Frequently Asked Questions - AT-PRO2HD88M Atlona

How do I connect the AT-PRO2HD88M?
Connect HDMI sources to the HDMI inputs (1-8). Connect CAT5e/6 cables from the RJ45 outputs to HDBaseT receivers (e.g., AT-PRO2HDREC). Use the included power adapters for main and backup power. Ensure cables are terminated with 568B standard.
How can I control the matrix switcher?
You can control it via the front panel buttons, the included IR remote control, or RS-232 commands. Additionally, 3rd party IR controllers can be connected to the IR input ports.
What is EDID and how do I manage it?
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) tells the source what resolutions and audio formats the display supports. The AT-PRO2HD88M has 12 internal EDIDs and can copy EDIDs from connected displays. To set EDID: press FUNCTION, select EDID, then copy from an output or load an internal EDID to an input.
How do I update the firmware?
Use a Windows PC. Unplug power, hold CANCEL while plugging power back in, connect USB B cable to computer. The matrix appears as a USB drive. Delete existing file, copy new firmware file into the drive, then unplug and restart. Verify update via front panel (FUNCTION > 8). Note: Mac computers are not supported.
How do I reset to factory settings?
With the matrix in standby (power LED red), press and hold buttons 1 and 4 while powering on. The matrix will reset to default settings. Alternatively, use RS-232 command 'Mreset'.
Can I embed audio from a DVI source?
Yes. Connect a DVI source using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter. Then connect a 3.5mm stereo audio cable to the corresponding audio input port on the matrix. The audio will be embedded and sent over the HDBaseT connection to the display.
How do I use IR control with a 3rd party controller?
Connect a mono 3.5mm IR cable from the 3rd party controller to the Matrix IR IN port. To send IR to displays in a zone, connect an IR emitter to the corresponding IR OUT port. Use mono-to-mono cables (not stereo).
What RS-232 commands are available?
Common commands include: 'x1AVx2' to switch input x1 to output x2, 'All#' to mirror all inputs to outputs, 'SaveY' to save route to memory Y, 'RecallY' to recall, and 'Mreset' to reset. All commands are case-sensitive and end with carriage return.
What is the maximum cable length for HDBaseT?
Up to 100 meters (328 feet) for 1080p and 1920x1200 resolutions using CAT5e/6/7 cable with 568B termination. For HDMI direct connection, the maximum is 10 meters (30 feet).
Is HDCP supported?
Yes, the AT-PRO2HD88M is HDCP compliant. This allows playback of protected content from Blu-ray players, cable boxes, and other HDCP sources.

    H --> I["Feedback = "Memory # loaded""]

EDID Set Up

When the matrix is completely connected and turned on it will load the default EDID, which is the highest common native resolution of the devices. (i.e. In the diagram below the default would be 720p with 2ch audio. Multi-channel audio and 3D are not enabled on internal mode, unless all devices have these features.)

    B -->|720p-2ch Output 2| F["Computer"]
    B -->|1080p-Dolby TrueHD (3D) Output 3| G["Computer"]

On default, all devices in the diagram will work at 720p. If a device is not syncing or a different resolution is required, internal EDID or EDID copy and load should resolve these issues. The PRO2HD can copy up to 8 EDIDs to memory.

Step 1: copy an EDID

Before an EDID can be loaded to an input, it must first be copied to the matrix's memory. Each display's EDID can be saved individually to one of the matrix's four preset EDID memories.

    K["ENTER"] --> L["Feedback= \n-> "Saved port # EDID to\nMemory # [Failed/Passed"]"]

Step 2: load a copied EDID onto an input

Once EDIDs have been copied to memory they can be loaded to a specific input.

Note: (refer to the diagram on page 9) Using the EDID of output 3 with input 1 will enable 1080p, 3D, and Dolby TrueHD to pass. Output 2 will receive no audio or video and output 1 will receive no audio with these settings.

Step 3: Load an internal EDID on an input

If the first two steps don't produce the correct resolution or audio configuration, the twelve internal EDIDs should resolve the issue.

RS-232 Set Up

To set up the RS-232 hyperterminal (if not using 3rd party software) the first thing needed is to find the RS-232 communications port under the computer's device manager. Once there right click the port and select properties. Under the properties menu select the port settings tab and update the menu to the matrix default: Bits Per Second: 115200, Data Bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bits: 1 and Flow Control: None.

Baud Rate

To change the baud rate of the matrix or the receivers (i.e. AT-PRO2HDREC) an RS-232 hyperterminal will be needed. Once the RS-232 hyperterminal is set up changing the baud rate will be done with a command line. The baud rate for the matrix is for matrix control and the receiver baud rate is for control of the RS-232 device in the zone being altered.

Note: Baud Rate must be only 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200

Command for Matrix baud rate

CSpara[baudrate, data-length, parity, stop-bit] (data, parity, and stop for matrix must be 8,0,1)

For example if you wish to change the baud rate to 38400 the command would look like this:

CSpara[38400,8,0,1]

Command for Receiver baud rate status

RS232para

The RS-232 status command will provide feedback for the current parameters for each output.

Example: (See example of feedback below)

RS232para

Current RS232 parameter:

  • Port 1 :BaudRate 2400bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 2 : BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity ODD, StopBits 1.
  • Port 3 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 4 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 5 :BaudRate 19200bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 6 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 7 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 8 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 9 :BaudRate 38400bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 10 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 11 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 12 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 13 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 14 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
  • Port 15 :BaudRate 57600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 2.
  • Port 16 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.

Note: Default for the outputs is: Baud-9600bps, Data length-8bit, Parity-None, Stop Bit-1

The ability to check baud rate status on the outputs will help to identify control compatibility for in zone RS-232 devices.

Command for Receiver (output zone) baud rate

RS232paraX[baudrate,data-length,parity,stop-bit]

X represents the zone# (output#), the data length must be 7 or 8, partity bit will be 0 for none, 1 for odd, 2 for even, and the stop-bit must be 1 or 2.

For example if you wish to change the baud rate to 19200, data length 8, ODD parity, and 1 stop-bit on the receiver in zone 6 to 19200 the command would look like this:

RS232para6[19200,8,1,1]

Updating and Resetting

Updating firmware

At times there will be new firmware to update, fix, or change functionality of products. Atlona has made this as easy as possible for updating on the job by simply downloading from Atlona.com and uploading the file onto the matrix.

NOTE: Only use a Windows computer to update the matrix. Use of an Apple computer to update will cause the matrix to be unusable until the update is redone with a Windows computer.

Needs:

  • Verify the current firmware version
    • PC (not compatible with MACs)
    • OS that supports USB mass storage devices
    • USB A to USB B cable (i.e. AT11008)

To view the current firmware. Function option is "8" (PRO2HD88M) / "16" (PRO2HD1616M)

Preparing the Matrix:

  • Unplug the power cable.
  • Hold the Cancel button while plugging the power back in.
  • Connect the USB B to USB A cable into the Matrix and the Computer.

Updating the Matrix:

The computer should auto detect the connection, if it does not, open the USB device from my computer.

  • Click open in a new folder. (if auto run detects connection)
  • Delete the file in the folder. (there should be only one file, if more delete all files)
  • Copy and Paste the new firmware file into the USB folder.
  • Unhook the Matrix from the computer.
  • Unplug the power cable from the AT-PRO2HD
  • Replug the power and start the matrix normally. Your update should be complete

If you wish to verify the new firmware, press function then button 8/16 and it will display

Resetting to factory settings

Atlona understands that settings can be troublesome and at times its just easier to set things back to factory settings. To make things easier a simple one step reset was created.

To reset the matrix, hold down the buttons 1 and 4 while powering on. If done correctly the matrix will be back to factory settings when it turns on.
