2. Configuració

This section details the initial setup and connection of your OREI UHD88-EXB300-K HDMI Matrix Switch. Ensure all devices are powered off before making any connections.

2.1 Contingut del paquet

The package includes the main transmitter unit, six remote receiver units, a power cord, a DB9 RS-232 connection cable, RS-232 connection blocks, an IR remote control, an IR extender, and a warranty card with a full instruction manual.

2.2 Transmitter Unit Connections

• Entrades HDMI (1-8): Connect your HDMI source devices (e.g., Blu-Ray players, gaming consoles, media servers) to these ports using standard HDMI cables.
• HDBaseT Outputs (1-6): Connect CAT5e/6/7 cables from these ports to the HDBaseT input on the remote receiver units. These connections transmit video, audio, IR, and network signals, and also provide Power over Cable (PoC) to the receivers.
• Sortides HDMI (7-8): These are local HDMI outputs for connecting displays directly to the transmitter unit.
• Entrades d'àudio: Use the 3.5mm analog L/R, optical, or coaxial ports to inject external audio into the system.
• Sortides d'àudio: Analog L/R and coaxial audio outputs are available for each output channel, allowing for audio de-embedding.
• IR IN/OUT: Connect the provided IR blaster kits. The smaller head (transmitter) plugs into IR OUT, and the larger head (receiver) plugs into IR IN. Ensure correct connection for proper remote control signal transmission.
• LAN: Connect an Ethernet cable to your network for WebGUI control and network extension to remote locations.
• EL-232: Use the DB9 port or the provided connection blocks for serial control from a computer or control system.
• Entrada d'alimentació de CA: Connect the provided power cord to this port and a standard wall outlet. The transmitter powers the remote receivers via PoC.

2.3 Receiver Unit Connections

• HDBaseT IN: Connect the CAT5e/6/7 cable from the transmitter's HDBaseT output to this port. This port receives power, video, audio, and control signals.
• SORTIDA HDMI: Connect your display (TV, monitor, projector) to this port using an HDMI cable.
• IR IN/OUT: Connect the IR blaster kit. The larger head (receiver) plugs into IR IN, and the smaller head (transmitter) plugs into IR OUT. This allows control of the source device from the remote location and control of the display from the main unit.
• LAN: Connect an Ethernet cable from this port to a computer or network device at the remote location to extend network connectivity.
• Entrada òptica: Optional optical audio input for injecting audio at the remote location.
• EL-232: Use the connection blocks for serial control of devices at the remote location.

Note: The remote receiver units do not require a separate power supply due to Power over Cable (PoC) technology from the main transmitter unit.
