Page 30
page | 18
When the matrix is shipped from the factory, the matrix is set to “one-to-one” routing mode. This means that Input 1 is routed to Output A, Input 2 is routed to Output B, Input 3 is routed to Output C, and so on. To change the routing state for any output, follow the instructions below.
Using the Front Panel
1. Go to the routing screen. If the routing screen is not displayed, then press and release the Back button until the routing screen is displayed.
2. Select the desired output by pressing and releasing the ▲ or ▼ buttons. These buttons will glow blue when they are pressed.
Example: We have a 4K Ultra HD source connected to In 4 (Input 4) and we want to view the source on the 4K Ultra HD display that is connected to Out G
(Output G).
The rst thing we need to do is use the ▲ or ▼ buttons until Output G is
displayed. Currently, Input 7 is routed to Output G. We need to change it to Input 4.
3. Press the Enter button.
4. An arrow cursor will be displayed next to the input. This indicates that input can now be changed.

Information
The front panel display will only show activity if a routing operation is being performed on the output that is displayed. Otherwise, the routing operation is performed in the background. To verify that the new routing state has been
executed, you can view the current routing state for that output. See Viewing
the Routing Status (page 17) for more information.

Masking Outputs
When masking outputs through the front panel, the IR remote control must be used.
Outputs can also be masked by by using the built-in web interface. See Routing Inputs and
Masking Outputs (page 73) for more information.
When an output is masked, the signal is blocked at the output. Let’s say Input 02 is routed to Output A, Output B, and Output C. If we mask Output B, then only A/V signal on Output B will be blocked. Output A and Output C will remain unaffected.
1. Start from any screen. In this example, we are starting at the routing screen.

2. Press the Mask button on the IR remote control.
3. Select the desired output by pressing one of the
Output buttons (A - H) on the top-portion of the IR
remote control.
4. The selected output will be masked immediately.

Blocking an input disables the input, preventing the source signal from reaching any of the outputs. For example, if Input 02 is routed to Output A, Output B, and Output C, then “blocking” Input 02 will prevent the A/V signal from being displayed on Output A, Output B, and Output C.
When blocking an input, the IR remote control must be used. Inputs can also be “blocked” using the built-in web interface. See Routing Inputs and Masking Outputs (page 73) for more information.
1. Starting from any screen, press the button of the output (Local, A - H), on the top-portion of the IR remote control, where the Input is routed.
For example, if we want to “block” Input 3, and Input 3 is routed to Output H, then we would press the H button.
5. To “unblock” an input, press the desired Output button (A - H) then select an input from the Input buttons, located at the bottom-portion of the IR remote control.
2. Press the Off button on the IR remote control.
3. The selected input will be turned “off” immediately.
4. The front-panel display will show the change:
In order for an input, on the matrix, to be turned “off”, a source device must be connected to the input.

Introduction to the Web Interface
The 4K Ultra HD 8x8 Matrix for HDMI w/ HDCP 2.2 includes a built-in web interface. We recommend that the web interface be used to control the matrix as it provides easy management of all features used by the matrix.
► Logging In
1. Launch your favorite web browser.
2. In the address bar, type the IP address of the matrix.
3. The login page will be displayed.
4. Select the user from the Username drop-down list.
• Operator The Operator username provides restricted access to the web interface. This username allows access to both the Routing and Status tabs, locking / unlocking and powering on / off the matrix.
The default password for the Operator user name is Operator. All passwords are case-sensitive. For information on changing the default password, see Conguring Network Settings (page 92).
The Web Interface
Basic OperationBasic Operation

Basic OperationBasic Operation
The Web Interface
• Administrator The Administrator username provides full access to all features within the web interface.
The default password for the Administrator user name is Admin. All passwords are case-sensitive. For information on changing the default password, see Conguring Network Settings (page 92).
5. Enter the password for the selected username.
6. Click the Login button.
7. Ater a few moments, the Routing tab will be displayed.
► Administrator vs Operator
As mentioned earlier, logging in as Operator provides restricted access to many of the available features within the web interface. This is summarized in the table below:
Administrator Operator
• Access to all features • Access to Routing and Status tabs, only.
• No access to the Preset Edit button under the Routing tab.

Basic OperationBasic Operation
The Web Interface
► Tabs and Sub-tabs
The web interface is organized into tabs, in the top-portion of the screen. Clicking on a tab will display a different screen.
The Setup and Manage EDID tab have their own set of tabs, which we will refer to as “sub-tabs”, as shown below.
► Buttons
Several screen contain buttons which allow the selection of a particular mode or setting. Click the button for the desired setting. Buttons that are red represent a setting that is “turned on”. If the button is pale-yellow, then the feature is “turned off”:
• Feature is “turned on”
• Feature is “turned off”

• If a button is pale-yellow or pale-red (disabled), then this means that the setting is not available. This usually requires that another setting must be enabled before setting a “sub-set” of that feature.
For example, note that both the Remote UDP Access button and the UDP Port eld are disabled in the illustration, below:
In order to change either of these settings, UDP Access must be enabled.
After clicking the Enable button, next to UDP Access, the button turns red and
reads “Enabled.” Since UDP Access is now enabled, we can now enable or disable Remote UDP Access and/or change the UDP Port number:
► Legend
The legend, near the bottom-right corner of the screen, denes the colors used to
indicate the status of an input or output:

Switch Audio / Video A dark blue square indicates which inputs are routed to which outputs. Although not illustrated in the legend, a cyan-colored square indicates that the
input and output are not routed to one another. See Routing Inputs and Masking
Outputs (page 73) for more information.
Active An input or output name, which is highlighted in green, indicates that an active source or sink is connected to the representative input / output. of an active source or sink.
Inactive Indicates the absence of an source or sink device on that input or output.
Error
Although a rare occurrence, this indicates an error (e.g. HDCP, etc.) with the
source or sink device. These rows or columns are highlighted in amber.

Routing Inputs and Masking Outputs
► Routing Inputs
1. Click the Routing tab.
2. Located the desired output, from the left side of the screen. For this example,
we will select Output C.
3. Move the mouse horizontally, within the selected output row. As the mouse
moves, the current output row and input column will be highlighted in yellow:
4. Click the desired input. Use the column, with the input names, as a guide when
selecting the input. For this example, we will select Input 05.
5. The new routing state will be applied immediately.
6. A routing indicator (dark blue square) will appear at the intersection of the row
(output) and column (input) of the current routing state:
Refer to the next page for an illustration.

7. To “turn-off” an input, click the dark-gray square in the same row where the
routing indicator for the input is located. In the example, above, Input 05 is routed to Output C. The routing indicator for Input 05 is located in the same row as Output C. Therefore, we need to click the dark square, next to Output C.
When an input is “off”, the gray square will turn black, as shown:
8. To “turn-on” the input, click the desired input within the same row. Once an input
is selected, the black box will disappear indicating that the input is active.

► Masking Outputs
1. Click the Routing tab.
2. Mask the desired output by clicking the Mask button. The Mask button will
turn red, indicating that the selected output is masked.
3. To unmask the output, click the Mask button again. The button will turn black.
► Masking Outputs vs Turning-off Inputs
It is important to distinguish between “masking” an output and “turning off” and input:
• Turning-off an input
When an input is “turned-off”, the signal is “blocked” at the source. This has the effect of “masking” all outputs to which each input is routed. For example, if Input 02 is routed to Output A, Output B, and Output C, then “turning-off”
Input 02 will prevent the A/V signal from being displayed on Output A, Output B, and Output C.
• Masking (output)
When an output is masked, the signal is “blocked” at the output. Let’s say Input 02 is routed to Output A, Output B, and Output C. If we mask Output B, then only A/V signal on Output B will be blocked. Output A and Output C will remain unaffected.
