INTRODUCTION
7. Output Port:
Pull down menu and select which source to be sent to this
output port.
The HSW88C 8x8 HDMI over CAT5 Matrix Switch with IR Pass-through
provides the most flexible and cost effective solution in the market to
route high definition video sources plus multi-channel (up to 7.1-channel)
digital audio from any of the eight HDMI source devices to the remote
displays at the same time. Through low cost Cat-5/5e/6 LAN cables, not
only high quality video and audio can be transmitted to the display sites,
but also users can switch among eight HDMI sources using the push
button on the receiver or remote control. With single power design at
the source site, each remote module is easily installed without power
supply. Furthermore, the built-in IR extension allows users to control the
HDMI source devices such as the Blu-ray Disc player or satellite receiver
at display site!
One by one setting

First select input source. Then select the output
ports which you want to send the video and audio
from this source. When you select the input source,
the source will change to gray. When you select
the output port one by one, the selected output port
will change to gray.
The linking line will change to yellow.
