The MX-0816-HDBT is a 8x16 matrix switcher that allows
any of its 8 HDMI inputs to be routed over distance to
any combination of the 16 display outputs via UTP cable,
regardless of HDCP source encryption.

The use of HDBaseT ‘one cable’ technology enables the
MX-0816 to deliver HD audio and video, multiple control options

and high speed internet access through a single Cat 5e/6/7

cable, with a transmission distance of up to 100m (328ft) for
1080p.

The system has versatile control, with users able to choose from

several methods of controlling the matrix – Infrared (IR) emitters

and receivers, RS232, RS485, LAN, touch screen, panel button, or
by using the remote control included in the package.

The MX-0816-HDBT offers incredible flexibility and reliability
of signal distribution combined with innovative features and an
ease of use that provides solutions where HD transmission over

distance to multiple displays is required, whilst also eliminating

the need for additional control and video cables on installation,
whether in a residential or commercial setting.

8. Typical Application

9. Connection

01 Connect your HDMI input sources (such as: HD-DVD,

PS3/, XBOX360, satellite/cable, Blu-Ray etc.) to HDMI
inputs 1 – 8 of the MX-0816-HDBT 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.

02 Attach the IR TX emitter sensor directly over the infrared

receiving 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.

03 Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR TX emitter into your chosen

number IR RX port on the rear panel of the MATRIX.

ATTENTION

Locate the infrared sensor on devices by
shining a flashlight onto the display panel of sources and
look for a small sensor.

04 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 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 TRANSMIT TER & DISPLAY RECEIVER
baluns. Any sudden movement of these devices could lead
to loss of picture and sound if connections become loose

10. Basic Operation

Main Menu

All basic set up functions can be controlled from the touch panel
main menu or the function buttons and numeric keypad to the

right of the screen.

Switch Mode

Providing all your HDMI sources, UTP outs,
display receiver, and IR inputs and outputs

have been correctly connected, setting your
sources to the desired displays is very simple.

Just follow the tips on the right hand side of the

touch screen.

or strained, resulting in unnecessary service call backs.

05 Connect the HDMI OUT of the DI SPLAY RECEIVER to the

HDMI IN of the display.

06 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.

07 Connect the display receiver balun to the 5v power adaptor

(included with the receiver)

08 Switch on the power to your input sources, displays,

and any display receiver baluns used. Finally, power up
the MATRIX. Your MX-0816-HDBT 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

09 If your IR emitters and receivers are correctly placed you

should now be able control your sources from each individual
display location.

ATTENTION

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 rmly

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.

switch

1. Press the Switch option to select your choice of source
and display. Follow the Tips on the right hand side of the
screen and first press your OUTPUT/DIS PLAY number - for
example, display number 1 – and press OK.

If you have multiple displays but only one source, you can

save time by pressing the “A” (All displays) button to
automatically select all display outputs connected to the
matrix.

Attention – if you make a mistake, press “C” (Clear) to
clear the previous number and go back a step.

Alternatively, you can always return to the Main Menu by

pressing the “home” button.

2. Again, follow the prompts from the Tips box – choose
your source number – for example, your Blu-ray might be
connected to HDMI input number 3 – select and press OK.
Your selected source will now be shown on your chosen
display.

Attention – if you have previously saved a source and

display combination on either of three memory settings, you
can bypass stages 1 and 2 by pressing your saved memory
setting number. See Save Mode for details on setting.

Preview and Observe Modes:

As the touch panel is also an LCD display, the Preview and
Observe modes allow the user to check what source is on a

particular output display within the matrix. Both modes follow the
same method of source and display selection as Switch mode.
Follow the tips on the right side of the screen.
