Installation
Matrix Transmitter Installation
Notes:
1. The below installation diagram and instructions are for a standard HDBaseT HDMI over Cat5
Matrix Transmitter installation. For instructions on adding transceivers to your installation, refer to
the Extender Kit with Transceiver Installation section.
2. The installation diagram below shows a BHDBT-T-SI-4X2. Installation will be the same for the
BHDBT-T-SI-4X4, except for the number of HDMI Output ports.
3. See the Product Features section of this manual for models compatible with your Matrix
Transmitter and for information on your model’s maximum supported distances and resolutions.
4. Test to make sure the entire installation works properly before pulling cables through ceilings/walls.
5. To achieve maximum distance and performance, use 24 AWG solid wire Cat5e/6 or 23 AWG solid
wire Cat6a cable. Using stranded wire cable or cable with a gauge (AWG) size higher than that
recommended will result in shorter extension distance. Higher gauge cabling such as 26 AWG has
a more limited transmission capability than lower gauge cabling. All Tripp Lite N202-Series Cat6
cables are made with 24 AWG solid wire cabling. Extended lengths of 23 AWG solid wire Cat6a
cable is available from Tripp Lite as a custom order.
6. When using a 28 AWG HDMI cable and displaying video resolutions higher than 1080p, the HDMI
cables connecting the source and the monitor must not exceed 6 feet. When using a 24 AWG
HDMI cable, you must not exceed a 16-foot length.
7. Each receiver unit includes one set of IR-IN and IR-OUT cables. It is up to the user to determine
whether the cables will be used to extend an IR signal from the transmitter side to the receiver
side, or the receiver side to the transmitter side. In most installations, the cables will be used to
control the HDMI source (e.g., Blu-ray player) from the same location as the monitor connected to
the receiver.
