HARDWARE INSTALLATION BASIC SETUP: 1. Turn the power off on the HDR-8X8-XT. Do not hotplug! Insert and extract cables carefully with the power switch off. Connecting and disconnecting while the HDR-8X8-XT is powered can result in dam- age to circuitry.
FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS Figure 6-1 1. LCD: Displays all information regarding individual input settings/output settings and EDID manage- ment. 2. IR: IR Receiver window (accepts only the HDR 8x8 -XT remote control signal). POWER: Press this button to power the device on/off. The LED will illuminate green when the power is on, red when it is in 'Standby' mode.
HDX-POE-PRO HDBT receiver. For example, you can connect a control PC to the OUTPUT A, RS-232 connector on the HDR-8X8-XT. Then connect an RS-232 device to the RS-232 connector on the HDX-POE-PRO HDBT receiver connected to OUTPUT A on the HDR-8X8-XT .

CONTROL VIA ETHERNET HDR-8X8-XT TCP/IP control is a feature that allows source / display switching, EDID configuration and Network settings to be controlled remotely via HTTP. Manage your HDR-8X8-XT with ease from anywhere in the world. Make sure the HDR-8X8-XT RJ45 PC Control port is connected to your network.

CONTROL VIA ETHERNET (Continued) The Matrix Control Page is where you switch inputs to outputs. The column running top to bottom on the left shows the 8 outputs. The Top row shows the inputs or sources. Clicking the box where the input intersects the output sets the connection.
Why is EDID so important with the HDR 8x8 XT ? The HDR-8x8-XT is a complex piece of technology that replicates and switches between multiple inputs and outputs. Each connected source device will require one EDID to read. EDID management is carefully handled by the HDR-8x8-XT to provide a single EDID for each source to read.

HDBaseT RECEIVER POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE): This system can run with only the HDR-8X8-XT powered, RXs do not need to be powered. They are pow- ered via the CAT 5e/6 cable. INTERNET ACCESS for your connected devices: The RJ45 connector on the HDBaseT receiver labeled “HDBaseT IN” is for connecting to the HDR-8X8-XT.

IR CONTROL SYSTEM (IR Call-back of Matrix and Source Devices) IR IN/OUT: Super IR control system interface. The matrix is not only a switcher and extender of multiple HDMI signals to multiple remote HDMI receiv- ers. The HDR 8x8 XT 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.
