PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MAX-HDBT62MU/P is a 6x2 HDBaseT Matrix Switcher which can support resolution
up to 4K@60Hz@4:4:4 HDR. It comprises of four HDMI inputs, one USB-C input, one
HDBT input, one HDBT output and one HDMI output. The matrix has two unbalanced
audio inputs and outputs for audio embedding and audio de-embedding.
The MAX-HDBT62MU/P uses a global standard HDBT technology which allows HDMI
signals to be transmitted up to 100m over a CAT cable without compromising the video
quality. This means that the MAX-HDBT62MU/P HDBT is compatible with any displays
and receivers that support HDBT.
Another feature of the matrix switcher is that it comes with an auto switching capability
whereby the switcher can switch its source via 5V or TMDS activity at the inputs. The
MAX-HDBT62MU/P can be controlled using different protocols such as Web GUI,
RS232, Ethernet, IR and CEC.

Auto-trigger CEC
Both outputs can send power on or power o󰀨 CEC commands to the TV automatically by
detecting source inputs. User can choose one output or both via RS232 command. Please refer
to page 19 (Set auto TV power command) for more details.
Power on Command
Whentherstsourceinputisdetected,theswitcherwillautomaticallysendCECcommandto
turn on the TV when the set auto TV power option is enable on the particular output.
Power o󰀨 Command
When the last source input was removed, the switcher will automatically send CEC command
toturno󰀨theTVwhenthesetautoTVpoweroptionisenableontheparticularoutput.
RS232 Control
The RS232 port of switcher has two control methods.
1) Local control: Connect the RS232 (Control) port to a control device (e.g. PC) to control the
switcher by RS232 commands.
2) Pass-through control: The RS232 (Passthrough) port is used with the RS232 port of far-end
HDBaseT receiver to control the third-party device (e.g. Projector).
RS232 commands can also be used to control the unit via TCP/IP on port 23.
RS232 Commands:
Thecommandlistsareusedtocontroltheswitcher.TheRS232controlsoftware(e.g.docklight)
needs to be installed on the control PC to send RS232 commands.
After installing the RS232 control software, please set the parameters of COM number,
baud rate, data bit, stop bit and the parity bit accordingly to ensure that software is able to
communicate correctly with the device
Baud rate: 9600
Databit:8
Stop bit: 1
Parity bit: none
Note:
● All commands needs to end with “<CR><LF>”.
● In the commands, “[”and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to be typed in
actual operation.
● Type the command carefully, it is case-sensitive.
