INTRODUCTION 

Thank you for purchasing this Blackbird™ 4x4 HDMI® Matrix/Extender! This matrix/extender 
allows you to connect up to four HDMI video source devices and distribute them to four 
local HDMI displays and four remote displays at the same time. It can extend 1080p@60Hz 
video signals to distances up to 164 feet (50 meters) over a single Cat6 Ethernet cable. It 
supports the Power over Cable (PoC) feature, allowing the remote receivers to receive 
their power over the Ethernet cable. It can be controlled using the front panel buttons, the 
included IR remote control, an internet browser using the TCP/IP control option, or a 
computer using the RS232 control option. It supports IR extension so you can control the 
source devices from the remote locations.
