Frequently Asked Questions - AC-MX-42 AVPro Edge

How do I update the firmware on the AC-MX-42?
Connect the matrix to your LAN, access the WebUI, go to System > Hardware, click Update Firmware. Enable Cloud Services first, then the device will check for updates OTA. If available, click UPDATE. You can also manually upload a firmware file.
What is the default IP address and how do I find it?
Default is DHCP enabled. To find the IP, connect via Micro USB or RS-232 and send command GET STA. Or scan your network for a device with MAC vendor 'AVPro Global Hldgs'. You can also set a static IP via the front panel by holding AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT for 5 seconds to toggle DHCP on/off, then use WebUI.
How do I set the EDID for an input?
Via WebUI: go to I/O Config > Input Settings, select the input, choose from 30 factory presets (e.g., 4K60Hz_3D_8CH_HDR) or copy EDID from an output (USER1). Click APPLY. Also via front panel: press and hold OUT1+OUT2 for 5 seconds, use OUT1 to select input, OUT2 to cycle EDID, hold OUT2 to apply.
Can I downscale 4K to 1080p?
Yes, only on HDMI Output 1. In WebUI under I/O Config > Video Output Settings, choose '4K to 1080P' for Output 1's Video Scaling. This downscales pixel density without changing frame rate or colorspace.
How do I extract audio from a specific output?
The extracted audio ports (Toslink and analog) can follow either HDMI Output 1 or 2. Press the AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT button on the front panel to toggle: LED off follows OUT1, LED on follows OUT2. Via WebUI, under I/O Config > Extracted Audio Output Settings, you can bind to OUT1 or OUT2 in Matrix mode.
What are the RS-232 settings for control?
Baud rate: 57600, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, no handshaking. Use a null modem cable. Commands are ASCII with a carriage return. Example: SET OUT1 VS IN2 routes Input 2 to Output 1.
How do I perform a factory reset?
In WebUI, go to System > Hardware and click FACTORY RESET. Alternatively, send command SET RST via RS-232/Telnet. Note: This erases all settings including labels and EDID selections.
What is the maximum HDMI cable length?
Using AVPro Edge 'Bullet Train' HDMI cables: up to 50 feet (15 m) for 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. With AOC (active optical) cables: up to 130 feet (40 m). Performance may vary with other cables.
Does the AC-MX-42 support Dolby Atmos?
Yes, Dolby Atmos is supported via HDMI output. However, the extracted Toslink output supports up to Dolby Digital Plus (5.1) and 7ch LPCM; the analog output is only 2ch PCM. For full Atmos, use HDMI directly to a compatible receiver.
How do I set up the WebUI securely?
In WebUI under System > Admin Web Interface, enable Secure and set a custom username/password (default admin/admin). You can also enable User Web Interface for limited access. Once enabled, only the Matrix tab is visible without login.

Introduction

The AC-MX-42 is a 4x2 HDMI matrix switch. Supporting HDMI 2.0(a/b), HDCP 2.3, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18Gbps bandwidth. This switch allows any source (Blu-ray, satellite receiver, game consoles, PCs, etc.) to show on any connected displays. In addition, this matrix equalizes and amplifies the output to ensure the HDMI signal will transmit through long HDMI cables without loss of quality.

The AC-MX-42 is ideal for bypassing AVRs that do not support full 18Gbps. Instead of bottlenecking video quality through a legacy audio device that can't handle 18Gbps. Integrators can run down-scaled video to a legacy audio device and send uncompressed HDMI to the display. Audio remains untouched on a down-scaled output, making it an ideal component for systems where high bit rate audio is critical.

Initial Setup: WebUI

The AC-MX-42 can be controlled using the Micro USB port, 3pin RS232, or over TCP/IP using the LAN connection. For initial setup it is recommended to connect the matrix to a local area network (LAN) and use a computer on the same network in conjunction with the built in WebUI. After making all the physical connections, the first step will be to check for any Firmware Updates. The below steps are an example of this setup, other control options are covered in separate sections of this user manual.

  1. Connect the HDMI Input sources to the HDMI Inputs on the back of the matrix.

  2. Connect the HDMI/devices to the HDMI Outputs.

  3. Connect the network LAN cable to the RJ45 port labeled IP CONTROL.

  4. Power on the sources (Inputs).

  5. Power on the Output devices/displays.

  6. Connect the 5V power supply to power on the matrix and then to a suitable power source.

  7. When powered on the AC-MX-42 default setting is DHCP Enabled. To view the IP address you can connect to the matrix via the Micro USB port or 3-Pin Terminal to a computer and send the command GET STA (see page[s] 32-33 for complete command list). This will reply with the current settings of the matrix including the IP address. If you can scan the network, the device will show up with a MAC Vendor labeled as "AVPro Global Hldgs".

  1. Now verify that the connections to the HDMI outputs. If detected the HDMI OUT tab will display some of the connected sync's EDID information like Manufacturer, Preferred Timing, and Deep Color Support. If these fields are blank verify that the sync devices are powered on and that the HDMI/HD cables are properly connected to the back of the matrix.

  2. With everything connected and powered on, green indicators across the applicable inputs and outputs, verify you are getting all of your sources on all of your displays.

  3. Problems with a source or sync, see the Troubleshooting section for help on page[s] 35.

Advanced Setup: WebUI Input Settings

After verifying good signal path from source to sync now it is time to go through the rest of the settings to maximize the setup. Starting with the input side with the EDID and Audio Mode settings.

  1. With the WebUI open, navigate to the I/O Config tab and focus on the Input Settings section at the top.
  2. Set the EDID on each input by selecting the resolution drop-down first (default is set to 1080P). The options are 1080P, 4K30Hz, 4K60Hz Y420, and 4K60Hz. If you select USER1 EDID, then the drop-downs change to allow you to select from and output to copy from. You can select any of the 4 HDMI outputs then click the COPY button. This will save that outputs EDID to the USER1 slot.
  3. Next use the drop-down to select NO 3D, or 3D depending on the displays capability.

NOTE: Currently the only resolution you can choose NO 3D for is 1080P.

  1. Next drop-down select either SDR (standard dynamic range) or HDR (High Dynamic Range).

  2. The fourth drop-down in the EDID section is for the audio, you can select 2CH, 6CH, or 8CH.

  3. Click the APPLY button to set the EDID.

RS-232 and TCP/IP Control:

The AC-MX-42 can be controlled with either RS-232 or TCP/IP commands. Certain switching or format configurations can only be done using these commands. We recommend using either the MyUART (RS-232 - free) or Hercules (TCP/IP - free) apps as they are very easy to use for sending commands to the machine.

For TCP/IP control commands use Telnet Port 23.

For RS-232, use a null modem serial cable adapter and set the serial communications to: 57600,n,8,1 (baud: 57600, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit) with no handshaking.

Please add a return (Enter key) after each command when using direct commands.

The unified command list (ASCII) is listed on the following pages. Text version available here, and under the resources tab of on the products web page.

Extracted Audio:

The extracted audio ports have three distinct operating modes. Your desired mode can be set to suite your particular installation.

The 3 modes are:

Bind to Input This is the default configuration. In this mode the audio port number corresponds to the INPUT signal. This is ideal for systems where audio is matrixed separately in a zoned amplifier.

Bind to Output \~ This configuration will automatically have the audio follow OUTPUT, so the audio from the extracted port always matches the HDMI output. This is ideal for systems that use local AVR's for some of the zones.

Independent/Matrix \~ This mode allows you matrix the extracted audio outputs independent of HDMI. In this mode a new set of commands becomes available to be able to route audio however you want. This can be used as a separate zoned audio matrix with only using an amplifier.

Setting up Extracted Audio Routing:

You can set up Extracted Audio Routing from the front panel, WebUI, Driver or by sending the following command:

$$ \text { SET EXAMX MODEx } \quad -- \text { Where } {x = [ 0 \sim 2 ] (0 = \text { Bind To Output }, 1 = \text { Bind To Input }, 2 = \text { Matrix } } $$

If you set to "Matrix" you can use the following command to route the 16 extracted audio ports to any INPUT:

$$ \text { SET OUTx AS INy } \quad -- \text { Where Set Ex - Audio Output } x \text { To Input } y {x = [ 0 \sim 4 ] (0 = \text { ALL }), y = [ 1 \sim 4 ] } $$

Balanced 5 pin 2Ch and Toslink Audio Port /SPDIF:

The SPDIF Toslink port supports up to 5.1 Ch Digital audio the L/R Analog audio supports 2 Ch audio only. This means in order for these ports to function the sources must be set to 2 Ch PCM, this unit does NOT down mix the audio (see AC-AXION-4 for down-mixing matrix). To get more than 2 Channels you will want to use the SPDIF port.

Troubleshooting

- Verify Power - Check that the power supply is properly connected and on an active circuit.

- Verify Connections - Check that all cables are properly connected.

- IR Issues - Verify correct connections - Page(s) 42 and 43

- Lights indicate everything is good but still not getting a picture, this may be a bandwidth limitation. See Bandwidth Chart below to verify the signal is not exceeding the bandwidth of the Extender kit (limited to 10.2Gbps).

Warranty

THE BASICS.

AVPro Edge warranties its products that are purchased from all Authorized AVPro Edge Resellers or direct purchases. Products are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects and of sound physical and electronic condition.

AVPro Edge has developed a warranty that anyone can get behind. We really wanted to take all the "red tape" out of a warranty and just make is simple. Our 10 YEAR NO BS warranty hinges on 3 elements.

  1. If you are having trouble, call us. We will attempt to troubleshoot your issue over the phone.

  2. If it's broke - We'll replace it in advance on our dime. (We'll cover return shipping too.) Repair is an option too, but it's YOUR call.

  3. We know you know what you are doing. We will not make you go through unnecessary steps to troubleshoot an extender...

COVERAGE DETAILS.

AVPro Edge will replace or repair (at customer choice) the defective product. If the product is out of stock or on back order it can either be replaced with a comparable product of equal value/feature set (if available) or repair.

Your warranty begins at receipt of product (as confirmed by shipping firm tracking). If tracking information is unavailable for any reason, the warranty will commence 30 ARO (After Receipt of Order). The coverage continues for 10 YEARS.

RED TAPE.

AVPro Edge is not responsible for untraceable purchases or those that were made outside of an authorized channel.

If we conclude that a product or serial number has been tampered with as identified by warranty seal or physical examination the warranty will be void. Additionally, excessive physical damage (beyond normal wear & tear) the warranty may be voided or pro-rated based on the extent of the damage as examined by an AVPro Edge representative.

Damage caused by "acts of God" are not covered. They can include natural disasters, power surges, storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, sink holes, typhoons, tidal waves, hurricanes, or any other uncontrollable event related to nature.

Damage caused by incorrect installation will not be covered. Incorrect power supply, inadequate cooling, improper cabling, inadequate protection, static discharge are examples of this.

Products installed or sold by a third party to AVPro Edge will be serviced by the Authorized AVPro Edge Reseller.

Accessories (IR Cables, RS-232, Power Supplies, etc...) are not included in the warranty. We will make acceptable effort to source and supply replacements for defective accessories at a discounted rate as needed.
