Introduction

As a member of Genesis Digital Matrix™ series of switchers, the HSM-44-UHD matrix provides exceptional quality, intuitive operation and powerful control methods that are hallmarks of Hall Technologies video matrix switches.
The 4K matrix is a 4×4 cross-point switch in a compact 1-RU enclosure. The HSM-44-UHD supports HDMI resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz 4:4:4. It also supports HDCP 2.2 and 1.4, 3D, deep-color and PCM, Dolby, DTS, and HD audio standards. The matrix intelligently calculates EDID for each input based on the EDID of the connected sinks. Users can save and recall multiple matrix routing configuration PRESETs. HDMI outputs can also be blanked. The matrix includes a two-line character LCD on its front panel to display the current video routing and to facilitate creating or recalling
presets. The HSM-44-UHD matrix is ideal for conference rooms, multimedia presentations, digital signage, houses of worship, and many other settings.

 Operation

General Operation
Front Panel Functions : The front panel can be used for the following purposes:

•  View current input/output routings (ties) on LCD
•  Make new ties either starting from input or output
•  Lock or unlock the front panel

All the front panel buttons have built-in LEDs to help with their operation. The LOCK button is used to enable or disable the keys on the front panel and

IR remote control.

Locking the front panel is intended to prevent inadvertent actions for example, if the buttons are pressed unintentionally. Note that when the front panel is locked, the IR remote function is also locked, the other means to control the
matrix (RS-232, Telnet or WebGUI) are still functional. Lock the front panel by pressing the LOCK button for 3 Seconds. The display will show ‘Panel Locked!’ and the LOCK button LED will turn on. Unlock the front panel by pressing the LOCK button for 3 Seconds. The display will show ‘Panel Unlocked!’ and the LOCK button LED will turn off. Attempting to control the matrix with the buttons or IR remote control while the unit is ‘Locked’, results in the LCD displaying ‘Panel Locked!’.
Note that the IR Remote Control POWER control will still function even if the system is Locked

Front Panel Operation

The front panel pushbuttons have built-in LEDs which represent the buttons state. Button LEDs can be off, blinking or on (solid).

Reading the LCD routing configuration.

Routing information is displayed on the LCD. The ‘IN’ row on the LCD changes to represent the current routing status. The ‘OUT’ values are fixed or show an output as blank by displaying an ‘x’ in that position.In the above example, the routing configuration can be understood from the output end as follows:

• Output 1 is tied to Input 1.
•  Output 2 is tied to Input 1.
•  Output 3 is tied to Input 2.
•  Output 4 is tied to Input 2.

Turning the unit on and off.

The system can be turned on and off via the IR Remote Control, RS-232 or Telnet.

Making AV Routing or “Ties” from the Front Panel.

Users can initiate “ties” either from the HDMI OUTPUT or INPUT point of view. For most users it is more logical to initiate ties starting with the OUTPUT. Think of it as: “I want OUTPUT 1 to get its video from INPUT 2”.

Making a tie starting from the OUTPUT.
To tie an output to an input, use the following steps:

•  Press the desired output button. The button for the currently tied INPUT will light up.
•  Press the input button you want to tie to. This selected input button will start blinking. The blinking button designates it as a “desired” choice; the actual tie is not made until the SET button is pressed.
•  Press the SET button. If you do not press the SET button with ~5 seconds, the process will time out and the button LEDs go out.

Making a tie starting from input
Routing from the input end is like the above, but an input can be routed to multiple outputs all at one time.

•  Press one of the input buttons. That button LED will light up solid along with ALL the outputs currently routed from that input.
•  Select all the outputs you wish to route to. There can be multiple desired outputs, and all will be blinking until the SET button is pressed. To remove an output, press the blinking output again.
•  Press SET to apply the changes.

Blanking Outputs.
Any HDMI output can be ‘blanked’ using either the WebGUI, RS-232 or Telnet commands.

Presets (Memorized Routing Patterns)

Recalling Presets.
Preset routing configurations can be selected by using the IR Remote control, RS- 232 or WebGUI.
Editing Presets.
Preset routing configurations can be created by using RS-232 or the WebGUI.

IR Remote Control.

The IR Remote included allows for changing current selected video ties and selecting previously configured presets. Press any INPUT # button on the desired OUTPUT row to route the video from that INPUT to the selected OUTPUT. Press any of the buttons on the PRESET row to select that recall that previous configuration.

 Rear Panel

• HDMI Inputs: Connect to HDMI sources.
• HDMI Outputs: Connect to HDMI displays.
• Digital/Line Audio Outputs: Connect to external sound system

Control Inputs:
The IP CTRL port connects to a user’s network LAN. It is used to control the matrix using Telnet or to access the internal WebGUI. The RS-232 terminal block connects to external serial control systems (115.2k baud).
The IR IN port connects to the supplied IR Detector cable if the matrix switcher does not have a direct line of sight of the IR remote.

EDID management

The HSM-44-UHD gives users the flexibility to configure the EDID for each input. The source for the EDID data associated with each input can be from one of 5 standard built-in choices or copied from any of the TVs connected to a particular output. By default, the EDID for all inputs are set to 4Kx2K@30 video with 2-channel audio.

EDID Configuration

Via RS-232, Telnet or WebGUI, the user can specify an EDID table and load it into any selected input port on the matrix. HSM-44-UHD comes with 5 common EDIDs saved in its internal memory, or you can copy the EDID of any of the devices connected to outputs. Note to change an Input to ‘Copy from Output x’, you must have a SINK device connected at the time of configuration. The SINK can be changed later, but itmust be connected during configuration for the change to become valid.

Network Settings

As shipped from the factory (or after a factory default), the HSM-44-UHD IP address is set for static IP address of 192.168.1.50. To change the IP address or to switch to DHCP, you must use either RS-232 or Telnet. For example, to change the IP address via RS-232:

•  Connect a PC with Terminal-Emulator software to the RS-232 port.
•  The DHCPn command can be used to change the DHCP setting.

Serial & Telnet Commands

Telnet port is 6324, RS-232 port settings are: Baud rate: 115200, Parity: None, Stop: 1-bit

•  Commands are in ASCII format.
•  Commands are case in-sensitive.
•  Use a single character to terminate each command.
•  Responses from the matrix are terminated with .
•  Other than Power command (PW1), the matrix must be powered on.
•  Unknown commands respond with “INVALID COMMAND”.
•  After plugging power to the matrix, you must wait ~45 seconds for it to fully boot up before sending any commands.
•  Command characters should be sent continuously without pauses. If you pause for more than 5 seconds, the command will automatically terminate.
•  When the front panel buttons are used, some serial responses will be sent out the RS-232 port
