５GRANDBEING®
INTRODUCTION
Grandbeing’s MX0808-310 is an 8-by-8 DVI/HDMI true matrix. It allows any of the
eight source (Blue-Ray player, HD DVD player, satellite receiver, game system,
etc.) to be routed to any of the eight displays simultaneously, no matter the
source is HDCP or not. Users can choose several different ways to control the
matrix: by using infrared extension receiver, RS232 ,RS485, LAN and supplied
remote control. IR emitters in the matrix are for controlling the sources , the IR
control signal could be from remote locations via STP/UTP type HDMI
connection on the rear panel.
MX0808-310 has the ability of equalization and amplification to ensure HDMI
signal's transmission through long cable without quality loss. The transmission
distance of STP/UTP outputs reaches up to 30 meters under the vedio format of
1080P, together with infrared control signal.
MX0808-310 offers solutions for digital entertainment center, HDTV retail and
show site, HDTV, STB, DVD and projector factory, noise, space and security
concerns, data center control, information distribution, conference room
presentation, school and corporate training environments.

When you send a control command to the MX0808, if succeed, it will feedback
current output port status to show which input port is selected. The return status
format is as follows:
For example, if you send “cir 44↙” to MX0808,if succeeds, it will feedback “s55”,
meaning OutPut5 selects InPut5.
6）Read Status Command
The command length is 4 bytes. bc +‘_’+ ‘↙’
“bc” is the key word, ‘_’ is Space, ‘↙’ is carriage return.
When you send the read status command to MX0808, if succeeds, it will feedback
the status of all outputs. When you send “Bc” to MX0808, if succeed, it will
feedback the current status of MX0808. The feedback status format is as below,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
‘\r’ ‘\n’ s X1 X2 s X3 X4 s X5 X6 s X7 X8 ‘\r’ ‘\n’
The status has 16 bytes.
X1,X2.X3,X4,X5,X6,X7,X8 separately stands
for the related input chosen by the output. X1
stands for the output 1, X2 stands for the output
2 and so on. For example, if the status is
“\r\ns12s22s53s45\r\n”, it means that the output
1 select the input 1, the output 2 selects the
input 2, output 3 selects the input 2, output 4
selects the input 2, output 5 selects input 5, the
output 6 selects the input 3, the output 7 selects
the input 4, the output 8 selects the input 5.

Click OK after assign the new IP and to return to the previous dialog.
Click and . The device can be displayed
correctly.。
ATTENTION：here assign IP is different from SetIP in COMCTL. SetIP in COMCTL
is save the IP address in flash, when the mx0808 power on,it will read the
IP from flash and set it as static IP . Assign IP function used when
automatically obtain IP address failed. This assigned IP address is not save
in flash.
11 IR call back from remote locations to control the HDMI Matrix MX0808-310 .
You can use the MX0808-310’s remote through the IR RX of the UTP
receiver to change the input channel for the UTP out of the MX0808-310,
just changing this UTP output.
This function can be set on or off: press the output1 button and the
output8 button at the same time for about 3 seconds. The LEDs will
display ‘IR ON’ or ‘IR OFF’. Push the ‘ENTER’ button or wait for 3
seconds. MX0808-310 goes into normal working condition

12 Instruction of TX IR.
The sequence of "TX IR1，TX IR2，TX IR3，TX IR4，TX IR5，TX IR6，TX IR7，
TX IR8" one-to-one correspond with "HDMI INPUT1，HDMI INPUT2，HDMI
INPUT3，HDMI INPUT4, HDMI INPUT5，HDMI INPUT6，HDMI INPUT7，HDMI
INPUT8". When an output chooses certain input, the call-back IR signal of RJ45
on this output port will choose the corresponding "TX IR" port to send the signal
out.
For example, OUTPUT1 chooses INPUT3，then the call-back IR signal of RJ45 on
OUTPUT1 will choose "TX IR3" to send the signal out.

15 Reading and saving EDID data from display
Before perform reading and saving EDID data from display, please make sure
which output is the EDID from and which input is the destination the EDId will be
copied to. The detailed procedures are as below:
1, Choose the output port where the EDID will be copied from(Assumed as
OUTPUT_N), and input port where the EDID will be copied to(Assumed as
INPUT_N). Control the matrix to connect them.
2, Under MX0808-310’s normal working condition, push ‘ENTER’ and
‘OUTPUT_N’ simultaneously, within two seconds will see the LEDs lit the
character ‘-‘ circularly(Means the EDID COPY is auto running). Just release the
buttons, waiting for the matrix to finish the operation.
3, If the EDID COPY succeed, then the LED will show MIX OK. Otherwise the
LEDs will display MIX FL. Push the ‘ENTER’ button or wait for 3 seconds.
MX0808-310 goes into normal working condition.

For example：Copy the EDID from the display connected to OUTPUT1 to INPUT8.
1、Connect the display to OUTPUT1 of MX0808-310. Power on MX0808-310
and the display.
2、Switch the matrix to connect OUTPUT1 to INPUT8.
3、Press down ‘ENTER’ and ‘OUTPUT_1’ simultaneously, after two seconds
will see the LEDs show ‘-‘ circularly. (Means the matrix is performing EDID
COPY). Release the buttons, waiting the machine finish the remained
work.
4、If the EDID COPY succeed, the LEDs will show ‘MIX OK’, otherwise the
LEDs will display ‘MIX FL’. Then push the ‘ENTER’ button or wait for 3
seconds, MX0808-310 goes back to normal working condition.
Succeed，LED shows MIX OK

Failed，LED shows MIX FL
16. Check the working status.
Press “ENTER” button for 4 seconds,then the LED will show the working status
one by one. Like this: switch mode---Debug mode---IR status---DIP setting status.
Then push the ‘ENTER’ button or wait for 3 seconds, MX0808-310 goes back to
normal working condition.
Switch mode: FAST SW（fast swich mode）/ NORM SW（norm switch mode）.
Debug mode: DBG OFF（debug mode off）/ DBG ON（debug mode on）.
IR status: IR ON （the function of IR call back from remote locations to control the
HDMI Matrix MX0808-310 is on）/ IR OFF（the function of IR call back from remote
locations to control the HDMI Matrix MX0808-310 is off）.
DIPsetting status: DUAL（dual UTP mode）/ SINGLE(single UTP mode); FIX （fixed EDID）
/ FULL CPY(full copy EDID) /LIM CPY(limited TMDS clock copy EDID)；H12 2CH （HDMI 1.2
stereo）/ H12 6CH (HDMI 1.2 6channel)/ H13 2CH(HDMI 1.3 stereo) / H13 6CH(HDMI 1.3
6channel)
Attention:
1. When the DIP switch is set to fixed EDID(1000---1111), the EDID COPY
operation will fail. The LED will show MIX FL.
2. Please insert or extract cables gently.
