How to install Gefen 4K Ultra HD 600 MHz 4x4 Matrix
- Plan your routing: Map which sources will connect to which displays or zones and determine the preferred EDID and control method for the installation.
- Connect sources: Attach each HDMI source device (Blu-ray players, streaming boxes, gaming consoles, etc.) to the four HDMI inputs on the matrix using high-quality HDMI cables rated for 18 Gbps or higher.
- Connect displays: Run HDMI cables from the matrix’s four outputs to the corresponding displays or video zones. Ensure that each display is configured to the expected input and resolution.
- Power and placement: Connect the matrix to its external power supply and place it in a ventilated area. Install the unit in a rack or on a stable surface, ensuring adequate clearance for cooling.
- Initial configuration and testing: Use the front panel or IR remote to perform the initial routing tests. If needed, adjust EDID settings to ensure compatibility with all connected devices. Verify each source-to-display path at the desired resolutions and confirm that audio, video, and any HDR metadata are transmitted correctly.
- Integrate control: For installations requiring automation, connect the matrix via RS-232 or Ethernet to the control system. Save and test control commands, ensuring reliable switching and system-wide responsiveness.
