Introduction
Grandbeing’s MX0808-N50 is an 8-by-8 HDMI in UTP & HDMI out matrix. It
allows any of the eight Input Channels(HDMI) to be routed to any of the eight
Output Channels(UTP&HDMI) 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, and LAN and supplied remote
control. IR emitters in the matrix are for controlling the sources; the IR control
signal could be from remote locations when work with EX0101-N53.
The transmission distance of UTP outputs reaches up to 40 meters under the
video format of 1080P 24bit, together with infrared control signal.
MX0808- N50 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\r\n”, meanings
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.
For example, if you send "bc ↙"to MX0808,if succeeds, it will feedback
"s11\r\n" ,"s22\r\n" ,"s33\r\n" ,"s44\r\n" ,"s55\r\n" ,"s66\r\n" ,"s77\r\n" ,"s88\r\n". it means that
the output 1 select the input 1, the output 2 selects the input 2, output 3 selects the input3,
output 4 selects the input 4, output 5 selects input 5, the output 6 selects the input 6, the output
7 selects the input 7, the output 8 selects the input 8.
7) Web password reset
The command length is 4 bytes.
rpw+ ‘↙’
“rpw” is the key word , ‘↙’ is carriage return.
When you send the Web password reset command to MX0808, if succeed, it will feedback
"rpw", and the web password will be set as "0000000000".
