2 Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance and safety, please read these instructions carefully before connecting, operating or adjusting this product. Please keep this manual for future reference. SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE RECOMMENDED This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection systems is highly recommended in order to protect and extend the life of your equipment. SAFTY AND NOTICE. The transmission distances of HDMI over UTP cables are measured using TE CONNECTIVITY EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for CAT cables is recommended for better performance.. DO NOT use 568A/568B standard mixed CAT cable (cross-over cable) because there are 2 pairs swapped, this will make POE OVER-CURRENT and damage POE components. Please use straight-through CAT cable (both RJ5 headers are 568A or 568B standard).. It is recommended that power up the device after connections of source, sink and CAT cable. 5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in CAT cable, do not run HDBaseT / Zone Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close parallel proximity to mains power cables. Shielded CAT cables can be used to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission. 6. Because the quality of the CAT cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit can achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one s choice of CAT cables. 7. Do not substitute or use any other Power Supply other than the enclosed unit, or a Factor Electronics approved Replacement Part. Doing so will void the warranty and potentially expose the user to dangerous voltages resulting in an electrical shock. 8. Do not disassemble the device for any reason. Doing so will void the manufacturer s warranty. Also, our unique case is an integral part of the design of this unit and is responsible for cooling and circuitry shielding. Any modifications to this case will potentially cause malfunction and product failure. 9. Do not expose the device to water, moisture, or liquids. Possible electric shock may result as well as failure of the unit to operate.

11 Set Video Input Souce 2. Power up the Matrix (It will take about 5 seconds to be ready with a Di beep sound ). Double click the 8x8 HDMI Matrix Controller vx.x.exe icon to run it Common information Each input can be from HDMI or HDBaseT chosen via the pop-up menu under each Input port. ) Choose HDMI, then the HDMI input will be enabled; the HDBT input will be disabled. 2) Choose HDBT, then the HDBT input will be enabled; the HDMI input will be disabled. ) Choose Auto, the input will auto-scan the inputs between HDMI and HDBT. For example, if Input chooses HDBT and Auto, the input will auto-scan from HDBT to HDMI, if the HDBT input has a signal detected, the input will stay HDBT if not, it will scan the HDMI input and stay there when the signal detected. Set Audio Source for Input Click to select tab page COM port or TCP connect status 2 Control command process status Prompt message display area Date and Time display General page Each input audio source can be from the original HDMI/HDBT input, analog L/R embedded or Analog embedded DVI. ) Choose original, the audio will be from the HDMI/HDBT input. 2) Choose Analog L/R In embedded, the local L/R In will remove the original audio from the HDMI/HDBT input and embed the L/R audio. ) Choose Analog embedded when DVI, when a DVI signal is detected, it will embed the L/R audio. Note: Only PCM audio can be converted to analog audio output. Remote HDBT Receiver IR Output Control This provides the flexibility to change the IR path from the local IR in to the IR output of each Remote HDBT receiver. The default setting is each local IR in to the IR output of corresponding remote HDBT receiver. For example: Local IR in to IR output of the remote HDBT receiver and local IR in 8 to the IR output of remote HDBT receiver 8.
