Four Component Sources
to Four Displays. Independently.
Connect and Access Any Four (4)
Hi Def. Sources to Any Four Hi Def. Displays
The 4x4 COMPONENT Matrix routes high definition video in multiple resolutions up to 1080p plus stereo audio from any of the four Component /Audio sources to four displays. Any four Component / Audio sources to any four displays using matrix switching allows for maximum versatility for integrated systems. The 4x4 Component / Audio matrix eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect sources or displays. It works with DVD players, DVR systems, HT PCs, and satellite set top boxes that connect via component to displays. Every source is accessible at all times by any display by routing it using an IR remote or RS232 smart control devices.
How It Works
You simply connect the four component and audio sources to the Matrix's inputs. Then connect four displays to the Matrix's outputs. Once the sources, the matrix and the displays are powered and connected, you simply select which sources you want view on which displays using the IR remote or RS232 smart control devices.
Note: This Component/Audio product supports BOTH Audio and Video signals, If used in conjunction with the EXT-COMPAUD-141 it will extend component video and audio up to 1000 feet (300 meters) using one CAT-5e cable

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the 4x4 Component Audio Matrix. The 4x4 Component Audio Matrix switches four component video with analog audio
sources to any four component with analog audio displays. The 4x4 Component Audio Matrix switcher has four component video with analog audio
inputs and four component with analog audio outputs. There are 4 component video ( 3 RCA) with analog audio ( 2 RCA) inputs and 4 component ( 3 RCA) with analog audio ( 2 RCA) outputs.
Note: The switching is done by using either the RMT-16-IR remote control or through the RS232 port. The 4x4 Component Audio Matrix is rack mountable.

RMT16-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT16-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up. The side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT16-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indicator light on the remote will fl ash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These ac­tions will cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be repeated.
Note: The RMT16-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation, the second battery is complimentary.

DDC
Short form for Display Data Channel. It is a VESA standard for communication between a monitor and a video adapter. Using DDC, a monitor can inform the video card about its properties, such as maximum resolution and color depth. The video card can then use this information to ensure that the user is presented with valid options for confi guring the display.
DDWG
Digital Display Working Group DDWG are the creators of the DVI specifi cation.
DVI
Digital Visual Interface. Connection standard developed by Intel for connecting computers to digital monitors such as fl at panels and DLP projectors. A consumer electronics version, not necessarily compatible with the PC version, is used as a connection standard for HDTV tuners and displays. Transmits an uncompressed digital signal to the display. The latter version uses HDCP copy protection to prevent unauthorized copying.
HDCP
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Created by Intel, HDCP is used with HDTV signals over DVI and HDMI connections and on D-Theater D-VHS recordings to prevent unauthorized duplication of copy written material.
HDMI
The High-Defi nition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).
HDTV
High-Defi nition Television. The high-resolution subset of our DTV system. The ATSC defi nes HDTV as a 16:9 image with twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of our existing system, accompanied by 5.1 channels of Dolby Digital audio. The CEA defi nes HDTV as an image with 720 progressive or 1080 interlaced active (top to bottom) scan lines. 1280:720p and 1920:1080i are typically accepted as high-defi nition scan rates.
RS-232
Recommended Standard 232. This is the de facto standard for communication through PC serial ports. It can refer to cables and ports that support the RS232 standard.
VESA
Video Electronic Standards Association, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish and maintain industry wide standards for video cards and monitors. VESA was instrumental in the introduction of the Super VGA and Extended VGA video graphics standards with a refresh rate of 70 Hz, minimizing fl icker and helping to reduce user eyestrain and fatigue.
