1.2.1 Insta ing Video I/O Boards
Once the I/O boards have been identified as either Inp t or O tp t mod les, refer to the following installation
instr ctions.
Installation Instructions
1. Inp t and O tp t mod les sho ld be installed in seq ential board slots beginning from the first slot
which will be labeled INPUTS 1-8 or OUTPUTS 1-8 respectively. Identify the board slots where the
boards will be installed and remove cover plates (if any), by removing the 4 mo nting screws.
2. If the ro ter is not c rrently mo nted in a rack, installation may be easier with the ro ter placed face
down on a table on something soft (to protect the front panel). If the ro ter is already mo nted,
installation can still be performed, b t the I/O boards will need to be inserted horizontally, which makes
finding the card connector by feel slightly more diffic lt.
3. Ens ring the correct type of board is being sed for a slot (Inp t or O tp t), position the board
connector first (opposite side of the BNC connectors) and board main component side towards the top of
the ro ter, as depicted in Fig re 5. Insert the card ntil it makes contact with the main crosspoint board
backplane. The card may need to be tilted p or down ntil it mates correctly with the main board
connector. It is important not to apply too m ch press re when inserting the card, or damage may res lt
if the connector is not mating correctly. The board metal mo nting plate sho ld be fl sh against the
back of the ro ter.
4. Once the I/O board is properly connected and the mo nting plate is fl sh against the back of the ro ter,
install the 4 mo nting screws to hold it in place.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining I/O boards.

1.2.2 SFP Modu es
The MSC-CARDRX-SFP8 and MSC-CARDTX-SFP8 mod lar I/O cards offer additional I/O flexibility down
to a single inp t or o tp t sing ind stry standard MSA compatible SFP mod les. Matrix Switch Corporation
offers several SFP mod les for fiber optic and HDMI signaling (see Table 2) and many 3rd party MSA
compatible mod les can be sed as well.
NOTE: MSA transceiver (transmit and receive) mod les may be sed with the MSC-XDM4000 b t only the
transmit or receive side will be sed (depending on the I/O card it is inserted into). To remain cost effective, it
is th s recommended that transmit only or receive only SFP mod les are sed when planning system I/O.

applications.
1.5.3 Matrix Routing
The Ro ting tab of the Web Page Interface provides a convenient way to view and change the matrix ro ting
state and is the defa lt page shown.
A preset can also be recalled from this interface, by selecting one from the Load Preset drop down control.
Refer to the Ro ting Tab section for more details.
1.5.4 Labe s
Labels can be assigned to video (and a dio if applicable) so rces and destinations. Labels can also be assigned
to presets. Labels can be p to 8 characters in length. The defa lt so rce labels se “Src” as a prefix, and the
destination labels se “Dest” as a prefix (example: Src1). The presets are labeled “Start p” for Preset 0 and
“PresetN”, where N is a n mber from 1 to 9, for the remaining presets.
The Labels Tab on the Web Page Interface can be sed for modifying labels. Click the Save b tton to store any
changes that are made. Refer the Labels Tab section for more details.
1.5.5 Presets
There are 10 stored matrix ro ting presets. Preset 0 is recalled on power p and by defa lt ro tes so rce 1 to all
destinations. All other presets defa lt to “No Change” for all destinations, which when recalled will have no
effect. Presets can assign a partial s bset of destinations or all destinations as desired.
Presets can be modified on the Presets Tab of the Web Page Interface. Refer to the Presets Tab section for more
details.
1.6 Network P anning
The defa lt device settings can be sed witho t change in applications with a single ro ter and optionally one
remote panel on the same Ethernet network. Larger installations or integration with existing IP LAN networks
req ire some network planning.
NOTE: Matrix Switch Corporation can assist in planning and pre-config ring devices for specific application
req irements at p rchase time. J st ask a sales or c stomer service representative.
Man al IP address management is recommended, altho gh a DHCP server can be a convenient option for
centrally managing IP addresses by device MAC address, the net effect still being a fixed IP for each device.
Cons lt yo r DHCP server doc mentation for information on assigning IP addresses by MAC address, if this
option is chosen.
All devices which need to comm nicate with one another (ro ters, remote panels and comp ters) need to be
Page 13 of 64 © 2013-2016 Matrix Switch Corporation www.matrixswitch corp.com

MSC-XDM4000 Product Manual
physically connected to the same LAN or allow IP packet ro ting between networks if on separate LANs.
SECURITY WARNING: Matrix Switch Corporation devices are meant for installation in tr sted LAN
environments. In the event that remote device config ration or control is desired over p blic networks or the
Internet, it is strongly recommended that some form of inter-network sec rity is tilized, s ch as firewalls and
encrypted VLAN or sec re data t nnels. This is necessary to prevent ndesired access to devices.
Devices on the same LAN need to be assigned niq e IP addresses in the same IP s bnet. Matrix Switch
Corporation devices are config red by defa lt to se IP addresses in the class C IP s bnet 192.168.2.x. When
integrating devices into an existing LAN network, niq e IP addresses sho ld be assigned from the applicable
network and the Netmask setting of the devices sho ld be set to reflect the class (size) of the IP network (the
defa lt of 255.255.255.0 is for class C, which accommodates p to 254 addresses).
The Gateway setting is req ired to be set to the IP address of the network gateway on remote panels which will
be accessing ro ters across network s bnets, b t this setting is otherwise not needed.
After assigning device network settings, incl ding niq e IP addresses, remote panels need to be assigned the
correct IP addresses to their R mot Rout r IP setting of the ro ter they will control.
Additional config ration changes may be req ired, depending on the application and are described in
s bseq ent sections.

MSC-XDM4000 Product Manual
The right side of the Ro ting tab interface nder the title “Connections” displays the c rrent state of the ro ting
matrix. Each destination is depicted as a box containing the destination n mber/label followed by one or more
so rce n mbers/labels of the c rrently connected so rces for each level of the destination. The c rrently
selected destination is highlighted in red (#7 in Fig re 10). For m lti-level systems either the destination or one
of the levels can be individ ally selected for changing all levels or a single level.
The left side of the Ro ting tab nder the title “Connect So rce” (#5 in Fig re 10) displays all the available
so rces and M te (if available) to connect from.
2.2.1 Changing a connection
To change a ro ting connection, select the desired destination by clicking on the Destination label or an
individ al level so rce label (m lti-level systems only). Then click on a So rce b tton or M te (if available)
from the “Connect So rce” section. The clicked so rce will be connected to the selected Destination for one or
more levels (depending on if the Destination or a single level is selected).
2.2.2 Loading a preset
Presets store connection states for one or more Destinations. Loading a Preset on the Ro ting tab consists of
simply clicking on the “Load preset” drop down selector (#4 in Fig re 10) and selecting the desired preset,
which is then loaded and applied to the c rrent ro ting matrix. More information on Presets is contained in the
following Presets tab section.
2.3 Presets Tab
Figure 11: Presets Tab
Fig re 11 depicts the Presets Tab which can be sed to edit presets or perform batch matrix connection
operations. Under the “Connections” title is shown the Work Matrix, which is a temporary area for working
with matrix ro ting and loading to/saving from stored Pr s ts and the c rrent Activ Routing state. For each
Destination the Destination n mber and label is displayed followed by one or more drop down selection lists for
each so rce level. The selection lists contain all available so rces (listed by so rce n mber and label) and the
special val es No Chang and Mut (the latter only if available for the given level). The No Chang option
indicates that the Destination for the given Level sho ld not be changed from its c rrent val e, when the preset

is recalled, which allows for a s bset of the ro ting matrix to be changed. Mut will o tp t blank Video or
silent A dio for the given Destination level and is not s pported on all ro ters/levels.
2.3.1 Loading Work Matrix from a source target
The Work Matrix can be loaded from the c rrent Activ Routing matrix or a Preset. Simply select the desired
so rce target from the “Select target” drop down list and click the Load b tton.
2.3.2 Saving Work Matrix to a target
The Work Matrix can be saved to one or more targets incl ding the Activ Routing matrix or a Pr s t.
Simply select the desired destination target from the “Select target” drop down list and click the Sav b tton.
When saving to the Activ Routing matrix, the connections defined in the Work Matrix will become
immediately active for the c rrent ro ting state, allowing for batch ro ting operations to be performed and
exec ted sim ltaneo sly. Saving to a Pr s t will store the Work Matrix state to non volatile memory, which
persists thro gh device power cycles and can be recalled at a later time.
2.3.3 Usage scenarios
The flexibility of the Presets Tab interface allows for several sef l scenarios, some of which are described
below:
•Batch conn ction op rations – To perform several connection operations all at the same time: make the
desired connection changes to the Work Matrix, leaving all others as “No Change”, and then apply the
changes to the Activ Routing target by selecting it from the “Select target” drop down and clicking the
Sav b tton.
•Stor Activ Routing matrix stat to a Pr s t – The entire Activ Routing matrix state can be stored
to a Preset by first loading it to the Work Matrix, followed by selecting the desired target Preset and
clicking the Sav b tton.
•Editing an xisting Pr s t – Editing a Preset is done by loading it to the Work Matrix, making the
desired changes and saving it back to the same Preset. All this is accomplished witho t changing the
Activ Routing matrix state.
