ATTENTION! Two rack ears are assembled on the matrix as default,
thus, you will need two more rack ears for this kind of installation,
which can be purchased separately.
The matrix can be easily mounted under the desk by rack ears. This
mounting option means the top of the matrix is parallel with the base
surface.

Installation
The chapter is about the installation of the device and connecting to other
appliances, presenting also the mounting options and further assembly steps:

Step 4. Fix the two additional rear ears (not supplied with the product)
by the screws on both sides of the matrix.
Step 5. Fix the matrix through the holes of the rack ears to the desired
surface (screws are not supplied).
INFO: The method is the same when the matrix has to be mounted
to a wall.
Mounting with Mounting Bracket V2
ATTENTION! Two pieces of Mounting
bracket V2 will be necessary for this kind
of installation which can be purchased
separately.
The matrix can be easily mounted under the
desk with Mounting bracket V2. This mounting
option means that the front panel of the matrix is
parallel with the surface. Please do the following
steps:
Step 1. Prepare the desk and cut the necessary hole in the furniture.
The frame size is 44.2 × 43.9 mm without rack ears.

▪Extenders: the device must be PoE-compatible or else the feature will not work.
▪Matrix: make sure the PoE option on the TPS port is enabled (which is the default setting) via LDC in
the port properties window; see Preset Settings section.

Input audio modes
ATTENTION! Input audio modes are valid if the output audio mode is set to Pass-through mode.
▪Embedded: The original audio of the HDMI signal is embedded in the video stream.
▪AUX1...AUX4: Auxiliary audio is embedded in the video stream.
Output audio modes
ATTENTION! The output audio modes can override the input audio mode when it is Aux1...Aux4.
▪Pass-through: This mode allows the input to set the audio source.
▪AUX1...AUX4: In this mode Aux1...Aux4 is locked to the output. The input cannot modify this audio
source. Always this source will be selected.
▪Copy from other output: the same audio as present on the other output.

at the same time. Optionally each TPS output port can have a mirrored HDMI output port which means the
same video stream is transmitted over the HDMI output port and the TPS output port. Three variants are
available, the difference between the versions is the number of the mirrored output ports:
▪MMX6x2-HT200: 2x HDMI out
▪MMX6x2-HT210: 2x HDMI out, 1x TPS out (HDMI out1 mirrored)

The concept
If a video signal of the Blu-ray player is present on theHDMI input of the matrix, the source will be automatically
switched to the TPS output. If the video signal of the PC is also present on the other HDMI input of the
matrix, it will be switched to the TPS output. If the Laptop is connected, the TPS input will be switched to the
TPS output – independently of the presence of the other video signals.
Settings
TPS output: Set the Autoselect to Enabled. The Autoselect mode is Priority detect. The priorities are the
followings:
Port Priority
Laptop (I1, TPS IN) 0
PC (I3, HDMI IN) 1
Blu-ray (I4, HDMI IN) 2
The other inputs can be disabled. See the settings in Autoselect Settings section.

triggers the action (crosspoint change).
Settings
Matrix: The matrix has to learn the IR code in advance to recognize it, see Infra Tab section. Then create a new
event, where the stored IR (hash) code is the condition, see Create or Modify an Event section. The action is
the desired crosspoint setting.
