High definition loop mass media matrix built fe cascading to an unlimited number of displays and selectable 3x3 and 2x2 multiview and video wall modes (53 pages)
• 12V/4A Locking Power Supply • RS-232 Control Cable Quick Installation: 1. Connect the HDMI input sources (Blu-ray, Set Top Box, etc...) to the AC-MX88-AUHD-GEN2/AC- MX44-AUHD. 2. Connect the HDMI output devices (AVR, Display, Distribution Amplifier, Extender) to the AC- MX88-AUHD-GEN2/AC-MX44-AUHD.
AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 Device Overview: • Definition - Matrix switches provide the ability to route any input to any output or to multiple outputs at any time. Depending on the model, a matrix switch can route HD, UHD or AUHD content in this manner. Additionally, since most venues have both, audio zones and video zones, the requirement to breakout or strip off the audio is often necessary and has become almost a standard feature on most matrix switches.

AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 Options Parameter How To Switching Control 1. Press the OUTPUT button you want to switch 2. Press the desired INPUT button 1. Press and hold (3 sec) the INPUT button of the source you want to set EDID for See Pages 7, 12, 18, 21, and 24 in the manual for full list of 2.
Front Panel Control Switching: The AC-MX88-AUHD-GEN2/AC-MX44-AUHD can be switched from the front panel by selecting the OUTPUT button first and then selecting the INPUT button: Press the button (1 through 8) on the bottom row that corresponds with the OUTPUT (Display, or Sink Device) you would like to send to a source.

2. Toggle selection by pressing the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons, which are now lit up. 3. Once a desired selection is found, quick press the BYPASS button again. Audio Matrix Control: Once in "Matrix" mode for audio, the extracted audio routing on the AC-MX88-AUHD-GEN2/AC- MX44-AUHD can be controlled from the front panel: To Control 1.
AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 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 seperate settings. The Audio Delay has 4 controls: • UP (Increase Delay) •...
AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 Audio Output Logic and Cable Prep: You can extract audio from toslink or balance 2CH Audio. Audio outputs are an un-decoded output. This means that what goes in, is what goes out. 2CH Balanced Audio Port - Supports 2CH PCM audio only, which is ideal for 2 Channel systems and zoned audio systems.
AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 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-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 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-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 Web Interface: Video Setting Video Scaler Modes: With the video scaler mode, you can scale each HDMI output independently • BP = Bypass - Scaler is disabled (Default) • 2K = 4K --> 2K - If incoming signal is 4K, it will be downscaled to 1080P or 1900x1200 depending on the input format.
AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 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-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 Web Interface: Audio Matrix Audio Matrix: This allows the user to route the audio in a matrix fashion for the extracted audio ports. *NOTE: The Audio Matrix Function only works if "MATRIX" is selected on the right (See next explanation). Ex-Audio Matrix Mode: This allows the user to set a binded audio setting or set the extracted audio to Matrix.

AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 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. The EDID options are: 17.
AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 Web Interface: System Settings IP Settings: Port Alias Settings: Set network settings such as: Rename inputs and outputs for easy management. Each custom name is limited to eight (8) characters. • Static IP • Subnet Mask • Router IP •...
AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 IR Control: For IR Control there is an IR Window on the front face of the device. The supplied IR Extension Cable can also provide a different receiver position. If needed, plug the IR Extension Cable into the IR Extension Socket on the back of the matrix and place the receiver in a more convenient location.
AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 RS-232 and TCP/IP Commands: The AC-MX88/44-AUHD can be controlled with either RS-232 or TCP/IP commands. Certain switching or format configurations can only be done using these commands. We recommend using either the MyUART (RS-232 - free) or Hercules (TCP/IP - free) apps as they are very easy to use for sending commands to the machine.
