Installation
Front
1. RESET Button: Press and hold this button for 10 seconds when the unit is powered-on until the
STATUS LED starts flashing to restore the default settings.
2. POWER LED: Indicates power.
3. STATUS LED: This will flash yellow/green every second until the unit boots up completely and control
LAN is ready, then it will stay on.
Rear
1. DC 12V: Connect the 12VDC 1A PSU to an AC wall outlet and securely connector to the unit.
2. VIDEO LAN (PoE): Connect to the same Network Switch where all Encoders and Decoders are
connected using a single RJ-45 Cat.6 or above cable. The unit can be powered via PoE if the
connected Switch has this feature.
3. CONTROL LAN: TCP/IP control network port.
4. NORMAL/MCU: DIP Switch to control RS-232 port. NORMAL: the RS-232 port is used for serial port
commands control; MCU: the RS-232 port is used for MCU software upgrade.
5. RS-232: phoenix block 3-way connection for the pass-through transmission of RS-232 commands.
6. 6-Pin Phoenix Connector: 4 channel I/O level outputs, 1 channel ground, 1 channel power output.
7. IO LEVEL: DIP Switch to control I/O level output and Voltage out; switch to left for 5V I/O level out,
switch to right for 12V I/O level out.
8. IR IN: Connect the supplied IR Receiver cable for 12V IR signal reception.
Please Note:
- As default the IP mode of the CONTROL LAN port is DHCP, the PC connected needs to be set to
“Obtain an IP address automatically” mode and an optional DHCP server (for example a network
router) is recommended in the system.
- If there is no DHCP server in the system, 192.168.0.225 will be used as the IP address of the
CONTROL LAN port. Set the IP address of the PC in the same network segment (for example
192.168.0.88).

Preview Page
On this page is possible to see the preview of the Encoder/Decoder by clicking on the dropdown lists.

User Manual English
Matrix Control Page
Encoders: Display all the connected Encoders. The text in the figure is the name of the device.
Decoders: Display all the connected Decoders. The text on the first line is the name of the Decoder and
the text on the second line refers to the Encoder where the signal resource comes from.
If an Encoder shows “No Signal”, it means that the Encoder cannot be dragged. If there is an image on
an Encoder, it means that the Encoder can be dragged. As shown in the figure above, if an Encoder is
dragged to the place where the red arrow points to, all Decoders will share the same signal resource
from this Encoder; if an Encoder is dragged to the place where the blue arrow points to, only the
indicated Decoder can receive signals from this Encoder.
