For Control4 dealers
TDC Orei 8x8 Matrix Control4 Driver
Control OREI 8x8 HDMI / HDBaseT matrices from Control4 over IP. Room selections route sources, every output shows its live route, and on audio models each coax and analog output follows its HDMI output, ready to feed your multi-room audio.
What it does
The driver connects to the matrix over its network control port. Picking a source in a Control4 room routes the matching input to that room's output, and the driver shows which input is on every output. Programming commands route any input to one or all outputs, recall presets 1-4 and turn displays on or off over CEC.
Compatibility
- TDC Orei: OREI UHD816-EX230-K 8x8 and UHD48-EX230-K 4x4 HDMI / HDBaseT matrices.
- TDC Orei HDBaseT: OREI UHD88-EXB400R-K and UHD-808 8x8 matrices with coax and analog audio outputs, plus the BK-808. Outputs 1-8 come in as HDMI, HDBaseT, digital coax, analog and HDMI audio bindings. Coax and analog out N always play the same source as HDMI out N, so you can bind them straight into a multi-room audio system.
- One site licence covers either driver on the controller.
- Matrix LAN port on the network.
- Matrix and controller on the same subnet; TCP 8000 reachable.
Installation
Set up in Composer Pro

Frequently asked questions
Is the licence charged per matrix?
No. One $65 USD site licence covers the driver on one Control4 controller.
Does it show the current routes?
Yes. The Output 1-8 Source properties and Control4 room state follow the matrix, including changes made from its front panel or remote.
Can the coax outputs feed a multi-room audio system?
Yes. Use TDC Orei HDBaseT. Each coax and analog output is its own binding and always carries the same source as its HDMI output, so picking a source in an audio zone routes it on the matrix and the matching display follows.
Can I route without Control4 rooms?
Yes. Use the Route programming command for any input to one or all outputs.
