INTRODUCTION

The HDR-ULTRA is a High Definition video router that enables users to route HD signals up to 425 feet over CAT 5e/6 cables, providing the ultimate solution to create clean and efficient video and digital signage systems in configurations up to 16x16.

Pristine high definition video has become the standard for entertainment, video systems and digital signage, but HD video routing has been confined by the necessity of short, bulky and unsightly cables. The HDR-ULTRA, utilizing HDBaseT technology, breaks the distance limits that have tethered users as it facilitates the routing of crystal clear 1080p HD video, multi-channel audio, Ethernet, IR and power up to an incredible 425 feet through the use of inexpensive CAT 5e/6 cables. With unprecedented flexibility and convenience, the HDR-ULTRA is overhauling the old challenges of HD Matrix routers with an elegant and easy-to-install solution.

The HDR-ULTRA can direct as many as 16 HD inputs and 16 HD outputs effortlessly. Routing HD signals across long distances from the user-friendly HDR-ULTRA exponentially increases users' ability to create the ideal digital video and audio experience in any environment.

CONTROLLING THE HDR-ULTRA

There are multiple ways to control the HDR8X8/HDR16X16:

• Front panel
• SmartControl software
  • RS-232 commands
  • TCP-IP module (NET-IP-Pro)

Front Panel

The HDR ULTRA front panel enables one to switch directly from the Matrix without the use of any software. Its LCD (40x4) offers detailed information about the status of the switch at any given moment.

SmartControlPro Software

SmartControlPro is the Windows® GUI application that enables users to control SmartAVI matrixes using graphic user interface without having to write the codes and send serial commands to the devices. The software enables configuration of the size and type of the Matrix, including a preset defined at macro. The software also enables identification by name for each source and display.

RS-232 Commands

There are two primary modes of operation for the RS-232 control of the HDR-ULTRA: Command Mode and Debug Mode. When connecting to the HDR-ULTRA via RS-232, it will start in Command Mode, in which raw commands are allowed to be sent matrix to control its various functions without the use of a menu or prompt. This mode is intended for advanced Debug mode is a more user-friendly way of operating the HDR-ULTRA and it also includes instructional menus.

TCP/IP Control (NET-IP-Pro)

Net-IP-Pro gives the user full control of the matrixes from anywhere in the world through this advanced new web browser software. It enables multiple users to control and configure the Matrix, including names of sources, names of displays, IP address and low level features of the Matrix. The Net-IP-Pro enables the support of telnet for easy integration with other control systems.
