    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 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”...

    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).

    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.
  • Page 18 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.

    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.
