CONTENTS, INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES

The WyreStorm Pro-Plus range builds upon the popularity
of our Pro range of dual Cat5e HD Matrix Products and

our full HDBaseT™ matrix range to oer the very best in
aordable single cable AV distribution and control.

Using the latest Class B HDBaseT platform for signal stability and
resistance to interference, products in the Pro Plus range provide
single cable transmission of full 1080p HD Video, HD Audio and
bidirectional control via discrete IR from a centralised AV location
to displays located up to 70m/230ft away using unshielded or
shielded Cat5e/6 cable*

This MX-0404-PP-KIT HDBaseT Matrix and display receiver
kit allows any connected HDMI inputs to be distributed
independently and simultaneously over distance to any of the 4
HD output display receivers connected to the matrix, regardless
of HDCP encryption.

Further matrix control is achievable via RS232 including full
compatibility and integration with leading control systems.

Matrix outputs can also be cascaded up to 7 times by
connecting HDBaseT outputs to a compatible WyreStorm
extender set to further lengthen or extend transmission

if required. This also enables the use of dierent cabling

alternatives such as Fibre, Coax or Class A HDBaseT and

dierent distribution distances by using various WyreStorm

extender products.

NOTE HDBaseT functionality will not be maintained if using a

dierent cable type/technology.

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, controlled via IR, RS232 or LAN, all on a
single Cat5e/6 cable that removes the need for additional control
and video cables on installations, whether in a residential or
commercial setting.

*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.

ranges, visit our website or download our latest product guide.

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.

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.

Attention We strongly recommend using the

supplied mounting brackets to secure the MATRIX

and the accompanying DISPLAY RECEIVER. 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.

Connect an IR RX cable to IR RX port of the display
receiver. Place the IR RX receiver discretely on the front or
near of the display with care taken to achieve a clear line
of sight with the remote control to be used.

For two-way IR control of the display from the matrix end,
connect an IR TX emitter from corresponding IR TX port
on the display receiver directly onto the display, ensuring
the emitter is placed directly over the infrared receiving
sensor of the display using the adhesive backing.

Again, you may need to adjust the position of both
receiver and emitter to achieve the best IR signal
distribution.

After ensuring the display receiver balun is fixed
firmly in place behind the display, insert the 12v mains
power adaptor (included).

Switch on the power to your input sources, displays,
and any display receivers connected. Finally, power up
the MATRIX. Your MX-0404-PP-KIT 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.

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.
