Contents 1. Introduction

CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION

The WyreStorm 4x4 Quick-Install pack (version 2) is a
system of HD switching and extension that comprises
of a 4 Input/4 Output HD Matrix together with 4 display
receivers that together provide a total solution for single­cable HD Distribution and Control over distances of up to
40m (131ft) in residential or commercial settings.

Time is money.

We all know it. Especially when it comes to HD installation.
Time saved in choosing the right combination of HD equipment
you know will work is just as important as getting it all up and

running as quickly and efciently as possible so you can leave a
satised customer and move onto the next job.

We call this system ‘Quick Install’ because that is exactly what
you should expect; with great emphasis placed on reduced

installation time and an ease of connection that will enable the

installer to maximise their productivity on site, avoiding time­consuming compatibility and conguration issues that can

unnecessarily prolong a project or in terms of installation time or
call-backs.

Specically developed and manufactured to meet the needs
of the installer, the MX0404-QI is a dedicated system of HD
distribution and control, combining a 4x4 Matrix and four

single cable receivers – all of which of which are designed
work seamlessly together for complete compatibility and full

management of handshakes, screen resolutions and HD signal
distribution to each display point, whether in a residential or

commercial environment.

The MX0404-QI pack enables ANY four HD devices to be

viewed independently and simultaneously on ANY four displays,
with full 3D support over distances of up to 40m, with full control
of the connected sources as well as output from the matrix from

display locations via IR or RS232.

The system itself is entirely cabled on single Cat5e/6/7 UTP runs

to each display point throughout the location for the quickest,

most convenient and cost effective means of transmitting and

controlling full, uncompressed 1080p HD video and audio we

could think of to make sure your time on-site is as productive
(and brief) as possible.

Time is money. With the WyreStorm Quick Install pack in your

set up, you’ll have a little more of both.

NOTE For longer transmission distances, LAN control and
Ethernet pass-through, please see our full HDBaseT or
HDBaseT Class B range of matrices, transmitters, receivers and
extender sets.

Connect your HDMI input sources (such as: HD-

DVD,PS3/, XBOX360, satelClass B/cable, Blu-Ray etc.) to

HDMI inputs 1 – 4 of the MX0404-QI 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 TX emitter sensor directly over the
infraredreceiving area 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 facia can improve IR performance.

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

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 UTP Out port of the MATRIX to
the UTP IN of the RX-1UTP-IR-40 DISPLAY RECEIVER.

Ensure both 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.

Attention We strongly recommend using the

supplied mounting brackets to secure the MATRIX
and the accompanying 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. Again, you may need to adjust

the position of the receiver to achieve the best signal
reception.

Connect the DISPLAY RECEIVER balun to the 5v

power adaptor (included with the receiver)

Front Panel Control

Basic switching of various source inputs to output

displays can be achieved via the front panel control of the
MX0404-QI.

Outputs are numbered 1 – 4 with an input select button

to the left. Repeated pressing of the select button of a
specific output scrolls 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, on resumption the last selected input/output

combination will remain.

Attention Users will notice a brief flicker on

screen when switching between inputs/outputs
– this is normal for this model and represents the
matrix resetting device HDCP settings to allow
communication from a different device. For constant
HDCP when switching with no noticeable screen
resets, see WyreStorm PRO, Pro Plus and HDBaseT
matrix ranges. See www.wyrestorm.com for more
information

The same basic 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 either pressing the left/right arrow buttons or

buttons numbered 1 – 4 for each output.

Pinch here and pull out

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

MATRIX. Your MX0404-QI should now be fully connected
and ready for use.

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 your sources from each
individual display location.

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.
