5. System Operations
5.1 Front Panel Button Control
The Matrix Switcher can be controlled via the front panel. Please follow the basic
programing instructions below:
1. To switch one input to an output:
Example: Input 1 to Output 3
→ Press the INPUT 1 button and then the OUTPUT 3 button.
NOTE:
Default status, on first boot up this matrix assigns the IR outputs to the
corresponding HDMI input, meaning, IR out 1 is directly associated to HDMI
input 1 and so on. When you switch a HDMI input to a different output, the
corresponding IR OUT will be switched synchronously to allow the IR
commands to be sent from the select zone back through the Matrix Switcher
to the source.
2. To switch an input to several outputs:
Example: Switch Input 2 to Output 3, 4 and 5
→ Press INPUT 2 + OUTPUT 3 + OUTPUT 4 + OUTPUT 5
Note: Indicators of the pressed buttons will blink green for three times if the switch is
performed, then they will turn off. If the switch fails, the LED indicators will turn off
immediately.
AVG-CS4K-88
5.2 IR Control
5.2.1 IR Remote
Connect a 5V IR receiver to the IR Control port of the Matrix Switcher, users can
control it through the included IR remote. Here is a brief introduction to the IR
remote.
① Standby button:
Press it to enter/ exit standby mode.
② INPUTS:
Input channel selection buttons, range from 1~8.
③ OUTPUTS:
Output channel selection buttons, range from 1~8.
④ Menu buttons:
ALL: Select all outputs.
EDID management button: Enable input port
to manually capture and learn the EDID data
of output devices.
CLEAR: Withdraw an operation like switching
output channel, learning EDID data before it
comes into effect. Meanwhile, the matrix will
return to the previous status.
ENTER: Confirm operation.
By using IR & HDBaseT transmission technology, the 4K HDBaseT Matrix Switcher
has some functions as follows:
1) Control a far-end output device from local.
2) Control local input/output device remotely.
3) Control the Matrix Switcher locally/remotely.
5.2.2 Force Carrier
a) Only if the 5V IR receiver connected to the HDBaseT receiver has an IR carrier,
can the received IR signal be transferred to the IR OUT port of the Matrix
Switcher.
b) Only if the 5V IR receiver connected to the Matrix Switcher has an IR carrier, can
the received IR signal be transferred to the IR OUT port of the Matrix Switcher.
If the 5V IR receiver connected to HDBaseT receiver or the Matrix Switcher is
without an IR carrier signal, send the RS232 command “%0901.” to enter infrared
carrier enforcing mode, and then the IR signal will be enabled to the IR OUT
ports.

5.2.3 Controlling a Far-end Device from the Matrix location
Connect an 5V IR receiver to the IR IN on the Matrix Switcher. Use the IR Remote of
the far-end device to control the device locally.
Connect an 5V IR receiver with IR carrier to the IR IN port of the Matrix Switcher,
users can control a far-end output display via its IR remote locally.
In this case, the IR signal is transferred via twisted pair. Only the corresponding IR
OUT port can emit control signals to the remote display.
See the figure below:
Controlling a Far-end Device from the Matrix location
Note: The 5V IR receiver connected to IR IN must contain an IR carrier
5.2.4 Controlling a Local Device Remotely
Connect 5V IR receiver(s) to IR IN on the far-end HDBT receiver(s), and 5V IR
Emitter(s) to IR OUT port of the switcher, and use the IR Remote of local source to
control the device remotely.

5.4 TCP/IP Control
Besides IR control and RS232 control, the Matrix Switcher boasts a TCP/IP port for
IP control.
Default settings: IP: 192.168.0.178; Subnet Mast: 255.255.255.0; Gateway:
192.168.0.1; Port: 4001.
The IP & gateway can be changed to suit network requirements, the Port cannot be
changed.
Connect the Ethernet port of the control device and the TCP/IP port of the Matrix
Switcher, and set same network subnet for the 2 devices, users are then able to
control the device via the web-based GUI or TCP/IP communication software.
5.4.1 Control Modes
The Matrix Switcher can be controlled by PC without Ethernet access or PC(s) within
a LAN.
Connect a computer to the TCP/IP port of the Matrix Switcher, and set its network
subnet to the same as the Matrix Switcher’s.
Controlled by PC(s) in LAN

AVG-CS4K-88
Connect the Matrix Switcher, a router and several PCs to setup a LAN (as shown in
the following figure). Set the network subnet of the Matrix Switcher to the same as
the router’s, then PCs within the LAN are able to control the Matrix Switcher.
Follow these steps to connect the devices:
Step1. Connect the TCP/IP port of the Matrix Switcher to an Ethernet port of PC
with twisted pair.
Step2. Set the PC’s network subnet to the same as the Matrix Switcher’s. Please
remember the PC’s original network subnet.
Step3. Set the Matrix Switcher’s network subnet to the same as the router.
Step4. Set the PC’s network subnet back to the original.
Step5. Connect the Matrix Switcher and PC(s) to the router. PC(s) within the LAN
are then able to control the Matrix Switcher asynchronously.
The PC’s are now able to control the device via GUI.
5.4.2 GUI for TCP/IP control
The 4K HDBaseT Matrix Kit comes with a built-in GUI for convenient TCP/IP control.
The GUI allows users to interact with this Matrix through graphical icons and visual
indicators.
Type 192.168.0.178 in your browser, it will enter the log-in interface as shown below:
AVG-CS4K-88
There are 2 selectable usernames – admin (default password: admin) and user
(default password: user). Logging in as the administrator allows access more
configuration interfaces than a standard user. Here is a brief introduction to the
interfaces.
Main: Interface shown after logging in, provides intuitive I/O connection status and
selection. See the screenshot below:
The button matrix displays every possible connection between every input and
output, users can select the connections by clicking buttons.
Buttons 1~9 at the right-bottom corner provide quick save and recall presets.
Users: Display or modify credential settings, front panel lock, and GUI version.
AVG-CS4K-88
If modified, press Save to store the settings, or press Cancel to leave unchanged.
Interface: Set title bar label and button labels, press Save to save the settings
Configuration: Set HDCP Compliance status for every input, and manage EDID.
See the screenshot below:

settings, the modified password will be available only after rebooting) to log into the
configuration interface. Click Administration at the source menu to get to Upload
Program as shown below:
Select the desired update file and press Apply, updating will then commence.
5.5 EDID Management
The 4K HDBaseT Matrix Switcher features EDID management to maintain
compatibility between all devices. It can be controlled via EDID learning and EDID
invoking.
5.5.1 EDID learning
The included IR remote can be used to enable the Matrix Switcher to learn the EDID
of all sink devices.
One input port learns the EDID data of one output port:
Example: Input 2 learns EDID data from output 4
→Press EDID + INPUTS 2 + OUTPUTS 4 + ENTER
All input ports learn EDID data from one output port:
Example: all input ports learn EDID data from output 4
→Press: EDID + ALL + OUTPUTS 4 + ENTER
5.5.2 EDID invoking
There are six types of embedded EDID data. The chart below illustrates the
information of the embedded EDID data:
No.

Sending the command “UpgradeIntEDID[x].” via RS232 to change the embedded
EDID data, x=1~6.
5.6 Firmware Upgrade via USB
The Matrix Switcher has a USB port for firmware updates on the front panel. Follow
these steps to update the firmware:
Step1. Copy the upgrade software and the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the PC.
Step2. Connect the USB ports of the Matrix Switcher and the PC via a USB cable.
Step3. Double-click the update software icon (see as below).
It will enter the upgrade interface shown as below:
Step4. Click Connect USB.
Step5. Click Open to load the firmware file, then click Updata to start the
firmware update.
Note: To ensure communication, the COM number of the PC should be 1~9.
