Compact Size Matrix Concept
MMX4x2 series device is a multifunctional audio/video matrix switcher with four inputs and
two outputs. The HT200 model is built with HDBaseT
TM
(TPS) technology. The device can be
controlled over various interfaces, e.g. Ethernet, USB, RS-232, and Infrared. The matrix is built
with audio embedder and de-embedder functions.
Only MMX4x2-HT200 model has TPS input. MMX4x2-HDMI model has HDMI + analog
audio input and HDMI + analog audio outputs.
Connect the matrix and the source devices (e.g. Blu-ray player) using the
HDMI inputs and HDMI cables.
Connect the sink devices to the HDMI output port by HDMI cables.
Optionally for analog output connect an audio device (e.g. audio amplier) to
the analog audio output port by an audio cable.
Optionally for audio extension: connect the audio source (e.g. media player)
to the audio input port by an audio cable.
Optionally for Infrared extension:
Connect the IR emitter to the IR OUT port of the matrix, and/or
Connect the IR detector to the IR IN port of the matrix.
Optionally connect the matrix to a LAN in order to control the device.
Optionally for RS-232 extension: connect a controller/controlled device (e.g.
touch panel) to the RS-232 port.
Connect the power adaptor to the DC input on the matrix rst, then to the
AC power socket.
Powering on the devices is recommended to do as the nal step during the installation.
