If you've got a sports bar or restaurant and you want to show different programs on different TVs, or if you've got a house full of kids and family, each of whom wants to watch their own shows, you need an HDMI® Matrix!

This 4x4 Matrix HDMI Switch & Splitter is the perfect way to get ultimate flexibility out of your entertainment system. You can plug up to four different HDMI sources (e.g., blu-ray player, DVR, Xbox 360, PS3, etc.) into the Matrix and up to four output displays. The Matrix will let you independently switch between the four inputs for each display. Each display can simultaneously use the same signal or any combination of different signals.

Unlike most Matrix Switch/Splitters, this model also includes the capability of extending either or both outputs over a pair of Cat5e/Cat6 cables up to 40 meters (131 feet) away! This lets you deliver full 1080p signals further than you could with HDMI cable alone (about 25 feet) and saves you money by using cheaper Cat5e/Cat6 cable for the longer distance delivery.

The kit comes with five remote controls, including a main remote for controlling the Matrix directly, and four smaller remotes for controlling it from the rooms where the Cat5e/Cat6 receivers are located. Additionally, it comes with infrared repeaters, allowing you to control your source devices from the remote location(s). As a bonus, the receivers and/or matrix unit can be controlled with a computer using the RS232 interface.

In addition to the Matrix's own remote controls, each receiver unit can receive the remote control signals from the remotes for your various source devices (blu-ray player, cable box, etc.). These IR signals are then transmitted back down the Cat5e/Cat6 cables to the main Matrix unit, which then distributes the IR signal to an IR emitter that corresponds to the source device feeding the signal to that receiver. This allows you to use identical source devices with identical remote control codes, yet still independently control each from the remote location, providing the emitters and devices are not positioned so that one can "see" the IR signal intended for the other.
