FOURKAY MX4K44BT-TW PoE Receivers Ethernet Matrix Switch

Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance and safety, please read these instructions carefully before connecting, operating or adjusting this product. Please keep this manual for future reference.

SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE RECOMMENDED
This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shocks, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection systems is highly recommended in order to protect and extend the life of your equipment.

SAFETY NOTICE

1. The transmission distances of HDMI over UTP cables are measured using TE CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6

2. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for CAT cables is recommended for better performance.

3. DO NOT use 568A/568B standard mixed CAT cable (cross-over cable) because there are 2 pairs swapped, this will make POE OVER-CURRENT and damage POE components. Please use straight-through CAT cable (both RJ45 headers are 568A or 568B standard).

4. It is recommended that power up the device after connections of the source, sink, and CAT cable.

5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in CAT cable, do not run HDBaseT / Zone Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close parallel proximity to main power cables. Shielded CAT cables can be used to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.

6. Because the quality of the CAT cables has a major effect on how long the transmission limit can be achieved and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject cables.

7. Do not substitute or use any other Power Supply other than the enclosed unit, or a Factor Electronics-approved Replacement Part. Doing so will void the warranty and potentially expose the user to dangerous voltages resulting in an electrical shock.

8. Do not disassemble the device
   warranty. Also, our unique case is an integral part of the design of this unit and is responsible for cooling and circuitry shielding. Any modifications to this case will potentially cause malfunction and product failure.

9. Do not expose the device to water, moisture, or liquid. Possible electric shock may result as well as failure of the unit to operate.

Introduction

The MX4K44BT is an HDMI/HDBaseT matrix that can route four Hi-Def sources to any four HDTV displays, supporting 1080p Full HD up to 4K@60Hz HDR plus all 3D formats, along with multichannel digital audio formats such as Dolby® True HD and DTS-
Embedded audio extractors can extract the audio and output via L/R or Coaxial. Volume can be controlled for analog audio out. Based on the HDBaseT Lite chipset inside, the output distance can reach up to 70m via Cat5e/Cat6. Each source can be routed to any display using the front-panel push buttons, IR remote control, RS-232 interface, or via TCP/IP.
