5.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
Turn off equipment that will be connected to the matrix. Mount the matrix in an
equipment rack if desired, using the included rack ears. Otherwise, place the
matrix on a flat surface with adequate ventilation and access to the front and
rear panels.
Connect an HDMI approved cable from each HDMI source to an input of the
matrix. Cable lengths should be kept as short as possible.
Since HDMI connectors can sometimes become loose, use locking HDMI
cables or mount the matrix to a flat surface and add strain relief tie-downs a
few inches away from every HDMI cable connector.
If using locking cables, remove the Phillips screws above each HDMI port and
replace them with the hex-head jack screws provided. Plug in the HDMI cable
and insert the cable screws into the jack screw heads.
Connect the outputs of the matrix to their destination devices.
If you are using the infrared extension function, connect the extension IR
sensor cable and position the sensor.
Connect the power adapter to the AC source and then to the matrix. Twist the
DC plug to 90 degrees in the matrix power port to lock.
If you are using the RS-232 control function, connect an RS-232 cable with
pinout as shown below.
