A/V - HDMI Matrix 4x8 over Cat 5e/6 or HDMI
© Graphic Image Technologies 2021
Description
The ultimate Home / Office HDMI signal distribution system. No
more family debates about who is watching what on which television.
Each one of the 4x HDMI source inputs such as DSTV Decoders, Blu-
ray Players, TV Boxes etc. can be switched to all or any one of 4x
televisions located at extended locations such as Bedrooms,
Entertainment areas, Offices etc. independently of each other. The
HDMI source devices need no longer be distributed around your
home/ office but rather 'pooled' for more efficient use (located
together)
The extension to each of the 4x locations is via a CAT6 cable and
supports full remote control of the HDMI source device such as a
DSTV decoder from each of the extended locations. Each of the 4x
HDMI inputs are also selected via a remote control located at each
extended location.
Installation Overview (manual Included)
- On a typical home installation the Matrix itself, main TV and 'pooled
HDMI source devices' are all located in the same TV Cabinet or server
room. In this case, the main TV is directly connected via a Matrix
HDMI Output 1 (A) via an HDMI cable, 15m max
- The remaining 3x TV's located at extended locations have connected
the Matrix via CAT cable and the Matrix Receiver Units (RJ45 UTP
outputs B, C & D). A 5th extended TV can also be connected to UTP
output A but will always display the same output as the main TV
connected to output A.
- Each of the 4 x HDMI sources devices must have an included TX IR
eye fitted. This is to relay remote control commands from the
extended locations.
- Each of the extended TV's will have an RX IR eye fitted to the outer
frame of the TV. This is to receive and then relay the remote control
commands from the extended locations.
- Up to 4x CAT cables and fit into your standard 20mm home conduit.
If you have existing old RF coaxial cables these can be used as 'pull
wires' for the new CAT cable.
Main System Features

distance of 60m (CAT5e/6)

from each of extended locations when routed to that particular
HDMI source device.
