FUNCTION 

 

The 4K-8x8-L is a fully loaded 2U rack mountable 8x8 matrix switch incorporating HDBaseT technology. The 
4K-8x8-L allows for the input of up to 8 HDMI 1.4, HDCP 2.2 inputs and can be switched to any combination 
of the 8 available outputs, each of which has a up to 70m CATx HDBaseT output or a local HDMI output.   

The 4K-8x8-L can pass 4K @60Hz (YUV 4:2:0) resolutions, allowing the distribution of UHD content of sources 
at distances of up to 70m. 

The 4K-8x8-L incorporates a comprehensive audio switch layer. On both the input and output side of the 4K-
8x8-L are 8x SPDIF coaxial digital audio connectors and 8x 3.5mm jack audio connectors for analogue stereo 
audio. This audio layer allows the 4K-8x8-L to integrate with dedicated audio amplifiers or audio distribution 
systems. 

Another key feature of the 4K-8x8-L is the inclusion of the bi-directional infra-red switch. On the rear of the 4K-
8x8-L are several 3.5mm stereo jacks dedicated to infra-red functionality, some for infra-red input to the 4K-
8x8-L  and  some  allowing  output  of  infra-red  from  the  4K-8x8-L.  This  functionality  can  allow  the  control  of 
sources located locally with the 4K-8x8-L from screen locations up to 70m away with the use of the included 
infra-red peripherals. Alternatively, with the use of infra-red peripherals or a dedicated control system, the user 
can have control of their screens from the centralized matrix location. 

The 4K-8x8-L incorporates 12V power over cable (POC), this enables the powering of the HDBaseT receivers 
from the matrix location via the HDBaseT outputs over the CATx cable. The 4K-8x8-L is designed for use with 
the 4K-RX725 HDBaseT Lite receiver from Smart-e. 

The  HDBaseT  Output  ports  enable  remote  connectivity  to  display  devices  fitted  with  a  Smart-e  4K-RX725 
Receiver  (or  other  compliant  HDBaseT  receiver) 

70-meters  over  copper  twisted  pair  cable.  12V power  is 

supplied from the matrix to the transmitter through the twisted pair cabling. 

The  HDMI  inputs  and  outputs  provide  active-input  ports,  enabling  the  installer  to  connect  extended  cable 
lengths 

15-meters dependant on resolution. 

Digital  signal  processing  technology  ensures  that  signals  are  transported  without  distortion  and  the  best 
quality output is transmitted to the display device. A fully featured EDID management system and HDCP 2.2 
compliance ensure optimal image quality and compatibility. 

The 4K-8x8-L can be controlled by a variety of methods including:

 

 

Remote control, via supplied infra-red handset. 
 

 

Remote control via RS232 serial command 
 

 

Remote control via TCP/IP Ethernet 
 

 

Control via integrated web server 
 

 

Front panel buttons with LCD indicator
