The Z44 is designed to be on and connected to an active internet connection at all times. It will operate correctly
when not connected to a network (or the internet) but certain functions will not be available.
1.
Connect a standard Ethernet cable (while the matrix is disconnected from the mains power source) from your
router or network switch, cross over cables are not supported.
2.
Connect your source devices into the HDMI input ports using a High Speed HDMI cable or better (not supplied). It is
recommended for future ease of use to connect devices from Input 1 to Input 4, although you can connect them
in any order you wish.
3. Sink devices are connected via category cable (see cabling advise at the start of this guide) from the Output port
to a receiver. You can use any HDBaseT™ certified PoH Class B receiver, however we recommend using the
supplied receivers where possible. Complete the connection from the receiver to the Sink device (i.e. your TV) via
a HDMI cable.
4.
Once all connections have been made, turn the matrix on by connecting the power supply to the mains.
5.
The power supply is an external 110Watt desktop style PSU with a C14 input connector. It is designed to operate in
all countries, you may need to use an adapter cable for your local territory that is not supplied.
Note: There is no on/off switch on the matrix, it is designed to always be on. When connecting the power connector
to the matrix, ensure the power supply is disconnected from the mains supply.
The front panel LEDs will both illuminate along with the Zektor logo briefly and then the system will begin its initialisation
sequence. This takes approximately 20 seconds, the system is fully initialised once the System LED is solid green. The
network LED will also turn solid green if it detects an active internet connection.
If after 3 minutes and the system has not completed initialisation any other LED combination appears consult the
troubleshooting guide for further help.
Note: it is possible that a firmware update may be available the first time you power the system, in this instance the
system may take longer to initialise. If both the system and monitoring LEDs flash orange and/or green together very
quickly the update is being applied, please wait and do not disconnect the power until this update is complete.

IR CONNECTION
The IR Emitter is to be mounted with the sticky pad horizontally over the source device's
infrared sensor and the Receiver bud vertically on the underside of the TV.
We provide a Mono -> Stereo adapter cable (ZEK-IR-OPTOCABLE) to bridge between our
systems and control systems (such as RTI and Control4), we highly recommend using these
cables instead of manually coupling a transmitter and receiver together.
CONNECTING RACK EARS
The supplied rack ears can be fitted to the front or rear of the chassis and requires 1U of rack space, plus additional
shelving to secure the power supply too. Ensure the matrix is securely fitted to the rack using 4 rack nut/bolts.

To setup the matrix you need to use the built in web interface. This can be accessed from any locally connected device
via Wi-Fi or a fixed wire connection.For this function to work, the device you are using must be on the same network, either
via wireless or a fixed network connection. Also, the monitoring LED on the front of the matrix must be a solid green.
GOTOMYMATRIX.COM
You can easily access the matrix web interface by visiting www.gotomymatrix.com into any web browser, on any
device, this will locate the matrix automatically on your local network. You can access the web interface from a
mobile, tablet, laptop or desktop PC. It is designed to work on Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari. An
Android app is also available.
USING THE WEB INTERFACE
Many of the controls in the user interface (UI) are drag and drop friendly. These drag drop actions will work on
any device. Advanced guides on using the web interface can be found on the monitoring portal, provided by
Pulse-Eight, at http://monitoring.pulse-eight.com/
VIDEO ROUTING
The home page of the UI displays the current routing, devices in blue are active, we have detected they are powered
up*. Select an input with a single click/press and the outputs that this input is routed to will be highlighted. Press again
the same input to restore the normal display.
To change the routing of the matrix, drag the input and drop it on the output you want to send that video to. Once
routing is successful a green success message will display. If for some reason this routing cannot be done a red error
message will be shown explaining the reason.
*Due to certain HDMI limitations this may not be 100% accurate at all times
