Introduction About the switch system The HDBaseT 16x16 and 32x32 matrix switches are high-performance video and audio modular matrix switches. Various changeable cards make matrix switches flexible and an all-in-one solution for different projects. The matrix switches can support different video signals with cross switching. Every video or audio signal is transmitted and switched independently;...

SELECT: Used to transfer video and audio signal (HDMI) from an input to an output. To transfer both the video and audio signals from input Example channel 3 to output channel 4, press the buttons as follows: Input “0” "3" + Output “0” "4" + "SELECT". CLEAR: Clear an operation, such as switching output channel, studying EDID data before it comes into effect.
Notes Input Channel: Fill with the number of input channel to be controlled, Output Channel: Fill with the number of output channels to be controlled. Press Global to select all the outputs. The input and output channels on the rear panel are counting from left to right, and top to bottom.
Changeable cards introduction and installation You can insert changeable cards into empty slots on the matrix switches (hot-swap) and include different signals, such as HDMI, VGA, and HDBaseT. The following introduces you to each card. HDMI cards See Table 10: HDMI (CM-MOD-HDI10 and CM-MOD-HDO10) on page 18. The HDMI signal card is embedded with EDID management technology and supports CEC and DDC.

Table 6 lists the pin layouts of the RJ45 connectors. You can choose from two different connection standards. The connectors of the same cable should use the same standard. The Cat5e/Cat6 terminations for HDBaseT devices should be a straight thru Note: TIA/EIA T568B standard.
Connecting with the RS-232 communication port You can control the switch from the front panel, IR, or RS-232. The pin definitions are listed in the table below.
