Distribution Amplifier
Setup
With the matrix power switch in the OFF position, connect an HDMI High 
Speed cable from the HDMI Output of the most commonly used audio/
video source to the HDMI Input 1 located on the rear of the matrix. 
Similarly , connect the remaining source devices to the HDMI Input  Ports  
on the matrix.
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 an HDMI cable to the HDMI Output P ort 1 on the rear of 
the matrix. Connect the other end to the HDMI Input P ort of the display 
device. Similarly , connect the remaining HDMI Output P orts from the 
matrix to the other displa ys.
The matrix has internal memory that stores the system 
information for faster switching. Please follow the steps in the 
order listed: T urn ON the displays and ensure they are awake (not in 
standby mode). Check the displa ys INPUT setting to ensure the correct  
HDMI port is activ e.
T urn on the source devices and ensure they are awake (not in standby  
mode). Connect the power adapter to the matrix. Plug the power 
adapter into a surge protected AC power outlet. T urn the matrix power 
switch to the ON position.
The matrix has a low power d raw and is intended to be left on. If  
the matrix is turned off , start up the system as noted abo ve. If new 
hardw are is added, please perform a RESET .
To  RESET the matrix, turn off the display and source devices.  Power off 
the matrix and unplug the power adapter from the rear of the matrix. 
Wa it 20 minutes for the memory of the system configur ation inside of 
the matrix to be deleted.  Follow the setup instructions abo ve to correctly 
initiate the setup .

LED indicator light s
On initial power on, all LED lights on the matrix should come on solid  
blue. All the numerical LED displa ys will momentarily read ‘0’ and 
then change to ‘1’ . If less than the maximum number of Displa ys 
are connected to the matrix (not all the outputs are used) the 
numerical indicator will indicate ‘0’ for that output and there wi\
ll be no 
corresponding HDMI OUT  blue LED for the unused output. Blue lights 
will only appear for devices connected. A ny unused HDMI Input ports will 
also have its  HDMI IN blue LED unlit.
Operation
Manual Control : Y ou can ope rate HDMI source switching manually by 
using the buttons labeled ‘Out” located on the front panel. Press the 
button that corresponds to the output that y ou want to change the HDMI 
source on and toggle through until the desired HDMI input source video 
is being displayed. A numerical LED indicates which HDMI source input is\
  
being shown on each output (HD TV).
Remote Control:  Included with the Matrix is a R emote Control. The 
remote control can control the matrix  by pointing it at the front of the 
matrix, targeting the integr ated IR receiver labeled IR. IR uses line-of -
sight between the remote control (or IR -TX) and the receiver . The angle 
which the remote will work is at about a 15° degree angle in either  
direction to the receiv er. If the receiver is postioned such that there 
is not line-of -sight, the port labeled “IR Extender” accepts an optional  
IR R eceiver . This receiver enables line-of -sight if the matrix is out of 
position.

							Infrared Control (IR)
The Ultra-IR Adapter Kit (optional) enables the user to control the source 
device from the location of the displ ay. The HDMI cable, at the display  
end, plugs into the IR Adapter . Next the adapter’s HDMI connector plugs 
into the display . The adapter has a port that accepts an optional IR  
receiver (IR -RX). When the IR -RX receives an IR signal from the remote 
control, it uses the HDMI cable’ s CEC line to send the signal to the switch.  
The switch has an IR port that accepts the optional IR tr ansmitter (IR-
TX). The IR -TX sends the signal to the source device. 
Note: As the Ultr a-IR Adapter uses the CEC channel of the HDMI cable,  
the CEC function cannot be used when using this device.  Turn off CEC or 
HDMI Link functionality in the source devices and displa ys.

Troubleshooting
A. One of the displ ay does not show a picture or output audi o.
Q.  Check the displays input setting to ensure it is set to receive a signa\
l 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. T urn off the power to the matrix, source and displa ys. Wait 1 minute. T urn 
the source on. T urn the displays on. T urn the matrix on.

...troubleshooting continued
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. Test by locating the non-working display close to the matrix. 
Use a short HDMI cable to connect the matrix to the TV. A working TV using a 
short HDMI cable indicates an issue with the HDMI cable.
Q.  Get the message “This protocol is not supported” or other error message. 
A. See answer A1 abo ve and repeat the steps outlined .
Q.  The matrix 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 matrix will query the displa ys and provide the highest common video 
resolution amongst them. Example: Using a 1080p source, if 3 of the displa ys 
support a maximum resolution of 1080p and 1 displ ay supports a maximim 
resolution of 720p , all 4 display will oper ate at a resolution of 720p .  If the 720p 
TV in the example is then turned off , the other 3 displays can then operate in 
1080p resolution. T urn Off then turn On the matrix to refresh the configur ation. 
The three 1080p TV’ s will refresh (flicker) then each will displ ay a 1080p picture.

RS-232 Control Port (4x4 HDMI Matrix )
The RS-232 port located on the 4x4 HDMI Matix pro vides control similiar 
to the remote control from a remote device. A correctly configured 
RS232 cable is required. Connect the RS232 cable end to y our PC Serial 
port (default =COM 1). The other end to HDMI Matrix RS232 port. 
Place the included CD-ROM into y our computer CD-ROM drive. Go to  
the CD-ROM dri ve and double-click the “HDMI F amilySetupB.exe” file 
to install the command configur ation application. The HEX codes and 
settings, RS-232 cable configur ation as well as additional details on the 
usage of the application are included in PDF file format on the CD . Open 
the CD and locate the PDF file.  To open/read use Adobe Acrobat R eader.
The front panel of the matrix has ports labeled  IR Channels. Each IR 
port can accept an IR  Transmitter (I R-TX). Each IR -TX can send an IR  
control signal to a source device. The IR -Channel ports are numbered, 
corresponding to the matrix’ s HDMI Output. Using the optional Ultr a-IR 
Adapter Kit PN: B164B-001B , the IR-Adapter would be plugged into the 
display side of the HDMI cable that is plugged into HDMI Output 1. An 
IR R eceiver (IR -RX) would be plugged into the IR -Adapter.  Plug an IR -
TX into the IR Channel 1 port. P osition the end of the IR-TX towards the 
source device y ou want to control. F or control from the other displ ay 
(Output) locations, multiple IR -Adapter kits can be used. One IR -RX can 
be used per displ ay.
To  control multiple source devices with one IR -TX, stack the sources  
together and position the IR -TX so that all the source devices can receive 
the IR signal (Blast) from the IR -TX.
The port labeled “IR Extender” accepts an optional IR  Receiver , taking  
commands from the included matrix remote control. This receiv er 
enables line-of -sight if the matrix with its built -in IR receiver, labeled on  
the front panel as  IR, is not visable.
