HDMI Over IP is the future of HDMI Distribution. We highly advise you to purchase a transmitter and receiver and test out the system on the sources and display devices you will be using. We recommend use of a separate network switch for the video system. We use a fully managed Dell 35xx series switch. The 28xx series of Dell switches are not compatible with serial control. You will receive the following items with this purchase:

• The transmitters and receivers you select in the purchase option
• Dell 35xx Network Switch

• RTI Purchasers- The switch will be pre-configured before shipment

With the purchasing of transmitters and receivers with this package we have decided to include a discount on the included driver

• Control4 Driver/License:
• * The included Control4 driver is a 12in x 12out for the 24 port switch and a 24in x 24out for the 48 port switch.
• The driver REQUIRES A KEY CODE TO WORK. Add the mac address of the device running director below when ordering or email it to us after purchase.
• In order for BlackWire Designs to generate a replacement activation code we will need Control4 to verify that the controller was RMAed. When requesting a new key please send in the Control4 RMA number belonging to the controller.

Unused Devices HDMI Ports WILL go into standby:

When no tv is watching a source the HDMI port will turn off on that source. When you select that source there will be a 5-15 second time for the HDMI port to re-activate and handshake to display a video signal on your tv screen. The best option to make your HDMI Matrix system have instant switching at all times is to add an extra receiver for each source and keep them in the rack with no HDMI cable plugged into them.

Video Resolutions:

The Receivers have a built in scaler which allows you to broadcast a 1080P signal to any 1080P tvs on the network and then also the scaler will lower the resolution to 720p etc for any tv that is not 1080P capable allowing you to get the highest resolution signal on the tvs that can display it.

Sound:

The HDMI over IP solution distributes the PCM stereo audio in the HDMI data stream. it does not distribute 5.1,7.1 or lossless audio. You will need to hook up other forms of digital audio to any surround sound receivers to get the signal since the HDMI is not running through the receiver. Otherwise the audio signal will output to the tv. Please make sure any devices you are using don't need to be configured in the settings to output the audio via optical/digital coax instead of HDMI.
