• EDID contains the A/V capabilities of a display device in regards to video resolutions
and audio formats supported. This information is used by the source device to
determine the format of the A/V signal on the outputs. The GefenToolBox 6x2 Matrix
for HDMI 4K x 2K incorporates advanced EDID management to ensure compatibility
with all sources and display devices.
• The GefenToolBox 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K can detect the presence of Deep
Color (12-bit signal) automatically and will disable Deep Color EDID features across
all other outputs if any connected device or display is not capable of processing Deep
Color. This automatic behavior ensures compatibility among all output devices in a
mixed-device environment. This feature cannot be disabled.
• When powering the GefenToolBox 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K or if the EDID mode is
changed, the matrix will undergo a momentary initialization sequence. This is normal
operation and may take a few seconds.
• The best way to operate and congure this unit is to use the built-in Web interface,
which can be accessed by entering the IP address of the matrix into the address bar of
any Web browser. See the section RS-232 and IP Conguration for more information
about this feature.

Determining the Current Routing State
On the bottom-left portion of the matrix, there are two rows of six LED indicators.
The top row of LED indicators displays the routing state of Out 1. The next row displays
the routing state of Out 2. A row of numbers (1 - 6) is printed above the two rows of LED
indicators. Each LED indicator represents an input (In 1 - In 6) on the matrix. The LED
indicator for the currently selected input will glow solid green.

Routing Inputs to Outputs
To the left of each row of LED indicators, there are two push-buttons labeled Out 1
and Out 2. To change the routing state of an output, press and release the button of the
desired output to advance to the next input.
In the example below, the source connected to In 5 is currently routed to Out 2.
To change the routing state and route In 6 to Out 2, press and release the Out 2 button.
To route another source to Out 2, consecutively press and release the Out 2 button until
the desired input is selected.
Once In 6 is selected for any of the outputs, pressing the Out button again will return
to In 1.

Using the IR Remote Control Unit
The included IR remote control can also be used to switch between inputs. There are
a total of 16 buttons on the IR remote. The buttons are color-coded in groups of two.
Buttons 1 - 6 selects the desired input. Buttons A and B select the Out 1 and Out 2,
respectively. The remaining buttons are not used.
In the example, below, In 5 is routed to Out 2. Let’s change the routing state so that
In 6 is routed to Out 2:
1. Point the IR remote at the IR sensor on the top panel of the matrix.
2. The output must always be selected rst. Since we want to control the routing state
of Out 2, press button B on the IR remote control.
3. Press button 6 on the IR remote control to select In 6.
4. The LED indicator for In 6 will glow bright green, indicating that this input has been
routed to Out 2 (shown below).

Using the IR Extender
There may be situations where the IR sensor is blocked by a cabinet or other mounting
device. In this case, an IR extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) can be connected
to the IR Ext port on the matrix. The sensor on the IR extender behaves exactly like the
sensor on the top panel of the matrix. Always point the IR remote control unit at the IR
sensor.

What is Fast Switching Technology?
Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI products.
FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process, based on the HDMI
and HDCP specications.
FST provides quicker audio/video source switching and greatly improves the overall audio/
video system behavior and performance when more than one HDTV display is used in the
system setup.
FST allows connecting / disconnecting or turning ON / OFF of HDTV displays without
having these activities affect other Hi-Def sources routed to any other HDTV display in the
same system.
Fast Mode vs Slow Mode
Use fast switching mode to improve performance when connecting / disconnecting Hi-Def
sources, and powering ON / OFF HDTV displays.
Use slow mode when the source does not support multiple devices. When set to slow
switching mode, the 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K will follow the standard authentication
process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specications.
Selecting the FST Mode
1. Use a paper clip or other pointed object to press and release the recessed FST
button, to toggle between Fast and Slow modes.
2. The LED indicator will display the current FST mode.

The 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K provides the capability to switch between 2-channel and

Selecting the Audio Mode
1. Use a paper clip or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Audio

2. The LED indicator will display the current audio mode.

NOTE: In order for the audio channel mode to be selected, the
EDID switch must be set to the Int position. If the EDID switch is set
to the Ext position, then the Audio switch will have no effect on the
audio output signal. See EDID Modes for more information on using
the EDID.
NOTE: When the Audio Mode is set the 2CH, the internal EDID will
restrict the audio output to 2-channel LPCM, regardless of the audio
input format.
Operating the 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K
page | 18
The 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K features EDID Management. Before the source can
send video and/or audio to the display (sink), the source reads the EDID (Extended Display
Identication Data) from the display (sink) devices connected to the splitter. The EDID
contains information about what type of audio/video data that the source can send to each
output device. The splitter can use either the downstream EDID (from the display/sink) or
the built-in internal EDID.
Available Modes
• Internal EDID
Use this EDID mode if problems are encountered when using the external EDID.
The built-in internal EDID provides the source device with a “generic” EDID which
can be used by all display (sink) devices.
• External EDID
When set to Ext mode, EDID data will be fetched from each display (or other sink
device) that is connected to the outputs of the matrix. Once this information is
gathered, the matrix “builds” an EDID based on the highest video and audio formats
that are supported by both sink devices. This EDID is then transmitted to each source
device.
• Custom EDID
When set to Custom mode, the matrix will use a customized EDID conguration
selected by the user. For example, each input can be individually set to different
EDID modes to suit the needs of each input.
Selecting the EDID Mode
1. Use a paper clip or other pointed object to press and release the recessed EDID
button, to toggle between internal, external, and custom EDID modes.
2. The LED indicator will display the current EDID mode.

RS-232 and IP Conguration
IP / UDP Conguration
The 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K supports IP-based control using Telnet, UDP, or the builtin Web-based GUI. To set up IP control, the network settings for the 6x2 Matrix for HDMI
4K x 2K must be congured via RS-232. The default network settings for the matrix are as
follows:
Description IP Address / Port Description IP Address / Port
IP Address
192.168.1.72
UDP Port
23
Subnet
255.255.255.0
Local UDP Port
50007
Gateway
192.168.1.254
Remote UDP IP
192.168.1.255
HTTP Port
80
Remote UDP Port
50008
1. Connect an RS-232 cable from the PC to the 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4K x 2K.
Also make sure that an Ethernet cable is connected between the matrix and the
network.
2. Launch a terminal emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal) and use the RS-232
settings listed on the previous page.
3. Set the IP address for the matrix using the #sipadd command.
4. Set the subnet mask using the #snetmask command.
5. Set the gateway (router) IP address using the #sgateway 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 matrix using the #set_udp_remote_ip
command.
9. Set the UDP listening port for the matrix using the #set_udp_port command.
10. Set the UDP remote port for the matrix using the #set_udp_remote_port
command.
11. Reboot the matrix 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 matrix.
NOTE: Depending upon the network, all related IP, Telnet, and
UDP settings will need to be assigned. Consult your network
administrator to obtain the proper settings.
