Zone Receiver (RX) Overview:

A Zone Rx unit is positioned close to your display device and connected to the Octava
Matrix with a Twisted Pair (CAT6) cable.

An Octava compatible Zone receiver must be used with the HD4xSTPMX Matrix.
Compatible Zone Receiver: HD70STP-RX

The HD70STP-RX Zone Receiver uses Power over Ethernet, PoE and is directly
powered by the HD4xSTPMX over the CAT6 cable.

Infrared Overview:

IR can be routed from any of the 8 connected Zones back to control:

1) the Matrix and 2) the connected Source devices. The Matrix also
allows IR Routing + IR Broadcast for maximum utility.

Routed IR: The IR Out 1-4 are "routed" for optimum IR control.
For example, If Zone H is switched to HDMI Input 4. IR Commands
from Zone H will only be sent to control Input 4 and not affect other
input sources.

IR Broadcast : The IR Broadcast port routes All IR received to the IR
Broadcast port.

Remote Control Guide:

2 types of remotes are provided. Master Remote (Type C) and Zone Remote (Type D).
The Master Remote (Type C) can fully control the matrix from any zone or directly in front

of matrix
The Zone Remote (Type D) is a simplified remote only allowing user to switch inputs for

each zone. The Matrix can detect the location( Zone A-H) of the Zone Remote and will only
switch inputs for the detected Zone.

For example, user is located in Zone H and press 2 on the Zone Remote. The Matrix will

automatically set Output H to Input 2 without affecting the other Zones.

Ethernet cable recommendations:

Using shielded CAT6a or CAT7 cable will ensure maximum signal
integrity plus optimum rejection of external interference.

UTP CAT5 and CAT6 cables can be used with your Octava system
though they may result in limiting the maximum attainable distance
between the Matrix and the Rx unit when running HD signals.

Cable Type

Note

1

CAT 7 cable is recommended

Best

2

CAT6a cable is recommended

Good
3

UTP CAT 6 cable

For short links 100ft or less.

Use EIA/TIA-568-B standard when terminating your CAT5, CAT6 or
CAT7 cables.

Ethernet cable installation recommendations:

Use your cable suppliers recommended RJ-45 connector/crimp tool
with your CAT5, CAT6 or CAT7 cables and ensure you pay particular
attention to the quality of the termination on all cables.

DO / Recommend

Use shielded CAT6a or CAT 7 with good RJ-45 terminators

Use a direct cable connection between the Matrix and
Receiver unit.

DO NOT

Do Not connect thru Ethernet switches or routers

For optimum signal integrity avoid passing your signals
though any form of Patch-panel, wall-plate or punch-down
terminations

Do Not connect cables thru extraneous RJ-45 couplers,
wall plates.

Do Not tightly coil /loop the Ethernet cables

Serial Control Via LAN Port Control Setup:

The LAN /Ethernet port can be used to control the matrix. A Moxa
NE-4100 embedded device servers is used to achieve this. The
NE-4100 support 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, and provide ready-to-use
operation modes, including TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP. This
devices enables sending serial commands to the HD4XSTPMX using
the LAN port. Once connected, and configured the RS-232
commands can be sent to control the HD4xSTPMX.

Complete detail instructions on using the NE-4100 can be found
here:

http://www.moxa.com/doc/manual/NE/4100/v6/NE-4100_Series_Use

Example:

To send a 9600 baud, 10 byte command to Zone H.
Step1: Send RS-232 Forwarding Command to matrix. This will set up the

matrix to "forward" the next 10 Byte command to Zone H at 9600baud.

Done.

The RS-232 port will remain connected to the requested Zone for 1 second
after command has been sent (step 2). This allows for any reply to be
received from the zones.

After 1 sec, all zones will be disconnected from RS-232
