BASIC OPERATION Basic switching of various source inputs to output displays can be achieved via the front panel control of the VPW-280754. Outputs are numbered 1 – 4 with an input select button to the left. Repeated pressing of the select button of a specific output scrolls numerically through the HDMI input devices connected to the matrix, with the corresponding LEDs illustrating when a device has been selected for that particular output.
IR Call-back of Matrix and Source Devices The VPW-280754 is not only a switcher and extender of multiple HDMI signals to multiple HDMI receivers located remotely, it also passes IR control signals through the IR call-back system to the matrix and HDMI sources for full, independent control of all connected inputs from output locations. Setting: To enable IR call-back press and hold OUTPUT 2 and OUTPUT 4 together for 3 seconds until the LED lights FLASH on OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2.
As each IR TX port is allocated to an individual HDMI input port, if the user is unable to establish IR control of the device, care should be taken to check firstly, that the IR emitter and HDMI input ports match (Input 1-TX1, Input2-TX2 etc.) with plugs secured in correct ports, and secondly, that the IR TX emitter sensors are firmly attached directly to the front of inputs and covering infrared sensor windows of the source devices.
RS232 Remote Control Control of the matrix is possible through RS232 using third party control systems or the dedicated COM CTL software included with your purchase (also downloadable from www.vanco1.com). RS232 and IP integration protocols are available for market leading control systems such as: RS232 Setting Should third party control be required, please see below for control system configuration and hex code input.
COM CTL After fully connecting all inputs and outputs to the matrix and installing the software, on opening the program the control window will display information from the matrix, such as messages received from the switch such as input/output details, firmware version and control commands/HEX codes that allow the system to be controlled remotely, as well as buttons used to navigate the screen.
05 IR Matrix - allows IR TX HEX commands to be input manually into the matrix by input/output port Select the IR TX port and write the IR TX HEX codes onto the device for control of that device. Select the “STATUS” button to check current settings attached to the IR port. 06 Com Connect State - Shows if the matrix is connected or disconnected to the Com Port and communication is enabled. Selection between ports is available by pressing the Com Port Select button.
LAN Control The matrix can also be controlled via LAN over a network/web browser using the supplied NET CTL software or LAN protocols from third party companies, such as Control 4. As with COM CTL, install the NET CTL software included with the matrix (also downloadable from www.vanco1.com) and run the program by double-clicking NETCTL.exe ATTENTION Use a ‘straight through’ ethernet cable for switch/router connection and a ‘cross-over’ cable for connection to a PC.
A The layout of the NET CTL controller screen includes an upper section to allocate input sources to output with the selection displayed on the left hand side. Operation is the same as COM CTL – Inputs buttons 1-4 can be clicked to be selected per Output port. Press the “REFRESH” button to update your chosen matrix settings into the left hand display and your selection to take effect.
EDID DIP Switch settings Distribution of HD signals through the matrix requires mutual communication or ‘handshake’ between source and display. If there is any disparity between the two, successful transmission becomes problematic. This matrix comes equipped with an EDID DIP switch for manual adjustment of matrix settings to encourage communication between INPUT and OUTPUT devices.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING 1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions differ, the extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HD TV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HD TV sets. 2. If you do not get audio and video see if you can use the “set-up” menu on the TV to adjust the audio settings and the video settings.
