IR Remote Control

EDID Management
The matrix has two ways to read the EDID. The factory default setting is Automatic Read Mode.

1. Automatic Read Mode
   HDTVHDMX0808 matrix can automatically read EDID. When matrix output port is connected to the display devices, the matrix will automatically read the Sinks EDID information, and then analyze all the Sinks EDID information, combine a most suitable EDID and send it to the Inputs. As long as the output ports has a plug-in and plug-out actions, the matrix will re-analyze and re-combine the EDID based on the latest EDID information.

2. Manually Read EDID
   Long press the CTRL button and the LCD screen displays the current EDID mode of the Matrix. As shown below: ALL Input Channels select the First Mode: Automatic Read Mode.

Long press the CTRL button again, the Matrix enters the EDID SET mode.
As shown below: defaulted as Automatic Read Mode (Mix Mode).

When the matrix enters the EDID SET mode, The EDID 1 to EDID 7 corresponds to 7 different EDID modes respectively, and can be selected by the Input buttons. PORT numbers corresponds to the Input Port that needs to set, and can be selected by the Output buttons. After selecting EDID mode and PORT, press ENTER button to confirm the selection.
Below are 7 types of EDID modes:

1. Mix Mode
   Press the Input button 1 to select Mix Mode (Automatic Read EDID Mode). As shown below:

2. Copy Mode
   Press the Input button 2 to select Copy Mode. In this mode, by default, the matrix reads the EDID information of the Sink connected to a single Output Channel in a sequence from Port 1 to Port 8 till it detects the first valid EDID information, and send it to the Inputs. As shown below:

3. Rx-PC Mode
   Press the Input button 3 to select Rx‐ PC Mode. In this mode, the matrix EDID information is controlled by host PC software. As shown below:

4. 4K Mode
   Press the Input button 4 to select 4K Mode. As shown below:

5. 1080P Mode
   Press the Input button 5 to select 1080P Mode. As shown below:

6. 720P Mode
   Press the Input button 6 to select 720P Mode. As shown below:

7. 480P Mode
   Press the Input button 7 to select 480P Mode. As shown below:

Each Input Channel Port can choose the same or different EDID Mode. Just select the Input buttons to set it up. If all Input Channel Ports need to be set up the same EDID Mode, then select the ALL button in the matrix output button area. As shown below:

Factory Reset
Press ESC + MENU buttons to restore the factory settings. The factory default Input-to-Output Channels are shown as below:

RS232 Control
The matrix provides two serial ports：RS‐232 IN and RS‐232 OUT (See Figure 18). RS232 IN port connects with PC, while RS232 Out port connects to other devices that require communication to PC through RS232 protocols. This matrix can cascade with multiple devices, signal input through RS‐ 232 IN, output through RS‐232 OUT to other devices, so that all the cascade devices can be controlled by the same Host PC or Central Control, which saves extra serial ports.
