8x8 HDMI 4K Switcher

SY-MSUHD-88
www.sy.co.uk 2
The MSUHD-88 is an 8X8 true 4k HDMI matrix switcher that is capable is switching HDMI signals up to 18GBPS.
HDMI2.0, HDCP2.2 and video resolutions up to 4K are all fully supported. It allows any source (BluRay player,
HD DVD player, satellite receiver, game station, etc.) to be shown on the any of the displays simultaneously, no
matter whether the source is HDCP compliant or not.
The MSUHD-88 offers a solution for digital entertainment centres, HDTV retail, show sites, data centre control,
information distribution, conference room presentation, school and corporate training environments.
Features
Advanced EQ and amplification of outputs for smooth switching
1080p to 4K up scaling and 4K to 1080p down scaling on each output

Advanced EDID management
Allows up to eight HDMI source devices to be independently switched to eight HDMI monitors,
HDTVs, or projectors
The outputs can show the same or different sources at the same time no matter whether the source
is HDCP compliant or not
Supports high definition resolutions 4K60 4:4:4, 4K30, 1080P, 1080i, 720P and standard video format
Four control mode options: front panel buttons, RS232 commands , LAN control, and IR control either
locally or by using the IR extension kit

Installation
1) Connect the HDMI input sources to the SY-MSUHD-88
2) Connect the HDMI outputs to the SY-MSUHD-88
3) Power on the input sources you want to show
4) Connect the power supply into the SY-MSUHD-88 and turn on the displays you want to view
5) Use the remote control or the front panel push buttons to make input to output source selections
Insert and remove HDMI cables carefully to avoid damaging the HDMI connectors on the matrix switcher.
Operation
Video Selections
The SY-MSUHD-88 front panel controls allow for the selection of the inputs to the various outputs. First
press the a button on the OUTPUT row to choose the output number to change, then press a button on
the INPUT row to select the input signal for the selected output.
Figure 1 - MUHD-88 Front Panel Controls
Mode Button
The mode button provide three additional selectable options:
1. Scaler Mode (first press of MODE)
2. EDID Management (second press of MODE)
3. Display IP Settings (third press of MODE)
Scaler Mode
Pressing the MODE button once will make all the output buttons light up, pressing any of the output buttons
will make its current scaler setting to be displayed on the LCD. Press the respective output button to toggle
between 1080p > 4K scaling and 4K > 1080p scaling. Holding the output button down for three seconds will
activate the new scaler setting for that output, the LCD displays OK to confirm the change.
EDID Setting
The matrix switcher has 30 built-in factory defined EDID settings, and three user programmable EDID
memories. The user EDID memories are independent to each input and can therefore be set differently for
each input. The matrix switcher can also be set to use the EDID information from any of the output display
devices.
To change the EDID setting from the normal operating mode, press the MODE button twice and then press
the INPUT number you wish to change. The LCD display will now show the current EDID setting for that input
channel.

The factory default EDID is 1080p 2CH (PCM). The EDID setting can be set to any one of the following:
1：1080P 2CH (PCM)
2：1080P 6CH
3：1080P 8CH
4：1080P 3D 2CH (PCM)

The first 30 EDID settings are factory set and cannot be altered. The three USER EDID memories can only be
programmed using RS232 commands. The EDID from any output can be programmed either using the front
panel controls as described below, or by using RS232 commands. Each input presents its currently selected

SY-MSUHD-88

EDID setting to the HDMI source device, therefore only one EDID setting is active at any instant, but this
setting can be different for each input.
The following is an example of how to change the EDID setting for input 3:
User Action
LCD Text after User Action
Press button 3 to view the current EDID setting for input 3.
Click button 3 to step to the next EDID setting.
(This can be repeated until the desired EDID setting is
displayed)
Press and hold button 3 for 3 seconds to save the setting.
When the LCD shows the following text, or similar:
Then pressing and holding button 3 for three seconds will make the matrix switcher read the EDID from the
display device connected to the selected HDMI output and save it to input 3 in this example.
Please always be aware that the EDID setting of each input is independent and that, therefore, each input
may need to be programmed separately.
Display IP Information
From the normal operating mode, press MODE button three times to display the current IP settings. The
screen will change every three seconds to display the next IP setting, but will always begin with the current
IP address of the matrix:
In order to prevent potential IP problems, most of the IP settings can only be programmed using RS232
commands.

Local IR Control
Figure 2 - MSUHD-88 IR Control
The user can control the HDMI routing of the matrix by using the IR remote supplied with the product.
The left arrow button selects the next lowest numbered input port, and the right arrow selects the next
highest numbered input port.
The IR remote control for the SY-MSUHD-88 allows the user to increase or decrease all eight of the inputs
source selections simultaneously with a single button press.
The supplied IR receiver cable can be used to provide a different receiver position. Simply plug the cable into
the IR Ext socket on the rear of the matrix switcher.

RS232 Commands
The SY-MSUHD-88 switcher can also be controlled using RS232 commands. The following table lists all the
available commands that can be used to control or configure the SY-MSUHD-88 switcher.
The baud rate settings are: 57600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no handshaking.
In all of the commands given in the table below, all the indicated characters are required, but the  character
represents the carriage-return character, 0x0d.
Any command that is shown with brackets must include those brackets in the transmitted RS232 command.
A number of the commands given the following tables output a large amount of ASCII encoded information
that can be too much for systems with a small amount of available memory in some control systems. This
data can be several kilobytes long. The H and STA commands should be avoided whenever possible as the
GET Commands can provide the same information as STA, but only for a specific feature, and without any
additional information to process that is not relevant to the status of the desired feature. The H command
merely provides a list of all the available commands with a brief description included for each one.
