Quickstart Guide

WyreStorm 4 x 4 HDBaseT Matrix Switcher Kit 

with 4x Receivers and 2-Way IR (70m/230ft)

MX-0404-PP-KIT

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 PoH 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

Connect HDMI sources to HDMI Inputs 1-4 of the matrix using HDMI 
cable from quality brand such as WyreStorm Express.

Connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat6 cable of no more than 
70m/230ft from matrix UTP output ports 1-4 to UTP IN ports of 
connected display receivers.

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.

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

At the display zone, ensure the display receiver is fixed firmly in place 
and connect the 12v mains power adaptor to a local mains power 
supply. 

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 by pressing 
the SOURCE button of each OUTPUT to to scroll numerically 
through connected inputs 1-4, with input selections indicated by 
LED.

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 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.
