To save macros in a separate file for a special purpose, select the File/Save Macros...menu.

Optional Control Methods

IR: Many system professionals prefer the IR control interface because it offers greater flexibility to manage the HDR8X8/HDR16X16 at a distance. In some cases, the displays will not be visible from the matrix. In these situations it is necessary to control the matrix with Infrared control.

RS-232: Controlling the HDR8X8/HDR16X16 has never been simpler with SmartControl software. With SmartControl, you can assign a unique name to each port on the HDR8X8/HDR16X16, as well as each display, customizing projects to meet your needs. Although all the functions of the matrix are available locally on the front panel of the HDR8X8/HDR16X16, using SmartControl allows for customization of all the matrix functions.

TCPIP (SMTCP): Remote control is essential to real-time management of the HDR8X8/HDR16X16. SmartAVI's SMTCP module is the perfect solution to effective remote management. Simply connect the SMTCP module to the HDR8X8/HDR16X16 and connect from anywhere on the internet. When you need to make a change, but can't be there in person, the SMTCP makes remote control a snap.

Using the IR Remote Control (optional)

You have the option of controlling the HDR8X8/HDR16X16 via Remote Control. The remote is used to control the HDR8X8/HDR16X16. The SM-EYE must be connected to the HDR8X8/HDR16X16 (this is an optional connector not always available in all boxes) in order to interface the remote control with the matrix. The way the remote control the matrix is as follows:

Xxyy

When XX is the output, YY is the input

To change the routing of the signals,

For example, to set output 3 to input 2 press "0" + "3" + ENTER, then press "0" + "2" + ENTER. If a wrong button is pressed, the user must either press the ESC button or wait 5 seconds before restarting the sequence.

Using RS-232 Control (continued)

Command Mode: Command Mode allows raw commands to be sent to the HDR8X8/ HDR16X16 to control its various functions without the use of a menu or prompt. This mode is intended for advanced use only.

There are two types of commands that you can issue the HDR8X8/HDR16X16: Commands with CHECKSUM and Commands without CHECKSUM. The CHECKSUM is a method of error correction that ensures the command has been properly transmitted to the HDR8X8/HDR16X16. However, it is not necessary to perform the CHECKSUM in most cases.

Commands with CHECKSUM begin with // Commands without CHECKSUM begin with \

e.g. to set video input 3 to output 12 on a router with frame address "0"
send the command: //F00M12I03<0x42>
2) To set RS-232 crosspoint:
//FxxRyyIzz
3) To disconnect RS-232 crosspoint:
//FxxDyyIzz
4) To set new frame address:

Using RS-232 Control (continued)

Command Mode continued:

5) To query crosspoints from PC:

//FxxU<CHK><CR> 

• If all outputs are connected to input 1 then a 4x4 Matrix will respond with <0x80><0x80><0x80><0x80>
• The router will send back one byte for each output and the string ends with a . The first byte sent is Output #1. In the example above, since there are 5 bytes total, we know that there are 4 outputs.
• To calculate the input number, the router sends the input number with the 7th bit set.

0x80 = "1000 0000" input 0 

0x81 = "1000 0001" input 1 

0x8F "1000 1111" input 15 

Notes:

When successful, commands #1-4 will acknowledge by sending the checksum with nibbles swapped & e.g. checksum of 0x24 acknowledges with <0x42>

IMPORTANT

CALCULATING THE

stands for CHECKSUM: the value is calculated by performing an XOR of the full command string. For example: //F00M12I03 will XOR to the hexadecimal value 0x42, therefore the value of is 0x42.

Controlling the SMTCP-2 via HTTP

Once you have completed the Initial Setup for the SMTCP-2, you can now begin configuring it for your matrix. The following details the individual menu options in the web interface:

Matrix Menu

The matrix menu allows you to set the crosspoints for the matrix. Crosspoints are used to route signals from the individual inputs to individual outputs. The output channels can only have one input, but each input can have several outputs.

Example shown in diagram:

Input 1 to Outputs 3,4,5

Input this to Outputs 6,7,8

Input test to Output 1

Input 6 to Output 2

The Matrix Preset option allows you to save and recall crosspoint configurations with the push of a button. To save a preset, simply configure your crosspoints and press the SAVE button next to the desired preset. To recall a preset, simply click on the button with its name. To edit the preset names, see the Device Config menu.

Frame Address Menu

Frame Address: Current Address: 0 Change Current to: 0 Submit

The frame address menu allows you to set the frame address of the current matrix switch. Frame addresses allow commands to be sent to different matrixes in series. For more information on the specific commands available, please see the instructions for your matrix switch.

Using the SMTCP module (continued)

Device Config Menu

Device Type: DVR 8x8 Input Names: 1: 1 2: this 3: is 4: a 5: test 6: 6 7: 7 8: 8 Output Names: System Reset Output Names: 1: 1 2: 2 3: 3 4: 4 5: 5 6: 6 7: 7 8: 8 Preset Names: 1: This is a test 2: 2 3: This is another 4: 4 5: 6: 6 7: 8: 8 9: 10: 10

The device configuration menu allows you to select the type of matrix you are using, specify the dimensions of the matrix, and assign names to the inputs, outputs and presets, reset the names and reset the system to factory defaults.

To begin, set the type of device you are using from the drop-down menu labeled Device Type and specify the Matrix Dimensions. After specifying the Matrix Dimensions, press the Submit button to make the changes.

Once the type of matrix is entered, you can assign names to each of your inputs, outputs and presets. The preset names are used in the Matrix Menu for quick storage and retrieval of matrix configurations. Leaving a preset blank will exclude it from the Matrix Menu.

Network Setting Menu

Network Configuration: Use DHCP: IP Address: IP Mask: Gateway: Submit

The network setting menu allows you to assign a static IP address to the SMTCP-2. It is recommended that you statically assign an IP address to avoid any future conflict or connectivity issues with DHCP.

Using the SMTCP module (continued)

User Administration Menu

Administration: User Name: Admin Password: ••••• Retype Password: Submit

The User Administration menu allows you to change the user name and password for the SMTCP-2. The default user name for the SMTCP-2 is Admin and the password is Pass. Once you modify the login information, press the Submit button to make the changes.

Controlling the SMTCP-2 via TELNET

Commands may be sent transparently to the matrix via a TELNET connection to the SMTCP-2. To use this function, use a telnet client such as Hyperterminal or PuTTY to connect to the IP address of the SMTCP-2. You will be prompted for a username and password - this will be the same as the login information via HTTP. Once logged in, the SMTCP-2 is ready to accept the standard RS-232 commands. For a list of the available commands, please see the user manual for the matrix you are using. Although the commands are not echoed to the client display, the commands are being issued to the matrix. Should you need commands to be echoed, please see the instructions for your TELNET client.

Upgrading the SMTCP-2

To upgrade the SMTCP-2 with the latest firmware, contact your sales representative to obtain the firmware upgrade file or visit the SMTCP-2 product page at www.smartavi.com. The version information is listed on the Main Menu. Once you have the file, use an FTP client, preferably TFTP, to navigate to the IP address of the SMTCP-2. Touload the file to the SMTCP-2, navigateto the /var/directory, and upload the file firmware.img - IMPORTANT: the file MUST BE NAMED firmware.img for the upgrade to work properly. Again, the full path MUST BE /var/firmware.img. Once the file has been copied, restart (power off and power on) the SMTCP-2. Once restarted the firmware update will be installed. To verify the upgrade, see the version information listed on the Main Menu.

Using the SMTCP module (continued)

Connecting to the SMTCP-2 for the first time WITHOUT DHCP

The first time you connect the SMTCP-2, you will need to perform the following steps to set the initial configuration. This includes establishing an HTTP connection and manually setting the IP address for the SMTCP-2.
