Your complete satisfaction is very important to us. Gefen Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies. Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate. The Gefen 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI The rack-mountable 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI sends Full 1080p HD video and multichannel digital audio from any of 8 HDMI input sources to any 4 HDMI Displays -- be they local or remotely connected via CAT5 cable. The HDMI inputs consist of 4 High Definition video switches that can each accept 2 video sources. This input scheme allows up to 8 sources to be available while viewing any 4 on the output displays concurrently. The 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect sources to displays. It works with Blu-Ray players, Set-Top boxes, Home Theater PCs, and game consoles that connect to an HDMI display. Any source is accessible at all times by any display by selecting it using an IR remote or an RS-232 remote control device. The Matrix comes with rack ears for mounting in a shelving system. HDMI displays can be located locally or remotely over CAT5 cable, making for truly flexible HDMI routing options and creative extension possibilities. How It Works Up to 8 HDMI sources (4 viewable at any one time) connect to the Matrix’s inputs and up to 4 Displays connect to the Matrix’s outputs. Upon power-up, the 8x4 Matrix, HDMI sources and all connected Displays will show clear and vibrant HDMI video with multichannel digital audio. HDMI sources can now be selected on each display using the IR remote. Important Note: The 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI over CAT5 incorporates a 2x1 switch in front of each of 4 inputs, each feeding into a traditional 4x4 matrix. This allows connection of up to 8 HDMI source devices. Each input to the 8x4 Matrix allows only one of its two connected “A” and “B” sources to be switched into view at one time, yielding a total of 4 HDMI sources that may be viewed simultaneously. 1 OPERATION NOTES READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE 8X4 CAT-5 MATRIX FOR HDMI • To use the extender functionality of the 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI the supplied 1 foot HDMI jumper cables must be used to connect the HDMI output ports to the HDMI extension input ports. Please see page 8 for details. • Use two industry standard CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables to operate each of the HDMI Over CAT5 Receivers. Gefen recommends shielded CAT-6 cabling for maximum performance. • For 1080i video, maximum extension is 300 feet (91 meters). • For 1080p video, maximum extension is 150 feet (45 meters). • IR repeater functionality is only from the receiving unit to the sending unit. IR data cannot be transmitted from the sending unit to the receiving unit. • When a display connects to a source being viewed by other displays, a short flash may appear momentarily on the displays already viewing that source. This is normal operation as new handshakes for HDCP are being made. • Local displays that are not using the extension functionality of the 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI can only switch their viewing source via the RS-232 Serial Control Interface or the optional RMT-16IR remote control. • Important Note: The 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI incorporates a 2x1 switch in front of each input on a traditional 4x4 matrix. This allows for the connection of up to 8 different HDMI source devices with a maximum of 4 sources available for viewable at any one time. Each of the 4 s...
