Frequently Asked Questions - MSC-84-TCN Black Box
How do I connect the MSC-84-TCN to my display?
Connect each output to a compatible display using HDMI cables. For remote displays, use Cat5e/6 transmitters at the source and receivers at the display for distances up to 100 meters. Ensure all devices are powered on before switching inputs.
Can I control the matrix switch over the network?
Yes, the MSC-84-TCN features a 10/100 Ethernet port that allows control via a web interface or Telnet/SSH. Connect it to your LAN and set an IP address to manage inputs, outputs, and presets remotely.
What is the maximum cable distance for HDMI inputs?
Direct HDMI connections support up to 15 meters at 4K resolution. For longer distances, use CAT5e/6 extenders which can reach up to 100 meters. The matrix itself does not alter the signal distance beyond the HDMI spec.
Does the device support 4K HDR?
Yes, the MSC-84-TCN supports 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160 @60Hz) with HDCP 2.2. Full HDR10 and Dolby Vision pass-through are supported when the source and display also support these formats.
How do I switch between inputs using the front panel?
Use the input selection buttons on the front panel to choose which source appears on a selected output. Press the output button first, then the desired input button. The active configuration is shown on the LED status indicators.
Can I cascade multiple units for more outputs?
Yes, the matrix supports cascading. Connect an output of the first unit to an input of a second unit. This allows expansion up to 8 inputs and 8 outputs when two units are cascaded. Configuration is done via software control.
What should I do if there is no video signal at an output?
First, verify that the source is active and the HDMI cable is securely connected. Check the LED indicator for that output. Try a different input or output port to isolate the issue. If using extenders, ensure the baluns are powered and the Ethernet cable is properly terminated. Reset the device if the problem persists.
Is the unit hot-swappable?
Yes, the MSC-84-TCN is hot-swappable for both sources and displays. You can connect or disconnect devices without powering off the matrix. However, always use HDMI cables with proper shielding to avoid electrostatic discharge.
How do I update the firmware?
Download the latest firmware from the Black Box website. Connect a USB drive to the USB port or use the network interface to upload the file. Follow the on-screen instructions—do not power off during the update. Verify the version after the reboot.
What is the default IP address for network control?
The default IP address is 192.168.1.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You can change it via the initial setup menu after connecting to the device. Consult the quick start guide for details on accessing the web interface.
