1  Introducing the Leaf True LT2020E Matrix 

system 

1.1  Overview 

The Leaf True HDMI Matrix System comprises a Leaf 

LT2020E

 interface unit and Leaf 

LTB1E

 breakouts. The Leaf True HDMI Matrix system is designed to accept HDMI A/V 

sources at its 20 inputs and route them to up to 16 remotely located breakouts and up 
to 4 local HDMI outputs. In this document, each input signal source is termed a 

source 

and each output and breakout is called a 

zone.

 

Additional  features  include  Ethernet  through  feed  capability,  infrared  (IR)  control 
through feed and RS232 through feed capability between the interface and breakouts. 
Note that these are through feeds only and have no direct control function of the Leaf 
True system.  

Interconnection between a Leaf True interface and associated Leaf True breakouts is 
via  one  single  cat5e/6/6a four  pair  cable for  each  breakout.  Single  cat5e  /6 /6a  cable 
interconnect between these components is made possible through the use of HDBaseT 
technology.  This  technology  enables  Video  and  Audio,  as  well  as  Ethernet,  IR,  and 
RS232 through feed to be all sent by a single cable per zone over large distances.  

Cabling specifications and information can be found in supplementary documentation.  

The Leaf True system is designed to be controlled via RS232 commands from 3

rd

 party 

control systems. Control of basic switching functions can be (also or instead) achieved 
via a proprietary Leaf controller such as the Leaf TC3 connected by 6 wire Telco cable 
and RJ12 (6P6C) modular connectors.   

Manual control of the basic switching functions can be also be achieved by the use of 
a front panel mounted touch screen on the LT2020E.  

The  LT2020E  is built  into  a 3RU rack-mountable  metal  housing  and  is provided with 
rubber feet should table / desktop mounting be preferred.
