4x2 HDBaseT Hybrid Matrix

Hybrid is the combination of a standard HDMI Matrix Switcher with a Multiroom+PoE module in a small form

factor package - creating a SMART HDTV signal distribution system that gives users the ability maximize all

their home entertainment technology such as subscription TV and Blu-Ray™ to its fullest potential. Users can

watch, control and enjoy all their devices in stunning HD video and audio, plus a fast Internet connection at two

TV locations instead of one.

The system comprises of a central hub and a TV-mountable PoE receiver module - meaning that a separate

power supply is not required. The receiver module simply connects back to the hub via single network cable

(Cat5e/6) up to 100m long.

Users have the ability to select and control source functions such as pause, play and rewind, thanks to IR

(infrared) remote control pass back to the hub. You can pause in one room and resume in another,

When a broadband router is connected to the Multiroom+PoE Hybrid central hub, fast Internet is also piped to

each TV location. This means that users can maximise the full feature-set of the latest SMART TVs as a robust

Internet connection is essential for buffer-free viewing of on-line streaming services such as Netflix, Love Film

and BBC iPlayer.

HDBaseT technology allows uncompressed HDMI, Fast Ethernet, PoE signals to be transmitted up to 100m

over a single Cat5e/6 cable to the TV locations.

All IR cabling. system remote and 3rd party home automation drivers are bundled free for all major control

systems, including Control4, AMX, RTI, URC.

HDBaseT Wiring Guidance

HDanywhere Multiroom+ PoE SingleWire systems require a single network cable to be run from each HDTV

location, back to a central location. ‘SingleWire‘ systems use HDBaseT technology to transmit over 1 x

Cat5e/6/7 cable up to a 100 metre distance.

What is the best type of cable to use?

Currently you can use Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6e, Cat6a, Cat7 or Cat7a with HDanywhere products.

The baseline cable standard for HDanywhere systems is Cat5e. Slightly greater distances can be achieved by

using Cat6, or slightly better still with the Cat7, which have thicker copper cores for easier signal transfer.

Whichever network cable type you choose, ensure that the main wiring architecture is 'solid core', not stranded

‘patch’ cabling. Patch cabling can be used for the last few metres of a run (say from a wallplate) but should be

avoided over the longer runs as signal transfer over stranded cores is heavily reduced.

The use of pre-made leads is not recommended unless you can be absolutely sure of their construction

credentials (i.e. solid core 568B)

Shielded cables

Unlike other systems, shielded FTP cable is not a stipulation. If however you preferred this type of cable please

ensure compatible shielded accessories are used. Failure to terminate cable screen at all points can induce

interference rather than eliminating it.

Best Practice

Best practice advice is to always use a straight piece of cable terminated directly at the matrix and the TV

receiver ends.

HDBaseT with patch panels & wall plates

If the patch panels are terminated correctly and well, there is minimal loss of distance with HDBaseT.

The use of wallplates and patch panels always has the potential to cause increased resistance on the cable,

introducing 'pinch points' for signal transmission and could reduce advertised transmission lengths.

TIP - instead of using RJ45 wallplates, use brush plates instead to maintain the neat finish. A search for “brush

plates” will yield many results.

Connection termination

Terminate the cabling using RJ45 connectors to the 568B wiring standard (shown below).

IMPORTANT: Local building regulations may apply to the installation of cabling in properties. Please ensure

that these are checked and followed in accordance with the laws of your territory.

Disable “CEC”

Ensure that any manufacturer HDMI link or CEC protocols such as Samsung Anynet Link, Sony Bravia Link,

Panasonic Viera Link etc are switched to “off” on both the source devices and HDTVs that are to be connected

to the Matrix.

Power Down

Switch off all intended HDMI source devices and HDTVs and unplug them from the mains.

Central Hub

The central hub is the heart of the HDanywhere system.

First time setup

Your HDanywhere™ system is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away.

Please note that the HDanywhere™ product warranty does not cover damage due to electrical disturbances. If

possible safeguard your equipment by connecting all provided power supplies to an electrical surge suppressor

/ line conditioner.

Before you connect up your system, please ensure that you complete the following:

●Ensure that any manufacturer HDMI link, HDMI control or CEC protocol settings such as Samsung

Anynet Link, Sony Bravia Link, Panasonic Viera Link etc are switched to “off” on both the source

devices and HDTVs that are to be connected to system. This setting is likely to be found in the HDMI

menu settings of the devices you are using.

●After you have changed the CEC setting, switch off all your HDMI source devices and HDTVs and

unplug them from the mains.

●Please ensure that you only connect and disconnect HDMI cables while the central hub and TV

receivers are powered off.

Initial Connections

●With all your products powered off, connect your HDMI source devices to the desired HDMI input ports

on the central hub; 1, 2, 3 or 4.

●For Blu-ray 3D, ‘High Speed’ HDMI cables must be used (usually under 8m in length). Passive (not

Active) HDMI cables over 15m in length are not recommended under any circumstances.

●Connect your most commonly watched source device to HDMI input 1. It is recommended that if a

Satellite HD Receiver is being used that this is connected to HDMI input 1.

●Connect the HDMI output ports to the primary HDTV with a HDMI cable

●Connect the Multiroom+PoE Display Receiver module to the 2nd TV with a HDMI cable.

●Connect any network or LAN connections between the TV receiver and the chosen network devices.

i.e. your TVs Ethernet port for smart TV capability

●Connect the Multiroom+PoE Display Receiver module to the central hub with a Cat5e/6/7 network cable

Notes:

When placing the TV Receivers at your TV locations, please take care not to block the vents on the TV receiver

casing.

Before switching your unit on, if you wish to at this stage, please refer to page 14 of this manual.

Please see page 13 for instructions on how to connect your matrix to your home network to pass through an

internet connection to your TV receiver.
