The AT-HD44M-SR 4x4 HDMI over CAT5 Matrix with IR Control Path provides the most exible
and cost effective solution in the market to route high denition video sources plus multi-channel (up to 7.1-channel) digital audio from any of the four HDMI sources to the remote displays
at the same time. Through low cost CAT5/5e LAN cables, not only high quality video and audio
can be transmitted to the display sites, but also users can switch among 4 HDMI sources using
the push button or remote control. With single power design at the source site, each remote
module is easily installed without power supply. Furthermore, the built-in IR extension function
makes users at display site access the DVD player, PS3 or any HDMI equipped devices directly!
FEATURES:
• State-of-the-art Silicon Image (founder of HDMI) chipset embedded for upmost compatibility
and reliability
• HDMI 1.2a compliant
• HDCP compliant
• Allows any source to be displayed on multiple displays at the same time
• Allows any HDMI display to view any HDMI source at any time

• The matrix master can switch every output channels to any HDMI inputs by push button, IR
remote control, or RS-232 control
• Allows controlling local HDMI sources such as DVD and TiVo by IR extender through control
path at remote receiver
• Allows to control main matrix center through control line at remote receiver
• Extends video signal up to 35m (115 feet) over CAT5e at 1080p

Bypass means the matrix will maintain playing the original format of HDMI signals in video and audio. By
setting at this mode, the users may encounter compatibility issue among different kinds of HDMI sources and
displays. If you cannot get the audio and/or video output normally at the system installation, please change the
DIP switch setting to default mode or even safe mode to verify the functionality of the device.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
Warning!
There could be unexpected consequences resulted from inappropriate firmware update
operation. Please do it with caution.
1. Please unzip the Matrix_Firmware_Update.zip into your designated folder.
2. Please turn off the power of the MATRIX and set DIP location of [SW Main] at
Pin#1-ON , Pin#2-ON , Pin#3-OFF , & Pin#4-OFF .
3. Please execute the file Matrix_Firmware_Update.exe
4. In the pop-up window, at [Select Chip], please select W78E365.
5. In the pop-up window, at [Select File], please choose the BIN file in the designated
folder, as shown in the picture.
6.In the pop-up window, please select the [File Format] to Binary.
13
7. Please make sure your PC has direct connection to the RS-232 port of the MATRIX, as
shown in the picture (left), that in [Communication Setting] the onlne status should be “Wait to
connect”. If the RS-232 connection is not firmly established, you will see the online status is
“Disconnect.” If so, please check the RS-232 connection until the online status becomes “Wait
to Connect.”
8. Please turn on the MATRIX. The firmware update process will automatically initiate.
9. The firmware update process is successful if you see the [Information] window pops up to
inform you that the process is complete. If you see the [Error] window pops up, please turn off
the MATRIX and turn it on again. If necessary, please redo the whole sequences 1-9.
10. The message “Program: OK!” means the firmware update process is successful. If you see
the [Error] window pops up after the message [Program: OK!], please ignore it.
11. Turn off MATRIX. Set DIP location of [SW Main] at Pin#1-OFF , Pin#2-OFF ,
Pin#3-ON , & Pin#4-OFF .
12. Turn the MATRIX back on and return to normal operation.

NOTICE
1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to
retrieve and provide DVI/HDMI EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e
125MHz LAN cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually
in bulk cable 300m/1000ft form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables
(usually in patch cord form). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP ca-
bles. A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6
cable. For long extension users, solid LAN cables are your only choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, you
can use shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmis-
sion.
6. Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance will be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is
subject to your LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT6 cable is
recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the rst HDMI input [HDMI
input #1] generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
8. The AT-HD44M-SR has been tested extensively and found that it doesn’t require external
power supply. If in rare situation you nd it cannot work with the AT-HD44M-SR, please use
any +5V power adapter to plug in the power jack and see if it can work. If not, please contact
your technical support for further service.
9. Additional IR remote controls and IR emitter cables can be purchased as optional accessories to control the HDMI sources located separately.
