8. Typical Application
9. Connection
01
Connect your
HDMI input sources
(such as: HD-DVD,
PS3/, XBOX360, satellite/cable, Blu-Ray etc.) to
HDMI
inputs 1 – 8
of the
MX-0816-HDBT MATRIX
.
ATTENTION
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.
02
Attach the
IR TX emitter
sensor directly over the infrared
receiving area of the
input source using the adhesive
backing
. You may need to adjust the position of the emitter
after installation to achieve the best results. Sometimes
moving the sensor to different areas of the source facia can
improve IR performance.
03
Plug the 3.5mm jack of the
IR TX emitter
into your chosen
number
IR RX port
on the rear panel of the MATRIX.
ATTENTION
Locate the infrared sensor on devices by
shining a flashlight onto the display panel of sources and
look for a small sensor.
04
Connect a good quality, well terminated Cat 5e/6/7 cable
with an RJ45 connector wired to 568B standard at both
ends from the
UTP Out
port of the
MATRIX
to the
UTP
IN
of the
DISPLAY RECEIVER
. Ensure both connectors
are pushed securely into each port and supported by the
connector strain relief clip to prevent them from becoming
loose. The quality of termination for your RJ45 is essential.
Poor quality terminations lead to intermittent performance
and longer install times.
ATTENTION
We strongly recommend using the supplied
mounting brackets to secure the MATRIX and the
accompanying TRANSMITTER & DISPLAY RECEIVER
baluns. Any sudden movement of these devices could lead
to loss of picture and sound if connections become loose
10. Basic Operation
Main Menu
All basic set up functions can be controlled from the
touch panel
main menu
or the
function buttons
and
numeric keypad
to the
right of the screen.
Switch Mode
Providing all your
HDMI sources, UTP outs,
display receiver
, and
IR inputs
and
outputs
have been correctly connected, setting your
sources to the desired displays is very simple.
Just follow the tips on the right hand side of the
touch screen.
or strained, resulting in unnecessary service call backs.
05
Connect the
HDMI OUT
of the
DISPLAY RECEIVER
to the
HDMI IN
of the
display
.
06
Plug the 3.5mm jack of the
IR RX receiver
into the
IR RX
port
of the
display receiver
balun. Place the
IR RX
receiver
sensor discretely on the front of the
display
with care taken
to achieve a clear line of sight with the remote control to
be used. Again, you may need to adjust the position of the
receiver to achieve the best signal reception.
07
Connect the
display receiver
balun to the
5v power
adaptor
(included with the receiver)
08
Switch on the power to your
input sources, displays
,
and any
display receiver
baluns used. Finally, power up
the MATRIX. Your MX-0816-HDBT should now be fully
connected and ready for use.
ATTENTION
Remember, always switch off the matrix
before unplugging any inputs or outputs – follow last on,
first off protocol
09
If your IR
emitters
and
receivers
are correctly placed you
should now be able control your sources from each individual
display location.
ATTENTION
If there is electrical interference or cable
bends/kinks within the set up the IR is one of the first
functions to fail. If you do not have IR control:
• Check your cables are straight with jacks firmly
connected to ports.
• Check your IR sensors are unobstructed and able to
receive infrared signals.
• Check direct sunlight on the emitters/receivers is
not affecting the infrared signal.

1.
Press the
Switch
option to select your choice of
source
and
display.
Follow the
Tips
on the right hand side of the
screen and first press your
OUTPUT/DISPLAY number
- for
example, display number 1 – and press
OK
.
If you have multiple displays but only one source, you can
save time by pressing the
“A”
(All displays)
button to
automatically select all display outputs connected to the
matrix.
Attention
– if you make a mistake, press
“C” (Clear)
to
clear the previous number and go back a step.
Alternatively, you can always return to the
Main Menu
by
pressing the
“home”
button.
2.
Again, follow the prompts from the
Tips
box – choose
your
source number
– for example, your Blu-ray might be
connected to HDMI input number 3 – select and press
OK
.
Your selected source will now be shown on your chosen
display.
Attention
– if you have previously saved a source and
display combination on either of three
memory settings
, you
can bypass stages 1 and 2 by pressing your saved memory
setting number. See
Save Mode
for details on setting.
Preview and Observe Modes:
As the touch panel is also an LCD display, the
Preview
and
Observe
modes allow the user to check what source is on a
particular output display within the matrix. Both modes follow the
same method of source and display selection as
Switch mode.
Follow the tips on the right side of the screen.
