Quickstart Guide
WyreStorm 8x8 HDBaseT Matrix Switcher with S/PDIF
Optical and Stereo Audio Outputs and 2-Way IR
MX-0808-PP-AUD
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
1
Connect HDMI sources to HDMI inputs 1 - 8 of the matrix using
good quality cables - we recommend WyreStorm Express HDMI
cables.
2
Connect a good quality, well-terminated Cat5e/6 cable of no more
than 70m/230ft from matrix UTP output ports 1 - 8 to UTP IN ports
of connected display receivers.
3
Connect HDMI display devices to the HDMI OUT ports of receivers.
4
If connecting to additional Audio Outputs, connect the a 3.5mm
cable from the Analogue L/R OUT port to your chosen device (such
as multi-room audio system)

For connection to third party amplification equipment, connect
a good quality Optical cable from the S/PDIF Out port of the
transmission card to your selected AV Receiver or Power Amplifier
6
Insert the matrix power supply included and switch on the Power
on the front panel. Check front panel LED's are lit to indicate your
WyreStorm system should now be fully connected and ready for use.
7
Receivers are not powered remotely via PoH from the matrix so
mains power is required at display locations. Insert the 12v mains.
8
Check POWER, STATUS and LINK lights are illuminated on receivers
to indicate successful connection, with a lit HDCP light illustrating the
presence of encryption within the signal.
9
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.
Likewise, the 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 let you know
the matrix has been set.
Basic Signal IR/RS232 Control
10
Connect IR emitters from the matrix IR TX ports to the IR receiving
areas of sources, firmly attaching emitter eyes onto sources.
11
Connect IR Link cables (sold separately) from the matrix IR RX ports
to a control system. For an RS232-based control system, RS232
cables should be used from matrix to control system and between
receivers and display device.
12
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.

operation and control.
