Remote Control Description
OUTPUT AND INPUT SELECTION
A Selects the zone OUTPUT (1 - 4) you wish to
change the source on
B Selects the source INPUT (1 - 4) you wish to
change on the selected zone
EXAMPLE: To switch source 2 to zone 4 you would
press Ouput 4 (A) followed by pressing Input 2 (B ).
ALL button: The all button selects all the inputs or
outputs in its corresponding box. Example: (The “All”
button in the Output box selects all the zones so all
zones will change to what source input is selected next)
PTP: This button will align all zone outputs with the like
numbered source inputs. Example: Input 1 to output 1,
input 2 to output 2, etc
NOTE: BUT TON PRESS SEQUENCE MUST BE
FINISHED IN 5 SECONDS, OTHERWISE THE
OPERATION IS DISCARDED
EDID SET UP
The matrix provides a comprehensive range of EDID
settings. Below are three examples of how to deploy the
desired EDID setting when using the supplied remote.
A. Fix EDID to an Input or ALL inputs: Press the
desired video resolution button (1080I / 1080P / 3D
/ 4K), then select the desired audio format (2.0CH
/ 5.1CH / 7.1CH), then select the source input you
want this EDID information allocated to by pressing
the INPUT 1 – 4 or the ALL button
B. Copy EDID of Output-X to an Input or ALL: Press
the COPY button then select the OUTPUT you wish
to copy the EDID information from, then select
the source input you want to copy this EDID to by
selecting the INPUT 1-4 or the ALL button.
C. User defined EDID to an Input or ALL inputs:
Press USER1 / USER2 button then select the
source you wish to assign this EDID to by selecting
INPUT 1-4 or the ALL button

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the source to find
out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display, from this information the source will discover what the best audio and video
resolutions need to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure, issues do arise when multiple
displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the sources and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand shaking
thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of EDID settings can be achieved using the product dip-switches on the XT-MX44-4K18G. EDID dip-switch settings are shown below.
Note: You must power cycle the product after making EDID changes. For some sources it may be necessary to power cycle the source after EDID
changes have been made for the source to update its video & audio output settings.

Audio Breakout
The matrix includes audio breakout from the selected HDMI input to associated analogue L/R audio and coaxial digital outputs.
Extracted audio will be concurrent with the corresponding HDMI video output.
1. Coaxial digital output
2. Analogue fixed line level output 3.5mm stereo jack. Note:
supports 2 channel PCM only
