The Wyrestorm PRO PLUS (PP) range uses a
2nd generation HDBaseT ‘Lite’ technology to sit
comfortably between our PRO range of matrices and

extenders and agship HDBaseT products to enable

the transmission of full, uncompressed HD 1080p
video and audio, with discrete 2-way IR control over
distances of up to 70m (131ft) using a single Cat5e/6/7
cable.

While HDBaseT is intended for high end, high spec

installations, HDBaseT Lite has been specically developed

for mid-range projects that perhaps do not necessitate the

such a high specication or indeed, a premium price tag.

HDBaseT Lite shares many of the same strengths as full

HDBT, such as a ‘one-cable’ distribution method, the same

signal stability and resistance to interference, but it removes

the Ethernet distribution and reduces signalling rate and

resolution, while still allowing fully controllable HD distribution
over single cable runs up to 70m (230ft).

Furthermore, as Wyrestorm systems are fully cascadable,
this 70m/230ft transmission range can be increased up to a
further 7 times by connecting to multiple HDBT Lite extender
sets for longer distributions.

Pro Plus matrices also include simultaneous HDMI outputs,

mirrored to the HDBT outputs to allow easy connection to
local devices such as AV receivers or additional, displays
to essentially double the number of outputs. Additionally,
duplicate HDMI also enables transmission over cable formats
other than Cat5e by using alternative Wyrestorm Extender
products such as Coax, Fibre or full HDBaseT for unrivalled
choice and compatibility.

The system offers exibility and reliability of signal distribution,
combined with innovative features and an ease of use to
deliver HD audio and video, controlled via IR, RS232 or LAN,
all on a single Cat5e/6/7 cable that removes the need for
additional control and video cables on installations, whether
in a residential or commercial setting.

The MX0606 / 0808-PP Pro Plus HDBaseT Lite Matrix
models allows any of their 6 or 8 HDMI inputs to be
distributed independently and simultaneously over distances
of up to 70m (230ft) to any of the 6 or 8 HD output displays
connected, regardless of HDCP encryption, with discrete IR
control.

FEATURES AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Technical Support: [e-mail] US: [phone] EU: [phone]

• Quick and easy installation – set up in seconds straight out of the box.

• Simplied ports - Input: HDMI – Output: Simultaneous HDMI and

integrated RJ45 connectors for a single Cat5e/6/7 UTP cable to each

display point for ease of installation*

* The inclusion of duplicate HDMI ports essentially doubles the

number of outputs (though slaved to the output channel on

the matrix), or allowing connection to Coax, Fibre or full HDBT

extender sets for increased exibility and length of distribution.

• Conforms to IEEE-568B standards.

• Each HDMI port also supports DVI signals.

• Enables up to 6 (MX0606-PP) and 8 (MX0808-PP) HDMI video/audio

devices to be independently switched through 6

(MX0606-PP) or 8 (MX0808-PP) HDMI displays or projectors for

uncompressed digital distribution.

• Each output able to show any connected source simultaneously

regardless of whether the input carries HDCP encryption.

• HDCP compliant with constant feed to prevent screen dropouts.

• Rened for Custom Install and Home Theatre Installations.

• Reads and copies EDID from connected devices with additional

EDID conguration through customisable DIP switch settings if

necessary.

• The same robust transmission technology as full HDBT that is far more

resistant to electrostatic interference than conventional

non-HDBT distribution.

• HDMI v1.4 with full 3D compatibility with frame packing/sequential

(Blu-Ray) and interlaced stereoscopic (satellite/cable broadcasts).

• Central RS232 control – fully compatible with all market leading control

systems with full integration protocols available for AMX, Control 4,

Crestron, Red Eye, Nevo, RTI, Control FX, Savant, BitWise.

• LAN control – with Control 4 TELNET protocols.

• Wide range, two way discrete IR control between source and display

and vice versa (30 KHz to 56 KHz frequency)

• 2K resolution (compared to 4k resolution with full HDBaseT).

• 36bit Deep Colour (compared to 48bit with Full HDBaseT, and 24bit

PRO).

• 6.75 Gbps bandwidth range/signalling rate (compared to

10.2Gbps with full HDBaseT).

• 70m (230ft) distance range of matrix/extenders – (compared to

100m/328ft HDBaseT or 50m/164ft PRO) can be lengthened by

connecting to multiple 70m extender sets or used with any other

Wyrestorm extenders, such as Coax, full HDBT or Fibre (distances

under perfect transmission conditions*)

• Each Output port can be fed to multiple displays (cascaded).

• Supports all high denition resolution

Connect each HDMI input source (such as: HD-
DVD, PS3/, XBOX360, satellite/cable, Blu-Ray etc.) to the
HDMI inputs of the MATRIX.

Attention Do Not Hotswap plugs! - Please

insert and extract cables carefully with the power
SWITCHED OFF. Connecting and disconnecting
while powered can result in damage to circuitry.

Attach the IR TX emitters directly over the infrared
receiving sensor of each input source using the adhesive
backing. You may need to adjust the position of the
emitter after installation to achieve the best results.
Sometimes moving the sensor to different areas of the
source facia can improve IR performance.

Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR TX emitter into the
corresponding number IR TX port on the rear panel of the
MATRIX.

For two-way IR controlling the display from the
matrix side: Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR RX receiver
into the corresponding IR RX port on the rear panel of the
MATRIX, ensuring the receiver is placed in clear view to

receive an IR signal.

NOTE Make sure the IR jacks are in the same

number ports.

HINT Locate the infrared sensor on devices by

shining a flashlight onto the display panel of
sources and look for a small sensor.

Connect a good quality, well terminated Cat 5e/6/7
cable with an RJ45 connector wired to 568B standard at
both ends from the HDBT Output port of the MATRIX to
the UTP IN of the RX-1UTP-IR-70 DISPLAY RECEIVER
(or, if using another Wyrestorm extender set, connect the
transmitter to the matrix via the HDMI OUT port)

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are pushed securely into
each port and supported by the connector strain relief
clip to prevent them from becoming loose. The quality
of termination for your RJ45 is essential. Poor quality

terminations lead to intermittent performance and longer

install times.

HINT Although all Wyrestorm products are tested

using Cat5e as standard, we suggest using Cat6 as
the preferred cable due to its improved transmission
capabilities.

If using a Duplicate display mirrored to the HDBT Output,
connect the display via the HDMI OUT port.

ATTENTION We strongly recommend using the

supplied mounting brackets to secure the MATRIX
and the accompanying TRANSMITTER & DISPLAY
RECEIVER baluns. Any sudden movement of these
devices could lead to loss of picture and sound if
connections become loose or strained, resulting in
unnecessary service call backs.

Connect the HDMI OUT of the DISPLAY RECEIVER
to the HDMI IN of the display.

Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR RX receiver into the
IR RX port of the display receiver balun. Place the IR RX
receiver sensor discretely on the front of the display with
care taken to achieve a clear line of sight with the remote
control to be used.

For two-way IR controlling the display from the matrix
end: Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR TX emitter into the
corresponding IR TX port on the display receiver, ensuring
the emitter is placed directly over the infra-red receiving
sensor of the display using the adhesive backing.

Again, adjustment of receiver and emitter position may be
needed to achieve the best IR signal distribution.

After ensuring the display receiver
balun is fixed firmly in place behind the
display, insert the 5v mains power adaptor
(included) or connect the USB to 5v
power cable.

Switch on the power to your input sources, displays,
and any display receivers used.

Finally, switch on the matrix at the rear and your
Wyrestorm system should now be fully connected and
ready for use.

ATTENTION Remember, always switch off the matrix

before unplugging any inputs or outputs – follow
last on, first off protocol.

If your IR emitters and receivers are correctly placed you
should now be able control both sources and displays
discretely from either location.

ATTENTION If there is electrical interference or

cable bends/kinks within the set up the IR is one of

the first functions to fail.

If you do not have IR control:

• Check your cables are straight with jacks firmly
connected to ports.

• Check your IR sensors are unobstructed and able to
receive infrared signals.

• Check direct sunlight on the emitters/receivers is not
affecting the infrared signal.

The Wyrestorm MX0606/0808-PP is designed with ease
of set-up and use in mind. Basic switching of source
inputs to output displays can be achieved via the front
panel control of the matrix.

On power up, the front panel will flash as the matrix
initialises. When the display stops flashing, the matrix is
ready to use.

OUTPUT selection INPUT selection Confirm
OUTPUTS/INPUTS

OUTPUTS are selected by pressing the LEFT and
RIGHT arrow buttons to scroll forwards and backwards
numerically through the displays connected to the matrix.
The corresponding OUTPUT channel number will blink on
the display when reached.

Likewise, the UP and DOWN arrow buttons scroll
numerically through any INPUT sources connected to
the system. When the desired OUTPUT and INPUT is
reached, push the ENTER button to confirm the selection.
The display will stop blinking to let you know the matrix
has been set.

Repeated pressing of the select button of a specific
output scrolls numerically through the HDMI input devices
connected to the matrix, with the corresponding LEDs
illustrating when a device has been selected for that
particular output. The chosen input will automatically
store for the output so, even when the matrix is powered
off and on, the last selected input/output combination will
remain.

11. Basic Remote Control

The same basic switching functions can also be accessed

via the remote control.

Operation of the handset is the same regardless of
location – locally (source/IR emitter) or remotely (display/
IR receiver).

Simply toggle through the INPUT sources connected to
the matrix by pressing the left/right arrow buttons in each
numbered OUTPUT section on the handset.

Previous / next buttons

When using the remote control locally, i.e. pointed directly
at the matrix, the previous / next buttons are used to
scroll between the input sources connected to the matrix
for each individual output display. So for example, using
the previous / next buttons for 1 allows you to select the
source to be set to display 1 manually.
See below:

Matrix System Code Switch

The MX0606/0808-PP features an intuitive IR ‘Call Back’
system of control through which the matrix is able to

distinguish where the remote handset is being used to

change INPUTS and OUTPUTS and is able to switch
accordingly depending on the user’s location.

As such, the function of the handset buttons and

operation differs depending on where the handset is being

used.

In the event that two MX0606/0808-PP units are used
within close proximity, the matrix is capable of switching
between two distinct IR System Codes to allow control of
either matrix individually via the same hand-set.

Changing the System Code of the handset to that
assigned to a specific matrix will allow IR commands to
be delivered to only that unit.

The default system setting is 0x00 to control one matrix,
but pressing the SYSTEM CODE button on the handset
THREE TIMES rapidly activates the alternative Matrix
SYSTEM CODE 0x4e, allowing independent control of
a second unit. Pressing the button three times again to
reverts back to default 0x00 setting.

NOTE Changing the System Code is only necessary

if you are using two units within close range of the
IR signal. If using in different parts of the same
room it is likely that you will not need to change the
setting.

HINT If your remote control is not working, before

changing the battery, try changing the System Code
on the handset in case it has accidentally been
switched to an alternative matrix control mode

Remote Control at the Display End (Remote IR)

When controlling the matrix remotely from the display
side, the matrix automatically detects which particular
output location the user is at and only allows the selection
of sources 1-8 for that particular location using the
button - the right hand button will be deactivated.

For example, if you are in the Master Bedroom with
a display connected to output 3 of the matrix, the
output zone is automatically detected so options 1-8
will correspond to sources 1-8 on the matrix. Press
buttons 1-8 to scroll through your options as you would
channels on a regular TV remote.

IR Call-back of Matrix and Source Devices

The Wyrestorm MX0606/0808-PP is not only a switcher
and extender of multiple HDMI signals to multiple HDMI
receivers located remotely, it also passes IR control
signals through the IR call-back system to the matrix

and HDMI sources for full, independent control of all

connected inputs from output locations.

Two-way IR Call-back Between Matrix, Sources and
Displays from Multiple Locations

A key feature on our HDBaseT Lite Matrix range is
discrete IR control of the matrix, sources and displays
from any location – so inputs at the matrix end can be
controlled at a display location and displays can be
controlled at the matrix location.

This is accomplished by placing a series of IR Emitters on
devices to control and Receivers at all locations you wish
to control from to enable the IR signal to travel both ways
via the single Cat5e/6/7 cable.

The sequence of IR TX numbers correspond to the HDMI
INPUTS so when an OUTPUT selects a certain INPUT,
the CALL-BACK IR signal of that RJ45 port selects the
relevant IR TX port to OUTPUT the control signal.

Example: If OUTPUT 1 selects INPUT 3, the CALL-BACK
IR signal of that RJ45 OUTPUT links INPUT 3 with IR TX3

for the signal to be combined and communicated for that

input to be controlled remotely.

At Matrix end: Insert the 3.5mm jacks of the IR TX
Emitters included with the unit into the IR TX Emitter ports
at the rear of the matrix according to input. The IR signal
is added to the HDMI of the input device so, for example,
if the user is watching Blu-ray on input 3, the IR signal
will be directed through the IR TX3 socket to control the
device.
