plug it into the power outlet. Make sure
that the power indicator LED is on.
. Connect the cables from t he source to the
input connectors and connect display
devices, such as monitors or projectors t o

cables are recommended for video cable
runs.

SET DEFAULT POWER UP INPUT
This function allows a user to define which
input will be selected at power up. To define
the default power on the input channel, while
turning ON the unit, press the desired channel
switch and hold it for approximately 2 seconds
until you hear a short beep. Turn the unit OFF
and then turn it back on again. The LED of th e
selected input should be ON. For factory
default the input is set to I NPUT 1 .
7.1.2 SWITCHER FUNCTIONS SECTION
RESET
This function allows a user to reset the
switcher without unplugging the unit. Pr ess the
RESET button and hold it for approximately 2
seconds. When you hear a beeping sound,
release the button. All LEDs on t he fr ont panel
will flash simultaneously. The current
connection of input to output will be lost and
power up input will be loaded. The user-set
defaults for SO UND and DEFAULT CHANNEL
will not be changed by the RESET function.

to essentially all of the switcher’s capabilities. It
has three sections: input select, switcher
functions, and output control.
7.1.2 INPUT SELECT SECTION
SELECTION OF INPUT
When the buttons INPUT1 through INPUT6
are pressed, the corresponding INPUT will be
selected. The LED on top of the bottom front
panel will TURN ON simultaneously to indicat e
which input has been selected. When
connected as a 1-in 6-out switcher, the outputs
are selected through the INPUT SELECT
section.

periodically. Press this button to switch to a
“no signal” condition. To resume Input Select
switching, simply press the desired INPUT or
the STEP function.
SOUND
This function allows a user to have audible
feedback when the buttons are pressed. The
factory default is set to have audible f eedback
ON through to a beep. In some situations
however, sound may be undesirable. To
disable the beeping sound, press this button
and hold it for approximately 2 seconds until a
beep is heard. After the sound is disabled, to
re-enable the sound, repeat the same
procedure.

STEP
This feature allows cycling through the inputs
one at a time. It is used to select the next input
from an ALL OFF condition. If this button is
pressed once it switches to the next input in an
increasing order. For example, if INPUT 3 is
currently selected, pressing STEP SELECT
once will switch to INPUT 4. If pressed again
INPUT 5 is selected. If INPUT 6 is already
selected, and the STEP SELECT button is
pressed once, none of the inputs will be
selected. This condition is similar to the ALL
ON function. By pressing once mor e from the
ALL OFF stage, INPUT 1 will be selected.
7.1.3 OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION
DELAY
This function enables Sync Delay Switching in
RGBHV and RGBS signals. Sync Delay allows
the ”glitch” that normally takes place when
switching between high-resolution sources to
take place off screen. When the Sync Delay
feature is enabled, the video portion of the
image (RGB signals) is disconnected before
the sync portion (H&V SYNC or CSYNC).
When connecting the input, the video portion
of the signal (RGB) is restor ed short ly after t he
incoming sync portion of the signal is
connected. This delay time is factory pre-set to
2.5 seconds. By pressing this button once, the
SYNC DELAY feature is enabled and
confirmed through the LED on top of the
button. If it is pressed once more this featur e
is disabled and the LED turns off.
VIDEO OFF
This feature allows a user to disable only the
video (RGB channels) portion of the selected
source. The sync portion (H&V, SYNC or
CSYNC) of the selected source will continue to
be sent to the display. This feature can be very
helpful when the user does not want the
display to go into a ”no display” or “no signal”
mode (e.g. some data monitors will display a
blue screen if no signal is present). To disable
the video portion of the selected input, press
the video off button once, the LED on t he top
:
:
button should light up. To enable the video
portion, press the button again and the LED
will be in an OFF position. This feature is
designed to work only with RGBHV, RGBS
and RGsB format signals. It is similar to the
ALL OFF mode except that there is only sync
signal sent to the output f or display.
7.2 RS-232 CONTROL
The
MX2226AT
connector for RS-232 communication. The
terminal block uses solder-free, screw-down
contacts, making it extremely easy to connect the
switcher to a control system or to a computer in
the field.
RS-232 Terminal Block
PIN DESCRIPTION
RX RS-232 receive
TX RS-232 transmit
GND Ground
LOOP Used to connect additional switchers in
”Loop” mode.
Terminal Block Designation
The terminal block is labeled with the proper
contact designations: Transmit (TX), Receive
(RX), and Ground (GND). Always remember that
the Transmit pin from the control system or
computer must be connected to the Receive pin
on the switcher control port.
Typically, a control system or computer will offer
RS-232 connections on a 9-pin D connector or a
DB 25-pin connector. The following are t wo typical
cable pin-out connections for RS-232 connections
from a PC. Always confirm the pin-outs for your
system to insure proper wiring.

7.3 RS-232 CONTROL COMMANDS
The standard RS-232 protocol is used to control
the switcher. Commands must be issued as
shown, in ALL CAPS and with brackets [ ] that are
included in the command string.

After processing a valid command, an [OK] str ing
will be returned, followed by a command echo. For
instance, if a command, [INP1] is sent to the
MX2226AT
as [OK] [INP1]. The only exception is that with the
[VERN] command, which is the corresponding
firmware version of the switcher, [1. 0] is returned
as feedback.
If a command is not recognized by the switcher,
an error string, [ERR], will be returned. Any
command other than the previously listed
commands will also return [ERR] feedback.
If the control system being used is not set up to,
pause for the [OK] str ing, it is important to include
a 100-millisecond delay between each command
to allow pause for the processing of the [OK]
[COMMAND] string.
The [RSET] function r equires at least one minute
of processing time. If the Sync Delay function is
used, a 2.5-second delay should be maintained
between RS-232 commands, to account for the
time required processing Sync Delay switching.
If a key is pressed on the front panel, a feedback
string is transmitted. This is done to inform a
control system that the key has been pressed.
This feature allows several switchers used
simultaneously to operate in tandem.

7.5 MASTER/SLAVE CONTROL (RS-232):
The feedback codes allow multiple
Switchers to be connected in a Master-Slave
configuration, if desired.
When the cont rol port of two units are connected
as shown below, the slave unit duplicates the
actions of the master unit. The slave unit can st ill
be controlled from its front panel or through
another RS-232 control; however this
configuration is used when multiple
units must be controlled through a single RS-232
source.

7.6 LOOP CONTROL
In some applications, it may be necessary to
switch a number of computer video sources to a
single presentation display, requiring more inputs
than are available from an individual switcher.
To create a larger switcher with more input, the
output of the previous unit can be looped to
another unit. To maintain the completeness and
availability of the incoming video signal, no more
than 3 units should be looped. Keep in mind that
the Looping Configuration will eliminate one
usable input for each looped unit. For example, if
two 6-in 1-out switchers were looped together,
there would be 11 usable inputs.
The loop control feature f orces all looped units to
select input 6 so that the incoming signal will
automatically pass through. If input from switcher
no. 1 is selected then input no. 6 is automatically
selected on switcher no. 2, so that an incoming
signal from the output of switcher no. 1 is passed
to the output of switcher no. 2.

Yes, simply use the

composite video, you may
use the red channel or you
may use the blue channel).
Since the

used as a contact closure

to any type of video, sync,
audio, or even RS-232
signals.
When the ALL O FF but t on

have user-selectable ID

sent by a control card
cannot be interpreted
individually by each switch.
If this is a required feature,
the units can be pre-set at
the factory for individual ID
codes. Please call
ALTINEX at 1-714-9902300 for details.
No, the ”Loop” feature on
this connector allows
multiple switchers to be
connected and operated as
one large switcher with
more than six inputs. For
the solution to this, see the
Master/Slave control
operations section, 7.5.
The Sync Delay feature
requires 2.5 seconds to be
executed. You must make
sure that your control
system of at least 2.5
seconds allows for the
delay between two
consecutive commands.
