Introduction

The AC-AXION-4 is a high bandwidth audio/video matrix switcher. What makes this product unique is the ability to down-mix bitstream audio beyond 7 – 1 channel into a 2 Channel audio signal via all four inputs, including Dolby Atmos and DTS-X. This Matrix switcher's back-end interface has been completely redesigned from the ground up, allowing complete control through this Axion Web User Interface

In a multi-zoned distribution system, every zone can not handle full Dolby Atmos sound. Most zones are going to need 2 Channel audio. The AC-AXION-4 Matrix Switcher allows you to deliver 24+ channels to your Dolby Atmos home theater; simultaneously, it provides 2 Channel to the rest of the installation. We do this by allowing the down-mixing only to affect the de-embedded audio outputs. The four mirrored HDMI/HD-BaseT ports leave the audio unimpeded, enabling you to distribute full Dolby Atmos and DTS HD through them

Supporting the full HDMI 2.0 a/b specification and supporting every version of HDR, this matrix will ensure you can get the most out of any system

Controlling the AC-AXION-4 is not a problem with the AVPro Edge User Interface, as you can manage all the settings and controls. We also offer drivers for all the top control systems. The AC-AXION-4 will become a staple in your large demanding installations!

Front and Rear Panel Overview

Initial Setup: WebUI

The AC-AXION-4 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-4 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

Yellow flexible electrical plug with two metal rings (no text or symbols visible)

2 Connect the HDMI Input sources to the HDMI 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 48V power supply to power on 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 With the Axion 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-4 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.

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 Axion WebUI open, navigate to the I/O Config 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

19 Set the HDMI/HDBaseT Video Scaling if needed HDMI outputs can be upscaled (1080P signal up to 4k) and the HDBaseT outputs can be downscaled (4k signals down to 1080P)

20 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 2 CH, the next section Advanced Setup will cover the more advance settings

21 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

Two solid-colored circles, one green and one orange, on a dark background (no text or symbols)

22 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

23 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

24 Problems with a source or sync, see the Troubleshooting section for help on page 45

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 Config 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 drop-downs 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 2 CH, 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

Audio Mode - see Page 19 "Input Settings - Audio Mode" for more info

Advanced Setup: WebUI Output Settings

8 Now navigate to the Video Output Settings under I/O Config
9 In addition to the output Label (name/alias), there are 3 settings for each HDMI output and 3 settings for each HDBaseT output

10 Under State, you can enable/disable that port (turn that port on or off) and also enable a 1080P test pattern, the Video Scaling mode (HDMI you can choose to No Scaling or 1080P to 4k, HDBaseT you can choose ICT or 4K to 1080P), and you can Enable or Disable the Bitstream Audio (slider icon Green=ON, Red=OFF)

Advanced Setup: 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 2 CH audio

4 You can use the slider or text box to change the volume (settings are 0-100)

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

6 Delay (eight settings in 90 millisecond increments) None (default), 90, 180, 270, 360, 450, 540, and 630

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 This can also be controlled by the Web Interface

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)

RS-232 and TCP/IP Control:

The AC-AXION-4 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 Bandwidth chart on Page 50

LINK - Above RJ45 (HDBT) Port: (Green) (Green) This indicator shows that the AV HDBT link between the T and Rx is in tact. This light should ALWAYS be SOLID 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

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\~4, y=[1\~4]}

Balanced 5 pin 2 CH 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 2 CH

Audio Output Logic and Cable Prep:

You can extract audio from Toslink or balance 2 CH Audio. Audio outputs are automatically down-mixed to 2 CH.

2 CH Balanced Audio Port - Supports 2 CH PCM audio only, which is ideal for 2 Channel systems and zoned audio systems. No Down-mixing on this version, see AC-AXION-4-AVDM.

Toslink Audio Port - Just like the balanced 2 CH ports, the Toslink extracted audio ports are down-mixed to 2 CH.

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 2 CH unbalanced (L/R) system. You can also purchase pre-made cables (AC-CABLE-5PIN-2 CH) four of these are included in the box when purchased.

Troubleshooting

- Verify Power - Check that the power supply is properly connected and on an active circuit - Verify Connections - Check that all cables are properly connected

• TX/RX Indicator Troubleshooting Lights - Page(s) 40-41

- IR Issues - Verify correct connections - Page(s) 37-38 Note: Visibly flashing Emitters may not function properly, if you are experiencing issue try the IR Cables that are included in the box

- Lights indicate everything is good but still not getting a picture, this may be a bandwidth limitation. See Bandwidth Chart below to verify the signal is not exceeding the bandwidth of the Extender kit (limited to 10 2Gbps)
