4. Control Operations

4.1. Front Panel Button control

Users can control Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 rapidly and directly with its front panel buttons. To switch AV signal, please operate the buttons under the following format:

Format: “Input Channel” + “AV” +“Output Channel”+“Enter”

Note:

1) “Input Channel”: Fill with the number of input channel to be controlled,

2) “Output Channel”: Fill with the number of output channels to be controlled. Press

“All” to select all the outputs.

3) Use “,” button to separate multiple I/O channels, and press “ENTER” button to

confirm the operation.

4) The input/output channels on the rear panel are counting from left to right, top to

bottom.

5) The input delay time between two numbers of every input& output channel must be

less than 5 seconds; otherwise the operation will be cancelled.

Example:

1. To transfer input 1 to output 11, press input “1”, output “1” “1” and “Enter”.

2. To transfer signals from input 1 to all output channels, press buttons in this order:

“1”, “All”.

Description

Operation

UNDO

return to the previous status

Status 1: Input 6 -> output 6 Press input “6” + “AV”+ output 4 to change

the connection. Press “Undo” to return to Status 1.



Backspace the last operation

If you press buttons “1”, “AV”, “2”, “” in order, then “2” will be canceled.

THROUGH

Get straight I/O connection, e.g. input 1-> output 1, input 2-> output

Format: “Input Channel”+”Through” If you press buttons “ALL”, “THROUGH” in

order, then the result will be like input 1 output 1, input 2output 2, input 3output 3 … input 16output 16.

4.2. IR Remote control

With the IR remote, Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 could be controlled remotely. As

Page 22

4.3. RS232 Control

4.3.1. Connection of RS232 Communication Port

Except the front control panel and IR remote, Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 can be controlled by far-end control system or through the Ethernet control via the RS-232 communication port. This RS-232 communication port is a female 9- D connector. The definition of its pin layout is shown in the table below.

When Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 connects to the RS232 port of a computer with control software, users can control it by that computer. To control the switcher, users need to use RS232 control software.

4.3.2. RS232 Communication Commands

With this command system, users are able to control and operate the Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 with RS232 software remotely.

Note:

1. Please disconnect all the twisted pairs before sending command

EDIDUpgrade[X].

2. In the commands, “[”and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to be

typed in actual operation.

3. Please remember to end the commands with the ending symbols “.” or “;”.

4. Type the command carefully, it is case-sensitive.

5. Commands pertaining to EDID only avails for signal cards that support EDID

management.

6. Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 boasts 6 in-built EDID data, the chart below

Examples:

1、 Transfer signals from an input channel to all output channels: [x]All.

Example: Send “3All.” to transfer signals from the input 3 to all output channels.

2、 Transfer all input signals to corresponding output channels respectively: All#.

Example: If this command is carried out, the status of matrix will be: 1->1, 2->2, 3->3, 4->4…… 8->8….

3、 Switch off all the output channels: All$.

Example: After running this command, there will be no signals on all the outputs.

4、 Switch off the detail feedback command from the COM port: /:MessageOff;

But, it will leave the “switch OK” as the feedback, when you switch the matrix.

5、 Switch on the detail feedback command from the COM port: /:MessageOn;

It will show the detail switch information when it switch. Example: when switch 1->2, it will feedback “AV01 to 02”.

6、 Transfer signals from an input channel to corresponding output channel: [x]#.

Example: “5#.” to transfer signals from the input 5 to the output 5.

7、Switch off an output channel: [x]$.

Example: “5$.” to switch off the output 5.

8、Switch signal: [x1] B[x2].

Example: “12B12,13,15.” to transfer signal from the input 12 to output 12,13,15.

9、Inquire the input channel to the output channel [x]: Status[x].

Example: Send “Status3.” to inquire the input channel to the output 3.

10、Inquire the input channel to the output channels one by one: Status.

Example: “Status.” to inquire the input channel to the output channels one by one.

11、Save the present operation to the preset command [Y]: Save[Y].

Example: “Save7.” to save the present operation to the preset command No.7.

12、Recall the preset command [Y]: Recall[Y].

Example: “Recall5.” to recall the preset command No.5.

13、Clear the preset command [Y]: Clear[Y]. Example: “Clear5.” to clear the preset command No.5. 14、EDID management command:. EDIDM[X]B[Y].

Example: “EDIDM5B3.” to enable input 3 to learn the EDID data of output 5.

15、Command for signal cards: USER/[Y]/[X]*****.

Example: “USER/I/7:0623%;” to set the input 7 to support YPbPr signal, the card is plugged in the second input slot of the matrix.

4.4. TCP/IP Control (Optional)

4.4.1. Control Modes

TCP/IP default settings: IP is 192.168.0.178, Gateway is 192.168.0.1, and Serial Port is 4001. IP & Gateway can be changed as you need, Serial Port cannot be changed.

 Controlled by Single PC Connect a computer to the TCP/IP port of the Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16, and set its network segment to the same as the default IP of the Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 (192.168.0.178).

 Controlled by PC(s) in LAN The Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 can be connected with a router to make up a LAN

with the PC(s), this make it able to be controlled in a LAN. When control, just make sure the Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16’s network segment is the same with the router. Please connect as the following figure for LAN control.

Same network segment as the switcher

Page 33

Modular Matrix Switcher 32x32

Comm-Tec Srl 32 www.comm-tec.it

Step1. Connect the TCP/IP port of the Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 to Ethernet

port of PC with twisted pair.

Step2. Set the PC’s network segment to the same as the Modular Matrix Switcher

16x16. Do please remember the PC’s original network segment.

Step3. Set the Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16’s network segment to the same as the

router.

Step4. Set the PC’s network segment to the original one. Step5. Connect the Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 and PC(s) to the router. In the

same LAN, each PC is able to control the Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 asynchronously.

Then it’s able to control the device via a TCP/IP communication software.

4.4.2. Control Modular Matrix Switcher 16x16 via TCP/IP communication

software

Problems

Causes

Solutions

Output image with ghost Bad quality of the

connecting cable

Try another high quality cable

Impropriate image setting of the displayer

Adjust corresponding image settings

Output image with color losing or no video signal output

Fail connection

Reconnect the displayer and the matrix

No output image when switching

No signal at the input / output end

Check with oscilloscope or multimeter if there is any signal at the input/ output end.

Fail or loose connection

Make sure the connection is good

The switcher is broken

Send it to authorized dealer for repairing.

IR remote does not work Run out of battery

Change for another battery

IR remote is broken

Send it to authorized dealer for repairing.

POWER indicator doesn’t work or no respond to any operation

Fail connection of power cord.

Make sure the power cord connection is good.

EDID management does not work normally

The HDMI cable is broken at the output end.

Change for another HDMI cable which is in good working condition.

There is a blank screen on the display when switching

The display does not support the resolution of the video source. Switch again.

Manage the EDID data manually to make the resolution of the video source automatically
