How to Install KanexPro 4-Input HDBaseT Card for Modular Matrix with 4K

• Power down the HDMMX modular matrix chassis and any connected devices before installation to prevent electrical damage or misconfigurations.
• Identify the appropriate slot or slot group on the HDMMX chassis for inserting the MOD-IN-CAT6-4K card, following the manufacturer’s installation guide and ensuring compatibility with your model revision.
• Insert the MOD-IN-CAT6-4K card firmly into the designated slot, verifying a secure connection and proper seating to avoid intermittent contact during operation.
• Connect four HDMI source devices to the card’s input ports using HDMI cables. Route each source’s HDMI signal to the corresponding input on the card, ensuring secure cable termination and strain relief.
• Run Cat6 cables from the MOD-IN-CAT6-4K card to the related HDBaseT-compatible destinations within your facility, following the existing CAT6 distribution plan. Terminate the cables at both ends with standard TIA-568B copper terminations.
• Connect the matrix outputs to the display endpoints or routing destinations as dictated by your installation design. Verify that each path is consistent with the matrix routing schema you intend to implement.
• Connect the RS232 control line from your control system or room controller to the MOD-IN-CAT6-4K’s RS232 port to enable automated routing and device management. Configure the control commands in your automation software as needed.
• Power on the modular matrix and the newly installed card. Access the matrix’s management interface to configure source-to-output routing, resolution settings, and any necessary EDID management. Validate that each source appears correctly at the intended outputs and that 4K content is displayed without degradation.
• Perform a final verification by cycling through input sources and confirming that the signals traverse the HDBaseT path accurately at the required distances. Check audio alignment, naming, and any control sequences initiated through RS232 to ensure reliable operation in real-world usage.
