8. ADVANCED SETUP USING THE CONFIGURATION UTILITY
There are several setup options available that can only be modified using the matrix switcher Configuration Utility.
These items are defaulted to the most common settings that should work in most installations.
The Configuration Utility and manual are available for download on the Support tab of the
B-520-MTRX-230-8x8 / B-520-MTRX-230-6x4+2 product page at www.SnapAV.com. Download and run the
utility to gain access to these settings connecting to the matrix and clicking Other Settings.
8.1. IR Source Routing
Default Setting:
The IR Source Routing feature allows discrete control of the source selected from any connected HDBaseT
output using an IR receiver plugged into the B-520-RX-230-IR. This setting is only relevant when using in-room
IR remotes to control sources connected to the matrix switcher. When set to Yes, the matrix will route commands
from the HDBaseT receiver to the IR Output to Source port that matches the source input number currently
selected on that output.
When set to No, commands will be sent only out of the IR Output to Source port that matches the HDBaseT
Receiver number from which it originated.
8.2. IR Front Panel IR Enable
Default Setting:
This setting controls the operation of the front panel IR receiver built into the
B-520-MTRX-230-8x8 / B-520-MTRX-230-6x4+2. This should be disabled if using the SYSTEM IR IN port to
control the matrix switcher via IR, or if the matrix switcher is missing or receiving extra commands during use
(stray IR interfering with the port).
8.3. Matrix Control from Room Enable
Default Setting:
The Matrix Control From Room Enable option allows Matrix Control IR commands to be sent from the room as if
a source were being controlled. Turn this option off if the matrix switcher is being controlled by any other method
than in-room IR.
Note: To use Matrix Control From Room, it is recommended to program a universal remote control with discrete
commands for matrix control to keep in each zone, rather than using the included IR remote or commands learned
from it. Go to the Support tab of the B-520-MTRX-230-8x8 / B-520-MTRX-230-6x4+2 product page at
www.SnapAV.com to see and download the available IR codes and drivers for IR remote programming.
8.4. Front Panel Power Button Active
Default Setting:
The front panel power button can be disabled if desired. Disable the button when the matrix switcher is
programmed to be on at all times or in jobs where turning off the matrix from the switcher can cause issues with
control.
