④ Input Select for HDMI Output 4:
Press 1, 2, 3 or 4 to select the desired input source for HDMI Output 4.
7. Operate and Connect
1. Make sure all equipment is powered off. Insert and connect cables carefully with the power SWITCHED
OFF. Connecting and disconnecting cables while the unit is powered can result in damage to equipment.
2. Connect upto 4 sources such as a Blu-Ray Player, a game console, an A/V Receiver, a Cable or Satellite
Receiver, etc. to the HDMI inputs on the unit. Note that high-quality/premium 4K HDMI cables are
recommended.
3. Connect the HDMI output ports to Ultra High-Definition displays such as an 4K TVs and projectors that
support HDMI connectivity. Note that high-quality/premium 4K HDMI cables are recommended.
4. For power, plug in the unit power jack first, and then plug in the power supply to the wall.
5. Power on each device in the same sequence. At this point each display connected should display the
assigned source (input 1 at default when powered on initially), scroll through each of the sources on each
display to ensure everything is in proper working order. Use the included IR remote to test the switching
function. If a display is having difficulty receiving the HDMI signal, access the display’s menu and adjust
the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is displayed). Please note that a 24 Hz vertical refresh rate
may work better than 60 Hz or higher.

9. Control Protocol
Overview
All control commands are supported via the UART interface or TCP interface.
1.1 UART control configuration
Refer to the below configuration for accessing the UART.
1. Set baud rate to 115200bps
2. Set data to 8 bits
3. Set parity to none
4. Set stop bit to 1
5. Flow control is none
1.2 TCP control
How to get the HDMI Matrix IP Address?
Power on the Matrix Switch, and then connect to the Ethernet Switch or Router. Get the Matrix switch IP address
through one of the below two methods.
1. Run cmd.exe from the PC, then input “ping matrix”.
2. Use the UART PORT to send the “get current IP address command”.
The TCP port is 8080.

3.1 EDID Manage（0x01）
EDID Manage Command is used to configure the input HDMI EDID, This matrix supports two EDID management modes:
1. Select a fixed EDID, which is the system default method (10 EDID types)
2. Learn the EDID from the SINK device
There are two sub-commands used for EDID manage, the first data portion of the parameter is used for the sub-command.
