3. System Connection 3.1 System Applications As its good performance in control and transmission, the MX-HDBASE6X6-4K can be widely used in computer realm, monitoring, large screen displaying, conference system, television education and bank securities institutions etc.
MX-HDBASE6X6-4k 3.3 Connection Diagram 3.4 Connection Procedure 1) Connect HDMI sources (e.g. DVD) to HDMI inputs of the MX-HDBASE6X6-4K with HDMI cables. 2) Connect auxiliary audio sources to the AUDIO IN ports with audio cables. 3) Connect HDBaseT receivers (e.g. TPHD402PR) to the HDBaseT Output ports with twisted pair.
MX-HDBASE6X6-4k directionally between MX-HDBASE6X6-4K and far-end receivers. 7) MX-HDBASE6X6-4K can collect IR signal sent by the included IR remote via its built-in IR sensor or through external IR receiver connected to the IR IN/ IR EYE/ IR ALL IN port. The IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between MX- HDBASE6X6-4K and far-end receivers.
KANEXPRO MX-HDBASE6X6-4k 4. System Operations 4.1 Front Panel Button Control MX-HDBASE6X6-4K provides with convenient front panel button control. Here we make a brief introduction to the system operations. 4.1.1 Switching I/O connection To convert one input to an output: Operation: “input”+“output”+“ENTER”...
If the conversion failed, they will be off immediately. 4.1.2 EDID Management MX-HDBASE6X6-4K features EDID management to maintain compatibility between all devices. It can be controlled via EDID learning and EDID invoking. EDID Learning (from output): ...
KANEXPRO MX-HDBASE6X6-4k Press and hold “EDID” for 3 seconds to enter EDID invoking mode, in this mode, use output buttons 1/2 to switch among the 5 embedded EDID data. Then press “ENTER” to confirm invoking. Format: Press and hold “EDID” for 3 seconds, “INPUTS” +“OUTPUTS 1/2”+“ENTER”.
“ENTER” to carry it on. When you press it, the matrix will return to the previous status. 4.2 IR Control By using IR & HDBaseT transmission technology, the MX-HDBASE6X6-4K has some functions as follows: 1) Control far-end output device from local.
In EDID invoking mode: press button 1/2 to switch among the 5 embedded EDID data Note: With this IR remote, MX-HDBASE6X6-4K can be controlled by the built-in IR, the extended IR receiver connected to the “IR EYE”/”IR ALL IN” and the IR receiver on the far-end receiver.

KANEXPRO MX-HDBASE6X6-4k Connect an IR receiver with IR carrier to the IR IN port of MX-HDBASE6X6-4K; users can control far-end output displayer via its IR remote from local. In that case, the IR signal is transferred via twisted pair. Only the corresponding IR OUT port can emit control signals to the remote display.
KANEXPRO MX-HDBASE6X6-4k Receiver connected to IR ALL IN is not with carrier. 4.2.4 Control Local Device Remotely Connect IR receiver(s) to IR IN on far-end HDBT receiver(s), and IR Emitter(s) to IR OUT port of the switcher, and use the IR Remote of local source to control the device remotely.
4.3 RS232 Control 4.3.1 Connection with RS232 Communication Port Except the front control panel, the MX-HDBASE6X6-4K can be controlled by far-end control system through the RS232 communication port. This RS232 communication port is a female 9-pin D connector. The definition of its pins is listed in the table below.
