Installation

1. Connect up to 4 sources such as a Blu-Ray Player, Digital Signage Player, A/V Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc. to the HDMI inputs on the unit using HDMI cables of up to 5m in length.
   Important! Do not hot plug devices! Insert and remove cables carefully with the power SWITCHED OFF. Connecting/disconnecting while the unit is powered can result in damage to Matrix's circuitry.
2. Connect the output UTP ports to the CAT5e/6 Receiver using good quality Cat5e/6 UTP cables no longer than 50m. Displays can also be connected directly to the corresponding HDMI output ports using HDMI cables of up to 5m in length. If you require a longer cable please use a LINDY Active HDMI Cable (Part No. 41052 – 55) or a LINDY HDMI Extender.
3. Plug in IR Emitters to the back of the Matrix unit (IR TX ports), the IR Emitters are labelled IR TX, place the eye in front of the IR receiver of the source.
4. Plug in IR Receivers to the IR RX port of the CAT5e/6 Receiver's, the IR Receivers are labelled IR RX, place the IR Receivers in a location that will receive a remote signal.
5. Plug in and power on all sources first, followed by the Matrix unit (power supply included), followed by the display receivers, followed by each of the Displays.

At this point each display connected should display the assigned source (Input 1 at default when powered on initially). Scroll through each of the sources on each display to ensure everything is in working order. Use the included IR remote at each display receiver to test switching function between sources and IR function itself.

Operation

EDID

The Matrix is capable of using either preset or cloned EDID data to ensure maximum compatibility. The table shows the different EDID values which can be set using the Matrix's front panel buttons or using the supplied software via RS-232 or TCP/IP.

IR Control

The Matrix supports bi-directional IR signal extension, allowing control of the HDMI sources remotely from the Receiver and displays remotely from the Matrix, simply install the supplied IR Receivers and Emitters according to your requirement.

Each of the IR TX ports (1 - 4) located on the back of the Matrix unit is allocated to the corresponding HDMI Input (1 - 4), this allows you to control whichever HDMI source you are viewing from a remote location even after switching between inputs.

Each of the IR RX ports (1 - 4) located on the back of the Matrix unit is allocated to the corresponding HDMI Input (1 - 4), this allows you to control the HDMI display(s) currently using this Input.

Please Note: Misplaced or poorly secured IR Emitters and Receivers may result in intermittent IR control signals passed to and from the matrix. Check your placement and adjust if necessary.

PC Controller

The Matrix can be controlled by a Windows PC connected via RS-232 (9 Way) cable or via a LAN using TCP/IP.
