input or output cable, so as to improve the anti-interference ability of the system.
Switch off and disconnect the equipment from all power sources prior to handling, installation or wiring, otherwise it
may cause electric shock or equipment damage.
This product grounds to earth by the grounding wires. To avoid electric shocks, grounding wires and the earth must
be linked together. Before the connection of input or output terminals, please make sure this product is correctly grounded.
All terminals and wiring should be fully sheathed or otherwise covered before connecting the equipment to a power
supply so as to avoid cause electric shock.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Be sure to read this manual, and fully comply with the safety recommendations, before undertaking maintenance or
operation.
Do not touch terminals whilst the equipment is in a powered state, or it may cause a shock, incorrect operation. Switch off and disconnect the equipment from all power sources prior to cleaning or tightening terminals or
connections. These operations can lead to electric shock in a live current state.
Switch off and disconnect the equipment from all power sources prior to the connection or disconnection of
communication signal cables, expansion modules, or other adapters, or it may cause damage to the equipment, incorrect operation, or lead to electric shock in a live current state.
Do not dismantle the equipment and avoid damaging the internal electrical components. Please refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
DISPOSAL
Be sure to dispose of the equipment in accordance with local regulations.

1 FUNCTION
The 4K-8x8-L is a fully loaded 2U rack mountable 8x8 matrix switch incorporating HDBaseT technology. The 4K-8x8-L allows for the input of up to 8 HDMI 1.4, HDCP 2.2 inputs and can be switched to any combination of the 8 available outputs, each of which has a up to 70m CATx HDBaseT output or a local HDMI output.
The 4K-8x8-L can pass 4K @60Hz (YUV 4:2:0) resolutions, allowing the distribution of UHD content of sources at distances of up to 70m.
The 4K-8x8-L incorporates a comprehensive audio switch layer. On both the input and output side of the 4K­8x8-L are 8x SPDIF coaxial digital audio connectors and 8x 3.5mm jack audio connectors for analogue stereo audio. This audio layer allows the 4K-8x8-L to integrate with dedicated audio amplifiers or audio distribution systems.
Another key feature of the 4K-8x8-L is the inclusion of the bi-directional infra-red switch. On the rear of the 4K­8x8-L are several 3.5mm stereo jacks dedicated to infra-red functionality, some for infra-red input to the 4K­8x8-L and some allowing output of infra-red from the 4K-8x8-L. This functionality can allow the control of sources located locally with the 4K-8x8-L from screen locations up to 70m away with the use of the included infra-red peripherals. Alternatively, with the use of infra-red peripherals or a dedicated control system, the user can have control of their screens from the centralized matrix location.
The 4K-8x8-L incorporates 12V power over cable (POC), this enables the powering of the HDBaseT receivers from the matrix location via the HDBaseT outputs over the CATx cable. The 4K-8x8-L is designed for use with the 4K-RX725 HDBaseT Lite receiver from Smart-e.
The HDBaseT Output ports enable remote connectivity to display devices fitted with a Smart-e 4K-RX725 Receiver (or other compliant HDBaseT receiver) ≤70-meters over copper twisted pair cable. 12V power is supplied from the matrix to the transmitter through the twisted pair cabling.
The HDMI inputs and outputs provide active-input ports, enabling the installer to connect extended cable lengths ≤15-meters dependant on resolution.
Digital signal processing technology ensures that signals are transported without distortion and the best quality output is transmitted to the display device. A fully featured EDID management system and HDCP 2.2 compliance ensure optimal image quality and compatibility.
The 4K-8x8-L can be controlled by a variety of methods including:
▪ Remote control, via supplied infra-red handset.
▪ Remote control via RS232 serial command
▪ Remote control via TCP/IP Ethernet
▪ Control via integrated web server
▪ Front panel buttons with LCD indicator

13.2.2 EDID MANAGEMENT
To select the EDID management mode of the 4K-8x8-L web browser, left click on the EDID tab in the top left of the window.
This will open the EDID management grid with the current settings highlighted in either green or black.
The left column labels inputs 1 to 8, the top row is split in to outputs and set. Outputs refer to the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs of the 4K-8x8-L, the set values refer to the preset EDID values held within the memory of the 4K-8x8-L. For more understanding of these values and EDID settings in general please refer to section
10.2 of this manual.
4K-8x8-L USER MANUAL V1.0
© 2018 Smart-e (UK) Ltd
www.smart-e.co.uk
Clicking any of the boxes once will turn them green, clicking on them a second time will turn them black. When a box under any of the output columns is green, this is setting the 4K-8x8-L to read EDID from this respective HDMI output. When in any of the output columns a box is marked black this is telling the 4K-8x8-L to read EDID from the respective HDBaseT output. In any of the set columns, when a box is highlighted green it is telling the 4K-8x8-L to assign from preset table A the EDID value held in the respective memory location, when the box is black it is telling the 4K-8x8-L to read EDID from the respective memory location in table B.
Clicking on the box does not send the command to the 4K-8x8-L does not send the command to the 4K-8x8-L nor does it set the 4K-8x8-L to read EDID dynamically. TO send the command and read the EDID the user must left click on the OK button to the top left of the EDID grid.
There is no indication of the change on the grid, but the LCD will light up and the changes will be noted on there. It is advised to power cycle the 4K-8x8-L after new EDID values have been assigned as not all sources are able to update during operation.

14 HDBASET CABLING
It is advised to use T568B termination at the 4K-8x8-L and receiver termination points.
NOTE: As the 4K-8x8-L utilises power over cable (POC), if the CATx cable is incorrectly terminated there is a danger of damaging both the 4K-8x8-L output and receiver. If you suspect an incorrectly terminated cable may have been applied, please contact Smart-e support immediately.
HDBaseT signals can be susceptible to noise, causing image loss or snowy effects on output screens. The best way to mitigate against these problems is by using a high quality CATx cable. Smart-e specify cable as below.
RECOMMENDED CATx CABLE
Connectix CAT6a U/FTP Solid core cable
