HDBaseT 4x4 Matrix Switcher User Guide 1

Introduction

The CM-MT4410-BT-70 is an HDBaseT matrix switch with four HDMI inputs, four
HDBaseT outputs (with two mirrored local HDMI outputs), four de-embedded stereo
audio outputs, and four de-embedded digital audio outputs. It enables cross-point
switching from any input to any output, and supports high-resolution 1080 P, 3D, and
4K*2K. The HDBaseT output works in conjunction with the CM-BT10-RX70 receiver, to
transmit HDMI, IR, RS232, and PoC (Power over Cable) over a Cat5e/Cat6 cable up to
230 ft. (70 m).

Features

 HDTV compatible with high definition transmission resolution up to 1920 x 1200 at

60 Hz, 1080 P at 24 Hz/60 Hz, and supports 3D.

 HDCP compliant and DVI compatible, supporting DVI1.0.

 Auto and manual control of EDID and HDCP management

 HDBaseT outputs allow transmission of HDMI, RS232 and IR up to 230 ft. (70 m)

via Cat5e/Cat6 cable, allowing source equipment to be centrally located and
shared between multiple display devices.

 PoC provides power for all the HDBaseT receivers connected to the HDBaseT

outputs, which eliminates the need for additional power supplies at the receiver
location.

 Matrix switch is controllable via TCP/IP, RS232, IR (remote included), or the front

panel.

 Individual IR inputs allow infrared commands to be sent to remote equipment via

HDBaseT receivers; additionally, 'IR All In' allows a single IR input to be shared to
all connected HDBaseT receivers, reducing the number of IR outputs required by
a control system.

 IR received at the remote located HDBaseT receivers can be routed to the

centrally located source equipment via the 'IR Out' ports.

 Supports PCM, Dolby, and DTS5.1 surround

 LCD indicator shows connection status, switching status, HDCP status, and

output resolution.

(1) IR ALL IN

Global IR control: An IR input signal in this port will pass through to
all connected HDBaseT receivers simultaneously.

Note: This applies to all IR inputs on this switch.

When using a control system, such as Clare Controls, Crestron, or
URC, the 3.5 mm female mono to 3.5 mm male stereo adapter
cable (included) must be used. The female mono end connects to
the control system. The male stereo end connects to the
CM-MT4410-BT-70.

(2) HDMI INPUTS

Type A female HDMI connectors.

(3) IR OUT

An IR signal transmitted via HDBaseT from any of the connected
receivers can be use on any of these outputs for an IR emitter to
control source equipment. These IR OUTs make up an IR matrix
with the IR INs on the HDBaseT receivers. They can be switched in
conjunction with the AV signal, or can be switched separately.

(4) OUTPUTS

IR IN: An IR signal input is transmitted via HDBaseT to the
corresponding receiver and is available for an IR emitter connected
to the receiver's IR OUT port.

HDMI: Mirrored HDMI output for local use.
COAX: HDMI de-embedded digital audio output.
HDBaseT: Connects to the HDBT IN on the CM-BT10-RX70

receiver. Supports transmission of HDMI, bi-directional IR and
RS232 and PoC (power-over-cable) up to 230 ft. (70 m).

RS232: RS232 port for communication with the RS232 port on
corresponding HDBaseT receiver.

AUDIO: HDMI de-embedded stereo audio output.

The CM-MT4410-BT-70 HDBaseT matrix switch can be controlled by the front panel,
IR, or RS232. RS232 control is via the rear RS232 communication port. It is a
female 9-pin D connector. The pin definitions are listed in the table below.
