Cable quality is critical when handling 600 MHz HDMI signals. It is highly
recommend that Gefen Locking HDMI cables, 10-foot or shorter, be used in
the installation. Gefen HDMI cables have been designed and tested to work at
600 MHz and reliably transport the full 18 Gbps throughput of HDMI 2.0.

(1 - 4) on the rear panel of the matrix. Up to four source devices can be
connected.
2. Connect a 4K Ultra HD display to each of the Out ports (A - D) on the rear panel
of the matrix. Up to four displays can be connected. Use the ports marked “DS” to
allow for optional down-scaling of the source signal. Use the “US” ports to provide
optional up-scaling capability.
► Audio De-embedding
3. The matrix provides one analog and two digital outputs for each HDMI output for audio
de-embedding:
a. Connect a 3.5mm mini-stereo cable from each L/R port to an A/V receiver.
b. Connect a RCA cable from each coax port to an A/V receiver.
c. Connect an optical cable from each TOSLINK® port to an A/V receiver.
► IP Control
4. Connect a shielded CAT-5e (or better) cable from the IP Control port on the rear panel
of the matrix to the Local Area Network. See Network Conguration using Syner-G
(page 10) for more information on conguration.
► RS-232 (optional)
5. Connect a DB-9 cable from the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the matrix to the
automation device. See RS-232 Conguration (page 69) for more information.
► IR Control (Optional)
6. Connect an IR extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) or an electrical IR cable
from an automation system to the IR In / Ext port on the rear panel of the matrix.
Connecting an IR extender is useful if the IR sensor on the front panel will be hidden
from view.
► Power
7. Connect the included 24V DC power supply to the power connector on the matrix.
8. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply and connect the power cord
to an available electrical outlet.

There may be situations where the IR sensor is blocked by a cabinet or other mounting
device. In this case, the included IR extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) can
be connected to the IR In/Ext port on the rear panel of the matrix. The sensor on the IR
extender behaves exactly like the sensor on the front panel of the matrix. Always point the
IR remote control unit in the direction of the IR sensor.

On the top-left portion of the matrix, there are four sets of ve LED indicators. Each set of
ve LED indicators resides above each of the four output buttons.

LED indicators 1 through 4 represent each input on the matrix. If one of these LED
indicators are illuminated, then that means that the input is active.
The “Off” LED indicates that the output is turned off (masked). Refer to Masking /
Unmasking Outputs (page 18) for more information on masking and unmasking outputs.
Each of the output buttons are used to route inputs to outputs. When an output button is
illuminated, it represent the currently selected output. For example, in the illustration below,
Input 1 has been routed to Output A:

is the active input

Indicates that Output A is the
currently selected output
In addition, in the above illustration, Input 2 is routed to Output B, Input 3 is routed to
Output C, and Input 4 is routed to Output D. If the number of the input is the same as the
number of the output, then this is called the “one-to-one” routing state. This is the factory-
default routing state of the matrix.

Routing Inputs to Outputs
When the matrix is shipped from the factory, the matrix is set to “one-to-one” routing
mode. This means that Input 1 is routed to Output A, Input 2 is routed to Output B,
Input 3 is routed to Output C, and so on. To change the routing state for any output,
follow the instructions below.

Using the Front Panel
To change the routing state of an output, press and release the button of the desired output
to advance to the next input.
In the illustration below, the source connected to Input 2 is currently routed to Output B.
For this example, we will route Input 4 to Output B.

When masking outputs through the front panel, the IR remote control must be used.
Outputs can also be masked by using the built-in web interface. See Routing Inputs and
Masking Outputs (page 31) for more information.
When an output is masked, the signal is blocked at the output. For example, if Input 2
is routed to Output A, Output B, and Output C. If Output B is masked, then only the A/V
signal on Output B will be blocked. Output A and Output C will remain unaffected.

Introduction to the Web Interface
The Ultra HD 600 MHz 4x4 Matrix w/HDR and Audio De-Embedder includes a built-in
web interface. We recommend that the web interface be used to control the matrix as it
provides easy management of all features used by the matrix.
Basic OperationBasic Operation
► Logging In
1. Launch your favorite web browser.
2. In the address bar, type the IP address of the matrix.
3. The login page will be displayed.
4. Select the user from the Username drop-down list.
• Operator
The Operator username provides restricted access to the web interface.
This username allows access to both the Routing and Status tabs,
locking / unlocking and powering on / off the matrix.
The default password for the Operator user name is Operator.
All passwords are case-sensitive. For information on changing
the default password, see Conguring Network Settings (page 52).
page | 24
Page 37
Basic OperationBasic Operation
The Web Interface
• Administrator
The Administrator username provides full access to all features
within the web interface.
The default password for the Administrator user name is Admin.
All passwords are case-sensitive. For information on changing
the default password, see Conguring Network Settings (page 52).
5. Enter the password for the selected username.
6. Click the Login button.
7. After a few moments, the Routing tab will be displayed.
► Administrator vs Operator
As mentioned earlier, logging in as Operator provides restricted access to many
of the available features within the web interface. This is summarized in the table
below:
Administrator Operator
• Access to all features • Access to Routing and Status
tabs, only.
• No access to the Preset Edit
button under the Routing tab.

Basic OperationBasic Operation
The Web Interface
► Tabs and Sub-tabs
The web interface is organized into tabs, in the top-portion of the screen. Clicking on
a tab will display a different screen.
The Setup and Manage EDID tab have their own set of tabs, which we will refer to as
“sub-tabs”, as shown below.
Screen sub-tab
Screen tab
► Buttons
Several screen contain buttons which allow the selection of a particular mode or
setting. Click the button for the desired setting. Buttons that are red represent
a setting that is “turned on”. If the button is pale-yellow, then the feature is “turned off”:
• Feature is “turned on”
• Feature is “turned off”
page | 26
Page 39
Basic OperationBasic Operation
The Web Interface
• If a button is “grayed-out”, then this means that the setting is not available. This
usually requires that another setting must be enabled before setting a “sub-set”
of that feature.
For example, note that both the Login Message on Connect buttons are disabled in the illustration, below:
In order to change this setting, the TCP Access must be enabled.
After clicking the Enable button, next to TCP Access, the Login Message on
Connect buttons are now available.
► Legend
The legend, near the bottom-right corner of the screen, denes the colors used to
indicate the status of an input or output:
page | 27
Page 40
Basic OperationBasic Operation
The Web Interface
Active / Good
Columns or rows that are highlighted in green, indicate that an active source or
sink is connected to the that input / output.
Error
Although a rare occurrence, this indicates an error (e.g. HDCP, etc.) with the
source or sink device. These rows or columns are highlighted in amber.
Inactive
Columns or rows which are highlighted in gray, indicate the absence of a source
or sink device on that input or output.
Preset / Available Route
Squares that are light tan, indicate that the input and output is available for
routing.
Switch Audio / Video
A red square indicates where an input has been routed to an output.
Off
Black squares indicate that the input is set to the OFF state. The OFF input is
an additional input that can be selected to simulate a source that is not present.
