Operating Notes

• EDID contains the A/V capabilities of a display device in regards to video resolutions and audio formats supported. This information is used by the source device to determine the format of the A/V signal on the outputs. The GefenToolBox 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI incorporates advanced EDID management to ensure compatibility with all sources and display devices.
• The GefenToolBox 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI can detect the presence of Deep Color (12-bit signal) automatically and will disable Deep Color EDID features across all other outputs if any connected device or display is not capable of processing Deep Color. This automatic behavior ensures compatibility among all output devices in a mixed-device environment. This feature cannot be disabled.
• When powering the GefenToolBox 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI or if the EDID mode is changed, the matrix will undergo a momentary initialization sequence. This is normal operation and may take a few seconds.
• The best way to operate and configure this unit is to use the built-in Web interface, which can be accessed by entering the IP address of the matrix into the address bar of any Web browser. See the section RS-232 and IP Configuration for more information about this feature.

Routing Basics

Determining the Current Routing State

On the bottom-left portion of the matrix, there are four rows of four LED indicators. The top row of LED indicators displays the routing state of Out 1. The next row displays the routing state of Out 2, and so on. A row of numbers (1 - 4) is printed above the four rows of LED indicators. Each LED indicator represents an input (In 1 - In 4) on the matrix. The LED indicator for the currently selected input will glow solid green.

Routing Inputs to Outputs

To the left of each row of LED indicators, there are two push-buttons labeled Out 1 and Out 2. To change the routing state of an output, press and release the button of the desired output to advance to the next input.

In the example below, the source connected to In 1 is currently routed to Out 2.

To change the routing state and route In 2 to Out 2, press and release the Out 2 button.

To route the another source to Out 2, consecutively press and release the Out 2 button until the desired input is selected.

Once In 4 is selected for any of the outputs, pressing the Out button again will return to In 1.

Using the IR Remote Control Unit

The IR remote control unit provides discrete routing between each input and output. There are a total of 16 buttons on the IR remote. The buttons are color-coded in groups of four. Each set of buttons controls the routing for each output. Buttons 1 - 4 select which input (In 1 - In 4) is routed to Out 1, buttons 5 - 8 select which input (In 1 - In 4) is routed to Out 2, and so on. Let's look at an example.

Currently, In 2 is routed to Out 1. In this example, we will route In 4 to Out 1.

1. Point the IR remote at the IR sensor on the top panel of the matrix.
2. Since we want to control the routing state of Out 1, we need to use the first set of four buttons on the IR remote control. Press button 4 on the IR remote control.
3. The LED indicator on the IR remote will flash bright yellow, indicating that a button on the IR remote was pressed.

1. The LED indicator for In 4 will glow bright green, indicating that the input has been routed to Out 1 (shown above).

Routing Basics

Using the IR Extender

There may be situations where the IR sensor is blocked by a cabinet or other mounting device. In this case, an IR extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) can be connected to the IR port on the matrix. The sensor on the IR extender behaves exactly like the sensor on the top panel of the matrix. Always point the IR remote control unit at the IR sensor.

Switching Modes

What is Fast Switching Technology?

Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI products. FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specifications.

FST provides quicker audio/video source switching and greatly improves the overall audio/video system behavior and performance when more than one HDTV display is used in the system setup.

FST allows connecting / disconnecting or turning ON / OFF of HDTV displays without having these activities affect other Hi-Def sources routed to any other HDTV display in the same system.

Fast Mode vs Slow Mode

Use fast switching mode to improve performance when connecting / disconnecting Hi-Def sources, and powering ON / OFF HDTV displays.

Use slow mode when the source does not support multiple devices. When set to slow switching mode, the 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI will follow the standard authentication process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specifications.

Selecting the FST Mode

1. Use a paper clip or other pointed object to press and release the recessed FST button, to toggle between Fast and Slow modes.
2. The LED indicator will display the current FST mode.

Audio Modes

The 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI provides the capability to switch between 2-channel and multichannel audio output.

NOTE: In order for the audio channel mode to be selected, the EDID switch must be set to the Int position. If the EDID switch is set to the Ext position, then the Audio switch will have no effect on the audio output signal. See EDID Modes for more information on using the EDID.

Selecting the Audio Mode

Use this audio mode when all displays (and/or other sink devices) support only 2-channel LPCM audio.

1. Use a paper clip or other pointed object to press and release the recessed Audio button, to toggle between 2-channel and multichannel audio modes.
2. The LED indicator will display the current audio mode.

Supported audio formats

Audio Format Audio Format
LPCM 2CH LPCM 8-channel
Dolby® Digital Dolby® Digital Plus
Dolby® TrueHD DTS®
DTS-HD Master AudioTM MLP (PPCM)

NOTE: When the Audio Mode is set the 2CH, the internal EDID will restrict the audio output to 2-channel LPCM, regardless of the audio input format.

EDID Modes

The 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI features EDID Management. Before the source can send video and/or audio to the display (sink), the source reads the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) from the display (sink) devices connected to the matrix. The EDID contains information about what type of audio/video data that the source can send to each display device. The matrix can use either the downstream EDID (from the display/sink), the built-in internal EDID, or a custom EDID setting.

Available Modes

- Internal EDID

Use this EDID mode if problems are encountered when using the external EDID. The built-in internal EDID provides the source device with a “generic” EDID which can be used by all display (sink) devices. The use of the internal EDID also provides control of the audio output format.

- External EDID

When set to Ext mode, EDID data will be fetched from each display (or other sink device) that is connected to the outputs of the matrix. Once this information is gathered, the matrix "builds" an EDID based on the highest video and audio formats that are supported by all sink devices. This EDID is then transmitted to each source device.

- Custom EDID

When set to Custom mode, the matrix will use a customized EDID configuration selected by the user. For example, each input can be individually set to different EDID modes to suit the needs of each input.

Selecting the EDID Mode

1. Use a paper clip or other pointed object to press and release the recessed EDID button, to toggle between internal, external, and custom EDID modes.
2. The LED indicator will display the current EDID mode.

See Table 2.1, on the next page, for specifications on the internal EDID.

The 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI supports IP-based control using Telnet, UDP, or the built-in Web-based GUI. To set up IP control, the network settings for the 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI must be configured via RS-232. The default network settings for the matrix are as follows:

Description IP Address / Port Description IP Address / Port

IP Address	192.168.1.72	UDP Port	23
Subnet	255.255.255.0	Local UDP Port	50007
Gateway	192.168.1.254	Remote UDP IP	192.168.1.255
HTTP Port	80	Remote UDP Port	50008

1. Connect an RS-232 cable from the PC to the 4K Ultra HD 4x4 Matrix for HDMI. Also make sure that an Ethernet cable is connected between the matrix and the network.
2. Launch a terminal emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal) and use the RS-232 settings listed on the previous page.

NOTE: Depending upon the network, all related IP, Telnet, and UDP settings will need to be assigned. Consult your network administrator to obtain the proper settings.

1. Set the IP address for the matrix using the #sipadd command.
2. Set the subnet mask using the #snetmask command.
3. Set the gateway (router) IP address using the #sgateway command.
4. Set the Telnet listening port using the #set_telnet_port command.
5. Set the HTTP listening port using the #set_http_port command.
6. Set the UDP remote IP address for the matrix using the #set_udp_remote_ip command.
7. Set the UDP listening port for the matrix using the #set_udp_port command.
8. Set the UDP remote port for the matrix using the #set_udp_remote_port command.
9. Reboot the matrix to apply all changes, then type the IP address that was specified in step 3, in a Web browser to access the Web GUI. Use the same IP address to Telnet to the matrix.
