The MTF62 is a 4K 6-input to 2 output Mutli-Format Switcher and HDBaseT Transmitter that
provides the following features:
4x HDMI inputs (4K UHD)
1x DisplayPort input
1x VGA input
Local HDMI output
Remote HDBaseT output
2x RS232 ports – For control and data pass through
Bi-directional IR input/output
External pushbutton interface

Using the MFT62
1. Connect the video inputs as required.
2. Connect the video outputs as required.
3. Power up the MFT62.
4. Press the LOCAL button to select an input to the local display.
5. Press the REMOTE button to select an input to the remote display.
6. To use Auto input detection, press and hold either the LOCAL or the REMOTE buttons
until its respective AUTO LED is lit. Auto Input detection is cancelled when the
respective LOCAL or the REMOTE button is pressed and held until its AUTO LED has
gone out.
7. An external pushbutton interface to the INPUT SELECT connector may also be used to
select any input to the outputs either separately or simultaneously.

Front Panel Controls
The two front panel buttons allow for video input selection to the two outputs, enabling or
disabling the auto input detection mode as well as changing the EDID setting for each input.
Local Button
The LOCAL button selects the signal source to send to the HDMI output of the MFT62. When the
Local AUTO mode is off, repeated presses of the LOCAL button will switch sequentially through
all the inputs, even if there is no signal present. When the Local AUTO mode is ON, only inputs
with video signal present are selectable.
To enable or disable the Local AUTO mode, press and hold the LOCAL button until the LOCAL
AUTO LED changes state (~ 3s).
Remote Button
The REMOTE button selects the signal source to send to the HDBaseT output of the MFT62.
When the Remote AUTO mode is off, repeated presses of the REMOTE button will switch
sequentially through all the inputs, even if there is no signal present. When the Local AUTO mode
is ON, only inputs with video signal present are selectable.
To enable or disable the Local AUTO mode, press and hold the REMOTE button until the REMOTE
AUTO LED changes state (~ 3s).
AUTO Detection Mode
With the Auto Mode enabled for either the LOCAL or REMOTE outputs, the MFT62 will only
switch between inputs that have an active input signal. If a new input source is detected, the
MFT62 will immediately switch to that input.
Should the currently selected input signal go off or become disconnected, then the MFT62 will
automatically switch to the next available input signal. The direction in which this switching can
be set using an RS232 command.
Input LED Modes
The Input LEDs provide visual feedback as to the selected input for both the LOCAL and REMOTE
outputs. An OFF LED indicates input is not selected.
They also provide information about the input signal status as detailed in the following table:
Input Selection LED State
Input Signal State
ON
Selected - Input signal present / Active
Flashing
Selected - Input signal missing / Off
Off
Not Selected
De-embedded Audio output
The Remote HDBaseT output is de-embedded and presented on the phoenix L/R Stereo output.
Only PCM stereo audio streams are extracted in this way.

Using an External Switches
The MFT62 has an interface for Input selection, using simple external Push Button switches, as
shown in the following schematic:
For each connector, pin 1 is left-most when viewed from the rear of the MFT62.
An LED can be used in parallel with each switch, mirroring the input selection status as per
front panel (FP). Any input selection (from FP, external PB switches, RS232) is accordingly
reflected on all FP LEDs, External PB switches/LEDs, and the RS232.
The output that is controlled by the external switch can be set using an RS232 command. The
available settings are: Both outputs together; the Local output only or the Remote output only.
An additional feature provided by this external keypad is that an input can be selected for
preview on the Local output before setting the Remote output to that same input by pressing
the DP and VG buttons at the same time.
Cascade Mode
Cascade mode can be enabled/disabled via RS232 commands (SET CAD EN, SET CAD DIS), using
RS232-CTL port. This may speed up the overall system switching speed when several devices
are cascaded together (such as MFT62 to MSUHD88 to Apollo 4K to…….).
EDID Setting
Each of the 6 inputs can have its own comprehensive EDID management, using RS232
commands (RS232-CTL) or manually from the front panel.
Manual EDID Setting: To access this mode, press and hold both the Local & Remote buttons
together (~3s) until the LEDs flash briefly.

MFT62
sy.uk 6V1.0
Remote LEDs indicate the input being set. Use the Remote button to select the desired input.
Local LEDs show the EDID setting for the selected input. Use the Local button to change the
EDID setting to another value.
Press and hold the Local button to accept the new setting. The MFT62 drops out of the manual
EDID setting mode when a new setting is accepted or if there is no activity for about 10
seconds, at which time the MFT62 will revert to the previously stored settings.
The following EDID table applies only to the HD1, HD2, HD3, HD4 and DP inputs:

Other Response Messages
There are two additional response messages that indicate the input signal status:
INx SIG STA 1
A valid signal is detected at input x. x = 0 - 6
INx SIG STA 0
The signal for input x is turned off or disconnected. x = 0 - 6
The above messages are sent either when the MFT62 is powered up or whenever the status of
the input signal changes. They are not included as part of the GET STA or STA commands.
The input signal status can be obtained using the STA command, which provides a detailed
report of the status and settings of the MFT62.

Note: You may use cat5e, cat6 UTP in conjunction with the HDBaseT output; however for best
performance use cat6a or cat7 (particularly in electrically noisy environments). The maximum
distances & transmission performance for HDMI and HDBT may be compromised by cable
quality, patch panels, poor termination, wall plates, cable kinks and electrical interferences.
Generally ensure the cat cable is solid copper core (avoid CCA type), in one straight run
(avoid/minimise patches) and avoid close proximity to any noisy electrical sources.
