Selecting a Window Conguration
The 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI provides the ability to display four Hi-Def
sources on one HD display. In addition, the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI
allows the creation of an innite number of window congurations using the built-in Web
interface. Windows can be individually scaled, resized, and positioned within any area of
the display area.
The 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI comes with 5 default window presets.
An illustration of each of these window presets is displayed above each of the Default
preset buttons on the front panel:
These presets can be selected from the top-row of buttons on the front panel.
The button for the currently selected window conguration will turn blue and remain
illuminated as long as the preset is selected.
The bottom row of buttons are used to store and recall custom presets. Custom presets
are created and saved using the built-in Web interface. See the Presets section of the Web
interface for more information.
When the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI is shipped from the factory, the
Default 2 preset will be automatically loaded when the unit is powered-ON.

Single Window Nomenclature
The 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI can display up to four sources on one
display. When multiple sources are displayed on the screen, we refer to each source as a
window. In general terms, a window is dened as an input. However, before we discuss
multiple windows, we will dene the operation of a single window.
In our example, below, we have four Hi-Def sources connected to the 4x1 Multiview
Seamless Switcher for HDMI. Each source is represented by a colored rectangle.
When the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI is shipped from the factory,
the Default 2 preset will automatically be loaded when the unit is powered ON:
Now, let’s look at one of the default presets that displays a single-window output:
1. Press the Default 1 button on the front panel.

The Default 1 preset uses Window A:
To switch to the Default 1 single-window conguration using the IR remote control,
press the Default Preset 1 button.
2. The image displayed on the output will be dictated by the current routing state of the
matrix. In this example, the source that is connected to Input 2 is displayed.

illuminated until another Window button is pressed.
In single-window mode, each Window button (A - D) on the front panel represents
one of the four inputs.
3. Try pressing each of the Window buttons on the front panel and observe how the
image on the display changes.
The included IR remote control can also be used to switch between Windows by
pressing the Window buttons.

Changing the Routing State (Single Window)
There are two methods for performing this operation: 1) Select a different Window button
with a different input . 2) Change the routing state for the current output. We will cover
both methods.
For this example, we want to view the source connected to Input 3.
Method 1:
1. Press Window C on the front panel.
If using the IR remote control, press the Window 3 button.
Press Window C
Input 3 selected

2. The numbers in each of the colored boxes, below, represent the currently select input
for each Window. Since Input 3 has already been routed to Window C, the source
connected to Input 3 will be displayed:
Method 2:
1. Press the button for Window B on the front panel to select it.
2. Press the button for Window B again to select Input 3.
If using the IR remote control, press the Window 2 button, then press the In 3 button.
3. Input 3 has now been routed to Window B. Since Window B is the active output,
the source connected to Input 3 will be displayed:
Note that the Window name is the same. The only difference is that the input has
changed.

Multiple Window Nomenclature
To recap, the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI can display up to four sources on
one display. When multiple sources are displayed on the screen, we refer to each source
as a window. In general terms, a window is dened as an input. It is recommended that
the Single Window Nomenclature section be read before continuing.
When working with a single window, we saw how we could switch inputs, allowing us to
view different sources, one at a time.
In order for the switcher to display more than one window at a time, the switcher identies
each window using an alphabetic character.
Default 1 preset is identied as Window B.
Default 2 preset is identied as follows:
Each window is also assigned a default input,
which is notated by a numeral from 1 to 4.
Window A will use Input 1, Window B will use
Input 2, and so on. Of course, any input
can be assigned to any window.
Another example is the Default 3 window preset:
Although the arrangement of each window--or the input to each window--can be different,
the window ID (A - D) does not change.
ChapterOperating the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI
Window Basics
NOTE: The 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI is designed
to be used as a 2x2 video wall. 4x1 rows and 1x4 columns are not
supported.
Page 30

When using multiple windows, multiple window buttons will active. We will continue with
the last example in the Single Window Nomenclature section to the difference.
In the illustration, below, Window C has been selected. Input 3 is routed to Window C.
Therefore, the source connected to Input 3 is displayed.
1. Press the Default 2 button. This will create a basic 2x2 multi-window display.

page | 21
2. The image on the output will be equally divided into four windows. This window
arrangement is used by Default Preset 2.
3. Now, let’s change the routing state so that the source connected to Input 2 covers the
top half of the screen.
If we look at our window template for Default 2, we can see that routing Input 2 to
Window A will accomplish this task.

Masking / Unmasking Outputs
“Masking” prevents a window from displaying the signal from the source device. Instead
of powering-down or disconnecting the input device, individual or multiple outputs can be
masked. Masking can be used with single window and multiple-window congurations.
Using the Front Panel Buttons

Window Priority
The built-in Web interface allows windows to be resized and arranged in any order.
Windows can also be placed above or below one another. The ordering of overlapping
objects in two-dimensional space is sometimes referred to as the z-order.
In the illustration above, the red window is set to priority 1 and will be displayed on top of
all other windows. Setting a window to priority 4 (the blue window) will move the window
to the bottom-most position. The smaller the number, the higher priority. Multiple windows
cannot share the same priority.
Note that the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI does not allow a window to
have a transparency property. This is only used by the diagram, above, to illustrate how
windows can be placed behind or in front or one another.

Video Effects
When using single windows, the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI provides three
unique post-production video effects: Fade, Chroma Key, and Mirror.
Using Fade
The fade effect applies a one-second cross-dissolve transition when switching between
windows that are receiving video from different sources. This feature, as with all video
effects, is only available when viewing a single window output.
1. Access the Web interface for the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI.
See the section Web Interface for more information.
2. Selecting the Routing tab.
3. Click the radio button next to the Default 1 preset.
4. Click to place a check mark in the Fade check box.
5. To see the fade effect, switch between outputs using the IR remote control or the
window buttons on the front panel.
0 sec 1 sec
NOTE: Video effects are only applicable to single-window
applications. Multiple-window effects are not supported.

Chapter
Using Chroma Key
The chroma key effect, also referred to as “color-keying”, is a post-production technique
for layering two images or video signals together. The rst layer involves lming a subject
in front of a solid color background. The second layer serves as the background for the
nal composite image. By combining the two images together and removing (“keying”) the
background color from the rst layer, the subject will appear in front of the background from
the second layer. When chroma-keying a live feed (e.g. a meteorologist standing in front of
a weather map), a “traveling matte” is created.
1. Access the Web interface for the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher for HDMI.
See the section Web Interface for more information.
2. Selecting the Routing tab.
3. Click the radio button next to the Default 1 preset.
4. Route the image with the subject and solid color background to Window B.
5. Route the background image to Window B.
6. Click to place a check mark in the Chroma Key check box.

Because shadows and other lighting imperfections are always present when
photographing a subject against a solid color background, the background will
never be a pure RGB value (as shown below). For this reason, a color range with
minimum and maximum values needs to be specied.
7. Set the Min RGB values for the color to be “keyed”.
8. Set the Max RGB values for the color to be “keyed”.
9. The nal composite will be displayed on Window A.

There may be situations where the IR sensor is blocked by a cabinet or other mounting
device. In this case, the included IR extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) can be
connected to the IR Ext port on the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher. The sensor on the
IR extender behaves exactly like the sensor on the front panel of the switcher. Always point
the IR remote control unit in the direction of the IR sensor.

settings listed on the previous page.
3. Set the IP address for the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher using the #set_ipadd
command.
4. Set the subnet mask using the #set_netmask command.
5. Set the gateway (router) IP address using the #set_gateway command.
6. Set the Telnet listening port using the #set_telnet_port command.
7. Set the HTTP listening port using the #set_http_port command.
8. Set the UDP remote IP address for the switcher using the #set_udp_remote_ip
command.
9. Set the UDP listening port for the switcher using the #set_udp_port command.
10. Set the UDP remote port for the switcher using the #set_udp_remote_port
command.
11. Reboot the switcher to apply all changes, then type the IP address that was
specied in step 3, in a Web browser to access the Web GUI. Use the same IP
address to Telnet to the switcher.
