Quick Installation Guide

Overview

The HDMI IR/Extender with Source Control (500417) allows HDMI equipment to be
connected up to 150 ft (46 m) @ 1080p Deep Color via two (2) Cat 6 unshielded twisted
pair cables in a point-to-point configuration. The HDMI IR/Extender with Source
Control is used with the HDMI 4X4 Matrix Switch (500415).

Applications

Applications include commercial and residential AV systems, classroom projector
systems, digital signage, boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, and medical
information systems.

2. Verify that the distance between the HDMI Receiver and the HDMI Matrix is
within MuxLab specifications (see Specifications table).

3. To install the Receiver:

3a. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant

cable.

3b. Connect the two (2) Cat 5e/6 cables to HDMI LINK A and HDMI LINK B

connectors on the Receiver.

Note: Verify that the cables are connected straight-through (i.e., HDMI LINK A to

HDMI LINK A and HDMI LINK B to HDMI LINK B) and not inverted.

4. Connect the 12 VDC power supply to the Receiver first, and then plug the power
supply into an AC power outlet. If power is present, the green power LED of the
Receiver will be ON.

Note: Power the HDMI IR/Extender Balun only after all connections are made.

5. Power the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.

6. If infrared remote sensor is needed, connect the IR Sensor to the 3.5mm Stereo
Jack of the receiver.

Note: The external sensor will disable the internal sensor of the product when

connected.

7. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed to the hand-held remote control. For a
clear IR signal reception, aim the hand-held remote control at the top of the IR
Sensor enclosure.

8. The push button may also be used to manually select one of the four sources; one
of the four LEDs will light up to indicate which source has been selected.

9. The user can control the HDMI Matrix and the source using the internal or external
IR Sensor of the receiver.

10. The following diagram shows the final configuration.
