1. Connect HDMI sources such as Blu-Ray, DirecTV or Apply TV to the inputs on the AT-PROHD85M-SR.
2. Connect 2 RJ45 CAT5 cables from each output on the AT-PROHD85-SR to the matching numbered inputs
on the supplied receivers. It is important that that each end of the CAT5 cable matches the corresponding num-
bered RJ45/CAT5 port on the matrix & receiver. For EDID set up you must use a dual CAT5 cable connection.
IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the RJ45 CAT5 cable has a 568B termination.

568B
Note: A single CAT5 connection can be used in systems not requiring IR extension through the supplied receiv-
ers. If a single CAT5 connection is utilized the embedded EDID setting choice from the dip switch will be the
default for all connected devices. For a single CAT5 connection please use the RJ45-2 ports only.
-
A). Auto EDID: Please set the dip switch to “0000” (off). Power cycle the AT-PROHD85M-SR by turning power
off then back on. All connected output displays EDID’s will be copied and forwarded to all connected sources
and the lowest common denominator will be locked in.
Example: If there is a mix of video resolutions and audio formats such as Dolby Digital, Stereo, 1080p, 720p,
the AT-PROHD85M-SR will default to 720p/Stereo as it is the lowest common denominator, thus all connected
devices will be functionally compatible with each other.
B). Embedded EDID within AT-PROHD85M-SR: Select the appropriate setting from the rear panel dip switch.
Power cycle the AT-PROHD85M-SR by turning the power off, then back on. All connected inputs and outputs
Example: If you select the combination 1-0-0-0 from the dip switch the AT-PROHD85M-SR will default to dual
CAT5, 1080p/2ch for all connected devices.

play that you want to copy and then the source input. Next press and hold the previously selected output and
F/N button simultaneously for a couple of seconds then release. Characters on the LED display will rotate in
a circular pattern until process is complete. If EDID successfully copied the LED will display “M OK”. If unsuc-
cessful it will display “M FL”. Repeat process for all desired input/output associations.
Note: If you wish to return the copied EDID back to the auto EDID functionality use the following steps.
Step 1: Set the dip switch to 1-1-1-1(on), next power cycle the AT-PROHD85M-SR.
Step 2: Set the dip switch to 0-0-0-0(off), next power cycle the AT-PROHD85M-SR. All connected devices will
be reset to the lowest common denominator.
4. Connect supplied IR receiver and emitter cables to the AT-PROHD85M-SR
and supplied matrix receivers for IR functionality. Trans mitters need to be placed over IR window on device to
ensure successful functionality. IR receiver modules should be placed in line of sight for handheld controller to
successfully extend IR commands.
Note: When connecting IR receivers and IR emitters be extremely careful to insert them into the correct port.
Failure to do so will cause damage to the switch, receiver or burn out the IR eye.
5. If you wish to control the AT-PROHD85M-SR from a 3rd party control system connect an RS-232 cable
between the matrix and the control system. Please use a straight RS-232 Cable for this connection .
(View RS232 codes on page 12)
7. For computer control connect a RJ45 cable to the TCP/IP port of the AT-PROHD85M-SR.
Note: If the TCP/IP port is connected directly to a computer you must use a crossover CAT5 cable. If connect-
ed to a router use a straight wire CAT5 cable.

8. RS485 port: protocol utilized by compatible control devices to achieve longer distance cable
runs over CAT5
9. Connect the supplied IR receiver cable to the AT-PROHD85M-SR to con-
trol the matrix switch from the supplied handheld remote control. Used when the
AT-PROHD85M-SR is in an enclosure and the front panel IR window isn’t visible.
10. To manually select an input and output from the front panel follow these steps.
Step 2: Press the desired input button. The output LED will change to the input selec-
IR REMOTE CONTROL
The AT-PROHD85M-SR remote can control the matrix
either through the front face panel IR receiver window or
the supplied IR receiver cable module. If you use a third
party IR remote control you can learn the IR codes off of
the matrix remote. If you use a third party IR remote sys-
tem controller you can copy and paste the IR HEX code
into the remote control software package. IR HEX
codes can be found on the supplied CD.
.
There are 2 scenarios for code use:
• 1: Learn all 40 x codes in order to control each setup from the matrix location.
• 2: Learn 8 x codes for local zone control only.
VERY IMPORTANT:
When connecting IR receivers and IR emitters, be very careful as if they are reversed the IR Eye will
burn-out and also may damage the IR module inside of the switch and Receiver.
