CONNECTING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI How to Connect the 8x8 Matrix for HDMI w/4 ELR-POL Outputs 1. Connect up to eight Hi-Def sources to the 8x8 Matrix for HDMI w/4 ELR-POL Outputs s using HDMI cables. 2. Using HDMI cables, connect up to four HDTV displays to the HDMI outputs on the matrix, and up to four HDTV displays to the supplied ELR-POL Receiver units. 3. Connect each ELR-POL Receiver unit to the 8x8 Matrix for HDMI w/4 ELRPOL Outputs s using CAT-5e (or better) cables.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI Main Display The Main Display of the 8x8 Matrix for HDMI w/4 ELR-POL Outputss is a 16 character 2 line display. This display shows the current routing status of the matrix and is also used to display additional system information. When the unit is powered on, the following screen is displayed: After a few moments, the status screen is displayed.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI Determining the Current Routing State In the example below, the first row (OUT) represents each HDMI output on the matrix. The bottom row (IN) represents each HDMI input on the matrix. Together, these two rows display the current routing state. Starting on the bottom row, we can see that Input 3 has been routed to Outputs A, B, C, and D.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI Routing Sources Selecting the Output 1. To select the output, press the Out - or Out + button once. The routing state for Output A will be displayed: 2. Press the Out - or Out + button to cycle through the routing state for each output. Consecutively pressing the Out + button will cycle through each output, from left to right.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI 3. Consecutively pressing the Out - button will cycle through each output, from right to left. Changing the Source 4. Once the desired output has been selected, press the Input + or Input button. Consecutively pressing the Input + button will increment the input value by a factor of 1 (within a range of 1 - 8). For example, if Input 4 was originally routed to Output D, then pressing the Input + button will route Input 5 to Output D.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI 5. Consecutively pressing the Input - button will decrease the input value by a factor of 1 (within a range of 1 - 8). For example, if Input 3 was originally routed to Output D, pressing the Input - button will route Input 2 to Output D. Source changed from Input p 3 to Input p 2. To change the routing status of another output, press the Output + or Output - buttons to navigate to the desired output.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI Locking / Unlocking the Front Panel To prevent an accidental routing change or power-down (by pressing the Power button), the front-panel buttons on the 8x8 Matrix for HDMI w/4 ELR-POL Outputs s can be locked. Locking the matrix also disables many RS-232 / Telnet commands.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI FAST SWITCHING TECHNOLOGY Fast Switching Technology Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI products. FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specifications. FST provides quicker audio/video source switching and greatly improves the overall audio/video system behavior and performance when more than one HDTV display is used in the system setup.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI Determining the Current Switching Mode Each HDMI input can be set to Fast Mode or Slow Mode. It is recommended that each HDMI input be set to Fast Mode for best performance. 1. Consecutively press the Menu button on the front panel until the switching modes screen is displayed. The first row (IN) represents each HDMI input on the matrix. The bottom row (MODE) represents the current switching mode of each HDMI input. Selecting the Input 2.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI 3. Press the Output - or Output + button again to cycle through the routing state for each output. Consecutively pressing the Output + button will cycle through each input, from left to right, starting with Input 1: NOTE: In Routing mode, the Output + and Output - buttons cycle through each output. In Switching mode, these same buttons are used to cycle through each input. 4.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI Changing the Switching Mode 5. Once the desired input has been selected, press the Input + or Input button to toggle between Fast or Slow switching mode. Switching mode changed from Fast to Slow on Input p 3. To change the switching mode of another input, press the Output + or Output - button to navigate to the desired input. Press the Input + or Input - button to toggle the switching mode between Fast (F) or Slow (S). 6.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI Setting the IR Channel on the 8x8 Matrix for HDMI In order for the 8x8 Matrix for HDMII to communicate with the included IR Remote Control, both the matrix and the IR Remote Control must be set to the same IR channel. Follow the procedure outlined below to set the IR channel on the 8x8 Matrix for HDMI. 1. From the Routing screen, simultaneously press the Input -, Input +, and the Output - buttons to display the IR address screen.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI 3. After setting the IR address, make sure that the DIP switches on the IR Remote Control are set according to the information in the LCD display. See page 11 for information on setting the IR channel for the IR Remote Control unit. In this case, the 8x8 Matrix for HDMII is set to IR channel 1. Therefore, DIP switch 1 on the IR Remote Control must be set to the ON position and DIP switch 2 must be set to the OFF position. 4.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI Routing Sources using the IR Remote Control Buttons 1 - 8 on the IR remote control correspond to each HDMI input (Input 1 - 8) on the Matrix. Buttons A - D correspond to each HDMI output (Output A - D) and buttons E-H correspond to each ELR-POL output (Output E-H). To route a source to a display, press the desired output first, then press the input. Routing Example: Route Input 4 to Output C 1. Select Output C by pressing button C on the IR Remote Control.
OPERATING THE 8X8 MATRIX FOR HDMI 3.
EDID MANAGEMENT External EDID Management The 8x8 Matrix for HDMII features EDID Management. Before the source can send video or audio signals, the source device reads the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) from the output devices connected to the Splitter. The EDID contains information about what type of audio/video data that the source can send to each output device. The 8x8 Matrix for HDMII routes multiple sources to multiple output devices.
RS-232 SERIAL CONTROL 54321 12345 9876 6789 Only Pins 2 (RX), 3 (TX), and 5 (Ground) are used on the RS-232 serial interface RS232 Settings Bits per second ................................................................................................. 19200 Data bits .................................................................................................................... 8 Parity ..............................................................................................................
IP CONFIGURATION Configuring the IP Address The 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII supports IP-based control using Telnet.
