Matrix Front Panel Functions The AT-H2H’s front panel has 3 functions: I/O control, EDID, and matrix settings. The following sections go over step by step setup & control. I/O Control To set an input to an output (I.E. Input 1 to output 2) home screen AT-H2H-XXM Select Input Number ---> through ---> Select output number Press enter to confirm ---> through ---> ---> Feedback= ---> ”Input # saved to Output #” To mirror all inputs and outputs -- Ex. Input 1 to output 1, input 2 to output 2, etc.
I/O Route Memory Once inputs and outputs have been set they can be saved to memory and recalled later. Multiple individual input/output routes can be saved. The route will remain in memory until a new route has been saved to that memory number or the matrix has been factory reset.
EDID Set Up When the matrix is completely connected and turned on it will load the default EDID, which is the highest common native resolution of the connected devices. (i.e. In the diagram below the default would be 720p with 2ch audio. Multi-channel audio and 3D are not enabled on internal mode, unless all devices have these features.
Step 2: load a copied EDID onto an input Once EDIDs have been copied to memory they can be loaded to a specific input. Note: (refer to the diagram on page 9) Using the EDID of output 3 with input 1 will enable 1080p, 3D, and Dolby TrueHD to pass. Output 2 will receive no audio or video and output 1 will receive no audio with these settings.
Step 3: Load an internal EDID to an input If the first two steps don’t produce the correct resolution or audio configuration, the twelve internal EDIDs should resolve the issue. Internal EDID options Front panel display readout EDID 1: 1080P 2CH audio EDID 2: 1080P multichannel audio* EDID 3: 1080P Dolby Digital 5.1** EDID 4: 1080P 3D 2CH audio EDID 5: 1080P 3D multichannel audio* EDID 6: 1080P 3D Dolby Digital 5.1** EDID 7: 720P 2CH audio EDID 8: 720P Dolby Digital 5.
Matrix Settings When installing or troubleshooting it’s important to verify settings, or be able to come back to a project and see how it was set up. The AT-H2H has matrix settings viewable through the front panel. View current I/O settings, firmware version, FPGA version, and the baud rate of the matrix. View I/O settings home screen AT-H2H-XXM Select Input Number ---> ---> O 1 I x 2 x 3 x 4 x View Firmware/Baud Rate/FPGA settings home screen AT-H2H-XXM Select Input Number AT-H2H-XXM FW Ver: 0.
S/PDIF The S/PDIF port is used for two audio options, ARC or matrix source audio de-embedding. When using one, the other is disabled. By default the matrix comes with ARC turned off on all ports, this enables the S/PDIF to de-embed audio from the matrix source. To switch between ARC and matrix source audio, ARC must be turned on or off. Enable or disable ARC through RS-232 (see page 18) or front panel (see below).
Matrix source audio loop-out By default the matrix is enabled to de-embed source audio out through the S/PDIF port to an AVR or zone amp. NOTE: If audio does not pass through, check to make sure ARC is turned off. NOTE: HD audio formats are not supported through S/PDIF. Ex. Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio atlona.
RS-232 Connection RS-232 is connected through a 9-pin female DB connector. Only pins 2, 3, and 5 are terminated. 5 4 3 2 1 9 8 7 6 No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Pin ---Tx Rx ---Gnd ------------- Function Not used Transmit Receive Not used Ground Not used Not used Not used Not used Set Up To set up the RS-232 hyperterminal (if not using 3rd party software) use the following steps: 1. Connect the matrix to a PC using a 9pin to 9pin cable 2. Go to the Device manager folder (see picture A) 3.
TCP/IP Warning!: Do not connect the matrix Ethernet port until the first steps have been followed. BEFORE YOU PLUG IN ANYTHING: Verify no other devices on the network have the IP of 192.168.1.10 (the matrix default is 192.168.1.10). There are two ways to set TCP/IP control when any of the products on the network have the same IP address as the matrix: RS-232 or through Ethernet on a non networked computer.
Step 5: Change IP to 192.168.1.2 and Subnet: 255.255.255.0 (see picture E) Step 6: Press apply Step 7: Close internet type connection and launch IP software Log in: Host: 192.168.1.10 (matrix IP) Port: 23 (matrix port) Step 8: Verify DHCP is off Send command “IPDHCPsta” followed by a carriage return -- Feedback should be “DHCPoff” If DHCP is on use command “IPDHCPoff” to turn it off Step 9: Change the current IP using the command “IPStatic 192.168.0.200 255.255.255.

Updating and Resetting Updating firmware Atlona has made field firmware updating easy. Simply download firmware from Atlona.com and upload the file to the matrix. NOTE: Only use a Windows computer to update the matrix. Use of an Apple computer to update will cause the matrix to be unusable until the update is redone with a Windows computer. Needs: • Verify the current firmware version • RS-232 9 Pin to 9 Pin cable.
