Introduction

Features

The HDBaseT™ 8 by 8 HDMI Matrix over CAT5e/6/7 supports the
transmission of video (resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and
1920×1200@60Hz) and multi-channel digital audio from eight high definition

sources to eight outputs over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable (up to 100m) for
each output. It supports high resolution digital audio formats such as LPCM

7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio as well
as 3D content that can be displayed when connecting a 3DTV and 3D
source. The matrix can be controlled via IR, RS-232, Telnet or Web GUI.

need their own seperate power supplies, allowing for greater flexibility in
installations.
