The matrix allows any eight input channels (HDMI) to be
routed to any eight output channels (HDMI), regardless of
source HDCP status.
NOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION:
Do Not Hotswap HDMI plugs – Insert/extract cables
carefully with devices and mains SWITCHED OFF
to avoid static build up passed over the cable
damaging circuitry.
Please be mindful of HDMI cable condition and
distance limitations stated in Specification (Section
5 of this manual) 4K: 7m/23ft / 1080p: 10m/33ft
Care should always be taken when inserting/
removing any cables - do not force connection
should resistance be felt - and ensure power
supplies are disconnected from all devices before
installation
Ensure that any 4K sources and 4K display devices
used are compatible and outputting the correct
resolutions for EDID to be successfully negotiated
and signals received.
NOTE
Both 4K and 1080p HD sources and displays
may be contained within the same distribution – to
combine 4K and HD sources/displays a WyreStorm
EXP-CON-4K-DD 4K/HD scaler with Dolby
Downmixing must be used between matrix output
and connected display device.
We advise CAT 2 High Speed HDMI cables be
used to connect source and display devices - we
recommend using WyreStorm HDMI cables.
INITIAL CONNECTION:
Using good quality HDMI 1.4 cable, firmly connect
4K or HD source devices (such as: Blu-ray, computer,
games console, satellite/cable, music streaming device,
CCTV etc.) to the relevant HDMI IN ports 1-8 of the
matrix.
Firmly connect HDMI OUT 1-8 of the matrix to HDMI
IN of 4K or HD display devices, ensuring both source and
display devices are compatible and correctly configured to
accept the signal.
If using an AVR or analogue audio device, connect
via the S/PDIF optical / coaxial audio outputs.
NOTE
If connecting to an analogue audio output,
a WyreStorm EXP-CON-DAC-D Digital to Audio
converter should be used between the coaxial
output and the analogue device.
Insert the matrix power supply included and switch
on the Power on the front panel. Check front panel LED
screen is lit to indicate your WyreStorm system should
now be fully connected and ready for use.
NOTE
Remember, always switch off the matrix
before unplugging any inputs or outputs – follow last
