Introduction
The AC-AXION-X is a 16 input/output Matrix switch built to handle all the
latest sources outputting 4K 60 (4:4:4) HDR video signals. What truly makes
this switch the choice of integrators around the world is the ability to
distribute 18Gbps 4K to some zones and 1080p to others. We are able to
accomplish this with our built in 4K to 1080p down-scalers on odd HDBT
outputs. This feature is one of many designed to help integrators throughout
the installation process.
Supporting the full HDMI 2.0 a/b specification and supporting every flavor of
HDR, this matrix will ensure you can get the most out of any system. This
16×16 matrix switcher supports formats including HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby
Vision, HLG, BBC and NHK. All of them are supported in up to 4K 60Hz and up to
12 Bit Deep Color. All color space compression is compatible.
This powerhouse matrix switcher is the ideal solution for a multi-zone setup
that has 4K sources and up to 16 zones. Control’s a breeze as this switch
comes with a web GUI you can access via the IP address, as well as drivers for
all the top control systems. Combine that with the LED setup screen on the
front, and you won’t have any problems getting this switch up and running. The
AC-AXION-X is the integrators choice for large multi-zone distribution
systems.

Front and Rear Panel Overview 10
Initial Setup: WebUI
The AC-AXION-X can be controlled using the Micro USB port, 3pin RS232, or over
TCP/IP using the LAN connection. For initial setup it is recommended to
connect the matrix to a local area network (LAN) and use a computer on the
same network in conjunction with the built in WebUI. After making all the
physical connections, the first step will be to check for any Firmware
Updates. The below steps are an example of this setup, other control options
are covered in separate sections of this user manual.
1. With the AC-AXION-X placed into its new home (AV Rack, cabinet, table top)
take a Phillips head screwdriver and attach the included yellow ground strap
to the back of the chassis using the pre-installed screw, then attach the
other end to a suitable grounded object.
2. Connect the HDMI/HDBaseT Input sources to the Inputs on the back of the
matrix. 3. Connect the HDMI/HDBaseT devices to the HDMI/HDBaseT Outputs. 4.
Connect the network LAN cable to the RJ45 port labeled LAN (between the Micro
USB and 3pin RS232
port). 5. Power on the sources (Inputs). 6. Power on the Output
devices/displays. 7. Connect the power supply cable to power the back of the
matrix and then to a suitable
power source. 8. Using the front panel display and control/arrow buttons
navigate to NETWORK and press
the OK button to enter the IP Settings menu.
9. Either manually enter in your desired IP settings, or enable DHCP and let
your network assign the correct settings. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to
highlight the row you want to change (HIP, RIP, TCP Port, etc), click OK, use
left/right arrow keys to select and the UP/DOWN arrow keys to change the
setting. Click the OK button again to confirm those changes.
10. With the matrix connected to the local network, using a computer on the
same network open up a web browser and type the HIP (Host IP Address) into the
address bar to navigate to the WebUI.
11
11. With the AVProEdge WebUI open, navigate to System. Click on the Privacy
Policy and Terms of Use, this will open these documents in a new tab for
review. Once read click on the boxes next to each to agree. When both are
checked the switch for Enable Cloud Services will be selectable (will be red
or disabled by default). Click to enable (the switch will turn green).
12. With the Cloud Services enabled under the Hardware section click the
Update Firmware button to check for new Firmware OTA (over the air). This will
compare the firmware versions currently loaded on the AC-AXION-X and compare
to the latest available. If it is up to date, you will see a prompt stating
“No update available!”
13. If an update is available, the following prompt will show. Simply click
UPDATE. 14. If a new update is available a file will automatically be
selected, simply click the UPLOAD button to
load the firmware files to the Matrix. Uploading does not install the
Firmware, that is the next step.
12
15. Once the firmware file has been uploaded, it will display all containing
firmware files. Here you can select individual firmware files to load or
simply leave all files/options selected. If the version currently installed is
not newer (does not need to be updated), then that update will be skipped
automatically. Click the UPGRADE button to start.
16. Once the progress bar hits 100% click the CLOSE button, the firmware
upgrade process is complete. 17. With the Firmware up to date it’s time to
start setting up the matrix. With the AVProEdge WebUI open,
navigate to the I/O Conifg section. Label the applicable Inputs (Apple TV,
Cable Box, Roku, etc) under the Input Settings – Label.
18. Label the Outputs (Living Room, Bedroom, Den, etc) under the Video Output
Settings – Label.
13
19. Set the HDMI/HDBaseT Video Scaling if needed. Note scaling options are
dependent on the type of card installed. Only available options will be
displayed. The AC-AXION-OUT-AUHD and AC-AXIONOUT-HDBT can down-scale a 4K
signal to 2K (1080P).
20. When using the AC-AXION-IN-MCS and AC-AXION-OUT-MCS you can set the
Output timing from 480P up to 4K (there are 20 options total).
21. With the system and all it’s components powered up it’s time to verify
signal path from source to the sync. For now leave EDID settings to their
default 1080P 2CH, the next section Advanced Setup will cover the more advance
settings.
22. Use the Signal Indicator on the HDMI INPUTS. Green means HDMI source is
detected, red means that the source is not detected. If red verify that the
input is powered on and that the HDMI cable is properly connected to the
source and to the back of the matrix.
23. Now verify the connections to the HDMI/HDBaseT outputs using the Signal
indicator. Green means HDMI/HDBaseT sync is detected, red means that the
HDMI/HDBaseT sync is not detected. If red verify that the sync devices are
powered on and that the HDMI/HDBaseT cables are properly connected to the back
of the matrix.
24. With everything connected and powered on, green indicators across the
applicable inputs and outputs, verify you are getting all of your sources on
all of your displays.
25. Problems with a source or sync, see the Troubleshooting section for help
on page 45.
14
Advanced Setup: WebUI Input Settings
After verifying good signal path from source to sync now it is time to go
through the rest of the settings to maximize the setup. Starting with the
input side with the EDID and Audio Mode settings.
1. With the WebUI open, navigate to the I/O Conifg tab and focus on the Input
Settings section at the top.
2. Set the EDID on each input by selecting the resolution drop-down first
(default is set to 1080P). The options are 1080P, 4K30Hz, 4K60Hz Y420, and
4K60Hz. If you select USER1 EDID, then the dropdowns change to allow you to
select from and output to copy from. You can select any of the 4 HDMI outputs,
or any of the 4 HDBaseT outputs, then click the COPY button. This will save
that outputs EDID to the USER1 slot.
3. Next use the drop-down to select NO 3D, or 3D depending on the displays
capability. NOTE: Currently the only resolution you can choose NO 3D for is
1080P.
4. Next drop-down select either SDR (standard dynamic range) or HDR (High
Dynamic Range). 5. The fourth drop-down in the EDID section is for the audio,
you can select 2CH, 6CH, or 8CH. 6. Click the APPLY button to set the EDID.
7. Verify you are still getting that source to all your displays and that the
image looks correct. NOTE: Some older displays may take an HDR signal and
display correctly (ignoring the HDR Metadata) others will not ignore the HDR
part of the signal and may display incorrectly.
8. Audio Downmix Mode – see section “Advanced Setup: WebUI Extracted Audio
Output Settings” page[s] 17 for more info.
15
Advanced Setup: WebUI Output Settings
1. Now navigate to the Video Output Settings under I/O Config 2. In addition
to the output Label (name/alias), there are 3 possible settings for each HDMI
outputs
depending on the installed output card. The AC-AXION-OUT-AUHD can down-scale a
4K signal to 2K (1080P) and the AC-AXION-OUT-MCS when paired the the AC-AXION-
IN-MCS has 20 possible output timing formats.
3. When using the AC-AXION-OUT-HDBT Under State, you can enable/disable that port (turn that port on or off) set the Video Scaling mode ICT or 4K to 1080P, and you can Enable or Disable the Bitstream Audio (slider icon Green=ON, Red=OFF).

WebUI Extracted Audio Output Settings
1. Now navigate to the Extracted Audio Output Settings under I/O Config. 2.
The extracted audio ports have 3 distinct operating modes, use the drop-down
at the top to select.
The three options are. Bind to Input (Default) – where the audio port number
corresponds to the input signal. This is ideal for systems where audio is
matrixed separately in a zoned amplifier. Bind to Output – this configuration
the audio will automatically follow the HDMI/HDBaseT output. This is ideal for
systems that use local AVR’s for some of the Zones. Matrix – This mode allows
you to matrix the extracted audio ports independently from the HDMI/ HDBaseT
outputs. In this mode you there will be a Tab for the extracted audio under
the Matrix page, allowing you to route the audio just like routing the video.
If the matrix is set to Bind to Input or Bind to Output this tab will not be
visible.
3. Other available settings for the extracted audio ports include
Enable/Disable, Volume control (1-100), EQ presets (7 generic preset options
to choose from), Left/Right balance, and audio delay. Each of these 5 settings
can be changed per extracted audio port. NOTE: The balanced 5pin and Toslink
ports are mirrored and always down-mixed to 2CH audio.
4. You can use the slider or text box to change the volume (settings are
0-100).
17
5. To change the EQ settings of that port click on the emblem to the right of the volume slider. This will bring up the Audio Configuration Page. Here you can choose from 8 different EQ settings, change the Left / Right balance, and set the audio delay.

WebUI: I/O Config – Output Settings Cont.
Output Settings Video Scaling – The HDMI outputs on an AC-AXION-OUT-AUHD can
down-scale a 4K signal to 1080P . This scaling only changes the pixel density,
it does not alter frame rate or colorspace.
Output Settings Timing Format – When using an AC-AXION-OUT-MCS and AC-AXION-
IN-MCS cards together you can set a fixed output timing to 20 different
options, from 480P to 4K (see section Available Input Cards / Available Output
cards page(s) 6-7 for more details).
Output Settings Bitstream Audio – When using the AC-AXION-OUT-HDBT card you
can use the enable/ disable switch to turn Bitstream Audio on/off. By default
this will be Enabled/Green. To change the setting simply click to switch.
Disabled/Red there will be no Audio passed on that HDBaseT output.
NOTE: This setting has no affect on the HDBaseT or Extracted Audio output.
Output Settings Signal – The Signal Indicator on the HDMI OUTPUTS shows the
current state of the connection HDMI Output. Green means HDMI sync is
detected, red means that the sync is not detected. If red verify that the
output is powered on and that the HDMI cable is properly connected to the sync
and to the back of the matrix.
Output Settings State – This drop-down has 3 settings, just like the input settings and HDMI outputs you can Enable or Disable this port. In addition you can also choose Test Pattern to enable a 1080P color bar test pattern on that output. This is helpful in verifying the signal chain from Matrix to sync (display). To disable the test pattern, change the state back to Enabled (default).
Output Settings Video Scaling – The HDBaseT outputs can down-scale a 4K signal to 1080P. This scaling only changes the pixel density, it does not alter frame rate or colorspace. The other setting is ICT Mode (default), AVProEdge’s Invisible Compression Technology designed to work with a compatible AVProEdge HDBaseT Receiver (RX).
Output Settings Bitstream Audio – This is an enable/disable switch. By default Off

IR Continued:
IR NOTES (On the Matrix): 1. By default the IR IN is routed to the
corresponding HDBaseT Output number (ie. IR IN #1 –> HDBaseT
Output 1, IR IN #2 –> HDBaseT Output 2, etc…) 2. By default the IR OUT is
automatically routed with the active source (ie. If you are watching INPUT 3
on HDBaseT OUTPUT 1, when you point a remote at an IR Receiver on the HDBaseT
Rx connected the signal will be routed to IR OUT 3) 3. Each IR IN can be
routed in any way you like (One to one or one to many) by using the command
SET IRC EXT SW x1.x2.x3.x4 (See below). 4. Each IR OUT can be routed manually
as well using the command SET IRC OUTx VS INy.
IR NOTES (On the HDBaseT Receiver): 1. IR OUT = IR Emitter for sending signals
to a Display or Projector (Note – Use Provided Emitters) 2. IR IN = For
sending IR signals back to the Matrix for switching AND to send IR signals to
the IR OUT
on the Matrix – by default the IR OUT on the matrix is automatically routed
with the active source (ie. If you are watching INPUT 3 on HDBaseT OUTPUT 1,
when you point a remote at an IR Receiver on the HDBaseT Rx connected the
signal will be routed to IR OUT 3)
41
RS-232 and TCP/IP Control:
The AC-MX-88HDBT can be controlled with either RS-232 or TCP/IP commands.
Certain switching or format configurations can only be done using these
commands. We recommend using either the MyUART (RS-232 – free) or Hercules
(TCP/IP – free) apps as they are very easy to use for sending commands to the
machine. For TCP/IP control commands use Telnet Port 23. For RS-232, use a
null modem serial cable adapter and set the serial communications to:
57600,n,8,1 (baud: 57600, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit) with no
handshaking. Please add a return (Enter key) after each command when using
direct commands. The unified command list (ASCII) is listed on the following
pages. Text version available here, and under the resources tab of on the
products web page.

HDBaseT lights: LINK
These ports are HDBaseT Transmitters (TX) and are designed to be connected via
a Category cable (Cat6 or better) to an HDBaseT Receiver (RX).
NOTE: Non AVPro HDBaseT Receivers may work but ICT (our Invisible Compression
Technology) will not. This means higher bandwidth signals (greater than
10.2Gbps) will not pass as this requires ICT. See Band-
width chart on Page 50.
LINK – Above RJ45 (HDBT) Port: (Green) This indicator shows that the AV HDBT
link between the Tx and Rx is in tact. This light should ALWAYS be SOLID. If
this light is flashing or not present attempt following:
1. Check the length. The maximum distances are 70m (230ft) on 4K and 100m
(330ft) on 1080P. 2. Remove any coils of cable and make sure that there is not
excess cabling. 3. Bypass all patch panels and punch-down blocks. 4. Re-
terminate connectors. Sometimes, even if a cable tester indicates the run is
valid, something
may be slightly off. a. Standard RJ45 ends are recommended. Pass through style
types can cause interference/crosstalk
5. Contact AVProEdge if these suggestions do not work.

present attempt following:
1. Check the length. The maximum distances are 70m (230ft) on 4K and 100m
(330ft) on 1080P. 2. Remove any coils of cable and make sure that there is not
excess cabling. 3. Bypass all patch panels and punch-down blocks. 4. Re-
terminate connectors. Sometimes, even if a cable tester indicates the run is
valid, something
may be just slightly off. 5. Standard RJ45 ends are recommended. Pass through
style types can cause interference/crosstalk 6. Try powering from the Receiver
instead of the Transmitter (See Receiver page for more about PoE
direction). 7. Contact AVProEdge if these steps do not work.

Command List Continued:
Extracted Audio:
The extracted audio ports have three distinct operating modes. Your desired
mode can be set to suite your particular installation. The 3 modes are: Bind
to Input ~ This is the default configuration. In this mode the audio port
number corresponds to the INPUT signal. This is ideal for systems where audio
is matrixed separately in a zoned amplifier. Bind to Output ~ This
configuration will automatically have the audio follow OUTPUT, so the audio
from the extracted port always matches the HDMI output. This is ideal for
systems that use local AVR’s for some of the zones. Independent/Matrix ~ This
mode allows you matrix the extracted audio outputs independent of HDMI. In
this mode a new set of commands becomes available to be able to route audio
however you want. This can be used as a separate zoned audio matrix with only
using an amplifier. Setting up Extracted Audio Routing: You can set up
Extracted Audio Routing from the front panel, Web, Driver or by sending the
following command:
SET EXAMX MODEx — Where {x=[0~2](0=Bind To Output,1=Bind To Input,2=Matrix} If
you set to “Matrix” you can use the following command to route the 16
extracted audio ports to any INPUT:
SET OUTx AS INy — Where Set Ex-Audio Output x To Input y{x=0~8,
y=[1~8]} Balanced 5 pin 2Ch and Toslink Audio Port /SPDIF – This matrix has
down-mixing built in. What this means is both the SPDIF and 5 ping ports will
ALWAYS be down-mixed to 2Ch.
48
Audio Output Logic and Cable Prep:
You can extract audio from Toslink or balance 2CH Audio. Audio outputs are
automatically down-mixed to 2CH. 2CH Balanced Audio Port – Supports 2CH PCM
audio only, which is ideal for 2 Channel systems and zoned audio systems. No
Down-mixing on this version, see AC-AXION-XAVDM. Toslink Audio Port – Just
like the balanced 2CH ports, the Toslink extracted audio ports are down-mixed
to 2CH. You can use balanced analog outputs in a balanced system, but you can
also prep a cable as shown below to convert to a traditional 2CH unbalanced
(L/R) system. You can also purchase pre-made cables (AC-CABLE-5PIN-2CH) eight
of these are included in the box when purchased.

Obsolescence is defined as: “Peripherals are rendered obsolete when current
technology does not support product repair or re-manufacture. Obsolete
products cannot be re-manufactured because advanced technologies supersede
original product manufacturer capabilities. Because of performance, price and
functionality issues, product redevelopment is not an option.”
Discontinued or out of production items will be credited at fair market value
towards a current product of equal or comparable capabilities and cost. Fair
market value is determined by AVPro Edge.

limitation, warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose. If AVPro Global Holdings LLC cannot lawfully disclaim or exclude
implied warranties under applicable law, then all implied warranties covering
this product, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, shall apply to this product as provided under applicable
law. This warranty supersedes all other warranties, remedies and conditions,
whether oral or written, express or implied.
