INTRODUCTION
To distribute and switch the latest in 4K HDMI video signals, the HDR-4x4-Plus allows users to switch four
HDMI inputs with four displays. Four outputs give users flexibility while routing 4K video (3840x2160
@30Hz) and audio signals to four displays. The HDR-4x4-Plus eliminates the need to disconnect and re-
connect HDMI sources to a single display. The device is compatible with computer sources, live HD televi-
sion feeds, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, video cameras and more. Controlling the matrix switch is
simple thanks to the front buttons, the included infrared remote control, and the RS-232 port. The HDR-
4x4-Plus can be controlled by Windows®-based software that is easy to understand and simple to use.

ESTABLISHING AN RS-232 CONNECTION
Before you start:
Controlling a Smart-AVI device via RS-232 requires an RS-232 card installed on your computer or a USB
to RS-232 adapter. Below are instructions on how to create an RS-232 connection between a PC and the
Smart-AVI device.
Check the device and your PC to determine if you need a male to male or a male to female cable and
how long it needs to be. This Smart-AVI device uses a straight through cable. You can use a Null Modem
Adapter to convert a straight through cable to a crossed cable or a crossed cable to a straight through ca-
ble. Examples of crossed and straight thorough cable pin-outs are shown below. The standard maximum
length for an RS-232 cable is 50 feet. Call our Smart-AVI Support Engineer if you require more informa-
tion.
Figure 6-1
Examples of 9 pin RS-232 Straight Through and Crossed Cables

ESTABLISHING AN RS-232 CONNECTION (Continued)
Establish a connection to the Smart-AVI device:
1. Connect an RS-232 cable to the RS-232 connector on the PC.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 port of the device.
3. Use Windows Control Panel / Device Manager to identify the Com port number. See Figure 7-1 below.
4. Power on the device.
If you are using a USB to COM port adapter on a Windows PC and need to identify the COM port used, do
the following:
1. Click on the start button.
2. Click on Control Panel.
3. Click on Device Manager.
4. Click on the arrow next to Ports
(COM & LPT).
You should see the name of your
adapter and the COM port number
in use.

RS-232 CONTROL WITH Smart Control Pro (Continued)
Main Routing Window
The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router connections by means of the cross-point panel, the button panel,
or with the pre-recorded routes called macros.
Cross-point Panel: Simply click on the cross point itself. The input on the left will then be routed to the output above.
Note: Inputs can be routed to several different outputs, but each output can only have a single input at any one time. So you
can have several connections horizontally but not vertically.
Figure 9-1
The Button Panel: To broadcast all outputs to an input, hold the CTRL key down and click on an input.
Macros: This section of the window is used to save and play black macros. Macros store a set sequence of routes.
