for ARC functions of outputs 5-6 (6x6) and 6-8 (8x8) is required.

• RX-70-4K HDBaseT Receiver – Use this receiver for outputs 1-4 (6x6)
and 1-5 (8x8) or when ARC is not required.

• CAB-IR-LINK – Use this cable when using an IR control system for
matrix control of HDBaseT pass-through.

Additional Information

This Quickstart Guide provides the basic steps for the common uses of
this product. Refer to the Installation Guide and other documentation on
the product page for additional information.

Before Beginning

• WyreStorm recommends visiting the product page before installing
this product for updates to this Quickstart Guide as well as other
information about the product.

• Verify that all items are included in the packaging per the In the Box
list.

Pre Wire

1. Run a Cat5e/6/6a cable from the transmitter location to the receiver

location. See Supported Video Resolutions for resolution distance
restrictions. Terminate the cable per the HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring
section.

2. (Optional) If using IR emitters or connecting blocks, run the wire and

terminate per the IR TX (Emitter) Wiring section.

3. (Optional) If using IR receivers, run the wire and terminate per the IR

RX/Ext (Receiver) Wiring section.

4. (Optional) If using RS-232 pass-through, run the wire and terminate

per the RS-232 Wiring section.

Installation

1. Connect the output of an HDMI source to an HDMI In on the

matrix using a cable from a high quality brand such as WyreStorm

Express. Repeat for additional sources.

2. Using the cable created in Pre Wire step 1, connect the 8-pin

RJ-45 female plug to the HDBT Out jack on the matrix. Repeat for
additional HDBaseT receivers.

3. (Optional) Using the included IR emitter or the cable created in

Pre Wire step 2, place an IR emitter onto a source device near the
device’s IR sensor. Connect the 3.5mm (1/8in) Mono Plug to an IR
TX port. Repeat for additional sources.

4. (Optional) Using the included IR receiver, connect the 3.5mm (1/8in)

Stereo Plug to an IR RX (IR to Zone) port. If using a control system,
use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK or the cable created in Pre Wire
step 3. Repeat for additional zones.

5. (Optional) Using an included IR receiver, connect the 3.5mm (1/8in)

Stereo Plug to an IR Ext port. If using a control system, use the

WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK or the cable created in Pre Wire step 3.

6. (Optional) Using the cable created in Pre Wire step 4, connect the

9-pin DB9 male jack to the RS-232 port on the matrix and the
opposite end to an RS-232 control system.

7. (Optional) Connect the ARC Out of cards 5-6 (6x6) or 6-8 (8x8) to

a digital audio input of a device such as an AV Receiver. Repeat for
additional ARC Out connections.

8. Install HDBaseT receivers (RX-70-4K-ARC recommended) following

the instructions provided with the model being installed.
