The Gefen 4x4 Matrix for HDMI 1.3

The 4x4 Matrix for HDMI 1.3 routes high defi nition at resolutions up to 1080p
with multichannel digital audio from any four HDMI sources to any four displays.
The 4x4 Matrix eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect HDMI sources.
It works with any HDMI source that connects to an HDMI display, supporting
advanced digital audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master
Audio. 3D content can be displayed when connecting a 3DTV and 3D source.
Each source is accessible at all times by any display by selecting it with an IR
remote, or using the RS-232 port to switch the unit.

How It Works

Connect any four HDMI sources to the Matrix’s HDMI inputs. Then connect four
HDMI devices or displays to the Matrix’s outputs. Once the sources, the Matrix
and the displays are powered on and connected, select which sources you want
to view on the displays using the IR remote or RS-232 connectivity.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE 4X4 MATRIX FOR HDMI 1.3

• You should connect all the cables and power supply prior to connecting
power to the HDMI sources and 4x4 Matrix for HDMI 1.3.

• When powering the sources, the display needs to point to the source input.

• 3D content can be displayed by connecting a 3DTV and 3D source.

• Display information (EDID) is needed by the source devices to determine the
capabilities of the connected display. This is especially important for HDMI

1.3 sources because without the right information in the EDID none of the
features for HDMI 1.3 will be enabled. The 4x4 Matrix for HDMI 1.3 features
an EDID selection that will allow the user to choose from a external EDID
from an attached display or a built-in internal EDID. Please see page 7 for
more details.
