere the normal display.)
7) Connect the power supply into MAT8T820
8) Turn on the power, when the LED panel stops flashing circularly, the initialization of the
matrix is ready.
9) Turn on the displays you want to watch.
10)Use the remote supplied or push the button on the front panel to choose input source, or
using infrared extension receiver, RS232, RS485 or LAN port to do the control.
