CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction

The WyreStorm MX-PP-POH matrix range oers the
ultimate in exible and aordable Class B HDBaseT™
integration; for projects that demand the benets

of HDBaseT transmission, such as signal stability,
distribution of full 1080p HD video, HD audio, Power-over­HDBaseT (PoH) and control via IR and routable serial
control over a single Cat5e/6 cable up to 70m/230ft, yet
may not require the transmission distance or feature set
of full Class A HDBaseT.

Models in the MX-PP-POH range oer an HDBaseT Pro Plus
matrix solution with PoH support for power passed along a
single Cat5e/6/7 cable along with transmissions and control
commands to enable receivers to operate without the need for
local mains power at display zones.

This not only oers more exibility and convenience during
installation but also greater energy eciency and an easier
installation than a permanent mains connection as less power
supplies are required for devices.

MX-PP-POH matrices also feature routable serial commands via
RS232 for individual control of sources from display zones using
a WyreStorm Enado or third party control system – all of which
adds up to a powerful package for applications of any size or
budget.

MX-PP-POH matrices are available either in factory standard
conguration, featuring HDMI input to HDBaseT and mirrored
HDMI Output, or a modular customisable conguration featuring
a matrix chassis and selection from a range of multi-format
digital and analogue transmission cards that enable distribution
and control to be tailored to the specics of the project like
never before.

Using our Virtual Rack system-planner available at
www.wyrestom.com, combinations of matrices and
transmission cards can be selected and customised to personal
specication, with orders submitted online, custom-built and
shipped directly within 10 days from initial spec to nal delivery.*

MX-PP-POH matrix solutions from WyreStorm oer incredible
exibility and versatility of custom transmission selection
combined with the power and features of HDBaseT for solutions
where stable HD transmission and control over distance is
required, whether in a residential or commercial setting.

CONNECTION

7

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 cards 1-16.

Attention Do Not Hotswap HDMI plugs or

HDBaseT connectors - Please insert and extract
cables carefully with the power SWITCHED OFF.

Power is passed along transmissions so connecting
and disconnecting cables while powered can result
in damage to circuitry or possible injury.

For IR control of sources from a display zone,
connect an IR transmitter from the matrix to each source,
ensuring the IR TX 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.

Adjustment of the IR TX position after installation may be
required to achieve the best results as moving the sensor
to different areas of the source facia can improve IR
performance.

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

NOTE Make sure the IR jacks and ports match up.

For two-way IR control of display from source

location:

i. Connect an WyreStorm IR link cable between the IR RX
port on the matrix output cards to a control system.

or

ii. Connect 3.5mm jack of the IR receiver into the
corresponding IR RX port on relevant 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
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-IR-POH
display receiver.

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-IR-POH receiver via Cat5e/6/7.

NOTE No power supply is required to the RX-70-IR-

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

The 5v power input on the display receiver is
optional, and should be used only if there is
insufficient power from the transmission device.

Attention Power is passed along the Cat5e/6

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.

Attention PoH functionality will not be possible if

using a non-PoH enabled Receiver.

Attention Sudden movement of the matrix and

receivers/transmitters 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-IR-POH 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 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.

For two-way IR controlling the display from the matrix
end: Plug the 3.5mm jack of the IR transmitter into the IR
TX port on the display receiver, ensuring the transmitter
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.

Attention 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.

Attention 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 a compatible HDMI Output transmission card.

For connection of RS232

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 IR TX or RX eyes is not
affecting the infrared signal.

The WyreStorm MX-PP-POH is designed with ease of
set-up and use in mind. Basic switching of source inputs
to output displays can be achieved via the front panel
control 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 input devices
connected to the matrix, with the corresponding LEDs
illustrating when a device has been selected for that
