1. INTRODUCTION
This 4×2 HDMI to HDBaseT/HDMI Matrix with Stereo Amplier provides
high performance audio and video support, including HDR and
ARC, making it ideally suited for multi-zone residential or corporate
installations. Any of four high-bandwidth (18Gbps) HDMI sources may be
routed to either of the two HDBaseT Zone outputs via a single Cat.5e/6/7
cable (up to 70m at 1080p or up to 35m at 4K) with Zone A’s output also
being mirrored to a local HDMI output. Despite HDBaseT’s 10.2Gbps
bandwidth limitation, 4K UHD HDMI video sources, up to and including
4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) as well as 10/12-bit sources with HDR, are able to
be processed and extended by the use of AVLC (Adaptive Visually Lossless
Compression) when connected to compatible AVLC Receivers providing
gorgeous video quality.
Pass-through of multiple digital audio formats such as LPCM 7.1,
Bitstream and advanced HD Bitstream with audio sampling rates up to
192kHz are supported via the HDBaseT and HDMI outputs. Additionally,
the integrated stereo amplier provides up to 40 watts of power (20W per
channel) for local speakers to output the audio from the sources routed
to either of the HDBaseT outputs, or from the ARC audio coming back
from the display connected to the HDMI output, oering a exible sound
experience (LPCM 2.0 sources only).
This unit also contains a specialised IR learning and smart-routing
functionality. IR codes from each connected source’s remote can be
learned and then recalled using this unit’s dedicated remote control,
or the mobile device app. Intelligent IR routing ensures that only the
IR signals appropriate to the source being viewed in the current zone
are used by the dedicated remote control while the mobile device app
provides the ability to send IR commands to control any connected
source. IR command sets may also be uploaded or downloaded
to/from the unit via XML les.
The 48V PoH (Power over HDBaseT) function can provide power to
compatible Receivers, providing greater exibility in installations. This unit
can be controlled in a wide variety of dierent ways including front panel
buttons, RS-232, IR remote, Telnet, WebGUI and a mobile device app.

6.5.2 IR Remote (Assignable Buttons)
Standard Mode
The function of the buttons on the bottom half of the
IR remote are user defined within the WebGUI. They
are used to tell the unit to transmit IR commands to
the source device currently being viewed in the user’s
current Zone location.
For example, if the user is watching Input 3 while in
Zone A, then pressing any of these buttons will send
the associated user-defined commands to the device
connected to Input 3 via the IR Blaster connected to
IR Output 3. If the user then moves to Zone B, which is
watching Input 2, and presses the same buttons, the
unit will send commands associated with Input 2 via
the IR Blaster connected to IR Output 2.

If the “Adv.” button is pressed, the unit will switch
into the “Advanced” IR command mode, changing
the functionality of these buttons to use additional
IR commands that have been defined by the user
within the WebGUI. Similar to the other user defined
buttons, they are used to tell the unit to transmit IR
commands to the source device currently being viewed
in the user’s current Zone location. Buttons that have
Advanced mode functionality are easily identified by
their alternative coloring.
