HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and
electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse effect on
HDMI or HDBaseT transmission limiting performance. Steps should be
taken to minimize these factors (or remove completely) during installation
for best results.
• While similar in nature, the HDBaseT protocol is different than Ethernet and
voltages provided for PoH can be higher than those provided by PoE. For
this reason, never connect an HDBaseT link to an Ethernet router or switch
to avoid damaging the connected devices.
Wiring for HDBaseT follows the EIA T568B standard.

Resolution Distances
The type of category cable used and the distance between the matrix and
receiver can restrict the available video resolution.
Refer to Video Resolutions in the Specications table for the max distance
based on resolution.
IR Wiring
IR TX (Emitter) Wiring
Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
Tip: IR Signal
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
IR RX/Ext (Receiver) Wiring
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs
+5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
IMPORTANT!
3rd party IR receivers may require a different voltage, refer to the
documentation provided with the IR receiver before making any connections
to avoid damaging the device.
Tip:
Ring: IR Signal
+5V DC
Sleeve: Ground (GND)
RS-232 Wiring
RS-232 Connection Guidelines
The following wiring diagram shows the pinouts for the extender set. While
not shown, connect the TX (transmit) to RX (receive) pins at the control
system or PC side of the cable. Most control systems and computers are
DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from device to device. Refer to the
documentation for the connected device for pin functionally to ensure that the
correct connections can be made.

EDID Settings
EDIDs can be congured to resolve issues with video output on displays that
may not accept the maximum resolution available from the source.
• When set to Smart EDID (default) the matrix will scan all selected displays
for the lowest resolution.
• When EDID Copy or a direct EDID is being used, SmartEDID is turned Off.
• Ensure that a display is connected and powered On to the selected output
before copying EDIDs or the copy will fail. When this occurs, EDID will be
set to 4K@30Hz 2ch.
• Power to the matrix must be cycled (Off/On) after changing dip switches in
order for the setting to take effect.

Copying EDIDs
1. Set the EDID dipswitch to the Front Panel, Web UI or API EDID Control
(all switches up).
2. Reboot the matrix.
3. Using the front navigation buttons, select the input port for the output.
Example: Input 2 for Output 2
4. Once the output port indicator blinks, press and hold Enter for 5
seconds. An OK message of the display indicates that the copy was
successful, an FL-2 indicates that the copy failed.
5. Reboot the matrix.
Note: EDID Copy feature is not available when Matrix in Smart EDID mode.

Troubleshooting
No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)
• Verify that power is being supplied to the transmitter and receiving device
and that both devices are powered on.
Note: When using PoH, to power the transmitter, verify that the HDBaseT cable
is properly terminated per the HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring section.
• Verify that the transmitter supports the output resolution of the source. See
Supported Video Resolutions.
• Verify that the receiving device and display support the output resolution of
the source.
• If transmitting 3D or 4K, verify that the HDMI cables used are 3D and/or 4K
rated.
• Verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated per the HDMI/
HDBaseT Wiring section.
• Verify that all source and HDBaseT connections are not loose and are
functioning properly.
No or Intermittent Matrix or 3rd party Device Control
• Verify that IR and RS-232 cable(s) are properly terminated per the
appropriate wiring section:
• IR: IR Wiring
• RS-232: RS-232 Wiring
• Verify that the IR emitter is located over or near the IR sensor on the device.
Move the emitter closer or further from the sensor as the IR signal can be
too strong in some cases.
• Verify that the IR receiver is in line of sight of the hand-held remote.
Troubleshooting Tips:
• WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable to
other devices to verify functionality.
• Use a flashlight to locate the IR receiver behind any tinted panels on the
device being controlled. It will likely appear as a small round disc.
