Installation
Hardware Installation
1. Install Matrix Transmitter
a) Position the Matrix Transmitter near the video source devices (i.e. Computers, Blu-
ray Players).
b) Connect up to four HDMI cables (not included) from each of your HDMI video
source devices (i.e. computers, Blu-ray Players) to each of the HDMI input ports on
the matrix switch.
c) (Optional) If you intend to use local displays, connect up to 4 HDMI cables (not
included) from each local HDMI output port on the matrix switch to the HDMI input
ports on your local displays (i.e. televisions, projectors).
d) (Optional) If using the Extender kit to transmit an infrared (IR) device signal,
and the device receiving the IR signal is on the Receiver side. Connect the IR
Transmitter Cable (included with each STHDBTRX Receiver Unit) to the IR-Receiver
port that corresponds with remote device that being controlled on the Matrix
Unit, and position the extended IR sensor directly in front of the video source’s IR
sensor. Check the manual of your video source device for the IR sensor location.
If the device receiving the IR signal is on the Transmitter side, then connect the
IR Transmitter Cable (also included with each STHDBTRX Receiver Unit) to the IR-
Transmitter port that corresponds with the remote device that is being transmitter,
and position the IR sensor where the remote control will point.
e) Connect the power adapter from an available power outlet to the Power jack on the
Matrix switch.
2. Install RJ45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet Cable
