Step6.Connect the TCP/IP ports of the control device (e.g. Laptop) and the Matrix
Switcher to enable TCP/IP control.
Step7.Plug a 24VDC power adapter to the DC24V power port.

1) When connecting to HDMI2.0 sources, make sure the HDMI cable is compliant with
HDMI2.0 to ensure reliable transmission;
2) Connect amplifiers that are capable to decode HDMI audio to the SPDIF ports, or
there will be no output on the amplifiers.
3.4 System Applications
As its good performance in control and transmission, the Matrix Switcher can be widely
used in computer realm, monitoring, large screen displaying, conference system,
television education and bank securities institutions etc.

4. Panel Button Control
4.1 I/O connection switching
The front panel features four input selection buttons and four output selection buttons for
switching I/O connection.
1) To convert one input to an output:
Example: Input 1 to Output 3
→ Press INPUTS 1 + OUTPUTS 3
2) To convert an input to several outputs:
Example: Convert Input 2 to Output 3 and 4
→ Press INPUTS 2 + OUTPUTS 3 + OUTPUTS 4
NOTE: Indicators of the pressed buttons will blink green for three times if the conversion
is done, then it will be off. If the conversion failed, they will be off immediately.
4.2 EDID Configuration
The rear panel boasts a 4-pin EDID DIP switcher to manage EDID. The EDID data and
its corresponding DIP switcher status are shown in the below list.
