1. Introduction

CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION

As the agship model of the WyreStorm matrix range,
the MX‐0808‐PP-POH-4K 8x8 matrix oers distribution

and control of both UltraHD 4K content @ 30Hz up to
70m/230ft as well as HDBaseT Class A transmissions of
1080p/48bit @ 60Hz up to 100m/328ft along a single Cat6
cable.

Boasting a full HDBaseT 5Play feature set including video,
multichannel HD audio, discrete internal IR routing with RS232
control and network switching for LAN, Ethernet pass-through
and 100W power to display zones, this latest evolution of the
diverse WyreStorm matrix range makes an already strong feature

set future-proof by oering 4K support at 30Hz with 24bit true
color and chroma sub-sampling rates of 4:2:2 for a superior

color palette in UltraHD.

Featuring a module‐based chassis design consisting of HDMI In,
HDBaseT Out and switched HDMI out, the MX-0808‐PP-POH­4K is capable of feeding up to 16 screens from a single unit in
an 8x8+8 conguration, each including serial control and Power‐
over‐HDBaseT functionality to display zones to power super-slim

PoH display receivers (sold separately) for more convenient
installations behind even the slimmest display wall mounts.

As with other models in the PP-POH range, the MX-0808- PP­POH-4K includes extensive internal EDID management using

pre-set, stored or recalled settings via control software to
negotiate communication between connected source/display
devices with full compatibility with leading third party control
systems including the WyreStorm Enado multi-platform browser­based control interface.

Seeking to avoid compatibility issues encountered by some
manufacturers with certain display devices, the WyreStorm

MX-0808-PP-POH-4K is tested compatible with all currently
available 4K screens, CI and commercial control systems,

graphics cards and consumer devices that may form part of

any present 4K project, while future 4K compatibility is assured
through exible modular transmission capable up being updated
as technical standards such as HDCP 2.2 come into eect or
should client distribution needs change to include 4K at a later

date.

8. Connection & Operation

CONNECTION & OPERATION

The matrix allows any eight input channels (HDMI) to be
routed to any eight output channels (HDBaseT or HDMI),
regardless of source HDCP status, with HDMI OUT (up
to 1080p) a higher output priority over HDBT OUT (up to
4Kx2K) if both are connected.

NOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION:

• Please be mindful of cable type and distance limitations

stated in Specification (Section 5 of this manual) 4K:
70m/230ft 1080p: 100m/328ft

• PoH functionality of the matrix is designed for powering

compatible HDBaseT RX-70-4K receiver units only. Non­PoH receivers will require their own local power supply.

Non-WyreStorm display receivers may not be compatible
with this matrix product

• Use of straight-through Ethernet cables wired to

T568B standards is advised to achieve best results as

recommended by HDBaseT

• Connect/disconnect all cables gently during installation

and ensure power supplies are disconnected from all
devices before installation

• Ensure that any 4K sources and 4K display devices

used are compatible and outputting the correct
resolutions for EDID to be successfully negotiated and
signals received.

NOTE Both 4K and 1080p HD sources and displays

may be contained within the same distribution–
to combine 4K and HD sources and displays a
WyreStorm EXP-SCL-DAC-4K to HD/HD to 4K
scaler must be used between connected HDMI
display device

Visit wyrestorm.com for more information on 4K/HD
scaling and Dolby downmixing.

CONNECTION:

Connect source devices (such as: Blu-ray, computer,

games console, satellite/cable, music streaming device,

CCTV etc.) to the relevant input ports of the matrix output
modules 1-8.

Do Not Hotswap HDMI plugs or HDBaseT

connectors – Insert/extract cables carefully with
devices and mains SWITCHED OFF to avoid power
passed over the cable damaging circuitry.

For IR control of sources from a display zone,
connect an IR transmitter from the matrix to each source,
ensuring the IR emitter is attached directly over the
infrared receiving area of the device, using the adhesive
backing to secure in place.

HINT Locate the infrared sensor on devices by shining a

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

CONNECTION & OPERATION

Adjustment of the IR emitter position after installation
may be required to achieve the best results as moving

to different areas of the source fascia can improve IR
performance.

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

NOTE HDMI output supports up to 1080p only. 4K

source cannot be duplicated. EXP-SCL-DAC-4K
scaler is required to scale up the 1080p signal for
connection to a local 4K screen

For two-way IR control of display from source

location:
i. Connect a WyreStorm IR link cable (CAB-IR-LINK)
between the IR RX port on the matrix output modules to a

control system.
or

ii. Connect 3.5mm jack of the IR receiver into the
corresponding IR RX port on matrix output cards,

ensuring the IR receiver eye is placed in clear view to
receive an IR signal from the handset to be used to
control.

Connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat 5e/6/7
cable with an RJ45 connector wired to 568B standard

at both ends from the HDBaseT Output port of matrix

transmission cards the UTP IN of the RX-70-4K display
receiver. *

* Please be mindful of cable type, transmission
range and 4K or HD support as stated in
Specification (Section 5 of this manual)

NOTE Although all WyreStorm products are tested

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

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are pushed securely

into each port and supported by the connector strain relief
clip to prevent loosening.
If using a WyreStorm extender set, connect the

transmitter device to the matrix via the HDMI port and
connect to the RX-70-4K receiver via Cat5e/6/7.

NOTE No power supply is required to the RX-70-4K

if connected from the MX-0808-PP-POH-4K matrix
or other PoH-enabled transmission device.

The 12v power input on the display receiver is
optional, and should be used only if there is
insufficient power from the transmission device.

Power is passed along the Cat5e/6/7 cable so

the quality of termination, cable and condition are
essential for successful delivery of video, audio,
control and power to receivers.
Poor quality terminations lead to intermittent
performance and longer install times.

PoH functionality will not be possible if using a non­PoH enabled Receiver.

Sudden movement of the matrix and receivers could
lead to loss of picture and sound if connections
become loose or strained, resulting in unnecessary
service call-backs. We strongly recommend using
the mounting brackets supplied to secure devices.

Connect HDMI OUT of the RX-70-4K to the HDMI IN

of the display device.

Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR receiver into the IR RX

port of the display receiver.

Place the IR receiver 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 emitter into the IR TX

port on the display receiver, ensuring the emitter is placed
directly over the infrared 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.

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

All receivers must be connected to the matrix
via UTP cable before matrix is powered on.

As power forms part of the HDBaseT carrier
signal, if a transmission link can not be established
between matrix and display receiver, it is unlikely
the receiver will be able to draw power.

Should such problems be experienced between
transmission and receiving device, investigate the
root cause of the issue by following the checklist in
the Troubleshooting section of this guide.

Finally, switch on the matrix at the rear and your
WyreStorm system should now be fully connected and
ready for use.
If IR transmitters and receivers are correctly placed
discrete control of both sources and displays will be
possible from either location.

Remember, always switch off the matrix before
unplugging any inputs or outputs – follow last on,
first off protocol.

OPTIONAL CONNECTION:

If using a duplicate display or AVR mirrored to the

HDBaseT Output, connect the display via the HDMI OUT

port of the transmission card

NOTE HDMI output supports up to 1080p only. 4K

source cannot be duplicated.

For control system integration, connect additional

RJ45 terminated category cable or RS232 serial cable.
See section 11 - RS232 Control for more details

Combined 4K and HD Distribution

If your distribution contains both 4K and 1080p sources

and displays, the matrix will search for the most
compatible EDID screen resolution between all connected
devices, (typically the highest resolution ALL displays
can support), which will in most cases result in resolution

disparity and automatic downscaling 4K content to 1080p

across all screens.

To maintain 4K resolutions to 4K screens in distributions

containing lower resolution legacy displays, a WyreStorm

EXP-SCL-DAC-4K scaler and Dolby downmixer should
be used inline between HDMI devices to scale down 4K
transmissions to 1080p HD 24fps, upscale 1080p HD to
4K at 30Hz or allow signal pass-through.

Furthermore, Dolby downmixing to stereo PCM enables

multichannel audio up to 5.1 to be distributed to zones
that can support it and automatically scaled down to

compatible stereo PCM for those that cannot without

sacrificing the integrity of the distribution.

Visit wyrestorm.com for more information on 4K/HD
scaling and Dolby downmixing.

The matrix is designed with ease of connection and
control in mind with basic switching of source inputs to
output displays achieved via the front panel control of the
matrix and the front LED screen displaying the current
input and output status 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.

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.

Press the LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW key to
select an output. After the selection is complete, the
corresponding LED indicator blinks.

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 confirm the matrix has
been set.

Press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key to
select an input.

Press the ENTER key to confirm the selection. After
the selection takes effect, the LED stops blinking.

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

5-8 need to be set to input 2, the following sequence of

button presses need to be performed.

To switch output/input selection:

Set the output 1 to the input 1.
i. Press left/right selection button to highlight the Output

1. LED blinks slowly to indicate the output has been
chosen.
ii. Press up/down selection button to switch that Output
to Input 1.
iii. Press Enter button for the selection take effect. LED
stops blinking to indicate the operation is successful and
the Output has been set to the chosen input.

Repeat steps above to perform the other output/
input selections. The final configuration is as follows.

The same basic switching functions can also be accessed
via the remote control.
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.

Operation of the handset is the same regardless of

location – locally (source/matrix location - IR TX) or
Remotely (display location - IR RX).

Note:

• Ensure IR receivers and IR emitters are fully
connected to correct matrix ports and placed in clear

view to receive IR signals from the remote (IR RX) and
transmit signals to the matrix (IR TX)

• The remote handset must be pointed directly at the

IR receiver window on the matrix fascia or the IR RX

Extension receiver eye for signals to be received by
the matrix.

i) Matrix Control at Matrix Location (Local)

Local control of the matrix from the matrix location is
achieved by sending IR command signals to the IR

receiver window on the matrix or IR RX Extension receiver

connected to the IR Ext. port at the rear of the matrix.

When using the matrix remote locally, point the handset

directly at the matrix or IR RX extension receiver and

press are used to scroll between the connected
input sources for each individual output display. For
example, to select output display 1 to be set to input
source 2, find row 1 on the matrix control handset and
scroll to input source 2.

NOTE Ensure IR emitters are securely placed

over source IR sensor windows. You can locate
IR sensors on devices by shining a flashlight onto
the fascia – the sensor should be visible as a small
round diode behind the device panel.

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 identical 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.

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.
