1 Introducing the Leaf True Matrix system
1.1 Overview
The Leaf True HDMI Matrix System comprises a Leaf
LTHDMI88
or
LTHDMI88E
interface unit and Leaf
LTB1
or
LTB1E
breakouts. The Leaf True HDMI Matrix system
is designed to accept HDMI A/V sources at its inputs and route them to remotely
located breakouts. In this document, each input signal source is termed a
source
and
each output and breakout is called a
zone.
Additional features include infrared (IR) control and RS232 feed capability between the
interface and breakouts.
There are 2 model variants:
LTHDMI88 interface with LTB1 breakouts and
LTHDMI88E interface with LTB1E breakouts.
Whilst both model variants provide the routing and control features, the LTHDMI88E
extends this by providing Ethernet capability. The LTHDMI88E has additional circuitry
and dedicated RJ45 type ports on its front panel that connect to matching Ethernet
ports at LTB1E breakouts.
Interconnection between a Leaf True interface and associated Leaf True breakouts is
via one single cat5E/6 cable for each breakout. Single cat5e /6 cable interconnect
between these components is made possible through the use of HDBaseT technology.
This technology enables Ethernet, IR, RS232, Video and Audio to be all sent by a
single cable per zone over large distances.
Cabling specifications and information can be found in supplementary documentation
available on request from Leaf.
Control of the basic switching functions of the LTHDMI88 and LTHDMI88E interfaces
can be achieved by the use of front panel mounted buttons. A corresponding set of
display LEDs provide user feedback of the signal routing. Wired control of basic
functions is available via a proprietary Leaf controller such as the Leaf TC3 whilst full
feature control capability is available via RS232 from 3
rd
party control systems.
Both the LTHDMI88 and the LTHDMI88E are built into 2RU rack-mountable metal
housings and are provided with rubber feet should table / desktop mounting be
preferred.
