1. Introduction

The BG-UM88-100M-KIT is an 18Gbps 8 by 8 HDBaseT(100M) matrix switch that can connect 8 HDMI sources to 16 displays. Each HDMI output can be mirrored to allow a simultaneous output using a CAT cable. Resolution is up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. The HDBaseT output’s transmission distance is up to 328ft / 100m over a single CAT 5e/6/7 cable.

The device supports IR matrix and Audio matrix functionality. The ARC function allows the HDMI or HDBaseT display device’s audio signal to be returned to or extracted from the coaxial and analog audio outputs using the Web GUI or ASCII code control. The IR and RS-232 signal transmission is bi-directional. For example, the IR signal will transmit from port 1 of the matrix to the HDBaseT receiver connected to output port 1. The BG-UM88-100M-KIT can be controlled via the front panel buttons, IR remote, RS232, LAN, and Web GUI

6. IR Remote

① Power on or Standby: Power on the Matrix or set it to

standby mode.

② Input 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8: Select input source button.

: Select the last or next input source button.

③ Output 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8 button: Select output source

button. All: Select all output source simultaneously. For example, when you press the “All” button and then press input “1” button, at this time the input “1” source will output to all display devices.

Operation instruction: You need to press the output button firstly and then press input button to select the corresponding input source. For example, Press Output-X (X means output button from 1 to 8 , including “All” button) Then press Input-Y (Y means input button from 1 to 8 )

The Matrix can be selected input and output source by using the IR remote. There are two ways to receive the IR remote signal.

The first way: The IR window accepts the IR remote signal. When using the IR remote, the furthest distance is 7 meters and the angle is ± 45°. The diagram is shown as below:

Page 10

- 8 / 29 -

Alternate method: If the IR receiver window of the Matrix is blocked or the Matrix is installed in a closed area out of infrared line of sight, the IR receiver cable can be inserted to the “IR EXT” port to receive the IR remote signal. The furthest distance of using the IR remote is 7 meters and the IR remote is directly faced to the IR receiver head. The diagram is shown as below.

Page 11

7. IR Control System

The device is not only a matrix switch but also an extender. It supports bi-directional IR control. When the matrix is connected to an HDBaseT Receiver through CAT 5e/6/7 cable, users can control remote display devices (HDBaseT) or input source devices (Matrix) through IR signal transmission. Note that the IR signal transmission method is different from Matrix (local) to HDBaseT Receiver (remote) than from HDBaseT Receiver (remote) to Matrix (local).

At the Matrix end (Local end): the IR signal is one-to-one transmission. This means the IR INPUT 1 port signal of the Matrix will emit to the IR output port of the HDBaseT Receiver 1 and the IR INPUT 2 port signal of the Matrix will emit to IR output port of the HDBaseT Receiver 2 etc. The IR signal doesn’t follow the video switch. The IR INPUT ALL port signal of the Matrix will emit to all IR output ports of HDBaseT receivers simultaneously. Please see the following connection diagram.

Figure 1: IR connection diagram (Matrix end)

Page 12

- 10 / 29 -

At HDBaseT receiver (Remote end): The IR signal follows video switch. For example, the HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 1 is from the HDMI INPUT 3 port, so IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 1 will emit to IR OUTPUT 3 port of the Matrix. The HDMI output signal on the HDBaseT Receiver 3 is from the HDMI INPUT 6 port. Then, IR input signal of the HDBaseT Receiver 3 will emit to IR OUTPUT 6 port of the Matrix etc. Any of HDBaseT Receiver’s IR IN signal can output from IR OUTPUT ALL port of the Matrix and the IR signal output of the Matrix depends on your IR remote of source device. Please see the following connection diagram.

9. EDID Management

This Matrix has 21 factory defined EDID settings, 2 user-defined EDID modes and 16 copy EDID modes. You can select defined EDID mode or copy EDID mode to input port through front panel buttons, ASCII control or Web GUI.

On-panel button operation: On the initial OLED display screen, press “MENU” button to enter

the EDID setting interface, press “UP/DOWN” button to select the required ED ID, and press

the “ENTER” button. A prompt “copy to input :” will appear. Then press “UP/DOWN” button to select the input port you need to set, and press “ENTER” button again to confirm this operation.

RS-232 control operation: Connect the Matrix to PC with a serial cable, then open a Serial Command tool on PC to send ASCII command “s edid in x from z!” to set EDID. For details, please refer to “EDID Setting” in the ASCII command list of “12. RS-232 Control Command”.

Web GUI Operation: Please check the EDID management in the “Input page” of “11. Web GUI User Guide”.

10. Matrix Audio and RS-232 Introduction

The audio Matrix supports 28 channel audio inputs and 16 channel audio outputs. Audio inputs include 8 channel HDMI input audio, 8 channel HDMI output ARC audio, 8 channel HDBaseT output ARC audio, 2 channel analog audio input, 1 channel optical audio input, and 1 channel coaxial audio input; audio outputs include 8 channel coaxial/analog audio output (When the audio format is PCM, coaxial audio and analog audio are the same; when it is multi-channel audio, only the coaxial audio output is active), and 8 channel HDMI audio embedded output. You can switch audio and set audio parameters through RS-232 command and Web GUI, please refer to Web and RS-232 instructions for details.

The RS-232 channel is also one-to-one transmission. For example, the RS-232 port of the OUTPUT 1 at Matrix end follows the RS-232 port at HDBaseT Receiver 1, The RS-232 port of the OUTPUT 3 at Matrix end follows the RS-232 port at HDBaseT Receiver 3 etc. Please see the following connection diagram.
