PANEL DESCRIPTIONS 1 LCD Display This is a two-line, sixteen-character display which displays status information and is also used to manage display / source routing. 2 Navigation Buttons Used for routing and adjusting settings of the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI. See the information beginning on page 11 for details on using these buttons. 3 Menu Press this button to display routing, switching mode, and IP address information. 4 IR Sensor Receives signals from the IR Remote Control.
IR REMOTE CONTROL Layout and Description 1 2 1 LED Button Press Indicator This LED will be activated momentarily each time a button is pressed. 2 Display and Source Selection Buttons These buttons are used to select which source is routed to a display. The Source and Display buttons are mapped as follows: NOTE: An Activity Indicator that flashes quickly while holding down any one of the 16 buttons indicates a low battery. Replace the IR Remote Control battery as soon as possible.
IR REMOTE CONTROL Installing the Battery The Remote Control unit ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation and the other battery is a spare. 1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the IR Remote Control unit. 2. Insert the included battery into the open battery slot. The positive (+) side of the battery should be facing up. 3. Replace the batteryy cover.
CONNECTING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI How to Connect the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI 1. Connect up to eight Hi-Def sources to the HDMI inputs (see page 4) on the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII using HDMI cables. 2. Connect up to eight HDTV displays to the HDMI outputs (see page 4) on the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI. 3. Connect the included 24V DC power supply to the power receptacle on the Matrix. 4.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI Main Display The Main Display of the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII is a 16-character 2-line display. This display shows the current routing status of the matrix and is also used to display additional system information. When the unit is powered on, the following screen is displayed: After a few moments, the status screen is displayed.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI Determining the Current Routing State In the example below, the first row (OUT) represents each HDMI output on the matrix. The bottom row (IN) represents each HDMI input on the matrix. Together, these two rows display the current routing state. Starting on the bottom row, we can see that Input 3 has been routed to Outputs A, B, C, and D.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI Routing Sources Selecting the Output 1. To select the output, press the Output - or Output + button once. The routing state for Output A will be displayed: 2. Press the Output - or Output + button again to cycle through the routing state for each output.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI 3. Consecutively pressing the Output - button will cycle through each output, from right to left: Changing the Source 4. Once the output has been selected, press the Input - or Input + button. Consecutively pressing the Input + button will increment the input source value by a factor of 1 (within a range of 1 - 8). For example, if Input 3 was originally routed to Output D, then pressing the Input + button will route Input 4 to Output D.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI 5. Consecutively pressing the Input - button will decrement the input source value by a factor of 1 (within a range of 1 - 8). For example, if Input 3 was originally routed to Output C, pressing the Input - button will route Input 2 to Output C: Source changed from from Input p 3 to Input p 2. To change the routing status of another output, press the Output + or Output - buttons to navigate to the desired output.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI Locking / Unlocking the Front Panel To prevent an accidental routing change or power-down (by pressing the Power button), the front-panel buttons on the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII can be locked. RS-232 / Telnet commands are also affected. 1. Press the Lock button on the front-panel. Lock LED indicator The Lock LED will glow bright green to indicate that the front-panel buttons on the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII have been locked.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI FAST SWITCHING TECHNOLOGY Fast Switching Technology Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI products. FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specifications. FST provides quicker audio/video source switching and greatly improves the overall audio/video system behavior and performance when more than one HDTV display is used in the system setup.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI Determining the Current Switching Mode Each HDMI input can be set to Fast Mode or Slow Mode. It is recommended that each HDMI input be set to Fast Mode for best performance. 1. Consecutively press the Menu button on the front panel until the switching modes screen is displayed. The first row (IN) represents each HDMI input on the matrix. The bottom row (MODE) represents the current switching mode of each HDMI input.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI 3. Press the Output - or Output + button again to cycle through the routing state for each output. Consecutively pressing the Output + button will cycle through each input, from left to right, starting with Input 1: NOTE: In Routing mode, the Output + and Output - buttons cycle through each output. In Switching mode, these same buttons are used to cycle through each input. 4.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI Changing the Switching Mode 5. Once the desired input has been selected, press the Input + or Input button to toggle between Fast or Slow switching mode. Switching mode changed from Fast to Slow on Input p 3. To change the switching mode of another input, press the Output + or Output - button to navigate to the desired input. Press the Input + or Input - button to toggle the switching mode between Fast (F) or Slow (S). 6.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI Setting the IR Channel on the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI In order for the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII to communicate with the included IR Remote Control, both the matrix and the IR Remote Control must be set to the same IR channel. Follow the procedure outlined below to set the IR channel on the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI. 1. From the Routing screen, simultaneously press the Input -, Input +, and the Output - buttons to display the IR Address screen.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI 2. Use the In + (or In -) button to change the IR channel.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI 3. After setting the IR address, make sure that the DIP switches on the IR Remote Control are set according to the information in the LCD display: DIP switch settings g In this case, the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII is set to IR channel 1. Therefore, the DIP switch 1 on the IR Remote Control must be set to the ON position and DIP switch 2 must be set to the OFF position.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI Routing Sources using the IR Remote Control Buttons 1 - 8 on the IR remote control correspond to each HDMI input (Input 1 - 8) on the Matrix. Buttons A - H correspond to each HDMI output (Output A - H). To route a source to a display, press the desired output first, then press the input. Routing Example: Route Input 4 to Output C 1. Select Output C by pressing button C on the IR Remote Control.
OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI 3.
EDID MANAGEMENT External EDID Management The 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII features EDID Management. Before the source can send video or audio signals, the source device reads the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) from the output devices connected to the 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI. The EDID contains information about what type of audio/video data that the source can send to each output device.
RS-232 SERIAL CONTROL 54321 12345 9876 6789 Only Pins 2 (RX), 3 (TX), and 5 (Ground) are used on the RS-232 serial interface RS232 Settings Bits per second ............................................................................................ 19200 Data bits ............................................................................................................... 8 Parity .............................................................................................................
IP CONFIGURATION Configuring the IP Address The 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMII supports IP-based control using Telnet. To set up Telnet control, the network settings for the matrix must be configured via RS-232. The default network settings for the matrix are as follows: IP Address: Subnet: Gateway: HTTP Port: Telnet Port: 192.168.1.72 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254 80 23 1.
