INTRODUCTION

The Linear 4x4 Matrix for HDMI allows maximum versatility and exibility for creating
an integrated HD system. The 4x4 matrix routes digital audio and high denition digital

video in resolutions up to 1080p from any of four HDMI sources to any combination
of four displays through the matrix. It works with Blu-Ray / HD-DVD players, TiVo
systems, Home Theater PCs, Satellite and Cable Set Top Boxes that can connect to
an HDMI display. Each source is accessible for viewing on any combination of displays
by selecting it with the supplied IR remote.

How It Works
You simply connect the sources to the Matrix’s HDMI inputs. Then connect four

displays to the Matrix’s outputs. Once the sources, the matrix, and the displays are
powered and connected, you use the IR remote to select which sources you want to
view on which displays.

OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE 4X4 MATRIX FOR HDMI

HDMI/HDCP Compliant•
Compatible with all HDMI and DVI* displays•
Display information (EDID) is sent from the display connected to HDMI Output •

Port 1 to all sources connected to the 4X4 Matrix for HDMI. If a DVI display is
connected to HDMI Output Port 1, the remaining HDMI Output Ports will be
scanned in succession for an EDID from an HDMI display to use. If all displays
connected to the 4X4 Matrix for HDMI are DVI displays, the EDID from the DVI
display connected to HDMI Output Port 1 is used.

Switching a display to a different source may cause all other displays •

currently viewing that source to momentarily icker. This is caused by syncing/

handshaking operations.

NOTE: *When used with a HDMI to DVI adapter
