Operation Manual

Introduction

Features

Applications

The HDBaseT™ 4 by 4 HDMI Matrix over CAT5e/6/7 supports the transmission of video (resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and

1920×1200@60Hz) and multi-channel digital audio from four high definition sources to four outputs over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable (up to 100m) for each output. It supports high resolution digital audio formats such as LPCM

7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio as well as 3D content that can be displayed when connecting a 3DTV and 3D source. The matrix can be controlled via IR, RS-232, Telnet or Web GUI.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support means that compatible receivers do not need their own seperate power supplies, allowing for greater flexibility in installations.

232 commands for a list of commands).

3.

ALL IR OUT:

Connect to the IR blaster for IR signal transmission to the source devices.

Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled.

All signals received from the display side will be relayed to the source devices.

4.

ALL IR IN:

Connect to the IR extender for IR signal reception. Ensure that the remote being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR extender. It will transmit all signals received through the IR ALL OUT.

5.

SERVICE:

Manufacturer use only.

6.

IR OUT A~D:

Connect to the IR blasters for IR signal transmission. Place the IR blaster in direct line-of-sight of the equipment to be controlled. It will transmit the IR signal received from the receiver side according to the selected input.

7.

IR IN 1~4:

Connect to the IR extenders for IR signal reception. Ensure that the remote being used is within the direct line-of-sight of the IR extender. It will send out the IR signal received to the selected IR OUT (A-D).

8.

CAT5e/6/7 OUT A~D:

Connect the CAT outputs to the CAT input port of the receiver units with a single CAT5e/6/7 cable for HDMI Audio/Video and IR control signal transmission.

Warning: Please do not connect the CAT5e/6/7 outputs to the receiver's LAN port.

9.

HDMI IN 1~4:

Connect to the HDMI source devices such as a DVD player or a Set-top

Box with HDMI cables or DVI to HDMI cables.

Telnet Control

Before attempting to use the Telnet control, please ensure that both the HDMI

Video Wall unit (via the ‘CONTROL’ port) and the PC/Laptop are connected to the active networks.

To access the Telnet control in Windows 7, click on the ‘Start’ menu and type

“cmd” in the Search field then press Enter. Under Windows XP go to the

‘Start’ menu and click on “Run”, type “cmd” with then press Enter.

Under Mac OS X, go to Go→Applications→Utilities→Terminal. See below for reference.

Once in the command line interface (CLI) type "telnet", then the IP address of the unit and "23", then hit enter.

Note: The IP address of the Matrix can be displayed on the device's

LCM monitor by pressing the Menu button twice.

This will bring us into the unit which we wish to control. Type 'HELP' to list the available commands.

Type “IPCONFIG” To show all IP configurations. To reset the IP, type

“RSTIP” and to use a set static IP, type ”SETIP” (For a full list of commands, see Section Telnet and RS-232 commands).

Note: Commands will not be executed unless followed by a carriage return. Commands are not case-sensitive. If the unit's IP is changed then the IP Address required for Telnet access will also change accordingly
