READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 4X4 HDMI OVER CAT5 MATRIX
•
To use the extender functionality of the 4x4 HDMI Over CAT5 Matrix the
supplied 1 foot HDMI jumper cables must be used to connect the HDMI
output ports to the HDMI extension input ports. Please see page 11 for
details
•
Use two industry standard CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables to operate each
of the 4x4 HDMI Over CAT5 Receivers. Gefen recommends CAT-6 cabling
for maximum performance.
•
For 1080i video, maximum extension is 300 feet (91 meters).
•
For 1080p video, maximum extension is 150 feet (45 meters).
•
IR repeater functionality is only from the receiving unit to the sending unit. IR
data cannot be transmitted from the sending unit to the receiving unit.
•
When a display connects to a source being viewed by other displays, a short
fl ash may appear momentarily on the displays already viewing that source.
This is normal operation as new handshakes for HDCP are being made.
•
Local displays that are not using the extension functionality of the 4x4 HDMI
Over CAT5 Matrix can only switch their viewing source via the RS-232 Serial
Control Interface. Please see page 18 for a list of commands and instructions.
