HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring

 IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines

•  The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and 

electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse effect on 
HDMI or HDBaseT transmission limiting performance. Steps should be 
taken to minimize these factors (or remove completely) during installation 
for best results.

•  While similar in nature, the HDBaseT protocol is different than Ethernet and 

voltages provided for PoH can be higher than those provided by PoE. For 
this reason, never connect an HDBaseT link to an Ethernet router or switch 
to avoid damaging the connected devices.

Wiring for HDBaseT follows the EIA T568B standard.

Resolutions Distances

The type of category cable used and the distance between the matrix and 
receiver can restrict the available video resolution.
Refer to 

Video Resolutions

 in the 

Specifications

 table for the max distance 

based on resolution.

IR Wiring

IR TX (Emitter) Wiring

Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.

Tip:

IR Signal

Sleeve: Ground (GND)

IR RX (Receiver) Wiring

Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs 
+5V DC to power the included IR receiver.

 

 IMPORTANT! IR TX Connection Guidelines

3rd party IR receivers may require a different voltage, refer to the 
documentation provided with the IR receiver before making any connections 
to avoid damaging the device.

RS-232 Wiring

RS-232 Connection Guidlines

The following wiring diagram shows the pinouts for the extender set. While 
not shown, connect the TX (transmit) to RX (receive) pins at the control 
system or PC side of the cable.
Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary 
from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device 
for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.

EDID Settings

EDIDs can be configured to resolve issues with video output on displays that 
may not accept the maximum resolution available from the source. 

•  When set to Smart EDID (default) the matrix will scan all selected displays 

for the lowest resolution.

•  When EDID Copy or a direct EDID is being used, SmartEDID is turned Off.
•  Ensure that a display is connected and powered On to the selected output 

before copying EDIDs or the copy will fail. When this occurs, EDID will be 
set to 4K@30Hz 2ch.

•  Power to the matrix must be cycled (Off/On) after changing dip switches in 

order for the setting to take effect.

•  Grayed out switches in the diagrams below can be in any position for the 

identified EDID.

Copying EDIDs

1. 

Set the EDID dipswitch to EDID Copy (all switches down).

2. 

Reboot the matrix.

3. 

Using the front navigation buttons, select the input port for the output. 
Example: Input 2 for Output 2

4. 

Once the output port indicator blinks, press and hold 

Enter

 for 5 

seconds. An 

OK

 message on the display indicates that the copy was 

successful, an 

FL-2

 indicates that the copy failed.

5. 

Reboot the matrix.
