manual abstract
Action: User viewing output 1 switches the input from 1A (DVD) to 1B (STB). Result: Output 2 is not affected by the change of 1A to 1B because it is viewing a source (2A) on a different input. • Display information (EDID) from the displays attached to the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI need to be sent back to the input sources. Please see page 10 for EDID management features and options. • HDMI 1.2 compliant (HDMI 1.3 compatible) • HDCP compliant 2 FEATURES Features • Switches any eight HDMI™ sources to 4 Displays • Distributes any of the four switched inputs (total of eight inputs) to any combination of the four HDMI™ output displays • Maintains high resolution video - beautiful, sharp HDTV resolutions up to 1080p, 2k, and computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 are easily achieved • Serial RS-232 remote port for switching via control automation • HDMI™ 1.2 Compliant (HDMI 1.3 Compatible); HDCP Compliant • Discrete IR remote (included) • Rack ears included Package Includes (1) 8x4 HDMI Matrix (1) RMT-16IR Remote Control (8) 6-Foot HDMI Cable (M-M) (1) 24V DC Power Supply (1) User’s Manual (1) Rack Ears (set) 3 PANEL LAYOUT Front Panel 1 2 3 4 Back Panel 5 6789 10 11 4 PANEL DESCRIPTIONS 1 Selected Input LED Indicator Each of the 4 outputs has an 4 LED array to indicate which source is currently selected on the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI. Each of the inputs can accept up to 2 sources (A and B) and the LED array will behave in 2 modes to indicate which of the two sources for input is selected. Please see the operation section for a complete description on how the LED array functions. 2 IR (Infrared) Receiver This receiver will accept command for switching between input HDMI devices using the included RMT-16IR remote control. Line of sight must be preserved for proper operation. 3 IR (Infrared) Receiver Extension An optional IR Receiver Extension (part # EXT-RMT-EXTIR) can be connected if the unit is placed in a location that will not provide line of sight to the included IR remote control. The IR extension can then be placed in a location where it can receive commands form the IR remote control. 4 Power LED Indicator This LED will become active once the included 24V DC power supply is properly connected between the unit and an open wall power socket. 5 RS-232 Serial Communications Port This port is used to control multiple functions available on the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI. Please see page 12 for complete details on the serial communication features that are used on this product. 6 HDMI 1 Inputs There are two inputs, labeled 1A and 1B, that will accept an HDMI source device. Only one of these inputs can be active at any given time. 7 HDMI 2 Inputs There are two inputs, labeled 2A and 2B, that will accept an HDMI source device. Only one of these inputs can be active at any given time. 8 HDMI 3 Inputs There are two inputs, labeled 3A and 3B, that will accept an HDMI source device. Only one of these inputs can be active at any given time. 9 HDMI 4 Inputs There are two inputs, labeled 4A and 4B, that will accept an HDMI source device. Only one of these inputs can be active at any given time. 10 HDMI Outputs 1 to 4 Connect up to 4 HDMI capable devices (i.e. display) to these output ports. 11 24V DC Power Receptacle Connect the included 24V DC power supply between this input and an open wall power socket. 5 CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 8X4 MATRIX FOR HDMI How to Connect the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI 1. Connect up to 8 HDMI source devices to the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI using the included HDMI cables. NOTE: Please be aware that each input has two available HDMI ports and that only one will be active at any given time. It is recommended that commonly used HDMI sources be put on separate inputs (i.e. 1A and 2A, not 1A and 1B) so that these devices are always available. 2. Connect up to 4 HDMI capable devices (i.e. displays) to the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI using user supplied HDMI cables. 3. Connect the included 24V DC power supply between the power input on the unit and an open wall power socket. 4. Power on all output devices first and the source devices second. How to Operate the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI The 8x4 Matrix for HDMI can be controlled by either the included RMT16-IR remote control or the RS-232 serial communications port. For RMT-16IR remote control functions please see page 8. For RS-232 serial communication functions please see page 12. 6 LED ARRAY The LED array on the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI is designed to inform the user of the current source to output routes. Each output has a 4 LED array that will indicate which source is currently selected. Each input can accept two sources and therefore the LED array will act differently according to which input, “A” or “B”, is active for each. • An input’s “A” source will be indicated by an single LED (the selected “A” input) that is ON. • An input’s “B” source will be indicated by the reverse; a single LED will be OFF (the selected “B” input) while the remaining 3 LEDs will be ON. The examples below will sho...
