STEP 1: Insert the necessary signal cards into the card slots.
STEP 2: Connect the ource device(s) (e.g. Blu-ray™ DVD) to the corresponding input ports.
STEP 3: Connect the displays to the corresponding output ports.
STEP 4: Connect the amplifier/speaker to the audio output ports.
STEP 5: Connect an IR Receiver to IR EYE to enable IR control.
STEP 6: Connect a control device (e.g. a PC) to the RS-232 port to enable serial control..
STEP 7: Connect a control device (e.g. a PC) to the TCP/IP port to enable TCP/IP control.
STEP 8: Plug the included power cord into the 100–240 VAC outlet.
NOTES:
1. When connecting to HDMI 2.0 sources, make sure the HDMI cable is compliant with HDMI 2.0 to ensure reliable transmission;
2. Connect amplifiers that can decode HDMI audio to the SPDIF ports, or there will be no output on the amplifiers.
3.4 SYSTEM APPLICATIONS

4.1 SWITCHING I/O CONNECTION
Input/output channels are recognized in double-digit, press 01–09 for channel 1–9.
1. To convert one input to an output:
Operation: “INPUT”+“OUTPUT”+“ENTER”
Example: transfer input 1 to output 5:
INPUT: 0 1 —> OUTPUT 0 5 —> ENTER
2. To convert an input to several outputs:
Operation: “INPUT” + “OUTPUT” + “OUTPUT” +… + “ENTER”
Example: Switch input 2 to output 4, 5
INPUT: 0 2 —> OUTPUT —> 0 4 0 5 —> ENTER
3. To convert an input to all outputs:
Operation: “input” + “ALL” + “ENTER”

4.2 EDID LEARNING
The Matrix Switcher features EDID management to maintain compatibility between all devices.
One input port learns the EDID data of one output port:
Operation: “EDID”+“INPUT”+“OUTPUT”+“ENTER”.
Example: Input 1 learns EDID data from output 10.
EDID —> INPUT: 0 1 —> OUTPUT: 1 0 —> ENTER
All input ports learn EDID data from one output port:
Operation: “EDID”+“ALL”+“OUTPUT”+“ENTER”

4.4 CLEAR OPERATION
Function: Clear the previous operation before pressing ENTER to enforce it. Pressing CLEAR can only erase the operations not confirmed by pressing ENTER.
Input/output channels are recognized as double-digits; press 01–09 instead of 1–9.
The input delay time between two numbers of every input and output channel must be less than 8 seconds; otherwise, the
operation will be cancelled.
 The input/output channels on the rear panel are counting from left to right, whether or not there is signal card.

CHAPTER 6: RS-232 CONTROL
The Matrix Switcher has one RS-232 port for serial port control. Connect the Matrix Switcher to the control device (e.g. a PC) with RS-232 cable and set the correct parameters. The control device can control the Matrix Switcher via designed software.
6.1 RS-232 CONTROL SOFTWARE
Installation: Copy the control software file to the computer connected with the splitter.
Uninstallation: Delete all the control software files in corresponding file path.
6.2 BASIC SETTINGS
Connect the switcher to the necessary input devices and output devices. Then, connect it with a PC installed RS-232 control software. Double-click the software icon to run this software.
Here we show an example using the software CommWatch.exe. The icon is shown next.

CHAPTER 7: TCP/IP CONTROL
The Matrix Switcher uses a TCP/IP port for IP control.
Default settings:
IP: 192.168.0.178;
Subnet Mast: 255.255.255.0;
Gate w ay : 192.16 8.0.1;
Serial Port: 4001.
IP and gateway can be changed as you need, but the Serial Port cannot be changed.
Connect the Ethernet port of control device and TCP/IP port of the Matrix Switcher, and set same network segment for the two devices. Users can control the device via web-based GUI or designed TCP/IP communication software.
7.1 CONTROL MODES
The Matrix Switcher can be controlled by a PC without Ethernet access or PC(s) within a LAN.
 Controlled by PC without Ethernet access: Connect a computer to the TCP/IP port, and set its network segment to the same as the
Matrix Switcher’s.

 Controlled by PC(s) in LAN: The switcher can be connected with a router to make up a LAN with the PC(s); this makes it able to be
controlled in a LAN. Just make sure the switcher’s network segment is the same as the router. Connect as shown in the following figure for LAN control.

FIGURE 7-2. CONNECT TO LAN
STEP 1: Connect the TCP/IP port of the Switcher to the Ethernet port of the PC with twisted pair.
STEP 2: Set the PC’s network segment to the same as the the Switcher. Remember the PC’s original network segment.
STEP 3: Set the Switcher’s network segment to the same as the router.
STEP 4: Set the PC’s network segment to the original one.
STEP 5: Connect the Switcher and PC(s) to the router. In the same LAN, each PC is able to control the Switcher asynchronously. Then it’s able to control the device via TCP/IP communication software.

The switcher can be controlled via web-based GUI. It allows users to interact with the switcher through graphical icons and visual indicators.
Access the GUI interface through any one of the following methods:
 Access through web browser: Type the default IP 192.168.0.178 in the browser at first login. The IP address also can be found via
sending “%9964.” on RS-232 control software.
