AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT The AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT is a true 4x4 HDMI/HDBaseT matrix switch. This unit includes 4 HDMI inputs, and 4 HDMI/HDBaseT output blocks. These output blocks include a HDBaseT and HDMI port, these ports are mirrored, and both are active. This Matrix supports HDMI 2.0(a/b), HDCP 2.2, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18 Gbps bandwidth. We are able to pass 18Gbps through category cable by using the new HDBaseT technology we have developed called "ICT", learn more about ICT...

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Audio Binding Setup: The AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT can be configured to extract audio in 3 ways • Bind to OUTPUT(Default) (See page 10) • Bind to INPUT (See page 10) • Matrix (See page 10) To Set: Press and hold (3 sec) BYPASS from the audio settings (top right of machine).
AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Audio Delay Control: The AC-MX88/44-AUHD has an Audio Delay feature built-in. Audio Delay is set on the extracted audio OUTPUT (Digital and Analog) of the switch and each can have separate settings. The Audio Delay has 4 controls: • UP (Increase Delay) •...
AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Ex-Audio Matrix Mode: This allows the user to set a binded audio setting or set the extracted audio to Matrix. The options are: Bind to Input - The extracted audio port is always fixed to a specific input. For example, when a source is plugged into INPUT 1, OUTPUT 1 will always have the audio signal from INPUT 1.
AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT EDID Management: This matrix has 29 factory defined EDID settings. It also has 3 user defined EDID memories. The user EDID memories are independent to each input and can be set differently. The user defined EDID can be uploaded using the free PC Control software or RS-232. In addition, you can choose to read the EDID from the desired output and the captured EDID will automatically store and overwrite the EDID in "USER EDID 1"...

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Display IP Data: In order to see the current IP settings, press and hold (for 3 seconds) INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously. This screen will change every 3 seconds showing additional settings (host, net mask, router IP). NOTE: This screen always starts with the current IP address of the matrix: In order to toggle DHCP on and off, press and hold (for 3 seconds) the INPUT 1 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously.

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Web Interface: Video Setting HDMI Video Scaler Modes: With the video scaler mode, you can scale each HDMI output independently • BYPASS = Bypass - Scaler is disabled (Default) • HD-4K = 2K --> 4K - If the incoming signal is 1080P it will be upscaled to 4K.
AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Web Interface: Audio Settings EX-Audio Delay: This setting allows the user to change the audio delay to overcome lip-sync issues when using audio separate from HDMI. The user can choose from the above options in milliseconds. Bp = Bypass or No Delay. Delay can be different per audio output port.

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Web Interface: EDID Manage EDID Manage: Using the built-in EDID manager, a multitude of EDID's can be set for each input, and each input can be assigned a different EDID. This should be used to optimize sources or to manage infrastructure.
AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Web Interface: System Settings IP Settings: Set network settings such as: • Static IP • Subnet Mask • Router IP • TCP Port • Enable DHCP Port Alias Settings: Rename inputs and outputs for easy management. Each custom name is limited to eight (8) characters.

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT IR HDBaseT Routing: IR NOTES (On the Matrix): 1. By default the IR IN is routed to the corresponding HDBaseT Output number (ie. IR IN #1 --> HDBaseT Output 1, IR IN #2 --> HDBaseT Output 2, etc...) 2. By default the IR OUT is automatically routed with the active source (ie. If you are watching...

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT RS-232 Commands & Using RS232 The AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT can be controlled with RS-232 commands. Some configurations can only be completed by using these commands. We recommend using MyUART software (free of charge) as it is very easy to use in order to send commands to the machine.

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT RS-232 Wiring Diagram: RS-232 to HDBaseT Output Receivers: RS232 Broadcast Mode: RS232 Broadcast Mode is a very simply way to implement things like "ALL ON" and "ALL OFF" for displays in a system. Broadcast Mode allows you simply pass RS232 signals through without having to use advanced routing details like baud rate.

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Device Addresses When Using Serial Communication: NOTE: Only set device address when cascading multiple units together and using RS232 as your control method! You also have to send the device address when doing advanced routing while sending commands by serial (next page) even if it is default "A00".

AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT How to route RS232 Commands when using serial: The routing command is very straight forward but you have to take care to make sure you format it correctly. The main thing to consider before you begin: 1. You are actually sending 2 commands (route & device command) so depending on what you are using to send the command the format varies slightly - We show some examples below.
AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT Command Examples: Using A Terminal Program (RS232): In the following example we are using a program called MYUART Assist. We make this program freely available form www.avproconnect.com. You will notice in the example that it is on 2 lines. This is because you have to separate the commands with a return.
