do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock
to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying
the product.
FCC Required Text:
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate, radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
12. Use only with the cart, stand the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

Chapter 1:
Introduction
The gMV88 UltraMatrix is the culmination of years of ELAN experience in the design and perfection of multi-zone audio and video switching.
Incorporating the features and reliability that has made ELAN the fastest-growing manufacturer of multi-room A/V products, the UltraMatrix series
of switches are ELAN’s most powerful and flexible multi-source/multi-zone controllers to date. Each UltraMatrix switcher seamlessly blends HDMI
routing along with full audio distribution. In fact, the UltraMatrix switchers provide more options for audio distribution than any previous product.
UltraMatrix switchers work exclusively on the ELAN g! control network.
This unit has been designed with ultimate flexibility in mind. In addition to the analog, optical digital and coaxial digital audio inputs each UltraMatrix switcher allows the audio from HDMI inputs and the Audio Return Path (ARP) of each HDBaseT output to be easily routed to zone outputs. Zone
outputs include analog, coaxial digital, HDBaseT and HDMI. The ELAN UltraMatrix switchers have an extensive feature set that is covered in detail in
the UltraMatrix Designers Guide and the ELAN gMV Configurator Training Guide.
