3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Installation Considerations
Binary HDMatrix switchers are designed with unsurpassed technology to provide superior
performance. However, where you install the switcher can have a large eect on the
performance that you receive, and the life of the unit. Here are some guidelines to follow
when installing a B-100- HDMatrix Switcher.
• Be sure that the unit is in a well-ventilated area that provides adequate cooling.
• Do not block the cooling vents located on both sides of the unit.
• Do not place the unit on carpeting or any similar material.
• Do not install the unit near a source of heat, or in an extremely humid or wet location.
• If your installation lacks good air ow (such as solid cabinet doors or wall-mounted
racks), it may be necessary to create ventilation to allow outside air into the space.
• Allow a minimum of 3” of free air space on either side of the unit. (Does not apply to
rack mounting)
• Allow a minimum of 2” of depth behind unit to accommodate cables and connectors.
• When placing on a cabinet shelf, position the unit with all feet resting on a
solid level surface.
3.1.1 Rack Installation
The B-100-HDMATRIX can be mounted in a rack with the front or rear panel facing outward.
This allows for easy access to the connections for installations that do not require the
front panel of the unit to be accessed. When mounting the rear panel facing out, it is
recommended that an IR receiver or control system is used.

Pin out congurations for IR receivers and control systems vary. Before connecting to this
input, review this section carefully in order to match the pin outs for the HDMatrix. Before
connecting an IR Receiver or to an IR control system, verify that the HDMatrix is OFF to ensure
proper operation when connected.

3.3.2 Connecting to an IR Control System/Connecting block
When connecting to an IR control system or connecting block, the 12V DC (Sleeve) must
not be connected. Connections of this type require the use of the included Stereo to
Mono dongle or a custom cable made. A mono 3.5mm cable should not be used as it will
short out the 12 VDC to GND, and will make the connection inoperable.

4 EDID Conguration
While most HDMI sources can provide full HD, the displays used within an installation may not support
the features available from the source. In these cases, the display may not play the content being
provided by the source. It is necessary to make sure each source will provide a Video and Audio format
compatible with all displays that will view that source. This can be accomplished by managing the
EDIDs stored in the HDMatrix for each source. The stored EDID is per source, so all display locations will
see the same resolution and have the same audio format when that source is selected.
The following section explains conguring EDIDs via the IR Remote. Before conguring the EDID be
sure to refer to the source(s) and display(s) manuals for available features and resolutions for each
device.
While all EDID, congurations are available via the remote, a PC utility is also available on the HDMatrix
product pages, which can be found on the manufacturer’s website
(www.snapav.com).
When conguring EDIDs via IR, the ENTER key must be pressed within 10 seconds of the last command
in order to be processed.
Source Setup
Most sources have selections for Audio format and Video resolution that can x the output so that it
will not change based on the EDID supplied by the connected display or switch. Check each source and
conrm that the audio format and video resolution are set so that they will change based on the EDID
negotiation. Normally this is a setting called “Auto” or similar.
Display Setup
It is recommended that the Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is turned OFF in all displays when using
the HDMatrix. This will provide for proper communications of video/audio signals and allow EDIDs to
function at their optimum performance. Refer to the display’s manual for information on how to turn
this function OFF.
Verify that all displays are connected to the HDMatrix before continuing with EDID Conguration.
4.1 Basic EDID Conguration
The quickest and easiest method for conguration is to use Auto EDID. When used, the HDMatrix looks
at the EDID from each of the connected displays. It uses the lowest common denominator for video
resolution and audio format to create a new EDID , which is saved to all Inputs.
Note: Auto EDID sets audio to 2ch for all inputs regardless of the capability of the connected displays.
If multi-channel audio is desired, embedded EDIDs or Learned EDIDs will need to be used.
When to Use Auto EDID
• When all sources will be available on all displays.
• Every display in the system accepts the same video and audio resolution from the sources.
• As a rst step to conguration following up with advanced methods for particular displays and
dedicated sources.
For advanced EDID conguration when using legacy display and/or dedicated sources, use embedded
EDIDs or learning as described in the following sections:

4.2 Advanced EDID Conguration
4.2.1 Embedded EDIDs Defaults
The B-100-HDMATRIX switchers contain 8 representative ‘embedded’ EDIDs that may be
assigned to Inputs. These EDIDs dene groups of video and audio capabilities that are
useful for conguring sources in most systems.
When to Use Embedded EDIDs
• When audio and video characteristics of displays are known and compatible with
the an Embedded EDID
Explanation of Embedded EDIDs
Display Readout (Example)
EAA
A0
Video Resolution in the Embedded EDIDs is the highest resolution a connected source
will output; for example, if the source is capable of 1080P@60, it will be required by EDIDs
1-6 to provide that resolution. However, if the source is only capable of 1080i, it will output
1080i, etc. It is assumed that any display that can accept the specied Video Resolution can
also accept all standard video resolutions less than that specied.
Color Depth is the maximum number of bits used to encode color. 24bit color depth is
8bits per color (Red, Blue, Green) and 36bit color depth is 12 bits per color. When 36bit
color is used, the bandwidth increases substantially. This will dramatically reduce the
distance between the switch and the display when using an extender.
3D indicates that the source can output 3D if it is available in the content.
Audio Format indicates the maximum number of audio channels, as well as the audio
format that the source is allowed to output. For an Embedded EDID with 7.1ch Audio
Format, the source device will output the highest audio possible based on the content.
For example, if 7.1ch is not available and 5.1ch is, the output will be 5.1ch. The same holds
true if 2ch is the only audio available from the source.
Embedded EDIDs with 2Ch will limit output of the source to 2ch regardless of the formats
available in the content.
Embedded EDIDs 7 and 8 are provided for legacy displays that can only accept resolutions
up to a maximum of 1080i / 720p. The 1080i is listed rst since almost all older HD displays
can accept 1080i, but not all can accept 720p. For these two Embedded EDIDs, (7&8) the
source will output 1080i. Should 1080i not be available, the source will output 720p. There
is a possibility that 720p may not work for a very small number of displays currently in use.
If you have such a display, you will need to use a Learned EDID (see below) from the display
to store in the Input EDID of any sources that will be routed to that display.

4.2.2 Learning EDID
For more advanced EDID conguration, learning can be used to assign EDIDs. When used
,the EDID from a particular display is assigned to a particular source or all sources. This
is useful when the system contains a display that may not output the highest resolution
available from the sources.
When to Use Learned EDIDs
• An older display does not work properly with any of the embedded EDIDS.
• When the source is a PC, it may be necessary to use a learned EDID.
• Learning EDID to a Single Input.
Example: Input =1 EDID Learned from Output 4
1. Press LEARN
2. Press OUTPUT
3. Press Number key (1-8) to select the Output the
EDID is learned from

5. Press Number Key (1-8) to select the Input to
which the EDID is applied
6. Press ENTER
4.2.2.1 Learning EDID to All Inputs
Note that learning the EDID for a display to all sources is the same as using Auto EDID.

4.3 EDID Status
Once EDIDs are congured, the assigned EDID for sources can be reviewed to ensure that
the desired output is congured or for troubleshooting.
Example: Input=3
1. Press STATUS
2. Press INPUT
3. Press Number Key (1-8)to select the desired Input
4. Press ENTER
• If the second digit (the Input being queried) has a dot after it, then the rst digit is
the EDID number from the Embedded EDID table.
• If the second digit (the Input being queried) does not have a dot after it, then the
rst digit is the Output the EDID was learned from.
