 Introduction

The M44KT is a Scaling HDMI 2.0b (18Gbps) 4 x 4 HDMI and HDBaseT matrix kit. There are four HDMI inputs for 4 sources and there are 4 outputs that feature parallel HDMI and HDBaseT outputs. 4 HDBaseT receivers are included with the kit. Each output can individually scale. The HDMI output can be set to a different resolution than the HDBaseT output on the same output channel. The HDBaseT output will transmit 1080p up to 70m and 4K content up to 40m.
In addition to AV the M44KT also can switch IR and audio in a matrix as well. The audio can be routed independently of the video including ARC to coaxial audio and analog audio output via the Web GUI or ASCII code control. It can also extract the audio signal from HDMI source device to analog audio and coaxial audio output as well. The M44KT also supports individual bi- directional 12V IR and RS232 by output via the HDBaseT/RX.
The M44KT can be controlled via the LED front panel and buttons manually, with thesupplied IR remote control, via the web GUI, or from a third party control system via IR, RS232, or LAN connection.

4.  Output 3: Press 1\2\3\4 button to select input source to HDMI OUTPUT 3.
5.  Output 4: Press 1\2\3\4 button to select input source to HDMI OUTPUT 4.
     : Select the last or next input source button.

The matrix can be controlled via this remote by aiming it at the IR window on the front of the matrix unit. If the matrix is in a rack or other place where IR signals are not able to be “seen” by the matrix, there is a IR Ext. port on the back of the matrix unit. There is an IR RX device supplied with this kit so that the IR RX device can be placed in a position where the IR remote signals can be received by the IR RX and sent into the matrix unit.

IR Control System

The M44KT is designed to allow IR to be sent to the RX devices from the matrix end and to receive IR signals from the RX devices and output them at the matrix. The design of the IR routing is so that IR can be switched or output to all IR blasters. The design is different at the matrix end than it is at the RX end.
At the matrix: The IR sent to the RX devices is “one to one”, meaning input one will flash on the RX in zone 1, input 2 to RX 2, etc. There is an input marked “All” when IR signals are input here, all four of the RX devices will flash the input signal at the same time.
IR connection diagram:

Note if the “All” input is used the IR signals input here will flash in all four zones simultaneously.
At the RX end: The IR follows the AV switch in this case so that the sources can be controlled at the proper zone. For an example if you areon input 2 in zone 1 the IR from the RX in zone one will flash on output  2 as it follows the switch. This is so you are controlling the source on input 2. Again note that IR return from RX devices follows the input selection unless you are using the “All” output.

IR Cable Pin Assignment

EDID Management
This M44KT has 21 EDID definitions in the internal library, two user defined EDID modes and 8 copy EDID modes. You can select defined EDID mode or copy EDID mode to input port through on-panel button, ASCII control or Web GUI.
On-panel button operation: On the initial OLED display screen, press “MENU” button to enter the EDID setting interface, press “UP/DOWN” button to select the required EDID and press the “ENTER” button. A prompt “copy to input:” will appear. Then press “UP/DOWN” button to select the input port you need to set, and press “ENTER” button again to confirm this operation.
RS-232 control operation: Connect the Matrix to PC with a USB to serial cable, then open a Serial Command tool such as Hercules or Docklight on a PC to send ASCII command “s edid in x from z!” to set EDID. For details, please refer to “EDID Setting” in the ASCII command list of “12. RS-232 Control command”.
Web GUI Operation: Please check the EDID management in the “Input page” of “11. Web GUI User Guide”. The EDID Library is shown below:

Matrix Audio and RS-232 Introduction

The M44KT supports coaxial and analog audio output. The audio signal follows HDBaseT and HDMI output port. It supports one-to-one transmission. For example, the OUTPUT 1 port audio signal follows HDBaseT and HDMI 1 port, the OUTPUT 2 port audio signal follows HDBaseT and HDMI 2 port etc. This can be changed via commands and thus the M44KT can route audio independently of the video as well including ARC (only supported on HDMI output)
If HDMI ARC switch and HDBaseT ARC switch are turned on by ASCII command, the coaxial and analog audio output signal can be the returned HDMI or HDBaseT display device’s audio, the external audio source, or the extracted HDMI source device audio.
Note: During multi-channel audio, 3.5 audio has no audio output.
The RS-232 channel is also one-to-one transmission. For example, the RS-232 port of the OUTPUT 1 at Matrix end follows the RS-232 port at HDBaseT Receiver 1, The RS-232 port of the OUTPUT 3 at Matrix end follows the RS-232 port at HDBaseT Receiver 3 etc. Please see the following connection diagram: The M44KT uses a 3-PIN Phoenix connector for RS-232 communication.
Many devices use a DB-9 connection. An adapter needs to be purchased or created. The TX and RX are reversed depending which end you are connecting to.

 Web GUI User Guide

The Matrix can be set up and controlled by its internal web GUI. The operation method is shown as below:
Step 1: Get the current IP Address. The default IP address is set by DHCP. You canget the current Matrix IP address in two ways:
The first way: You can get the IP address via panel buttons. On the initial OLED display, press “MENU” button to enter the Matrix switching state interface, then press “UP/DOWN” button to check the current IP address.
The second way: You can get the IP address via RS-232 control. Send the ASCII command “ r ipconfig!” through a Serial Command tool, then you’ll get the feedback information as shown below:

Using the IP information gained by the display or command response, you can login to the matrix to access its internal web GUI.
For RS-232 Control please refer to section “12. RS-232 Control Command”
Step 2: Connect the matrix to a network or directly connect to a PC via a UTP cable. The PC will need to be in the same network segment as the matrix.
Step 3: Input the M44KT’s IP address into the address bar on your browser. When the matrix responds, you will get the main Login page that looks like this: There are two available login names. One is Admin and the other is User. You will want to use the Admin login. The passwords are the same as the login names just all lower case. An example is that the password for Admin is “admin”. Once populated with the username and password, click the LOGIN button. This will take you to the status page.
