⑥ Use remote or push the button to choose input source. Extra infrared receiver extension, IR emitter, RS232 port and Ethernet are supplied for remote control.
■ Operation
1. Front panel control
The HDTV-MX0404HE1 front panel control for switching inputs to the various outputs. There are four groups of LEDs for each output port. The LED lit on the position means that the output port selects this input as its source.
Page 5
User can control the HDMI route of the matrix by using the IR remote.
There are four group key pads for four output port. For each output port source selection, there are 4 number key and two arrow key. Press number key to select specific input port. Left arrow is to backward the input port, and right arrow
to forward input port.
3. IR extender control
User can use the IR receiver cable to change the IR receiver position.
If controlling the HDTV-MX0404HE1 through the 1/8” (3.5 mm) input jack on the rear panel, connect the IR cable directly to the matrix rear IR Ext socket.
Page 6
User can control the matrix via the IR call back system.
This function can be disabled or enabled.
Enable the function: press the output2 selection button and the output4 selection button at the same time for about 3 seconds. After all the output1
LEDs and the output2 LEDs flash once, the function is enabled.
Disable the function: press the output2 selection button and output4 selection button at the same time for about 3 seconds. After all the output1
LEDS and the output2 LEDS flash twice, the function is disabled.
5. IR system could control the sources from the sinks or control the sinks from sources.
Page 7
The matrix can not only extend the HDMI signal to HDMI receiver which is in remote rooms, but also can pass the IR signal through the IR system to the HDMI source or pass the IR signal from the HDMI source to the HDMI sink.
There are four IR emitter sockets for connecting IR TX cable. The IR TX signal is reversed to HDMI signal. That is, when user is watching the STB signal which is connected to input3, the IR signal will go to the IR_TX3 socket.
Because the each IR emitter socket is related to one HDMI input port. Be sure that the IR TX cable connected to the IR emitter socket and stick the IR emitter to the IR window of the HDMI source device which has been connect to the related input port. For example, STB connected to input1, and then if user wants to control the STB via the IR call back system, plug the IR TX jack to the IR emitter socket source1. And, stick the IR emitter near to the IR window of the STB.
There are four IR receiver sockets for connecting IR RX cable. The IR TX
signal is forward to HDMI signal.
Press the output1 selection button and output4 selection button at the same time for about 3 seconds. After all the output LEDS flash, the matrix go into the
Page 8
IR TX matrix switch mode. The each IR receiver socket is related to one HDBT output port. Be sure that the IR RX cable connected to the IR receiver socket and stick the IR emitter to the IR window of the HDMI sink device which has been connect to the related HDBT receiver. For example, HD LCD connected to HDBT receiver which connected the HDBT output1 of the HDTV- MX0404HE1, and then if user wants to control the HD LCD via the IR system, plug the IR RX jack to the IR receiver socket 1. And, stick the IR emitter near to the IR window of the HD LCD, go into IR TX matrix mode, press output1 button to select the first IR channel.
6. RS232 remote control.

Note: Use the direct UTP cable to connect with PC, or use cross cable to connect to the Ethernet switcher
A. When NETCTL run on PC at the first time, it will create a file ‘NETCTL.TXT’. This file is for device information’s backup. These information include MAC address of
MX0404-HE1, IP address, device name etc.
Double click NETCTL.exe to run NETCTL. It will search the device. If the device is a new one, NETCTL will list it‘s IP address. If IP address appears, please click the button . NETCTL will change the IP address to device name.
If you want to change the device name. Right-click the device name. A pull down menu will be displayed. Click the item ‘Rename’ to rename it’s name.
B. Double click the device name, or click right button and click the ‘open’. A web browser will be shown. The default password is "0000000000", input the password and login. The
device controller page will be displayed.
Page 12
The right area is for device controlling. Click these buttons to control the device. It is the same as using the COM controller. The left area shows which input ports are being chosen by the output ports.
C. When ‘Assign IP’ is displayed, it means that the device has not been assigned IP automatically. Double click this item. Or click right button and click ‘Assign IP’ on the pull down menu. You can assign the IP address in the Assign IP dialog.
Page 13
Click OK after assign the new IP and to return to the previous dialog. Click and. The device can be displayed correctly.
ATTENTION：here assign IP is different from Set IP in COMCTL. Set IP in COMCTL is save the
IP address in flash, when the MX0404 power on, it will read the IP from flash and set it as static IP. Assign IP function used when automatically obtain IP address failed. This assigned IP address is not save in flash.
Switch for EDID setting. (Factory default setting: DIP in ‘010’ mode, EDID
are all 1080p and stereo.)

Note1: Copy the EDID data to the input port according to the matrix route status. It will copy the EDID data from the output number port. For example, when output-3 selects input-1, after pressing and holding the
Output 3 button for 3 seconds, it will copy the output-3’s EDID to input-1.
Note2: The matrix will use the embedded 1080p-stereo 3D EDID when the DIP switch is in this mode. The EDID will be 1080p 3D video and stereo audio. The EDID data will only be updated when powering on the
matrix.
