  • Page 4: Device Overview

    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.

  • Page 20 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.
  • Page 21 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.
  • Page 22 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}...

  • Page 24 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.
  • Page 25 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"...
  • Page 26 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.
