Introduction The ConferX 8x4 Matrix Switcher is the ideal solution for any conference room, classroom or hud- dle space. This 4K switcher can display any of the eight sources through both the HDBaseT and HDMI output ports. All four of the outputs are completely independent of each other allowing the user to show four sources at the same time.
Front & Rear Panel Overview Basic Installation The unit has an Auto-Config on boot up and reception of new sources and displays to maximize plug and play installation: 1. Plug in the display(s) or sink devices 2. Plug in the sources 3.
Front Panel: Switching Control The AC-CX84-AUHD can be switched from the front panel by pressing the desired OUTPUT button first, then the desired INPUT button: 1. Press the desired OUTPUT button (1 & 3 are HDBT, 2 & 4 are HDMI). 2.
Front Panel: EDID Setup 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”...
Front Panel Control - Scaling The AC-CX84-AUHD has scalers built into every output. The HDbaseT Ports can be DOWNSCALED and the HDMI Ports can be UPSCALED. The scalers are set on the OUTPUT side of the switch and each can have separate settings. ·...
Audio Control: Audio Binding The AC-CX84-AUHD has 3 settings for the Extracted Audio. • BIND TO OUTPUT (extracted audio switches with the video, this is the default mode) • BIND TO INPUT (extracted audio is fixed to the corresponding input by the same number) •...
Audio Input: Line In/Microphone The audio input port can be enabled and disabled by using the following command. SET OUTx EXA MIC EN/DIS : Set Ex-Audio Microphone Output Enable/Disable{x=[0~4](0=ALL)} Example #1 - SET OUT1 EXA MIC EN In the example below, the audio from the microphone will be output on extracted audio #1 (green). Extracted audio ports 2-4 have audio routed from the source (blue).
Front Panel: Display IP Information The Extracted Audio ports can be independently controlled while in MATRIX Mode. In order to see the current IP settings, press and hold (for 3 secondsv) INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously. This screen will change every 3 seconds showing additional settings (host, net mask, router IP).
RS232 Configuration: The AC-CX84-AUHD has two distinct RS232 Ports. 1. HDBT - This is for transmitting RS232 signals from the Matrix to the remote HDBaseT Receiver 2. MATRIX - This is for sending signals to the AC-CX84- AUHD Matrix for controlling the device. An example is shown on the next page.
RS232 and TCP/IP Commands: The Matrix 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.
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”.
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.

In the following example we are using a program called MYUART Assist. We make this program free- ly available form www.avproedge.com. You will notice in the example that it is on 2 lines. This is because you have to separate the com- mands with a return.

IR Configuration IR Mode Slide Switch: (On Back) This is used to select a preferred IR Mode - There are two modes: • IR-EYE - The IR Input will be configured to operate with an IR Receiver Eye. • IR PASS - The IR Input will be configured to safely operate with a direct connection from a control system using a mono or stereo 3.5mm cable.
IR Configuration Continued The IR OUT port is send IR signals out of an IR Emitter (Pictured below) that originate at the HDBas- eT Receiver OR HDBaseT Transmitter IR Sensor IR Emitter...
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.
Microphone IN and Cable Prep: The Microphone/Line InputThere are 3 settings for the Microphone Input, they are 1. LINE IN - 1. LINE IN - Balance Mono Anolog Audio Input (use + and Ground VPP should be less than 2 Volts 2.
Web Interface: Video Setting Video Scaler Modes: The AC-CX84-AUHD has video scaling features built-in. The HDBT outputs can downscale a 4k signal to a HD signal (1080P). And the HDMI outputs can upscale HD signals (1080p) to 4k. Default set- tings shown above.
Web Interface: Audio Setting 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 (default).
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). Audio Status: This allows the user to turn ON and OFF the extracted audio output.
Web Interface: 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: 1080P_2CH 1080P_8CH_HDR 1080P_6CH...
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 · TCP Port ·...
