Our MX42AB 4K HDMI matrix individually distributes four HDMI
sources to two displays enabling all sources to be viewed seamlessly
as
required within a matrix configuration. The unit transmits all HDMI
resolutions up to and including 4K. The 4-Way matrix also includes the
advanced features of audio breakout, RS-232 control and EDID
management.

Remote Control Description
OUTPUT AND INPUT SELECTION
A Selects the zone OUTPUT you wish to
change the source on (Numbers 1 - 2
correspond to the zone outputs 1 - 2)
B Selects the source INPUT you wish to
change on the selected zone
(Numbers 1 - 4 correspond to the
source inputs 1 - 4)
EXAMPLE
To switch source 2 to zone 1 you would
press 1 in the output section (A) followed
by pressing 2 in the Input section (B).
ALL button: The all button selects all the
inputs or outputs in its corresponding box.
Example: (The “All” button in the Output
box selects all the zones so all zones will
change to what source input is selected
next)
PTP: This button will align all the zone
outputs with the like numbered source
inputs. Example: Input 1 to output 1, input
2 to output 2, etc
EDID SET UP
The MX42AB provides a comprehensive
range of EDID settings. Below are three ex-
amples of how to deploy the desired EDID
setting when using the supplied remote.
A. Fix EDID to an INPUT or ALL inpus:
Press the desired video resolution
button (1080I / 1080P / 3D / 4K),
then select the desired audio format
(2.0CH / 5.1CH / 7.1CH), then select
the source input you want this EDID
information allocated to by pressing
the INPUT 1 – 4 or the ALL button
B. Copy EDID of OUTPUT-X to an
INPUT or ALL: Press the COPY but-
ton then select the OUTPUT you wish
to copy the EDID information from,
then select the source input you want
to copy this EDID to by selecting the
INPUT 1-4 or the ALL button.
C. User defined EDID to an INPUT or
ALL inputs: Press USER1 / USER2
button then select the source you
wish to assign this EDID to by select-
ing INPUT 1-4 or the ALL button
NOTE: The button press sequence should
be finished in 5 seconds, otherwise the
operation is discarded.

EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification
Data) is a data structure that is used
between a display and source. This data is
used by the source to find out what audio
and video resolutions are supported by
the display then from this information the
source will determine what the best audio
and video resolutions are to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make
connecting a digital display to a source
a simple plug and play procedure issues
do arise when multiple displays or video
matrix switching is introduced because of
the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolu-
tion and audio format of the source and
display device we can remove some of
the EDID hand shaking process thus mak-
ing switching quicker and more reliable.
Instructions on these setting can be found
