AC-MX44/88-AUHD-HDBT 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.

Press & Hold "Bypass" Audio Matrix Control: Once in "Matrix" mode for audio, the extracted audio routing on the AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT can be controlled from the front panel: To Control: 1. Press and hold (3 sec) BYPASS button from the audio settings (top right of machine).
AC-MX44/88-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-MX44/88-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.

AC-MX44/88-AUHD-HDBT IR Control: For IR Control there is an IR Window on the front face of the device. IR Receiver Eye IR Remote Control: When routing HDMI, the matrix can be controlled by using the IR remote supplied with the product. The labels on the left are the OUTPUT numbers.

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 INPUT 3 on HDBaseT OUTPUT 1, when you point a remote at an IR Receiver on the HDBaseT Rx connected the signal will be routed to IR OUT 3) 3.

To send commands to control the matrix be sure to use the "RS232-CTL" Port *NOTE: The Command list below is for the AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT, the only difference between this and the AC-MX88-AUHD-HDBT is the number of INPUTS/OUTPUTS. So for example SET OUTx VS INy - Where x is INPUT and y is OUTPUT {x=0-4, y=0-4}...

AC-MX44/88-AUHD-HDBT 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-MX44/88-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". You NEVER use device addresses when using IP control or TELNET When using serial communication it is good to be aware of the devices "Address"...

AC-MX44/88-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-MX44/88-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.avproedge.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.
