Frequently Asked Questions - MX-0606-PP-POH WyreStorm

How do I set up IR control for the matrix?

Connect an IR emitter to an IR TX port (3.5mm mono) and place it over the source device's IR sensor. For control via a control system, use the CAB-IR-LINK cable for the IR Ext port. Ensure the IR receiver is in line of sight.

What is the maximum HDBaseT cable length for 1080p?

Using Cat6/6a/7 cable, the maximum distance is 70m (230ft) for 1920x1080p @60Hz 36bit. For HDMI direct, it's 15m (50ft).

How do I configure EDID settings?

Use the 4-position dipswitch on the rear panel to select an EDID mode (e.g., Smart EDID, Copy, or fixed resolutions). After changing, cycle power to the matrix for the setting to take effect.

Why is there no video output?

Check that power is on for all devices, HDMI and HDBaseT cables are properly terminated per T568B standard, and EDID is set to a compatible resolution. Ensure HDBaseT link LED is solid green on the rear panel.

Can I control the matrix via RS-232?

Yes, connect a 9-pin DB9 male to the RS-232 port. Use a straight-through cable with TX to RX connection. Refer to the manual for baud rate and commands.

Does the matrix support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

No, the matrix uses PoH (Power over HDBaseT) at 48V DC, not PoE. Never connect HDBaseT to an Ethernet router or switch to avoid damage.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are performed via the RS-232 port. Download the latest firmware from the WyreStorm website and use a terminal program to upload.

What is Smart EDID?

Smart EDID (default) automatically scans all connected displays and sets the lowest common resolution to ensure compatibility. It disables when EDID Copy or a specific EDID is selected.

How do I copy an EDID from a display?

Set dipswitch to EDID Copy (all switches down), reboot matrix, select the input for the output, then press and hold Enter for 5 seconds until OK appears. A failed copy shows FL-2 and defaults to 1080p 2ch.

What do the HDBaseT port LEDs indicate?

Solid green: Link established. Flashing green or off: No link. Amber flashing: Normal operation. Amber off: Fault detected - check cable termination and distance.

Pre Wire

1. Run a Cat5e/6/6a cable from the matrix location to the receiver location. See for resolution distance restrictions. Terminate the cable per the HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring section.
2. (Optional) If using IR emitters or connecting blocks, run the wire and terminate per the IR TX (Emitter) Wiring section.
3. (Optional) If using IR receivers, run the wire and terminate per the IR RX (Receiver) Wiring section.
4. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, run the wire and terminate per the RS-232 Wiring section.

Installation

1. Connect the output of an HDMI source to an HDMI In on the matrix using a cable from a high quality brand such as WyreStorm Express. Repeat for additional sources:
2. Using the cable created in Pre Wire step 1, connect the 8-pin RJ-45 female plug to the HDBT Out jack on the matrix. Repeat for additional HDBaseT receivers.
3. (Optional) Using the included IR emitter or the cable created in Pre Wire step 2, place an IR emitter onto a source device near the device's IR sensor. Connect the 3.5mm (1/8in) Mono Plug to an IR TX port. Repeat for additional sources.
4. (Optional) Using the included IR receiver, connect the 3.5mm (1/8in) Stereo Plug to an IR RX (IR to Zone) port. If using a control system, use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK or the cable created in Pre Wire step 3. Repeat for additional zones.
5. (Optional) Using an included IR receiver, connect the 3.5mm (1/8in) Stereo Plug to an IR Ext port. If using a control system, use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK or the cable created in Pre Wire step 3.

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.

Wire colors shown follow EIA/TIA-568B standard.

Resolutions 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 Specifications 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.

IR RX (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! IR TX Connection Guidelines

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.

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 configured 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 1080p @60Hz 2ch.
• Power to the matrix must be cycled (Off/On) after changing dip switches in order for the setting to take effect.
• Grayed out switches in the diagrams below can be in any position for the identified EDID.

EDID Copy
1080p @60Hz 3D 2ch		1080p @60Hz 2ch
1080p @60Hz 5.1ch		1080p @60Hz 7.1ch
1080i @60Hz 2ch
Normal Output Check hot plug voltage		Force Output Outputs regardless of hot plug voltage

Copying EDIDs

1. Set the EDID dipswitch to EDID Copy (all switches down).
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 on the display indicates that the copy was successful, an FL-2 indicates that the copy failed.
5. Reboot the matrix.

Troubleshooting

No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)

- Verify that power is being supplied to the matrix and receiving device and that both devices are powered on.

Note:

When using PoH, to power the receivers, verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated per the HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring section.

Verify that the transmitter, matrix/receiver, and display support the output resolution of the source. Refer to Video Resolutions in the Specifications table for the max distance based on resolution.

• Configure EDID Settings to a lower resolution.
• 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 3 ^rd 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 handheld 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 control.
