CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION

Flexible, powerful, convenient and aordable; the
Wyrestorm mx-0404-poh-kit oers the integrator the best

of all worlds with a combined HDBaseT™ matrix switching

and display receiver solution oering remote powering of

display zones for plug-and-play simplicity for small-to­medium sized distribution and control integrations.

The MX-0404-POH-KIT features high quality, low latency
Hdbaset Class B technology for 4x4 distribution and matrix
switching over a single Cat5e/6 cable with four matching slim-line
Poh display receivers of just 15mm height for the lowest form
factor available on the market, more than capable of installation
behind even the slimmest display wall plates.

Allowing connected HDMI inputs to be distributed independently
and simultaneously over distances of up to 70m/230ft to any
display receivers connected to the matrix, regardless of HDCP

encryption, the MX-0404-POH-KIT oers HDBaseT signal

stability for the transmission of lossless 1080p HD Video up to
60Hz / 36bit, HD multichannel audio, bidirectional control via IR
from a centralised AV location to displays using unshielded or
shielded Cat5e/6 cable*, with further control via RS232 including
full compatibility with leading control systems.

PoH (Power-over-HDBaseT) enables power to be passed along
the cable along with transmissions from the matrix to power
receivers at display zones without the need for local mains

power for greater exibility and convenience during installation
as well as improved energy eciency compared to a permanent

mains connection.

The system oers exibility and reliability of signal distribution,

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

All of which guarantees a quick, hassle-free installation, whatever

the application, for the very best in reliable and aordable single

cable AV distribution and control.

*When using shielded cable, please ensure you use
shielded RJ45 connectors and terminate the grounding
wire at both ends of the cable. This is standard practice
when using FTP shielded cable.

Display Receivers - quick and easy installation straight
out of the box

• Input: 4x HDMI Output: 4x HDBaseT with integrated
RJ45 connectors for a single Cat5e/6 UTP cable to each
display point for ease of installation*

• Enables up to 4 HDMI video/audio devices to be
independently switched through up to 4 HDMI displays or
projectors for uncompressed digital distribution

• Class B HDBaseT - same robust HDBaseT
transmission technology far more resistant to electrostatic
interference than conventional UTP distribution

• Power-over-HDBaseT (PoH) - low-voltage power
passed directly along Cat5e/6 up to 70m/230ft from
matrix to all connected PoH-enabled receivers so no
additional power supply is required at display locations

*While our equipment is tested and graded to

Cat5e cable standard; tests have shown that even

better results are achieved using Cat6 cable,
with the lower gauge and thicker copper cores
of Cat6 ensuring a better signal transfer. Newly
installed cabling should always conform to Part P
Regulation and BS 7671 (17th Edition), and should
be terminated to 568B standard.

**Recommended transmission conditions denote

cable run is within specied distance range of

product, no electrical interference, the use of
straight cable runs with no bends or kinks and
no patch panels or wall outlets used. Please be
advised that the presence of any of these factors in
your installation may compromise bandwidth and
signal strength. For longer transmission distances,
LAN control and Ethernet pass-through, see
other models in the WyreStorm HDBaseT range of
matrices, transmitters, receivers and extender sets.

WyreStorm reserves the right to change hardware,
software, packaging and any accompanying

Connect HDMI sources (such as HD-DVD, Blu-ray,
games console, AppleTV, satellite/cable etc.) to HDMI
inputs 1 – 4 of the MATRIX.

Attention Do Not Hotplug! - Please insert and

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

Attach the IR emitter directly over the infrared
receiving sensor of the 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 can improve IR performance.

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

For two-way IR control of the display from the matrix or
connection to a control system, connect an IR Link cable
to the control system or plug an IR RX receiver cable 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 Cat5e/6
cable with an RJ45 connector wired to 568B standard
at both ends from the UTP Output port of the MATRIX to
the UTP In of the display receiver. If cascading an output,
connect the UTP to the UTP IN of the transmission
device.

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 distribution
capabilities.
