Introduction
Overview
MX0808-1011-001 is an 8-by-8 HDMI matrix. It allows any of the eight Input
Channels (HDMI) to be routed to any of the eight Output Channels (HDMI),
no matter the source is HDCP or not. Users can choose several different
ways to control the matrix: by using infrared, RS232, RS485, and LAN and
supplied remote control.
MX0808-1011-001 internal EDID library features default EDID configurations,
in addition to native EDID data for any output/display.
MX0808-1011-001 offers solutions for home, office, digital entertainment
center, control center, conference room, school and corporate training
environments.

Operation
Front Panel
The HDMI matrix can be manually controlled by using push buttons on its
front panel.
Step 1. Press the Left or Right button to select output channel, the
corresponding LED of the output channel will blink slowly.
Step 2. Press up or down button to choose the desired input channel.
Step 3. Press the Enter button to confirm the action. The LED stops blinking.

11
Remote Control
The HDMI matrix can be controlled by a remote as well.
Basic Remote Control
Remote Control at the Matrix end (locally)
Previous/next buttons
When using the remote control locally, i.e., pointed directly at the matrix, the
previous/next buttons are used to scroll between the input sources connected
to the matrix for each individual output display. For example, using the
previous/next button for 1 allows you to select the source to be set to display
1 manually. See below.

12
Matrix System Code Switch
In the event that two MX0808-1011-001 units are used side by side in the
rack, the matrix is capable of switching between two distinct IR System
Codes to allow control of either matrix individually via the handset.
System Code Switch
The default System setting is 0x00 but pressing the SYSTEM CODE button
on the handset THREE TIMES rapidly activates the alternative Matrix
SYSTEM CODE 0x4e, allowing control of the second unit. Pressing the
button three times again to revert back to 0x00 setting.
Note: changing the System Code is only necessary if you are using two
identical units within close range of the IR signal. If using in different parts of
the same room it is likely that you will not need to change the setting.
Remote control at the Display end (remotely)
When controlling the matrix remotely from the display side, the matrix
automatically detects which particular output location the user is in and only
allows the selection of sources 1-8 for that location using the button.
The right hand button will be deactivated.
For example. If you are in the Master Bedroom with a display connected to
output 3 of the matrix, the output zone is automatically detected so options
1-8 will correspond to sources 1-8 on the matrix. Press 1-8 to scroll
through your options as you would channels on a regular TV remote.

13
Advanced Remote Control
Please note, due to different method of control based on location, if you are
using a third party control system, learning the control from the IR is not
recommended as control will be limited to scrolling up/down between inputs.
For reference: the IR is NEC and possesses a carrier wave of 38 KHz with a
system code of 0x00.

14
RS232 Control
You can also control the matrix using the COM CTL software provided on the
disk included with your unit. This software offers further information on the
status of the system and greater control of settings.
The following figure shows COM CTL interface:

Set Panel
IP SET
Pressing this button, it gives access to IP functions to obtain and store IP
address.
Automatically obtain IP address is selected by default.
Or select Set static IP address to manually input the IP address, press OK
to store the IP address or Cancel to exit.

16
EDID SET
It allows user access to EDID settings that can be read, saved and recalled.
Step1. Select your output port in Port Select column.
Step2. Press Read to read EDID from the selected output port. The status
bar shows the progress.
Step3. Once completed, the EDID appears in the table bellowed.
Step4. Then select your input port and press Write to send the EDID to your
input.
Step5. Press Save as to save the EDID as a BIN file.
To write the EDID you previous saved, you can press Open to open the EDID,
then select input port, press Write to set EDID of this input port the same as
BIN file.
