  • Page 7: Operation Of The Edid Management

    Before connection, please read the command or relevant demand in the user manual care- fully In some cases, maybe there is balanced in source signal end but unbalanced in the destination end If in a nonstandard case, it is done to connect balanced for the balanced end and unbalanced for unbalanced end But if in a standard one, the converter must be used to switch the signals as the same, balanced or unbalanced Operation of the EDID management MXHD matrix series switchers are manufactured with full EDID management built-in the database The EDID management can automatically handshake, or through manual exchange and factory restore EDID Automatic Handshake: • The MXDV matrix switcher has built-in EDID data, which can communicate with the displays and video source automatically When the displays or video sources are connected to the MXDV matrix switcher, they will share the EDID/DDC information with the matrix switcher • The MXHD1616A EDID database includes most popular displaying data, but not all the dis play data because of the capability and firmware limitation So, we can manually refresh the EDID data to update the EDID database EDID Handshake Priority: • The EDID refresh ports have the priority grade, ranging from output 1 to output 8 in priority order It means the output 1 is the most prior to exchange the EDID data, and then the output 2 is the second prior to exchange the EDID data And, the output 8 is the least prior • When the user carries the EDID erase/refresh function, it will detect the output priority and exchange the EDID data with the available most prior output port...
  • Page 8: Operation Of The Control Panel

    EDID Management by RS232 Commands • When you need to refresh the EDID data of the MXHD1616A matrix switcher, we can manually exchange the EDID data by sending the RS232 command “EDIDMOn ” (Please notice the text- transform, and the dot in behind ) • When the “EDIDMOn ” is sent, the MXHD1616A matrix switcher will copy the EDID data from the most prior output port It means the MXHD1616A will erase the old EDID data, and fully copy the EDID data from the displayer, which is connected to the most prior output port • When we send the “EDIDMInit ” to the MXHD1616A matrix switcher, it will recover the factory default EDID data • When the “EDIDMOn ” or “EDIDMInit ” is correctly sent, all the connected displayers will be blank for 2~3 seconds and recover again And, the MXHD1616A matrix switcher will send out a RS232 feedback command “EDIDMOn ” or “EDIDMInit ” • If all these symbols works, it means the action is taken EDID Management by Buttons • When you need to recover the ex-factory default EDID data set, we can send the RS232 command or press the buttons of the front panel/IR remote to make it work • Keep pressing the button “<-” for 30 seconds, all the LED of “<-” will be on for 10 seconds It enters the EDID setting status • And, pressing “Input 2” button and “Undo” button All the outputs will be blank for 3 seconds, to...

  • Page 12 Note: 1 [x1], [x2], [x3] and [x4] are the symbols of input or output channels ranged according to the model of the matrix switcher If the symbols exceed the effective range, it would be taken as a wrong command 2 In above commands, “[”and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to be typed in actual operation 3 Please remember to end the commands with the ending symbols “ ” and “;” Detail Examples: 1. Transfer signals from an input channel to all output channels: [x1] All. Example: To transfer signals from the input channel No 3 to all output channels Run Command: “3All ” 2. Transfer all input signals to the corresponding output channels respectively: All#. Example: If this command is carried out on an MVG1616-A matrix switcher, the status of it will be: 1->1, 2->2, 3->3, 4->4…16->16 3.

    Troubleshooting & Maintenance 1) When the output image in the destination device connected to the HDMI Matrix (MXHD1616A) has ghost image, such as the projector output with ghost image, please check the projector’s setting or try another high quality HDMI cord 2) When there is a color loss or no video signal output, please make sure the cable connection is proper and tight No kinks and the cable quality is good 3) When the remote controller doesn’t works: A Maybe the battery is run out of, please change a new one B Maybe the controller is broken, please ask the dealer to fix it 4) When user cannot control the HDMI Matrix by computer through its COM port, please check the COM port number in the software and make sure the COM port is in good condition 5) If there is not “beep” sound when switching the I/O signal, please make sure the beeper is switched- on If so, the beeper inside the matrix may be broken Please send it to the dealer for fixing 6) When switching, the beeper beeps but without any output image: A Check with oscilloscope or multi-meter if there is any signal at the input end If there is no signal input, it may be the input connection cord broken or the connectors loosen B Check with oscilloscope or multi-meter if there is any signal at the output end If there is no signal output, it may be the output connection cord broken or the connectors loosen C Please make sure the destination device is exactly on the controlled output channel...
