INTRODUCTION
Description
The Aurora DXM-G4 Series Matrix is a modular multi-format matrix for 4K Ultra-HD video
signal and audio management. The device supports flexible video I/O configurations:
• DXM-G4 Series Matrix 8C: Slot 1 to 6 for in- or output cards, Slot 7+8 for output cards
• DXM-G4 Series Matrix 16C: Slot 1 to 12 for in- or output cards, Slot 13 to 16 for output
cards
• DXM-G4 Series Matrix 32C: Slot 1 to 24 for in- or output cards, Slot 25 to 32 for output
cards
DXM-G4 Series Matrix can be configured with optional I/O modules for the following signal
types: HDMI (DVI), HDBT and VGA video format. Optional HDMI scaler output cards allow
seamless switching. The current input/output status is displayed on a front LCD touch display.
Safety Instructions
Please read the instructions carefully and store them
•The switch must be operated at safety low voltage
•Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation for all devices
•The unit may only be stored and used in a dry place
•Please note the safety instructions of the connected equipment

Note: Please insert the cards only when power cable is NOT connected to main power supply.
Carefully align and position the cards before tightening the modules with 2 screws. Please
insert or extract cables carefully with power switched off. The last Slot is reserved for the LAN
/ RS232 Communication module ‘CTRL’. Quality cables are highly recommended. Cat cables
are recommend as Cat 6, AWG 23 or better, S/FTP cable.

Video Control
The keypad can be used for uninterrupted switching between image input and external
outputs.
Switch signal from one input to one or more output ports
In the video menu select the input by touch. Now press the output/outputs you want switch
to this source to.
At the icon for the output the number of the switched input will appear. This switching is
shown in the display.
Switch signal from one input to all outputs
In the video menu select the input by touch. Now press the button ‘TO ALL’.
This switching is shown in the display.
In the video menu select the input by touch. Now press the output.
This switching is shown in the display.
Blank Output
In the video menu press the button ‘Blank Output’ and the output / outputs you want to
blank. This switching is shown in the display.
Audio Control
Audio can be switched like Video for single or all Outputs to a selected input. They can be
deactivated with ‘Mute Output‘.
EDID Management
Problems with the EDID communication between the signal source and the monitor /
projector often show up when no picture is shown on the display, the picture shows
interference, is out of focus or does not fill the screen.
Usually these most common on-site issues can be solved with a correct EDID management.
With the EDID information, the resolution of the graphics card of the signal generator (e. g.
laptop) is automatically adapted to the resolution of the playback device (e. g. projector).
The EDID information can be read from a terminal connected to the active output (display or
projector).
This EDID can be copied via the touch panel or via the GUI of the Web browser to the
required input. So the individual EDID data is available at the input and request exactly the
same settings from the graphic cards of the signal sources.

At the main menu, select the EDID Management icon. Choose the Output you want to copy
the EDID from and select the input you want to write this EDID to. Now this input will
present that EDID to connected source. On the Screen this Information is shown at the Input
symbol. The EDID tables are storable in the unit via touch screen and Web-Browser.
