Diagram explanation
In the diagram ("Example wiring diagram") we have detailed a setup to show how
the majority of MHUB' s feature-set could be connected and demonstrated together.
MHUB, sources, displays and the AVR are controlled by uControl and Amazon Alexa.
Decentralised or centralised installation
This MHUB is working decentralised: meaning that it is not installed in a central
location from which everything is connected. In this example, MHUB is situated
in the same zone as one of its outputs (Living Room) using a standard HDMI
cable. Connected to the MHUB are three video sources and an AVR. The AVR is
providing amplification for the multi-channel speaker setup in the Living Room and
is controlled by IR via one of MHUB' s Global IR (OUT) ports.
Video outputs A & B terminate in zones; Living Room and Bedroom respectively.
The Living room is fed from a standard HDMI cable and the Bedroom is connected
via Cat 6 cable to a display receiver.
Network connectivity is fed to MHUB via WiFi provided by a router. Connecting
MHUB to LAN will ensure that uControl can configure MHUB and control the entire
system.
Living Room
The Living Room has an IR RX (see page 14) connected to its HDMI IR Dongle (see
page 13). IR signals can be passed back to the source devices located next to the
MHUB meaning that those source devices can be hidden away in a cupboard or
out-of-sight for a neat and tidy finish. Control over the TV and the sources is done
using each devices native remote control which are kept in the Living Room. The
display in the Living Room is 4K and MHUB will send uncompressed 4K content
directly to it. Audio is provided directly from the video sources or can be extracted
from the display via ARC and routed to the AVR for multi-channel audio output on
demand.
Bedroom
MHUB can downscale 4K to 1080p so the option for mixed resolution displays are
possible. The Bedroom is connected by HDBaseT using Tipping Point Compression
(TPC) to display a theoretical maximum 18Gbps bandwidth picture. This room has
no remote controls. Control of the TV and source devices are done using voice
commands or uControl.
Note:
MHUB has been designed so that it can be installed in several different
ways. The purpose of the diagram is to illustrate a typical/example setup
and assumes that you are already familiar with the basics of wiring and
infrastructure. If you are unsure how you might install MHUB in to your
property then contact support@hdanywhere.com for further assistance.
