■

Installation details and cautions

!

Before installation a) Prepare place for installing system. If you want to install HDMI

4x4 matrix on walls, selecting metal brackets (included) please. b) The matrix should be far away from electromagnetic disturbance sources. Such as AC motors, electro soldering, fluorescents, microwave ovens, etc. These disturbance sources might affect video quality. c) Ensure the length of cable is suitable, no external tensions. d) Ensure reliable AC plug base.

!

Typical installation instruction

Connecting HDMI video source to 4x4 matrix HDMI input ports 1 to 4, and connect HDMI sinks to HDMI output ports A to D, or extend HDMI output by UTP cat5e/6 cable from 4 UTP output ports A to D, for UTP extender application, a remote UTP receiver extender will be installed at the side of HDMI video sinks. Moreover, there can connect IR transmitter to IR output 1 to 4, as well connect IR receiver to IR input A to D, all these local IR input and output could exchange with IR input or output of remote UTP extender receiver side with same switch control code of 4x4

4. Operation instruction

■

Getting started

After finishing all steps above, system is workable, follow below steps. a) Ensure the video source and the display terminal are power on. b) Ensure all input, output HDMI and IR cables are connected. c) Inset DC IN power adapter into AC plug base, and press power switch to ‘ON’, then ‘Power’ indicator will light. d) It takes about 4~5 seconds to finish EDID and other initialization automatically. e) One of 4 HDMI input ‘Status’ indicators for HDMI out A or B will light; it means one of input HDMI videos is choose and video signal is OK. f) At this time, display terminal will show the same format video that video source send out.

HDMI 4x4 Matrix

The product has 4 HDMI input, and 4 HDMI/UTP output, and all

HDMI ports support HDMI 1.3 standard. 4 HDMI/UTP outputs can select any one of 4 HDMI different inputs, or same HDMI inputs. The user can control 4x4 matrix by front panel button, local IR remote, RS232 or local

100M LAN Ethernet port.

HDMI 4x4 Matrix

4 terminals which is in remoted rooms, but also can pass the IR signal through with HDMI matrix and support the bi-direction, that means the user can place remoted HDMI display terminals side, when input HDMI source is changed,

IR route will also be changed to point to new selected HDMI source, and no need to change IR extension transmitter position. Contrarily the user can also sources side, and place IR transmitters connected to the extender IR output

■

4x4 IR matrix to control HDMI source device

The matrix cannot only switch the HDMI source signal to HDMI sink which is in remote rooms, but also can pass the IR signal through the

4x4 IR matrix, and IR matrix share the same control and transmission route with HDMI matrix but with the bi-direction, that means the user can place IR extension receiver A (IR input port of UTP output A extender receiver) near HDMI output sink A and IR extension receiver B(IR input port of UTP output B extender receiver) near HDMI output sink B, as so on IR receiver C and IR receiver D; as well fix 4 IR extension transmitter

1,2,3,4(IR output 1,2,3,4 port) aimed to IR window of 4 HDMI input source 1,2,3,4, so the user can easily to control selected input HDMI source in remote HDMI sink side, moreover when input HDMI source is changed, IR route will also be changed to point to new selected HDMI source, and no need to change IR extension transmitter position by hand.

Contrarily the user can also place IR receiver on matrix IR input port A,

B, C and D, and place IR transmitter on the extender IR output port, that also can realize same IR matrix function.

EDID dynamic selection function

The 4x4 matrix has internal EDID function, support HDMI sink EDID dynamic selection when each 2 HDMI sinks choose the same HDMI source. There are two different EDID dynamic selection modes, one is to choose the lower definition EDID as current EDID, and another is to choose the higher definition EDID as current EDID. The user can set

“CONFIG” switch 1 to select EDID mode, when “CONFIG” switch 1 is set as “off” (default mode), the matrix will choose the lower definition

HDMI sink EDID, when “CONFIG” switch 1 is set as “on”, the matrix will choose the higher definition HDMI sink EDID. For example, One

TV is 1080P, another is 1080i. The “CONFIG” switch 1 is set as “off”, the selected EDID will be 1080i, When 2 HDMI sinks choose different

HDMI source, the matrix just forward connected HDMI sink EDID to selected source, and don’t change anything. This function is to keep maximum compatibility and flexibility.

EDID call back function

-

All UTP extender output ports support EDID call back function. pass this EDID information to 4x4 matrix through UTP cable. The matrix will collect all connected sink EDID information and then do EDID dynamic selection. This function is automatic, no need to setup by customers. This function is to keep maximum compatibility.

■

CEC pass through function

the system is powered on, CEC pass through is built automatically.

■

Power over UTP cable

The 4x4 matrix has 4 UTP output port and support power over UTP cable, which can make sure UTP extender receiver get the power from

9 the matrix UTP output port without DC adapter. Please note that UTP extender receiver must also support power over UTP and get the matched

UTP extender receiver model for this function. This power over UTP

13

function should be turned on when toggle “CONFIG” switch 2 to ON, and default status is “OFF”.

■

How to make Cat5e/6 cable

The 4x4 matrix UTP output request normal CAT5e or CAT6

Ethernet cables, which must meet standard-TIA/EIA-568B, refer to below pin definition.

■

Storage conditions

Products storage temperature should be -20°C~60°C. For long time storage requirement, please use original carbon boxes, and avoid from high humid, acid base or dusty place.

■

Maintenance

Warning

To ensure your safety, place choose original adapters. And provide stable AC input according to this manual.

6. Trouble shooting

■

Normal problems

a) No output on display

Check power first, then check ‘STATUS’ indicator. If ‘STATUS’ indicator is not light, then check HDMI cable and UTP cable are plugged in and HDMI video source is ready please, and check UTP link status that make sure another side UTP extender receiver is connected. Another consideration is about EDID configuration, if you want to get maximum compatibility, you should set “CONFIG” switch 1 with “OFF”, that means the HDMI source will get EDID from the lower definition HDMI sink, so that all connected HDMI sinks can display the video. b) IR no response

Check if IR in or IR out cable is plugged well, and IR in port should connect an IR extension receiver cable, IR out port should connect an IR transmitter cable. IR out 1 should point to HDMI input 1 source, IR out 2 to HDMI input2, and so on. IR input A should match with HDMI output

A, and IR input B should match with HDMI output B, and so on.
