Function Description

1. Quad View Mode Description
   • Each group of output port on our Matrix supports Quad View mode. You can set the Quad View mode or full screen display for each group of output port. You can switch input ports with front panel buttons, IR signals, RS232 commands and TCP/IP commands. Audio switching is supported under the Quad View mode. You can choose the audio source by pressing the front panel [ ] button in Quad View mode and other methods. Audio swi tches synchronously when multiple output ports are in Quad View mode.
2. OSD Description
   • There are blue characters (OSD information) on the screen on Quad View mode to indicate the input source port numbers and whether it is the current selected audio source. It will appear on the top left corner when each time you switch audio. The OSD will disappear automatically after about 5 seconds of display.
3. Mirrored Extended Outputs
   • The 4X8 HDMI Matrix w/Cat 5 Extender has a built-in distribution chip in each output port. you will get not only 4 HDMI outputs at the local end but also 4 mirrored extended outputs through Cat 5e/6 network cables. The extension distance is up to 50m. Each group of remote end (RJ45) output is synchronized with the local end (HDMI) output. If the HDMI port of any group of output is full screen display, the RJ45 port of this output group will be a full screen display; if the HDMI port of any group of output is Quad View display, the RJ45 port of this output group will be a Quad View display.
4. IR Pass Through
   • The IR remote control on the left side of the picture below is used to control the Matrix at the local end. The IR remote control on the right side is used to control the matrix remotely through the corresponding Extender. The Matrix remote control cannot be used at the remote end. The Extender remote control cannot be used at the local end.
   • At the remote end, the IR receiver cable connected to the Extender can be used to remotely control HDMI video input devices such as DVD players, set-top boxes and streaming media players. You can experience the same effect as using the remote control directly from the input end. At the same time, it supports the use of the remote control included in the package to control from the remote end.

Tips

1. In order to ensure the normal use of the remote control function, please make sure that the IR receiver cable on the Extender and each IR transmitter cable on the Matrix are well connected, and each transmitter is placed as close as possible to the input device’s infrared receiver.
2. When any remote end is switched to Quad View mode, the corresponding local HDMI output will also be switched to Quad View mode.
