Wyrestorm MX-0808-PP-AUD User manual

For connection to third party amplification, connect an optical cable
from the S/PDIF Out port of the transmission module to selected AV
receiver or power amplifier
Connect HDMI display devices to the HDMI OUT ports of display
receivers. Connect the matrix to a mains power supply using the
power cable included and power on the matrix.
Check the front panel LED display is lit to indicate the matrix is
powered.
Receivers are not powered remotely via PoH from the matrix so
mains power is required at display locations. Insert the 12v mains
power adaptors included.
Check POWER, STATUS & LINK lights are illuminated on the receiver
to indicate successful connection.
NOTE: STATUS and HDCP LEDs should blink, POWER and
LINK are static LEDs.
Basic I/O switching is via the matrix front panel. OUTPUTS are
selected by pressing the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to scroll
forwards and backwards numerically through the displays connected
to the matrix. The corresponding OUTPUT channel number will blink
on the display when reached.
UP and DOWN arrow buttons scroll numerically through any INPUT
sources connected. When the desired OUTPUT and INPUT is
reached, push the ENTER button to confirm the selection. The
display will stop blinking to confirm matrix I/O has been set.
Basic Signal IR/RS232 Control
Connect IR emitters from the matrix IR TX ports to the IR receiving
areas of sources, firmly attaching emitter eyes onto sources.
For use with a control system, IR Link cables (sold separately) should
be connected from the matrix IR RX ports to the controller used.
For an RS232-based control system, RS232 cables should be used
from matrix to control system and between receivers and display
device.
At display locations, connect IR emitters from the display receiver
IR TX ports to the IR receiving areas of the display devices and IR
receivers from IR RX ports on/near the device with clear line of sight
to the handset used to control.
NOTE: Emitter eye position on device IR receiving areas may
need to be adjusted later to achieve best IR performance.
Quickstart Guide
WyreStorm 8x8 HDBaseT Matrix Switcher with S/PDIF
Optical and Stereo Audio Outputs and 2-Way IR
MX-0808-PP-AUD
Before Installation
Do Not Hotplug! - insert and extract cables carefully with the
power SWITCHED OFF. Connecting/disconnecting while the unit
is powered can result in damage to circuitry.
We recommend using the supplied mounting brackets to secure
the matrix and display receivers as sudden movement of these
devices could lead to loss of picture or sound if connections
become loose or strained, resulting in unnecessary service call
backs
Remember, always switch off the matrix before unplugging any
inputs or outputs – follow last on, first off protocol.
Basic Connection and Operation
Connect HDMI sources to HDMI Inputs 1-8 of the matrix using HDMI
cable from quality brand such as WyreStorm Express.
Connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat6 cable of no more than
70m/230ft from matrix HDBT output ports 1-8 to UTP IN ports of
connected display receivers.
NOTE: Although WyreStorm products are tested with Cat5e,
we recommend Cat6 as standard due to increased bandwidth
and improved capacity for handling large transmissions along
a single cable.
If connecting to additional Audio Outputs, connect the a 3.5mm
cable from the L/R OUT port to your chosen device (such as multi-
room audio system)

Troubleshooting
Regardless of manufacturer or product, the majority of installation
diculties can typically be attributed to communication problems
between devices or when high bandwidth transmissions are attempted
with insucient cable/connections. Should you nd yourself in such a
situation, we have drawn up the following checklist of general issues
and causes that should help you shoot your way out of trouble without
seeking further assistance.
No or poor quality picture?
Device Connection - Are you connected and powered? Double check
all HDMI, UTP and power connections are rmly inserted into correct
ports and that all devices are powered.
NOTE: This product does not support PoH remote power of
display receivers. Connected receivers must be individually mains
powered.
Cable length – is your signal struggling to transmit signals or power
the distance of your cable? You may be experiencing interference that
exceeds the maximum capacity of your transmission cable distance.
Make sure you are within specied cable distances for this product and
check cable and connection condition and installation environment for
issues.
Try a shorter cable run, an extender with a longer range or EDID
management of the matrix - see full manual for EDID DIP switch settings.
Signal strength – please note the use of cable joins, stranded patch
panels, wall outlets and stranded patch leads as interconnects between
them, can signicantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core, straight
through connections wherever possible.
Resolution - If you reduce the resolution of the source, do you get a
picture? If so, this suggests a conicting resolution between source and
display or a bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs
and outputs share the same resolution and make sure the signal is being
successfully transmitted the full length of your cable run.
Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ – signies a failure to fully establish a signal
and can often be caused by poorly terminated HDMI connectors or
excessive cable lengths. If using an extender set with this product, ensure
your cable is correctly wired to 568B standards. Try swapping in a display
and receiver from a fully functioning location – if the problem continues
on the same output, turn o all equipment and swap your signal carrying
cables at both ends.
Cable quality and condition – HDMI cable/connectors can be easily
damaged and the quality of material can vary, especially in lower price
brackets. Successful transmission of video, audio and control, can all be
aected by cable and termination quality. Always use good quality leads
and cables. Should transmission problems be experienced, try swapping
cables/leads for those already working to see if this improves your image
to identify cable issue as source of problem.
Blu-Ray, 3D - Make sure all your equipment has been congured
and enabled to transmit and accept the signal, or is capable of passing
a signal. Are resolutions between source and display compatible and
cable adequate for the large bandwidth required by Blu-ray and 3D
transmissions?
4K - Are you trying to pass a 4K signal or are you combining 4K and
HD sources and displays? This product does not support 4K. For full list
of our 4K product range, please visit out website at wyrestorm.com
See full manual or product web page at wyrestorm.com for full
specication.
IR Control
Check the IR receiving window of the matrix or the IR EXT receiver
is unobstructed and able to receive IR signals from the remote handset
used to control the matrix.
Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible
to the naked eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing
the remote handset sensor through a digital camera/camera phone – the
emitter on the handset should ash when a button on the handset is held
down.
IR signal dropout can be experienced due to environmental infrared
radiation. Ensure the matrix IR receiving window or IR EXT receiver are
away from direct sunlight, halogen lighting and plasma screens that may
interfere with IR signals.
Safety Recommendations:
Do not expose this apparatus to any form of moisture, including the
placement of anything containing liquids on the unit.
To prevent risk of electric shock or re hazard, ensure apparatus is
installed in an unobstructed, well ventilated area away from any external
heat sources - including other electrical devices which may produce heat.
Only use attachments / accessories specied by the manufacturer and
refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.
Failure to adhere to these recommendations may invalidate your
warranty.
