Introduction 

The ALF-MUH44E 18Gbps 4x4 HDBaseT (150M) Matrix can connect four HDMI sources to 
eight displays. It features four HDMI outputs, and each HDMI output is mirrored to provide a 
CAT Cable output which runs simultaneously. The HDBaseT output can extend video 
transmission distance up to 492ft / 150m via a single Cat 6/7 cable with resolution up to 
4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4. Audio de-embedded to analog and coaxial audio is supported. Each 
HDMI output supports 4K2K to 1080P downscale independently.

 

 

The product supports IR matrix. The IR signal is one-to-one control at the Matrix end, and 
the IR signal follows the HDMI video channel at the HDBaseT Receiver end.

 

 

The product provides an intuitive front panel with an OLED screen and control via front panel 
buttons, and supports control via IR remote, RS-232, LAN, and Web GUI.
