1.3 FEATURES
The HDMI Matrix Router supports the highest quality of HDMI version 1.3 and full matrix routing functions. It is
possible to transmit high definitionA/V signals from any of up to 8 sources to any of 8 displays, while maintaining
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compliance.
.
Compliant to HDMI v1.3, and DVI v1.0, the next generation standard for A/V connection
Fully supports router function from one input to multi output routing
Supports HDCP Complaint at all output channels
Enhanced quality and color of digital signals
Built in Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) read function, with Electrically Erase Programmable
Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), to save display EDID data while supporting any HDTV with maximum
resolutions. The unit also supports user set up non-Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
resolution, including projectors with unique resolutions.
Supports HDTV Signal up to 1080p@60Hz with 36-bit color depth, Dolby® True HD, DTS-HD
Control through 4 different methods
- Front push button
- IR remote controller
- RS-232C COM port
- LAN (TCP/IP)
It has an instantaneous noise protection circuit in input and output ports, therefore it can protect expensive
equipment from fault caused by noises (if any).
**** EDID [Extended Display Identification Data]
EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics StandardsAssociation (VESA). The EDID includes
manufacturer name, product type, phospher or filter type, timings supported by the display, display size, luminance
data and (for digital displays only) pixel mapping data.

5 RS-232 PROTOCOL
5.1 RS-232C (COM PORT) communication settings
After booting the matrix, connect RS-232C cable and then make communication settings as follows:
Execute MiniTerm.exe or hyper terminal.
Communication setting:
You may set port COM 1 ~ 4 or you may use all available ports.
5.2 General Notes
This document describes the protocol for interfacing with the DV-HMSW-88.
5.3 Request/Response Format
All requests and responses will be entirely in ASCII. This will make the DV-HMSW-88 easy to use. All
commands and input parameters are in upper case only.
All requests are terminated with a carriage return (0Dh), which will be referred to in this document as <cr>.
All responses are terminated with a carriage return <cr> and a line feed (0Ah). Aline feed will be represented in text
below as <lf>.
5.4 Command Request Syntax:
This document uses the following notation when describing the syntax of a command request:
BOLD – identifies the command
lower case – italicized identifies data to be entered which is described in the text following the syntax
description
“ “ - entry defined within double quotes is to be entered exactly as shown.
[ ] - entry defined within these brackets is optional and may occur one or more times.

14
5.5 Acknowledging Receipt of Commands
Each request sent to the Pathfinder Matrix will have by default two possible responses, an acknowledgement
of a correct request or an error response. The acknowledge response will be:
Ok<cr><lf>.
5.6 Error Response
It is perhaps inevitable that errors occur in the requests sent to the DV-HMSW-88 . If an invalid command or
text otherwise not representing a command is sent to the DV-HMSW-88 , the unit will respond with the message
“ERR: unknown command“.
Example:
A connect request with an incorrect output number, ie 9:
CON 01 1(2,3,9) <cr>
The error response would be:
ERR: unknown command<cr><lf>
Note that in the protocol descriptions to follow, syntax that can be repeated multiple times is represented in the
notation X,,,,. This means entry of parameter X multiple times is entered as X, X, X, ie parameter Xseparated by “,”
character, as many times as necessary (up to the limit of the command).
Some commands allow configuration of multiple inputs or outputs without having to issue a separate command. The
‘;’ character is used to delineate each additional configuration, eg CON, EDID, RST, STAT commands.

15
6 Command List:
CON Connect input to output(s)
EDID EDID setting
RST Reset DV-HMSW-88
STAT Universal Status command
NOTE: All commands are terminated with a carriage return (0Dhex) represented by <cr>
The default baud rate is 38400 bps.
6.1 Set CON Command

input An input number between 1 – 8
“(“ Parentheses indicating the start of the outputs to connect the input to.
output an output number 1 – 8 to connect to the input, zero representing no input. Multiple outputs can be
included in the list separated by a comma.
“)” Parentheses to end the list of outputs
“;” Delimiter separating additional definitions
<cr> Carriage Return (0Dhex)
Example:
Connect Unit 01 input 1 to outputs 2, 3 and 4 and input 2 to output 1.
CON 01 1(2,3,4); 2(1)<cr>
6.2 Set HDMI EDID

7 LAN (TCP/IP) communication setting
In order to control the matrix through LAN, internet IP address should be set first.
Set up as follows:
Execute MultiTerm.exe or hyper terminal program
Communication setting
After setting as above, please connect communication cable via RS232 and then turn on power switch
Press ‘C’ Key on keyboard to open the network IP set up screen (1 or 2 second after matrix turned on)
If it does not show the Network Configuration Mode as shown below, please turn it off and on again.
If you do not press ‘C’ key or press ‘ESC’ key, it runs with previously set-up IP.

19
Set up IPAddress
Dkey displays existing matrix network address.
Gkey is input gateway IP address.
Skey is input subnet mask
I Key is input matrix IP address
Hkey is input hardware address
If all inputs are completed, then exit the configuration by press Ekey.
Connect matrix to your network via LAN
If you open internet explorer and type IP address, the following Lan Control screen will show up. You can select
channels and click Send button to change channels.
