    RS 232 Serial: Serial signals are ported into the Mondo III Matrix via MultiView components or via a 3.5mm audio jack for simplex transmit in a Mondo Direct. Transmission is uni-directional broadcast in this mode. Mondo III SAP versions allow bi-directional serial sessions with individual receivers. There are 8 DB9 COM ports on each Mondo III SAP frame That can be used in conjunction with SAP enabled receivers for full bi-directional RS232 communication with the device attached to the receiver.

  • Page 6: Overview & Design Guidelines

    2.1 OverView The Mondo III Matrix CAT5 routing switch is a full matrix platform to easily distribute and route video, audio , and serial signals using the MultiView series of video over Cat5 products. It is available in configurations ranging from 16 inputs to 16 outputs up to 256 inputs to 512 outputs.
  • Page 7 When designing or installing a Mondo III system, the following should be adhered to: Equalize all Cat5 Input Cables to the Mondo III Matrix All Cat5 cable inputs should be as equal as possible between source transmitter and Mondo III Matrix switch (This does not apply to Mondo Direct inputs with VGA inputs).
  • Page 8 2.2 Design Guidelines, cont. Mondo III Matrix Sizing Mondo III Matrix frames are available in 16 output sizes. Inputs may vary from 1 to 64 in 16 port increments. To add outputs, frames are cascaded “vertically” in “rows”. To add inputs beyond the 64 input single frame limit, frames are cascaded “horizontally” in “columns”.
  • Page 9 CHAPTER 2: Overview/Design Guidelines 2.2 Design Guidelines, cont. Eight Frame Cascade Limit All inputs to the Mondo III are cascaded to subsequent frames via Cat5 cascade loop throughs on each input card. It is recommended to loop through no more than 8 frames or video performance may be affected beyond 8 frames.
  • Page 10 The master frame also requires to be re-initialized when a slave frame address is changed or added. This can be accomplished using the #I command or a power reset. Following are some examples of frame addressing based on specific Mondo III Matrix sizes. 64 input by 16 output single frame matrix switch.
  • Page 11 Use the following table to determine the correct address assignments and Input Output connections for each switch frame. Note that Mondo III addressing has changed from legacy Mondo systems. For legacy Mondo frame addressing, refer to previous Mondo Matrix user guides. Table 1: Mondo III Matrix Frame Addresses COL1: COL 2:...
  • Page 12 It is possible to breakout source input signals such as video, audio, or serial by utilizing the last input card cascade loop outs to the appropriate Magenta receiver. Note that these signals do not pass through the switch. Video Out...
  • Page 13 SAP mode offers the ability for bi-directional RS232 control of devices attached to SAP enabled receiver units. Reference Section 6, SAP Usage, for instructions on using SAP mode with the Mondo III Matrix. The Mondo III SAP option also features an additional USB control input that can be used with any serial terminal application on a PC.
  • Page 14 All commands are input via an RS232 serial port on the master frame via a third party control system such as Calypso Control Systems, Crestron, or AMX. A remote control panel, the Mondo TC touchscreen, is also available as a control option. Contact Magenta Research for details.
  • Page 15 2.2 Design Guidelines, cont. Front Panel Status Dashboard Each Mondo III frame features a front panel status panel that shows a frames current state with respect to power supply health, fan health, air filter service, internal frame temperature, system communications, and any alarm events.

  • Page 16: Installation

    3. Installation Install the Mondo III Matrix switch frames in a suitable rack fixture. The Mondo III Matrix is designed to install into a standard 19” wide cabinet. It is recommended to install all Mondo III Matrix hardware in a restricted access location such as a secure equipment room.
  • Page 17 3. Installation (cont) Depending on the version purchased, switch frames may have multiple sets of I/O Comm Ports. COM1 through COM8 are standard DB9 RS-232 interfaces that may be connected to a third party control system or the Mondo TC touch panel control unit (these COM ports need to be configured and set via the LCD for control mode.
  • Page 18 HD15 connectors. Ensure cables “click” securely into place. Connect Cat5 Output cables from Mondo III Matrix outputs to destination devices. Insert RJ45 cables gently — pushing too hard may damage connector pins. Ensure cables “click” securely into place.
  • Page 19 Adding Inputs beyond 64 Apply power to the Mondo III Matrix system. It is recommended that power is applied simultaneously to all switch frames. If this is not practical, then apply power to Slave switch frames first, then power up the Master switch frame.

    The following explains each setup screen as well as its possible values. After 10 seconds of inactivity within a setup screen, the Mondo III Matrix will exit setup mode and display the Default Status screen or a user defined status screen.
  • Page 21 This can be useful when multiple control points are used to control the Mondo III Matrix as a method to determine when a change has occurred. It is suggested to query the switch crosspoint status with the D, #D or #M commands after this event notification is received to update any control system menus.

    8-bit, No Parity, One Stop Bit No Handshaking is required Characters sent to the Mondo III Matrix are not echoed back to the controller. If using a simple terminal application, enable the local echo option. The Mondo III Matrix will reply with either “OK>“ (command accepted) or “ERxx>“ (error, command not recognized) after a command string is sent.

    Mondo III Matrix is functioning (ensure “local echo” mode is enabled to see commands sent). In the case where a third party control application is used to control the Mondo III Matrix, please ensure serial connectivity using a simple terminal program such as Hyperterminal first, then check that the correct signal pins are connected to the Mondo III from the third party application.
