Network Configuration using Syner-G Launch the Gefen Syner-G application. Download the application here: http://www.gefen.com/support/download.jsp Select the matrix (EXT-UHD600A-44) from the list of products. Under the Device Settings section, select either Static or DHCP from the IP Mode drop-down list. ►...
Page 23
Installation Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen. The matrix will automatically reboot and use the new network settings. Use the IP address of the matrix to access the built-in web interface or start a Telnet session. See the following for more information: ►...
There may be situations where the IR sensor is blocked by a cabinet or other mounting device. In this case, the included IR extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) can be connected to the IR In/Ext port on the rear panel of the matrix. The sensor on the IR extender behaves exactly like the sensor on the front panel of the matrix.
LED indicators 1 through 4 represent each input on the matrix. If one of these LED indicators are illuminated, then that means that the input is active. EXT-UHD600A-44 The “Off” LED indicates that the output is turned off (masked). Refer to...
For this example, we will route Input 4 to Output B. Ultra HD 6 Select output 2 by pressing button B. The LED for 2 is illuminated, indicating that Input 2 is currently routed to Output B. EXT-UHD600A-44 Ultra HD 6 Out A Out B...

Masking / Unmasking Outputs When masking outputs through the front panel, the IR remote control must be used. Outputs can also be masked by using the built-in web interface. See Routing Inputs and Masking Outputs (page 31) for more information. When an output is masked, the signal is blocked at the output.
Locking / Unlocking the Matrix To prevent an accidental routing change, the front-panel buttons on the matrix can be locked. Locking the matrix disables the front-panel controls, IR, and the built-in web interface. Point the included IR remote control toward the IR sensor on the matrix and press the Lock button.
Routing Presets Routing presets can be recalled using the IR remote control. For information on creating presets, see Routing Presets (page 34). Press the Preset button on the IR remote control. This will cause all the output buttons (A, B, C, D), on the front panel of the matrix, to start flashing. Mute Volume Mask...

The Web Interface Introduction to the Web Interface The Ultra HD 600 MHz 4x4 Matrix w/HDR and Audio De-Embedder includes a built-in web interface. We recommend that the web interface be used to control the matrix as it provides easy management of all features used by the matrix. ►...
Page 37
The Web Interface • Administrator The Administrator username provides full access to all features within the web interface. The default password for the Administrator user name is Admin. All passwords are case-sensitive. For information on changing the default password, see Configuring Network Settings (page 52).
Page 38
The Web Interface ► Tabs and Sub-tabs The web interface is organized into tabs, in the top-portion of the screen. Clicking on a tab will display a different screen. The Setup and Manage EDID tab have their own set of tabs, which we will refer to as “sub-tabs”, as shown below.
Page 39
The Web Interface • If a button is “grayed-out”, then this means that the setting is not available. This usually requires that another setting must be enabled before setting a “sub-set” of that feature. For example, note that both the Login Message on Connect buttons are dis- abled in the illustration, below: In order to change this setting, the TCP Access must be enabled.
Page 40
The Web Interface Active / Good Columns or rows that are highlighted in green, indicate that an active source or sink is connected to the that input / output. Error Although a rare occurrence, this indicates an error (e.g. HDCP, etc.) with the source or sink device.
The Web Interface Locking the Matrix Locking the matrix disables the front-panel controls, IR routing, and the built-in web interface. This is useful in preventing an accidental change to matrix settings by inadvertently pressing any of the front-panel buttons. Information Locking the Matrix Controller will also disable routing and other operations within the Web Interface.
The Web Interface Viewing the Routing Status Click the Routing tab. Locate the desired output from the rows on the left, then read across until a routing indicator (red square) is encountered. Note the column where the red square is located. Each column identifies an input and each row represents an output.
The Web Interface Routing Inputs and Masking Outputs ► Routing Inputs Click the Routing tab. Located the desired output, from the rows on the left side of the screen. Click the desired input. Use the column, with the input names, as a guide when selecting the input.
Page 44
The Web Interface ► Placing an input in the OFF state Click the box in the first column, next to the desired output. The box, in the column, will turn black, indicating that the input is “off”. The OFF is an additional input that can be selected to simulate a source that is not present.
Page 45

The Web Interface HPD Control HPD (Hot-Plug Detect) is an HDMI feature which senses if the HDMI cable is disconnected, from the source or sink device, and then re-initializes the HDMI link if necessary. Within the web interface, the HPD pulse can be sent to the selected input, and reset the HDMI connection without disconnecting any cables.
The Web Interface HDCP This feature allows HDCP content to either be passed-through or rejected on each input. Outputs can either follow the input status or can be set to always encode HDCP. Note that using the “Reject” feature, on an input, does not decrypt HDCP content. Click the Setup tab within the built-in web interface.

The Web Interface Copying EDID Data The EDID Copy tab allows an EDID to be copied from an input or output (sink device) to any input. In order to copy an EDID to an input, the input must be set to Custom - User- defined mode and then unlocked.
Page 59
The Web Interface After the input or output is selected, click the button for the corresponding input where the EDID will be copied. One or more inputs can be selected at a time. Click the Copy button. The Copy can only be pressed when both an output or input (the source) and an input (destination) are selected.
The Web Interface Getting EDID Information The EDID Info tab allows the EDID information, from an input or sink device, to be displayed. Click the Manage EDID tab within the built-in web interface. Click the EDID Info sub-tab. Select the desired input or output from the Choose EDID drop-down list. The EDID information for the selected input or output will be displayed.
The Web Interface Uploading and Downloading EDID Data The Upload / Download tab allows EDID data from an input, output, or one of the internal EDID presets, to be downloaded and saved as a file on your computer. An EDID file can also be uploaded to any (unlocked) input.
