  • Page 3 Introduction The RTI 4x4 HDBaseT™ Matrix combines exceptional performance with outstanding value for custom integrators world-wide. The VX44-18G-KIT is an HDMI 2.0 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDCP 2.2 matrix using Color Space Conversion (CSC) technology to deliver HDMI, Bi-directional IR and PoC up to lengths of 70m over a single CAT cable.
  • Page 4 IR Emitter Outputs - 3.5mm mono connector to connect to RTI IR emitter. Used for local source control IR Receiver Inputs - 3.5mm stereo connector to connect to RTI IR receiver. Used to extend IR from matrix to HDBaseT™ outputs 1-4...
  • Page 5 / integrator. To obtain resolutions lower than 1080p, a separate scaler device must be specified. To obtain CSC pass-through the RTI VX44-18G Matrix must be used with RTI VRX70-18G HDBaseT™ Receivers. Using an alternative RTI HDBaseT™ receiver will result in the CSC functionality not being available so the maximum output resolution will be 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 (10.2Gbps).
