    INTRODUCTION The HDR-8x8-XT with simultaneous CAT5e/6/7 and HDMI outputs connects eight HDMI input sources to sixteen displays. This matrix features eight mirrored HDMI outputs, providing 8 HDMI output ports and 8 CAT-Cable output ports simultaneously. The HDR-8x8-XT supports the transmission of video (resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 4Kx2K@30Hz) and supports high resolution digital audio formats such as LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio.

    EDID EDID. What is it and what is it used for? Under normal circumstances, a source device (digital and analog) will require information about a con- nected device/display to assess what resolutions and features it can produce. Using this information from the display, the source can then cater its output to send only resolutions and features that are com- patible with the attached device/display.

  • Page 9: Ir Control System

    IR CONTROL SYSTEM (IR Call-back of Matrix and Source Devices) The matrix is not only a switcher and extender of multiple HDMI signals to multiple HDMI receivers lo- cated remotely, it also passes IR control signals through the IR call-back system to the matrix and HDMI sources for full, independent control of all connected inputs from output locations.
  • Page 10 IR CONTROL SYSTEM (Continued) Figure 10-1 At Matrix end: Insert the 3.5mm jacks of the IR TX Emitters included with the unit into the IR TX Emitter ports at the rear of the matrix according to input. The IR signal is added to the HDMI of the input device so, for example, if the user is watching Blu-ray on input 1, the IR signal will be directed through the IR TX1 socket to control the device.
