Introduction The AC-MX88-AUHD-GEN2 is a true 8x8 HDMI matrix switch� Supporting HDMI 2�0(a/b), HDCP 2�2, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18 Gbps bandwidth� This switch allows any source (Blu-ray, UHD Blu-ray, satellite receiver, game consoles, PCs, etc ��� ) to be shown on any of the connected displays� This ma- trix equalizes and amplifies the output to ensure the HDMI signal can be transmitted through long HDMI cables without loss of quality�...
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�...
3� Select the desired INPUT� Front Panel Control: Scaling The AC-MX88-AUHD-GEN2 has scalers built into every output� The scalers are set on the OUTPUT side of the switch and each can be set individually� There are four options available · HD-4K (Scales 1080P to 2160P) ·...
Front Panel Control: Matrix Audio Switching Once in “Matrix” mode for audio, the extracted audio routing on the AC-MX88-AUHD-GEN2 can be con- trolled from the front panel: 1� Press and hold the BYPASS button from the audio settings (top right of machine) for 3 seconds� This will enter the audio binding menu�...
Front Panel Control: Audio Delay The AC-MX88-AUHD-GEN2 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 seperate settings� The Audio Delay has 4 controls: ·...
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�...

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� In addition, you can choose to read the EDID from the de- sired output and the captured EDID will automatically store and overwrite the EDID in “USER EDID 1”...
Display IP Information: In order to see the current IP settings, press and hold (for 3 seconds) INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 buttons simul- taneously� This screen will cycle through the settings (Host IP, Router IP, Net Mask, TCP Port/DCHP)� NOTE: This screen always starts with the current IP address of the matrix: In order to toggle DHCP on and off, press and hold (for 3 seconds) the INPUT 1 and INPUT 4 buttons simul- taneously�...
4� Input the HOST IP Address into any web browser connected to the same network� 5� Setting a Static IP: · Once connected you can use the web interface, System Settings tab to set a static IP address� · A static IP can also be set by using the RS-232 software or a direct command�...
Web Interface: Link Info Use this page to view the INPUT Video signal information (resolution/timing/colorspace)� · Each in put will display the Resolution, timing, and colorspace� · If no source is detected, the INPUT will display NO SIGNAL�...
Web Interface: Video Settings Use this page to change the OUTPUT scaler settings, image enhancement, test pattern generator, and HDMI Output Stream Video Scaler Mode: · BP = Bypass - Scaler is disabled (Default) · 2K = 4K --> 2K - If incoming signal is 4K, it will be downscaled to 1080P or 1900x1200 depending on the input format�...
Image Enhancement: The Image Enhancement feature will add extra sharpness to edges in the image when upscaling. This effect may be desirable for presentations in corporate or classroom environments� NOTE: Image Enhancement only works when upscaling from 2k to 4k� ·...
Audio Settings: Use this page to adjust the Extracted Audio Delay, and turn the extracted audio ports ON and OFF� EX-Audio Delay: This setting allows the you to change the audio delay to overcome lip-sync issues when using audio separate from HDMI�...
Web Interface: Audio Matrix This allows you 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)� Extracted Audio: Audio Matrix This section allows you to change how the extracted audio works�...
Web Interface: Input Settings This allows you to turn the INPUT HDMI ports ON and Off.

Web Interface: EDID Manage This tab allows you to manage the EDIDs of each individual INPUT� 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. 0: 1080P_2CH(PCM) 11: 4K60Hz(Y420)_3D_8CH 22: 4K30Hz_3D_6CH_HDR...
Web Interface: System Settings This tab allows you to manage the IP Settings, and the Port Alias names� IP Settings: Port Alias Settings: · Static IP Rename inputs and outputs for easy management� · Subnet Mask Each custom name is limited to eight (8) characters� ·...
IR Control: For IR Control there is an IR Window on the front face of the device� The supplied IR Extension Cable can also provide a different receiver position. If needed, plug the IR Extension Cable into the IR Extension Sock- et on the back of the matrix and place the receiver in a more convenient location�...
RS-232 and TCP/IP Commands: The AC-MX88-44-AUHD-GEN2 can be controlled with either RS-232 or TCP/IP commands. Certain switching or format configura- tions 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�...
