1. Introduction
Tributaries HM440IR 4X4 HDMI Matrix switch is a high performance system
that allows an IR signal to pass along with the HDMI signal over dual CAT6
cabling. The IR function provides for the control of remote source equipment.
It is compatible with HDMI v1.3 specifications, a cutting edge technology which
defines support for Deep Color (12 bits/color) video and new lossless compressed
(Dolby®TrueHD, Dolby Digital®Plus and DTS®-HD Master Audio) digital audio.
The HM440IR offers the maximum convenience in HDMI signal distribution. Each
of the four HDMI sources can be directed to any one of the four HDMI displays
allowing each display to simultaneously show a different source. The HDMI signal,
as it progresses through the system, is re-timed and level-compensated. The use
of CAT6 provides for a maximum distance of 148ft (45m) at 1080p/8-bit color. The
Tributaries HXC6R passive CAT6 repeater can be used to double the maximum
distance.
