The Web Interface Introduction to the Web Interface The Ultra HD 600 MHz 8x8 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 81
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 95).
Page 82
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 83
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 disabled in the illustration, below: In order to change these particular settings, TCP Access must be enabled.
Page 84
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 88
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 89
The Web Interface ► Masking Outputs Click the Routing tab. Mask the desired output by clicking the Mask button. The Mask button will turn red, indicating that the selected output is masked. To unmask the output, click the Mask button again. The button will turn gray. page | 77...
The Web Interface Routing Presets ► Creating / Editing a Preset Click the Routing tab. Under the Presets section, click the Preset Edit button. The preset buttons will begin to flash and the Preset Edit button will read Choose One. page | 78...
Page 91
The Web Interface Click the desired preset to edit. The selected preset will be highlighted. In this example, we will select Preset 6. Select the desired routing state for each input/output. See Routing Inputs and Masking Outputs (page 75), if necessary. The preset selections for the selected preset, will be indicated by a green square, as shown below.
Page 92
The Web Interface After the desired routing states, for input/output have been assigned, provide a name for the preset in the Preset Name field. ► To clear the preset selections for the current preset, click the Clear All button. ► To use the current routing state as the preset selection, click the Select Current button.
The Web Interface Input and Output Status Provides video and audio information for all inputs and outputs. Click the Status tab within the built-in web interface. Information on each input is listed in the top portion of the screen. Information on each output is listed in the bottom portion of the screen. Input section Output section The table below outlines the information that is available for each section:...
The Web Interface Changing Input and Output Names By default, the names of each output are Output A - Output D. The names of each input are Input 1 - Input 4. Each of these names can be changed, as desired, to suit the type of device that is connected to the input or output.
The Web Interface Audio The Audio tab handles how audio is output from the matrix. Click the Setup tab within the built-in web interface. Click the Audio sub-tab. Click either Fixed or Variable for each output. • Fixed In this mode, the output volume is set to 100 and variable adjustment is disabled. •...
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.
Page 98
The Web Interface For outputs, select the desired button next to the output. ► Follow Input - Click this button to have the output follow the setting used on the input. Click the Follow All button to set all outputs to Follow Input. ►...
The Web Interface Setting the EDID Mode The EDID Mode tab allows the desired EDID mode (internal preset, external, or custom) to be set for each input. Click the Manage EDID tab within the built-in web interface. Click the EDID Mode sub-tab. Select the desired EDID mode for each input using the drop-down list.
Page 100
The Web Interface ► Using a Custom EDID The Custom - User-defined setting is used to store a custom EDID in the selected input. To use a custom EDID, follow the instructions below: Select Custom - User-defined from the drop-down list of the desired input. Copy or upload an EDID to the input that is using the Custom mode.
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 102
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.
Page 105
The Web Interface The following dialog will be displayed: Click the Save File button to save the EDID file to your computer. • Mac OS X The file will automatically be saved under Macintosh HD\Users\[username]\Downloads. • Windows OS The file will be saved under C:\Users\[username]\Downloads.
