Before Installation

Do Not Hotplug! - Please insert and extract cables carefully with 

the power SWITCHED OFF.  Connecting and disconnecting while 

the unit is powered can result in damage to circuitry.

We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets to 

secure the matrix and the accompanying display receivers. Any 

sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of picture 

and sound if connections become loose or strained, resulting in 

unnecessary service call backs

Remember, always switch off the matrix before unplugging any 

inputs or outputs – follow last on, first off protocol.

Basic Connection and Operation

Attention: Due to the customizable nature of this product, we 

strongly suggest consulting the full instruction manual before 

installation.

Based on your individual module configuration, connect multi-
format sources to Inputs 1-8 of the matrix using quality cables - we 
recommend the use of WyreStorm Express HDMI cables.

To cascade HDMI transmission to another matrix an HDMI Pass-
through module is required.

For HDBaseT Outputs, connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat6 
cable of no more than 70m/230ft from matrix HDBT OUT ports 1-8 
to HDBT ports of connected display receivers.

If connecting a remote source via an HDBaseT Input module, ensure 
Cat6 cable of no more than 70m/230ft is used between the HDBT 
transmission device and HDBT IN of the matrix module. The matrix 
uses PoH to remotely power PoH-enabled transmission devices so 
no additional mains power is required at remote source locations

NOTE: Although WyreStorm products are tested with Cat5e, 

we recommend Cat6 as standard due to increased bandwidth 

and improved capacity for handling large transmissions along 

a single cable.

At display locations, connect HDMI display devices to the HDMI OUT 
ports of receivers.  

NOTE:  AMP-001-010 HDBaseT digital audio amplifier 

receivers can be used for enhanced audio connectivity.

Connect the matrix to a mains power supply using the power cable 
included and switch on the Power at the rear of the unit.
  
Check the front panel LED display is lit to indicate the matrix is ready 
for use.

The matrix uses PoH to remotely power PoH-enabled receivers so 
no mains power is required at display locations. 

In instances where cable quality, length or placement impacts on 
successful PoH delivery, or if using a non-POH enabled receiver, 
units can be powered locally via threaded or phoenix 12v DC power 
connectivity.

Check POWER, STATUS & LINK lights are illuminated on the receiver 
to indicate successful connection, with a lit HDCP illustrating the 
presence of encryption within the signal

NOTE: STATUS and HDCP LEDs should blink, POWER and 

LINK are static LEDs.

Basic I/O switching is achieved via the matrix front panel. OUTPUTS 
are selected by pressing the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to scroll 
forwards and backwards numerically through the displays connected 
to the matrix. The corresponding OUTPUT channel number will blink 
on the display when reached.

UP and DOWN arrow buttons scroll numerically through any INPUT 
sources connected to the system. When the desired OUTPUT and 
INPUT is reached, push the ENTER button to confirm the selection. 
The display will stop blinking to confirm matrix I/O has been set.

Basic Signal IR/RS232 Control

 
Connect IR emitters from the matrix IR TX ports to the IR receiving 
areas of sources, firmly attaching emitter eyes onto sources. 

For use with a control system, IR Link cables (sold separately) should 
be connected from the matrix IR RX ports to the controller used. For 
an RS232-based control system, RS232 cables should be used from 
matrix to control system and between receivers and display device.

At display locations, connect IR emitters from the display receiver 
IR TX ports to the IR receiving areas of the display device and IR 
receivers from IR RX ports on/near the device with clear line of sight 
to the handset used to control.

NOTE: Emitter eye position on device IR receiving areas may 

need to be adjusted later to achieve best IR performance.

See full instruction manual for detailed instructions on connection, 
operation and control.

Wiring and Connections

HDBaseT Wiring

Wiring for HDBaseT follows the EIA T568B standard.

 

IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines

•  The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, 

and electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse effect 
on HDBaseT transmission limiting performance. Steps should be taken 
to minimize these factors (or remove completely) during installation for 
best results.
