How to install SIIG 4K60Hz 18Gbps HDMI over IP Matrix Kit

Setting up this HDMI over IP matrix is designed to be straightforward, whether you are upgrading an existing AV system or integrating into a new build. Plan your layout with clarity, label sources and destinations, and pre‑plan your IP routing strategy to maximize reliability and performance.

• Plan and prepare: Identify source devices (e.g., Blu‑ray players, media servers, computers) and destination endpoints (receivers, displays, or video walls). Verify CAT6/7 cables meet the installation length requirements and map out PoE availability for any powered devices in the chain. Prepare the network with proper subnets and bandwidth considerations to support 4K60 HDR and multicast traffic.
• Connect the matrix hardware: Install the transmitter(s) and receiver(s) at their respective locations. Use CAT6/7 cables to link transmitters to receivers and connect each unit to power or enable PoE where applicable. Keep cables tidy and avoid running data cables parallel to power lines to minimize interference.
• Power and initial configuration: If PoE is available, power will be delivered through the Ethernet ports; otherwise, supply power per the included adapters. Power on the matrix and any connected displays and equipment. Access the management interface from a connected PC or controller to begin routing and configuration.
• Route and optimize signals: Use the matrix management software or on‑device controls to assign inputs to outputs. Configure one‑to‑one paths for direct source‑to‑display connections, or establish one‑to‑many and N‑to‑M multicast paths for synchronized content across multiple screens. Enable HDCP 2.2 pass‑through and HDR settings to ensure compatibility with your playback devices and displays.
• Calibrate and test: Check video clarity, color accuracy, and motion handling at each display. Test audio channels (Stereo and S/PDIF) and confirm IR and RS‑232 control responses. If you are creating a video wall, verify alignment, bezels, and uniform brightness across panels. Document IP addresses and routing maps for future maintenance.
