Setup
Note: All Cat5e/6 cables must be terminated to 568B standards. 
Unsheilded (or properly terminated sheilded cable), solid core Cat5e,  
Cat6, Cat6e, Cat7 or Cat7e cable can be used. Str anded core is not 
suggested as it can reduce signal tr ansfer. Recommended to use a 
continuous length of cable terminated at the matrix and receiv er ends.
With the splitter power switch in the OFF position, connect the HDMI 
High Speed cable from the HDMI Output of the audio/video source to the 
HDMI Input located on the rear of the splitte r. 
Tips: Use the shortest length HDMI cables possible in each point 
in the installation. Use only High Quality and High Speed HDMI 
cables.
Next, connect a Cat5e/6 cable to the HDBase T Out 1 port on the rear of 
the splitte r. Connect the other end of the Cat5e/6 cable to the HDBase T 
IN port on the rear of the HDBase T receiver positioned near the TV. Run 
a short, High Speed HDMI cable from the HDMI Out port on the recei ver 
to the HDMI In port on the TV .  Plug a provided power adapter into an 
AC outlet and the other end into the HDBase T receiver. Using the same 
steps, connect the remaining displa ys to the splitter.
Important: The HDBase T Receivers when oper ating are warm and do 
require space around the housing for air circulation and coollng. Do not\
  
enclose the HDBase T receiver. If placed behind a component such as a 
TV , ensure that there is adequate space for air circulation and ambient 
cooling and  that there is no heat being gener ated and transmitted to the 
receiver from the other device. Damage caused  by improper placement 
and overheating of the splitter or the receiver is not covered by the 
product w arrant y. 
 On initial power on, all LED lights on the splitter should come on solid  
blue. If less than the maximum number of Displa ys are connected to 
the splitter (not all the outputs are used) there will be no correspon\
ding 
HDMI OUT  blue LED for the unused output. Blue lights will only appear 
for devices connected.  
The HDBaseT Receiver has 4 LED indicators:  
1. HDCP: A solid LED indicates that the HDCP handshak e between the 
source and display  has been authenticated.
2. Link: Indicates a connection between the Matrix and the R eceiver.
3. Mode: A flashing LED indicates correct oper ation of the system.
4. P ower: A solid LED indicates power to the recei ver.

The 1x4 Splitter featuring HDBase T Lite includes 4 pairs of Infrared 
Extenders, 4 IR  Transmitters (I R-TX) and 4 IR  Receivers (I R-RX). The 
front panel of the splitter has 1 IR -TX port. The HDBase T Re ceivers each  
have one IR -TX port and one IR -RX port. Using the included extenders,  
you can configure the IR to control the source devices when present at  
any of the displays.
The port on the splitter labeled “IR ” accepts an optional IR-TX, sending 
commands receiv ed from the IR-RX at the display end (HDBase T 
receiver) to the IR “ey e” on a source.
Plug an IR -RX into the IR -RX Port of the HDBase T receiver. Place the end 
of the IR -RX in an area that is in line-of -sight to the remote control. 
Plug an IR -TX into the IR port on the splitte r. Po sition the end of the IR -
TX in line of sight to the IR “ey e” of the source device. The IR “ey e” is 
normally a small circle on the face of the source devices that receiv es the 
IR signal from its remote control. 
To  control multiple source devices with one IR -TX, stack the sources  
together and position the IR -TX, which is plugged into the IR port on the 
splitte r, so that all the source devices can recei ve the IR signal (Blast) 
from the IR -TX.
Note: A remote control is not included. A remote control progr ammed to 
control the source device/s is required for IR oper ation.
Troubleshooting
Q. One of the display does not show a picture or output audio.
A. Check the displa ys input setting to ensure it is set to recei ve a signal  
from the connected HDMI port .
Q.  One or more of the connected displays will not display a picture while  
one or more of the displa ys do display a picture:  
A1. Press the  RESET button on the front of the splitter to reset it.   
Alternatively turn off the power to the splitte r, source and displa ys. Wait 
60 seconds. T urn the source on and the displa ys on. Turn the splitter on.
A2. The HDMI cables on the non-functonal displa y/s cannot support 
their long length.  Use only high-quality High Speed HDMI cables. K eep 
the cable length as short as possible. T est by locating the non-working 
display close to the splitte r. Use a short HDMI cable to connect the switch 
to the TV . A working TV using a short HDMI cable indicates an issue with  
the HDMI cable.
Q.  The splitter is not down sampling the video and some of the TV’ s are 
not displaying a picture.
A1. Go into the TV’ s setup and configure the resolution to match all the 
connected TV’ s. The TV’s should share the same resolution.  
A2. In the source devices menu options set the source device to output a\
 
resolution that matches all the connected displa ys.
Q.  My TV ’s resolution are not optimized.
A. The splitter will query the displa ys and provide the highest common 
video resolution amongst them. Example: Using a 1080p source, if 3 
of the displays support a maximum resolution of 1080p and 1 displ ay 
supports a maximim resolution of 720p , all 4 display will operate at a 
resolution of 720p .  If the 720p TV in the example is then turned of f, the 
other 3 displays can then oper ate in 1080p resolution. Press the  RESET 
button on the front panel of the splitter to refresh the configur ation. The 
three 1080p TV’ s will refresh (flick er) then each will displ ay a 1080p 
resolution picture.
