3. System Connection

3.1 System Applications

As its good performance in control and transmission, the MUH66TP-N can be widely used in computer realm, monitoring, large screen displaying, conference system, television education and bank securities institutions etc.

3.2 Usage Precautions

1) System should be installed in a clean environment and has a prop temperature and

humidity.

2) All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated and safe.

3) All devices should be connected before power on.

3.3 Connection Diagram

3.4 Connection Procedure

1) Connect HDMI sources (e.g. DVD) to HDMI inputs of the MUH66TP-N with HDMI

cables.

2) Connect auxiliary audio sources to the AUDIO IN ports with audio cables.

3) Connect HDBaseT receivers (e.g. TPHD402PR) to the HDBaseT Output ports with

twisted pair.

PTN Electronics Limited 5 www.PTN-electronics.com

4K HDBaseT 6x6 Matrix Switcher

TPHD402PR

4) Connect HDMI displays (e.g. HDTV) to HDMI outputs of the MUH66TP-N or the receivers with HDMI cables

5) Connect speakers/earphones to AUDIO output ports

6) Connect the RS232 port of control device (e.g. a PC) to the RS232 port of either

MUH66TP-N or far-end receivers. RS232 signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between MUH66TP-N and far-end receivers.

7) MUH66TP-N can collect IR signal sent by the included IR remote via its built-in IR sensor or through external IR receiver connected to the IR IN/ IR EYE/ IR ALL IN port. The IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between MUH66TP-N and far-end receivers.

8) Connect an AC 100V~240V power outlet and the MUH66TP-N with the AC power cord.

Note:

1. Connect HDBT ports of MUH66TP-N and far-end receiver with straight-through

cable.

2. Output audio is selectable via RS232 command Audio/[X]:[Y]. It’s free to select

whether analog audio or HDMI audio to output. Default is HDMI audio.

3. IR receivers connected to IR IN& IR ALL IN should be with carrier. If not, send

command %0900. or %0901.to activate native carrier mode or force carrier mode in the IR matrix launched between MUH66TP-N and far-end receivers.

3.5 Connection with TPHD402PR

MUH66TP-N boasts 6 HDBaseT output ports which support PoC solution. Connect the HDBT output ports of MUH66TP-N to HDBaseT Receivers supporting PoC (like TPHD402PR) via twisted pair. Plug a power supply to the power port of MUH66TP-N, the HDBaseT Receivers will be energized synchronously with PoC solution.

4. System Operations

4.1 Front Panel Button Control

The operation examples are showed in 2.1 Front Panel. Here we make a brief introduction to the system operations.

4.1.1 Switching I/O connection

1) To convert one input to an output:

Operation: ―input‖+―output‖+―ENTER‖ Example: input 1 to output 2

Note: In default status, the 6 IR OUT sockets correspond with 6 HDMI INPUTS. When you convert an HDMI input to an output, the corresponding IR OUT will be switched synchronously.

2) To convert an input to several outputs:

Operation: ―input‖ + ―output‖ + ―output‖ +… + ―ENTER‖ Example: Switch input 2 to output 2, 4

3) To convert an input to all outputs:

Operation: ―input‖ + ―ALL‖ + ―ENTER‖ Example: Convert input 1 to all outputs

Note: Indicators of the pressed buttons will blink green for three times if the conversion is done, then it will be off. If the conversion failed, they will be off immediately.

4.1.2 EDID Management

MUH66TP-N features EDID management to maintain compatibility between all devices. It can be controlled via EDID learning and EDID invoking.

EDID Learning (from output):

 One input port learns the EDID data of one output port

Operation: Press ―EDID‖, ―INPUTS‖+―OUTPUTS‖+―ENTER‖. Example: Input 2 learns EDID data from output 4

 All input ports learn EDID data from one output port Operation: Press ―EDID‖, ―ALL‖+―OUTPUTS‖+―ENTER‖ Example: All input ports learn EDID data from output 4

Note: Indicators of the pressed buttons will blink green for three times if the conversion is done, then it will be off. If the conversion failed, they will be off immediately.

EDID invoking:

There are six types of embedded EDID data. The chart below illustrates the detailed information of the embedded EDID data:

Format: Press and hold ―EDID‖ for 3 seconds, ―INPUTS‖+―OUTPUTS‖+―ENTER‖. Operations:  Set EDID data for one input Operation: Press ―EDID‖ (hold for 3 seconds to enter in EDID setting status),
