Genesis Digital™ HDMI Matrix Switches
1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing this professional quality and compact Genesis™ Matrix
Switch from Hall Research. This User’s Manual applies to both 4x2 and 4x4 HDMI
Matrix Switchers.
As members of Hall’s Genesis™ series, these matrices are synonymous with high
performance, intuitive and powerful user interface, easy to use control command set,
and unsurpassed reliability.
The Matrix switches are HDMI 1.3 compliant (and 1.4 for color-depth and 3D), support
HDCP, deep color, multi-channel digital audio (up to 7.1 channels), and may be used
with any combination of DVI (PC) or HDMI (HDTV) sources and displays.
The Matrix uses Silicon Image chipsets capable of color depth conversion
independently for each output. This assures that the highest numbers of colors
possible are displayed on each output. In other words if some outputs are connected to
displays that only support HDMI 1.2 and others to 1.3, the unit will report as supporting
HDMI 1.3 to each input source in order to receive the deepest color depth possible.
EDID management, fast switching, low profile (only 1 RU), PRESET Save and Recall
functions, IR remote, and comprehensive front panel controls, make the Genesis
Digital matrices ideal for home theater, conference room, multimedia presentation
systems, and other similar settings.
The Matrix Switchers are optionally available with IP (LAN) port that allows control from
any browser via HTTP web server (including web enabled smart phones) for control
through other web appliances.
The web interface allows the user to assign custom names for each input, output, and
preset pattern, making control over IP a snap.
