The AC-MX44/88-AUHD-HDBT is a true HDMI/HDBaseT matrix switch. This unit includes 4/8 HDMI inputs, and 4/8 HDMI/ HDBaseT output blocks. These output blocks include a HDBaseT and HDMI port, these ports are mirrored, and both are active. This Matrix supports HDMI 2.0(a/b), HDCP 2.2, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18 Gbps bandwidth. We are able to pass 18Gbps through category cable by using the new HDBaseT technology we have developed called "ICT", learn more about ICT below.
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.

Full List of Quick Commands From Front Panel: NOTE: A factory reset may be performed by pressing and holding 4 buttons together for 10 seconds. Press and hold: • HD-->4K (Scaler Settings) • 4K-->HD (Scaler Settings) • MUTE (Audio Delay Settings) •...
Front Panel Control Switching: The AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT can be switched from the front panel by selecting the OUTPUT button first and then selecting the INPUT button: Press the button (1 through 4) on the bottom row that corresponds with the OUTPUT (Display, or Sink Device) you would like to send to a source.

Audio Binding Setup: The AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT can be configured to extract audio in 3 ways • Bind to OUTPUT(Default) • Bind to INPUT • Matrix To Set: Press and hold (3 sec) BYPASS from the audio settings (top right of machine). Toggle selection by pressing the "UP"...
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) •...
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.

Display IP Data: In order to see the current IP settings, press and hold (for 3 seconds) INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously. This screen will change every 3 seconds showing additional settings (host, net mask, router IP). 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 simultaneously.

Web Interface: Video Setting HDMI Video Scaler Modes: With the video scaler mode, you can scale each HDMI output independently • BYPASS = Bypass - Scaler is disabled (Default) • HD-4K = 2K --> 4K - If the incoming signal is 1080P it will be upscaled to 4K. HDBT Video Scaler Modes: With the video scaler mode, you can scale each HDBaseT output independently •...

Web Interface: EDID Manage EDID Manage: 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 or to manage infrastructure. The EDID options are: 1.
Web Interface: System Settings IP Settings: Set network settings such as: • Static IP • Subnet Mask • Router IP • TCP Port • Enable DHCP Port Alias Settings: Rename inputs and outputs for easy management. Each custom name is limited to eight (8) characters. Page 18...

Web Interface: IR Routing IP Switch: This allows you to route the IR Signals on the IR outputs manually if you want to fix a specific route Page 19...
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.
RS-232 and TCP/IP Commands: The AC-MX88/44-AUHD-HDBT 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. TFor TCP/IP control commands use Telnet Port 23.

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.

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".
Page 26
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.
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.avproconnect.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. The command below was sent through the HDBaseT Rx on Output 5 to successfully "Power On"...
