7.3. Installation Tips
7.4. Switcher Location and Placement
Followingthesetipsduringtheinstallationprocesswillhelpguaranteeasuccessfulinstallation.
• Testeverycablebeforeuse.
 Alwaystestcablesbeforeuse.Field-terminatedcablesshouldbecheckedforcontinuityafterterminationtobesure
theconnectorswereinstalledcorrectly.
• Labeleachcableasitisinstalled.
 Thiswillaidinconnectionsetupandprogramming,andwillalsomakeiteasiertocomebacktoajobatalaterdate
andimmediatelyknowwhatisconnectedwhere.
• CompletetheSystemLayoutChart(page26)inthebackofthemanualduringinstallation.
 Recordthesourceconnectedtoeachinput,theoutputnumberofeachdisplay,andthemethodofroutingsignalin
thechartforreferenceduringinstallationandsetup.Useitafterwardtokeeptrackofequipmentinuse,openports
forexpansion,andtohelpidentifywheretotroubleshootissuesiftheyariselater.
• LeaveanRS232connectioneasilyaccessibleforusingtheCongurationUtility.
 TheB-500-MTRX-230-4x4isequippedwithmanysetupfunctionsthatmustbeaccessedbyusingaPCandthe
CongurationUtility.LeaveanRS232cableconnectedduringsetupandtestingthatcanbeconnectedtothePC
withease.IfthematrixisbeingcontrolledbyRS232,disconnectthecontrolsystemwhileusingtheUtility.
• Donotfullysecurewiringandequipmentuntilsetupandtestinghasbeensuccessfullycompleted.
 Waituntilallprogramming,sources,andzoneshavebeensetupandthoroughlytestedtostrapwiringandequipment
down,inordertoavoidrestrictingaccesstoconnectionsandsettingsontheequipment.
• Completeinitialsetupwithallsourcesconnectedtothematrixlocally.
 IfasourcewillbeconnectedtoaninputbyanHDMIextender,completeinitialsetupbyconnectingdirectlytothe
inputwithashortHDMIcable.Relocatethesourceandinstalltheextenderafterthesourcehasbeensetupand
tested,andthenconrmthenewarrangementworks.
Binarymatrixswitchersaredesignedtodeliverunsurpassedtechnologywithsuperiorperformance.However,where
youinstalltheswitchercanhavealargeaffectontheperformancethatyoureceive,andthelifeoftheunit.Hereare
someguidelinestofollowwheninstallingaB-500-MTRX-230-4x4Switcher.
• Besurethattheunitisinawell-ventilatedareathatprovidesadequatecooling.
• Donotblockthecoolingventslocatedonbothsidesoftheunit.
• Donotplacetheunitoncarpetingoranysimilarmaterial.
• Donotinstalltheunitnearasourceofheat,orinanextremelyhumidorwetlocation.
• Ifyourinstallationlacksgoodairow(suchassolidcabinetdoorsorwall-mountedracks),itmaybenecessaryto
createventilationtoallowoutsideairintothespace.
• Allowaminimumof3”offreeairspaceoneithersideoftheunit.(Doesnotapplytorackmounting)
• Allowaminimumof2”ofdepthbehindunittoaccommodatecablesandconnectors.
• Whenplacingonacabinetshelf,positiontheunitwithallfeetrestingonasolidlevelsurface.
7.4.1. Rack Installation
TheB-500-MTRX-230-4x4canbemountedinarackwiththefrontorrearpanelfacingoutward,andwilldisplace1Uof
verticalspacewheninstalled.Rear-facinginstallationallowsforeasyaccesstotheconnectionsforinstallationsthatdo
notrequirethefrontpaneloftheunittobeaccessed.Front-facingmountingisusefulforapplicationswherethefront
panelmustbeaccessibleorvisible.
Therackearsarepackagedseparatelyfromthematrixswitcherinthebox.Attachtheearstothesidesofthematrixat
thefrontorbackusingtheincludedscrews.Tightenthemwitha#2PhillipsScrewdriver.Itmaybenecessarytoremove
thefeetfromthebottomwhenrackmountingthematrixswitcher.Removethescrewsforthefeetwitha#2Phillips
Screwdriver,andstorethefeetandscrewstogetherincasetheyareneededinthefuture.
Note: The rack ears and mounting holes are only designed to safely hold the weight of the B-500-MTRX-230-4x4.
Do not use the matrix switcher as a shelf for other equipment in the rack.

7.6.1. Choosing the Correct Output
OutputstodisplayscanbeconnectedusinganHDMIcableoraCat5e/6cableandHDBaseTReceiver(withashort
HDMIcableconnectingtheReceivertothedisplay).Foranyrunoverabout50feet,orforanyoutputthatwillutilizeIR
pass-through,useHDBaseT.
ForshortrunswhereHDMIcablescanberoutedtothedisplayand/ornoIRpass-throughisneeded,orifthereisHDMI
equipmentconnectedbetweenthematrixoutputandthedisplay(likeanAVreceiver),itmaybebesttousetheHDMI
outputtoconnectequipment.
Insomesituationsitmaybebenecialtousebothoutputs.Iftwodisplaysneedtobefedthesamesourceatalltimes,
onedisplaycanbefedfromtheHDBaseToutput,andonefromtheHDMIoutput.InjobswithanAVreceiverfeeding
surroundsoundtoazone,theaudiocanbefedtothereceiverviaHDMI,andanHDBaseTreceivercanbeusedtoroute
videotothedisplay.ThisisbenecialwithAVreceiversthathaveolderorlessreliableHDMIscalingorpass-through.
7.6.2. HDMI Outputs
TouseanHDMIoutputtofeedadisplay,connectbetweentheoutputofthematrixswitcherandtheinputofthedisplay.
FollowtheguidelinesbelowwhenusingHDMIoutputsforthebestperformanceandreliability.
• Alwaysusetheshortestcablepossiblebetweenequipment.Usehighspeedratedcablestoguaranteethebest
possibleperformance.
• AvoidusingHDMIcableadaptersinruns.AlwaysrunoneunbrokenHDMIcable.
• WhenroutingHDMItoanAVreceiverforsurroundsound,thenoutofthereceivertoadisplay,makesuretosetthe
AVreceivertoanHDMImodewherethesignalwillnotbeprocessedorscaledtoadifferentformat.Thiswillavoid
signaltimingissuesthatcancauseintermittentsyncortotallossofsync.Contactthedevicemanufacturerfordetails
regarding HDMI setup.

completetheconnectionsforanoutput.
7.6.3.1. HDBaseT Wiring Recommendations
Cable Type- Shielded or Unshielded Cat5e/6
• CableDistanceLimitations:
Cat5e/ Cat6: Upto200ft
Cat6a: Upto230ft
• UseatleastCategory5ehigh-qualitytwistedpairsolidconductorcableratedtonolessthan350Mhzbandwidth.
Thehigherthecablestandard,thebetteritwillperform.
• Forthebest results installashieldedcable.Thiswillpreventsignal dropoutandartifactsfrombeing caused by
electromagneticandradiointerference(EMI/RFI)fromceilingfans,appliancesandelectricmotors.
• Usenomorethantwo5meterorshorter,solidorstranded,568Bterminatedpatchcablesintherun.Useshielded
patchcablesiftherunisshieldedtomaintainshieldcontinuity.
• Usenomorethantwokeystonesorcouplersintherun.Useshieldedkeystonesorcouplerswithshieldedcable
tomaintaincontinuity.
• Cleanlyterminateallcableendsandtesteverycableusedbeforeconnectingtheextendertoavoidtroubleshooting
terminationproblemslater.
• MarkeachendoftheHDBaseTcablewiththeincludedlabelstoavoidconfusionlater.
Connector Type- RJ45
• UseahighqualityRJ45connectorthatmatchesorexceedsthestandardofthecableinuse.Shieldedconnectors
mustbeusedwithshieldedcables,andmustmaintaincontinuityoftheshieldtobothconnectorstoprotectfrom
interference.
• Wehighlydiscouragetheuseof“EZ”style,openendRJ45swithHDMIextenders.
• AlwaysterminateRJ45connectorsintheHDBaseTsignalpathtothe568Bterminationstandardasrequiredby
HDBaseT standards.

8. EDIDConguration
8.1. Source Setup
8.2. Display Setup
8.3.AutoEDIDConguration
The displays used within an installation usually vary from room to room, and some may not support all resolutions
availablefromasource.Itisnecessarytomakesuresourceswillprovideavideoandaudioformatcompatiblewith
allconnecteddisplaysprogrammedtousethem.Toaccomplishthis,theB-500-MTRX-230-4X4includesbuilt-inEDID
managementforeachsourceinput.ThestoredEDIDispersource,soalldisplaylocationswillseethesameresolution
andhavethesameaudioformatwhenthatsourceisselected.
Note: Source is only able to output one video resolution and one audio format.
Note: The default EDID for each input is always 1080p with 2 channel stereo audio, since this format is accepted by
most displays with no issues.
ThefollowingsectionsexplainconguringEDIDsviatheincludedIRRemote.BeforeconguringtheEDID,besureto
refertothesourceanddisplaymanualsforavailablefeaturesandresolutionsforeachdevice.Formoreinformation
aboutusingtheincludedremote,seeSection11.1IRRemoteonpage21.
While all EDID congurations are available via the remote, the Conguration Utility can be used for faster setup.
DownloadtheCongurationUtilityandmanualontheSupportTabfortheB-500-MTRX-230-4X4atwww.SnapAV.com.
What is EDID? EDID, or Extended Display Identication Data, is a stream of information sent from a display to a source
when the two devices are connected to tell the source what video and audio formats the display can use. This prevents
sources from outputting media that won’t work with the display.
Checkeachsourceandconrmthattheaudioformatandvideoresolutionaresetsothattheywillchangebasedonthe
EDID.Normallythissettingiscalled“Auto”orsimilar.
Note: EDID setup is not required if the source supports setting one xed video resolution and audio format.
ItisrecommendedthatConsumerElectronicsControl(CEC)beturnedOFFinalldisplayswhenusingtheB-500-MTRX-
230-4X4.Thiswillprovideforpropercommunicationofvideo/audiosignalsandallowEDIDstofunctionattheiroptimum
performance.Refertothedisplay’smanualforinformationonhowtoturnthisfunctionOFF.
ThequickestandeasiestmethodforcongurationistouseAutoEDID.Whenthismodeisusedthematrixswitcher
looksattheEDIDfromeachoftheconnecteddisplays.Itusesthehighestcommonvideoresolutiontocreateanew
EDIDandsavesthatEDIDinalloftheinputs.
Note: Auto EDID sets audio to 2ch stereo for all inputs regardless of the capability of the connected displays. If multi-
channel audio is desired, embedded EDIDs or Learned EDIDs will need to be used.
When to use Auto EDID
• Allsourceswillbeavailableonalldisplays.
• Asarststeptoconguration,followingupwithadvancedmethodsforparticulardisplaysanddedicatedsources.
Note: For advanced EDID conguration when using a legacy display and/or dedicated sources, use embedded EDIDs
or learning as described in the following sections.

Video ResolutionintheEmbeddedEDIDsisthehighestresolutionaconnectedsourcewilloutput.Thatis,ifthesource
iscapableof1080P@60itwillberequiredbyEDIDs1-6toprovidethatresolution.However,ifthesourceisonlycapable
of1080iitwilloutput1080i,etc.Itisassumedthatanydisplaythatcanacceptthespeciedvideoresolutioncanalso
acceptallstandardvideoresolutionslessthanthatspecied.
Color Depthisthemaximumnumberofbitsusedtoencodecolor.24bitcolordepthis8bitspercolor(red,blue,green).
36bitcolordepthis12bitspercolor(red,blue,green).
3Dindicatesthatthesourcecanoutput3Difitisavailableinthecontent.
Audio Format indicatesthemaximumnumberofaudiochannels,aswellastheaudioformatthatthesourceisallowed
tooutput.ForanEmbeddedEDIDwith7.1chAudioFormat,thesourcedevicewilloutputthehighestaudiopossible
basedonthecontent.Forexample,if7.1chisnotavailableand5.1chisavailable,thentheoutputwillbe5.1ch.The
sameistrueif2chstereoistheonlyaudioavailablefromthesource.EmbeddedEDIDswith2chstereowilllimitoutput
tothataudioformatregardlessofwhatisavailableinthecontent.
Embedded EDIDs 7 and 8areprovidedforlegacydisplaysthatcanonlyacceptresolutionsuptoamaximumof1080i/
720p.The1080iislistedrstsincealmostallolderHDdisplayscanaccept1080ibutnotallcanaccept720p.Forthese
twoEmbeddedEDIDs,(7&8)thesourcewilloutput1080i.Should1080inotbeavailable,thesourcewilloutput720p.
Note: There is a possibility that 720p may not work for a very small number of older displays that may still be in use. It
will be necessary to use a Learned EDID from the display to store in the Input EDID of any sources that will be
routed to that display if 720p is not supported. See Section 8.5. EDID Learning on page 18 for directions to set a
learned EDID.
When to Use Embedded EDIDs
• Formostcurrentdisplaysandsources,usingembeddedEDID#2isrecommendedunlessmultichannelaudiois
needed.Inthatcase,useembedded#3.TheotherembeddedEDIDsareusefulforsupportinglegacyequipment.

8.5. EDID Learning
FormoreadvancedEDIDconguration,learningcanbeusedtoassignEDIDsdirectlyfromdisplaystooneormore
inputs.Thisisusefulwhenthesystemcontainsadisplaythatcannotacceptthehighestresolutionavailablefrom
sources,butallsourcesneedtobeavailabletoalldisplays.
Note: EDIDs can be learned from displays connected via the HDBaseT or the HDMI output.
When to Use Learned EDIDs
• AnolderdisplaydoesnotworkproperlywithanyoftheembeddedEDIDs.
• WhenthesourceisaPCitmaybenecessarytousealearnedEDID.
• LearningEDIDtoasingleinput

8.6. Viewing Input EDID Status
IfthereisaquestionabouttheEDIDsetforaninput,thestatusofthatinput’sEDIDcanbereviewedusingthe
includedIRremoteandwatchingthematrixswitcherfrontpaneldisplay.
Notes about EDID Status
• IftheEDIDwaslearnedfromanoutput,theexactEDIDspecicationswillnotbeshown,buttheoutputnumberwill
beidentied.Reviewthespecicationsofthedisplayattachedtotheoutputtodetermineitscompatibleresolutions.
• If the second digit (the Input being queried) has a dot after it, then the rst digit is the EDID number from the
EmbeddedEDIDtable.
• Iftheseconddigit(theInputbeingqueried)doesnothaveadotafterit,therstdigitistheOutputtheEDIDwas
