the any of the two displays simultaneously, no matter the source is HDCP or
not. Extra infrared receiver extension and IR emitter can control HDMI source
and HDMI MATRIX.
This unit has the ability of equalization and amplification to ensure HDMI
signal's transmission through long cable without quality loss.
The matrix 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.

Side Panel
DIP switch for EDID setting.
■Installation
1) Connect the HDMI input sources ( such as HD-DVD, PS3, STB etc)
into the matrix.
2) Connect the HDMI outputs ( such as HD-LCD, HD-DLP) into the
matrix.
3) Power on the input source you want to show. ( Keep the unused input
power off, otherwise it may interfere the normal display.)
4) Connect the power supply into matrix and turn on the display you want to
watch.
5) Use remote or push the button to choose input source. Extra infrared
receiver extension and IR emitter are supplied for remote control.
6) IR call back from remote rooms to control the HDMI Matrix function.
Attention: Insert / Extract cables gently.

■Operation
1. Front panel control.
The MX0402-321 front panel to select inputs to the various outputs.
2. Local IR remote control.
User can control the HDMI route of the
matrix by using the IR remote.
There are two group key pads for two
output ports. For each output port source
selection, there are 4 number keys and two
arrow keys. Press number keys to select
specific input port. Left arrow button to
backward the input port, and right arrow to
forward input port.

3. IR extender control.
User can use the IR receiver cable to change the IR receiver position.
If controlling the matrix through the 1/8” (3.5 mm) input jack on the rear panel,
connect the IR cable directly to the matrix rear IR receiver extension sockets.
4. IR call back system to control the source device.
The matrix can not only extender the HDMI signal to HDMI receiver which is in
remote rooms, but also can pass the IR signal through the IR call back system
to the HDMI source.

8 | P a g e
The IR emitter use low power infrared diode as emitter so that it will not
interface other infrared signal. Please stick the IR emitter near to the IR window
of the STB or DVD.
5. IR receiver cable extender jacks.
When the display device is not near to the matrix, the IR_RX cable will be
to short. There are a pair of jacks to extend the IR_RX cable. Customer or
installer can use the headphone cable or 4-line telephone cable to make the
IR cable extender.
Use the male jack and female jack to extend the IR_RX cable like the picture
below.

6. DIP switch for EDID setting. (Factory default setting: DIP in ‘000’mode,
EDID are all 1080P stereo).

Note1: The matrix will mix the EDID data of all HDMI sinks that choose
the same source. And forward this mixed EDID to the HDMI source device.
The thought of EDID mixing is to enable all the connected sink device can
have video and audio they can display or output. For example, One TV is
1080P, stereo, another is 1080i, 5.1 audio. The mixed EDID will be 1080i,
stereo audio. (Press and hold output1 and output2 button simultaneously
for 3 seconds to trigger this function)
Note2: Copy operation is carried out under the appropriate trigger buttons.
When output-2 select input-1, press and hold output2 for 3 seconds, the
matrix will copy the output-2’s edid to input-1.
Note3: The matrix will use the embedded 1080P-stereo EDID when the
DIP switch is in this mode. The EDID will be 1080P video and stereo
audio.
Note4: The matrix will use the embedded 1080i-stereo EDID when the
DIP switch is in this mode. The EDID will be 1080i video and stereo audio.

10 | P a g e
This setting can be used when the TV set is an old model that can not
support 1080P.
Note5: The matrix will use the embedded 1080P-5.1 EDID when the DIP
switch is in this mode. The EDID will be 1080P video and 5.1 audio.
Note6: The matrix will use the embedded 1080P-7.1 EDID when the DIP
switch is in this mode. The EDID will be 1080P video and 7.1 audio.
Note7: When mix or copy function failed, the LEDs will lit for about 2
seconds. When mix or copy function no error occurred, The LEDs will
flicker for three times.
Note8: All settings will be effective only after repower.
Examples for EDID setting:
A.How to reset EDID to factory default setting?
Because the default EDID is 1080P stereo. So just set DIP to ‘010’and
power on the matrix, all the EDID for input ports will be set to 1080P
stereo. After reset the EDID data, the DIP switches can be set to ‘000’or
‘001’if user need future settings.
B.How to copy the EDID of AVR which is 7.1 audio to a input port?
1. Set DIP to ‘001’.
2. Connect the AVR to one of the output port (For example, output 1).
3. Power on the matrix. Select the source of the AVR (for example input
2) to input port (For example, intput 2) which is connected to a BD
player.
4. Press and hold the output1 key more than 3 seconds, the matrix will
copy the EDID data from output 1 to input 2.
