Before Installation
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.
We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets to
secure the matrix and the accompanying display receivers. Any
sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of picture
and sound if connections become loose or strained, resulting in
unnecessary service call backs
Remember, always switch off the matrix before unplugging any
inputs or outputs – follow last on, first off protocol.
Basic Connection and Operation
Attention: Due to the customizable nature of this product, we
strongly suggest consulting the full instruction manual before
installation.
Based on your individual module configuration, connect multi-
format sources to Inputs 1-8 of the matrix using quality cables - we
recommend the use of WyreStorm Express HDMI cables.
To cascade HDMI transmission to another matrix an HDMI Pass-
through module is required.
For HDBaseT Outputs, connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat6
cable of no more than 70m/230ft from matrix HDBT OUT ports 1-8
to HDBT ports of connected display receivers.
If connecting a remote source via an HDBaseT Input module, ensure
Cat6 cable of no more than 70m/230ft is used between the HDBT
transmission device and HDBT IN of the matrix module. The matrix
uses PoH to remotely power PoH-enabled transmission devices so
no additional mains power is required at remote source locations
NOTE: Although WyreStorm products are tested with Cat5e,
we recommend Cat6 as standard due to increased bandwidth
and improved capacity for handling large transmissions along
a single cable.
At display locations, connect HDMI display devices to the HDMI OUT
ports of receivers.
NOTE: AMP-001-010 HDBaseT digital audio amplifier
receivers can be used for enhanced audio connectivity.
Connect the matrix to a mains power supply using the power cable
included and switch on the Power at the rear of the unit.
Check the front panel LED display is lit to indicate the matrix is ready
for use.
The matrix uses PoH to remotely power PoH-enabled receivers so
no mains power is required at display locations.
In instances where cable quality, length or placement impacts on
successful PoH delivery, or if using a non-POH enabled receiver,
units can be powered locally via threaded or phoenix 12v DC power
connectivity.
Check POWER, STATUS & LINK lights are illuminated on the receiver
to indicate successful connection, with a lit HDCP illustrating the
presence of encryption within the signal
NOTE: STATUS and HDCP LEDs should blink, POWER and
LINK are static LEDs.
Basic I/O switching is achieved via the matrix front panel. 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.
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 matrix I/O has been set.
Basic Signal IR/RS232 Control
Connect IR emitters from the matrix IR TX ports to the IR receiving
areas of sources, firmly attaching emitter eyes onto sources.
For use with a control system, IR Link cables (sold separately) should
be connected from the matrix IR RX ports to the controller used. For
an RS232-based control system, RS232 cables should be used from
matrix to control system and between receivers and display device.
At display locations, connect IR emitters from the display receiver
IR TX ports to the IR receiving areas of the display device and IR
receivers from IR RX ports on/near the device with clear line of sight
to the handset used to control.
NOTE: Emitter eye position on device IR receiving areas may
need to be adjusted later to achieve best IR performance.
See full instruction manual for detailed instructions on connection,
operation and control.
Wiring and Connections
HDBaseT Wiring
Wiring for HDBaseT follows the EIA T568B standard.
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables,
and electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse effect
on HDBaseT transmission limiting performance. Steps should be taken
to minimize these factors (or remove completely) during installation for
best results.

Troubleshooting
Regardless of manufacturer or product, the majority of installation
diculties can typically be attributed to communication problems between
devices or when high bandwidth transmissions are attempted with
insucient cable/connections.
We recommend referring to the full instruction manual for this product, but
the following checklist oers general issues and causes that should help
you shoot your way out of trouble without seeking further assistance.
No or poor quality picture?
Device Connection - Are you connected and powered? Double check
all HDMI, UTP and power connections are rmly inserted into correct
ports and that all devices are powered.
NOTE: If receiver PoH powering issues are experienced, use a 12v
local power supply at display zones.
Cable length – is your signal struggling to transmit signals or power
the distance of your cable? You may be experiencing interference that
exceeds the maximum capacity of your transmission cable distance.
Make sure you are within specied cable distances for this product and
check cable and connection condition and installation environment for
issues.
Try a shorter cable run, an extender with a longer range or EDID
management of the matrix - see full manual for EDID DIP switch
settings
Signal strength – please note the use of cable joins, stranded patch
panels, wall outlets and stranded patch leads as interconnects between
them, can signicantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core, straight
through connections wherever possible.
Resolution - If you reduce the resolution of the source, do you get a
picture? If so, this suggests a conicting resolution between source and
display or a bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs
and outputs share the same resolution and make sure the signal is being
successfully transmitted the full length of your cable run.
Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ – signies a failure to fully establish a signal
and can often be caused by poorly terminated HDMI connectors or
excessive cable lengths. If using an extender set with this product, ensure
your cable is correctly wired to 568B standards. Try swapping in a display
and receiver from a fully functioning location – if the problem continues
on the same output, turn o all equipment and swap your signal carrying
cables at both ends.
Cable quality and condition – HDMI cable/connectors can be easily
damaged and the quality of material can vary, especially in lower price
brackets. Successful transmission of video, audio and control, can all be
aected by cable and termination quality. Always use good quality leads
and cables. Should transmission problems be experienced, try swapping
cables/leads for those already working to see if this improves your image
to identify cable issue as source of problem.
Blu-Ray, 3D - Make sure all your equipment has been congured
and enabled to transmit and accept the signal, or is capable of passing
a signal. Are resolutions between source and display compatible and
cable adequate for the large bandwidth required by Blu-ray and 3D
transmissions?
4K - Are you trying to pass a 4K signal or are you combining 4K and
HD sources and displays? This product does not support 4K. For full list
of our 4K product range, please visit out website at wyrestorm.com
See full manual or product web page at wyrestorm.com for full
specication.
IR Control
Check the IR receiving window of the matrix or the IR EXT receiver is
unobstructed and able to receive IR signals from the remote handset used
to control the matrix.
Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible
to the naked eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing
the remote handset sensor through a digital camera/camera phone – the
emitter on the handset should ash when a button on the handset is held
down.
IR signal dropout can be experienced due to environmental infrared
radiation. Ensure the matrix IR receiving window or IR EXT receiver are
away from direct sunlight, halogen lighting and plasma screens that may
interfere with IR signals.
Safety Recommendations:
Do not expose this apparatus to any form of moisture, including the
placement of anything containing liquids on the unit.
