Wiring and Connections

WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in it’s entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.

IMPORTANT! Installation Requirements

The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.
WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI cables due to the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the product.

Installation and Operation

Connect HDMI sources to INPUT ports 1-4 using good quality HDMI cables.
Connect an HDMI display device to the HDMI OUT ports of the switcher.

To operate the switcher, press the SWITCH buttons on the front of the unit to scroll numerically through connected sources.
Alternatively, use the remote control handset to scroll forwards and backwards through the inputs or push buttons 1-4 corresponding to the connected sources. Furthermore, a RS-232 connection from a control system can be used to control the device.
