FAQs

What is the maximum bandwidth supported by this matrix?

The Lindy 8x8 HDMI 4K60 Matrix supports a bandwidth of 18 Gbit/s, which is necessary for transmitting 4K 60Hz signals with HDR.

Can this matrix switch between different HDMI versions?

The matrix supports HDMI 2.0b. While it can handle signals from older HDMI versions, its full capabilities (like 4K 60Hz HDR) are realized with HDMI 2.0b compliant sources and displays.

How does the downscaling feature work?

The downscale function allows each output port to convert a 4K signal (3840x2160) down to Full HD (1920x1080). This is useful for connecting to older displays that do not support 4K resolution.

What types of audio can be outputted separately?

You can get audio pass-through via HDMI. Additionally, there are dedicated Coax (digital) and 3.5mm (analog stereo) audio outputs for connecting external sound systems or amplifiers.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Lindy 8x8 HDMI 4K60 Matrix comes with a 2-year warranty.

Does this matrix support Audio Return Channel (ARC)?

Yes, the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature allows audio to be sent from a connected TV back to an audio system or soundbar over the same HDMI cable, simplifying audio setup.

Can I control this matrix remotely over a network?

Yes, the matrix features an RJ-45 port for network control and includes an intuitive Web GUI, allowing for remote management and switching.

Troubleshooting

No signal on output displays

Verify all HDMI cables are securely connected to both sources and displays. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the matrix and the corresponding output is active. Check that the source device is powered on and outputting a signal. Try shorter, certified HDMI cables if signal degradation is suspected.

Incorrect resolution or aspect ratio displayed

Check EDID settings via the Web GUI or RS-232. Ensure the connected display's native resolution is correctly communicated to the matrix. If using the downscale function, verify it's configured appropriately for Full HD output. Ensure HDR settings are consistent between source and display.

Audio is not outputting through separate ports

Confirm that the HDMI source device is configured to output audio separately from the video stream. Verify that the Coax or 3.5mm audio outputs are enabled in the matrix settings and that the connected audio system is functioning correctly. Check that the HDMI audio pass-through is not inadvertently disabled.

Remote control not working

Ensure the remote control has functional batteries. Check that the IR receiver on the front of the matrix is not obstructed. If using the IR extension, ensure it is properly connected and positioned. Try using the front panel buttons to confirm the matrix unit itself is responsive.

Device not powering on

Ensure the DC power adapter is securely connected to both the matrix and a functional power outlet. Check the input current requirement (5A) and ensure the power outlet can supply adequate power. Try a different power outlet if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect your 8 HDMI source devices to the HDMI input ports and your 8 HDMI displays to the HDMI output ports using certified High-Speed HDMI cables. Connect audio devices to the Coax or 3.5mm audio outputs if needed. Power the unit using the included 12V DC adapter. Control can be initiated via the front panel buttons, included remote, or through the Web GUI/RS-232 for advanced configuration.

Compatibility: The matrix supports HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2, ensuring compatibility with most modern 4K HDR content and devices, including set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and media players. EDID management features help maintain correct display resolutions. Ensure all HDMI cables are certified for 18Gbps to support 4K 60Hz signals.

Care: The unit features a metal housing and an OLED display. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device, as it has a maximum power consumption of 43W. Operating temperature is between -10°C to 45°C, and storage temperature between -20°C to 60°C. Relative humidity should be between 20-90% (non-condensing).
