Introduction

The AC-MX-88 is an 8x8 HDMI matrix switch that supports HDMI 2.0(a/b), HDCP 2.3, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18 Gbps bandwidth. This switch allows any source (Blu-ray, UHD Blu-ray, satellite receiver, game consoles, PCs, etc ...) to show on any connected displays. This matrix equalizes and amplifies the output to ensure the HDMI signal transmits through long HDMI cables without losing quality.

Audio Delay is “On-Board” so integrators can manage lip-sync issues before they become a problem. Video signal management is also possible with built-in scalers. So, if the installation has a couple of older displays, integrators don’t need to forfeit 4K signals to pass the signal to all of the displays. In addition to scalers, this matrix supports complete EDID management, allowing maximum flexibility with today’s broad mixture of sources and displays.

Front and Rear Panel Overview

Initial Setup: WebUI

The AC-MX-88 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. With the AC-MX-88 placed into its new home (AV Rack, cabinet, table top) take a Phillips head screwdriver and attach the included yellow ground strap to the back of the chassis using the pre-installed screw, then attach the other end to a suitable grounded object.

Yellow flexible electrical fuse with two metal terminals (no text or symbols visible)

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 LAN (between the Micro USB and 3pin RS232 port).

4. Power on the sources (Inputs).

5. Power on the Output devices/displays.

6. Connect the 12V power supply to power on the matrix and then to a suitable power source.

1. In order to see the current IP settings, press and hold (for 3 seconds) INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously. This screen will change every 3 seconds showing additional settings (host, net mask, router IP).

NOTE: This screen starts with the current IP address of the matrix.

1. To Enable/Disable DHCP, press and hold INPUT 1 and INPUT 4 at the same time for 3 seconds. With the matrix connected to the local network, using a computer on the same network open up a web browser and type the HIP (Host IP Address) into the address bar to navigate to the WebUI.

2. With the WebUI open, navigate to System. Click on the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, this will open these documents in a new tab for review. Once read click on the boxes next to each to agree. When both are checked the switch for Enable Cloud Services will be selectable (will be red or disabled by default). Click to enable (the switch will turn green).

1. With the Cloud Services enabled under the Hardware section click the Update Firmware button to check for new Firmware OTA (over the air). This will compare the firmware versions currently loaded on the AC-MX-88 and compare to the latest available. If it is up to date, you will see a prompt stating "No update available!"

1. If an update is available, the following prompt will show. Simply click UPDATE.

2. If a new update is available a file will automatically be selected, simply click the UPLOAD button to load the firmware files to the Matrix. Uploading does not install the Firmware, that is the next step.

1. Once the firmware file has been uploaded, it will display all containing firmware files. Here you can select individual firmware files to load or simply leave all files/options selected. If the version currently installed is not newer (does not need to be updated), then that update will be skipped automatically. Click the UPLOAD button to start.

1. Once the progress bar hits 100% click the CLOSE button, the firmware upgrade process is complete.

1. With the Firmware up to date it's time to start setting up the matrix. With the AVPro Edge WebUI open, navigate to the I/O Config section. Label the applicable Inputs (Apple TV, Cable Box, Roku, etc) under the Input Settings - Label.
2. Label the Outputs (Living Room, Bedroom, Den, etc) under the Video Output Settings - Label
3. Set the HDMI Video Scaling if needed. HDMI outputs can down-scale a 4K signal to 2K (1080P) or down-scale a 4K 4:4:4 signal down to 4K 4:2:0.
4. With the system and all it's components powered up it's time to verify signal path from source to the sync. For now leave EDID settings to their default 1080P 2CH, the next section Advanced Setup will cover the more advance settings.

1. Use the Signal Indicator on the HDMI INPUTS. Green means HDMI source is detected, red means that

the source is not detected. If red verify that the input is powered on and that the HDMI cable is properly connected to the source and to the back of the matrix.

Two vertical panels with a green circle on the left and an orange circle on the right, both set against a dark background (no text or symbols)

1. Now verify that the connections to the HDMI outputs using the Signal indicator. Green means HDMI sync is detected, red means that the HDMI sync is not detected. If red 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 43.

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.

4. Verify you are still getting that source to all your displays and that the image looks correct.

NOTE: Some older displays may take an HDR signal and display correctly (ignoring the HDR Metadata) others will not ignore the HDR part of the signal and may display incorrectly.

1. Signal - The Signal Indicator on the HDMI INPUTS shows the current state of the connection HDMI source. Green means the HDMI source is detected, red means that the source is not detected. If red verify that source is powered on and that the HDMI cable is properly connected to the source and to the back of the matrix.

2. Global Input Settings (Applies to all inputs)

- Support Dolby MAT - Check this box to enable Dolby MAT audio

- Test Pattern 1080P - Enables a 1080P Colorbar test pattern on that port

- Test Pattern 4K - Enables a 4K Colorbar test pattern on that port

1. Under the Video Scaling mode you can choose to No Scaling (off), 4K to 1080P, or 1080P to 4K.

• Auto - Will automatically scale based on the connected syncs EDID
- No Scaling (Default) - Signal remains untouched
• 4K to 1080P - Down-scales any 4K signal down to 1080P

- 4:4:4 to 4:2:0 - Will convert any 4K Signal (with a Video Clock above 500MHz) with YUV 4:4:4 and convert it to YUV 4:2:0.

1. Signal - The Signal Indicator on the HDMI outputs shows the current state of the connected HDMI device. Green means HDMI signal is detected, red means that the signal is not detected. If red verify that the HDMI cable is properly connected to both the matrix and HDMI sync device.

Advanced Setup: WebUI Extracted Audio Output Settings

1. Now navigate to the Extracted Audio Output Settings under I/O Config.

2. The extracted audio ports have 3 distinct operating modes, use the drop-down at the top to select. The three options are.

Bind to Input (Default) - where 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 the audio will automatically follow the HDMI output. This is ideal for systems that use local AVR's for some of the Zones.

Matrix - This mode allows you to matrix the extracted audio ports independently from the HDMI outputs. In this mode you there will be a Tab for the extracted audio under the Matrix page, allowing you to route the audio just like routing the video. If the matrix is set to Bind to Input or Bind to Output this tab will not be visible.

1. Other available settings for the extracted audio ports include Enable/Disable, Volume control (1-100), EQ presets (7 generic preset options to choose from), Left/Right balance, and audio delay. Each of these 5 settings can be changed per extracted audio port.

NOTE: The balanced 5pin and Toslink ports are mirrored and always down-mixed to 2CH audio.

1. You can use the slider or text box to change the volume (settings are 0-100).

NOTE: The Admin Web Interface must first be Enabled and setup before this field will be available to change.

Default Username - user

Default Password - user123

Once the desired Username and Password has been entered, click the green APPLY button to set.

Note: The webpage will reload to the Log In page.

With both Admin and User Web Interfaces enabled, no menus will be accessible using the WebUI without first logging in (see image below).

Logging in with the User credentials, the only menu that will be accessible will be the Matrix tab. The rest of the settings will require the Admin user to log in (see page 24).

WebUI: System - Cloud Services

By enabling Cloud Services your device will have the ability to connect to firmware servers for over-the-air (OTA) updates and enable third-party remote management services. If Cloud Services are disabled, your device will opt-out of any previously enabled services and will not be able to access OTA updates.

Before you can enable the cloud services you must first agree to the "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Use".

You can view these documents by clicking on Privacy Policy or Terms of Use links, this will open up a PDF copy of that document in a new tab.

With the Cloud Services enabled you can use the System tab to check for new Firmware OTA (over the air).

This will check the firmware versions currently loaded on the AC-MX-88 and compare to the latest available. If it is up to date, you will see a prompt stating "No update available!" click CLOSE to exit.

If an update is available, the following prompt will show. Simply click the UPDATE button to load.

NOTE: When loading firmware (depending on the firmware files that are being updated) some settings will revert back to Factory Defaults. Take note of the I/O Config tab. Settings like the INPUT/OUTPUT labels, EDID Settings, Video Scaling, Audio Settings, etc. as they will have to be re-applied after the firmware updates are completed.

If an update is available a file will automatically be selected, simply click the UPLOAD button to load the firmware files to the Matrix.

WebUI: System - Firmware Update Cont.

Once the firmware file has been uploaded, it will display all containing firmware files. Here you can select individual firmware files to load or simply leave all files/options selected. If the version currently installed not newer, then that update will be skipped automatically.

Once the progress bar hits 100% click the CLOSE button, the firmware upgrade process is complete.

Now you will want to go back and re-apply settings like INPUT/OUTPUT Labels, applied EDIDs, Video Scaler Settings, Audio Settings, etc.

EDID Management:

This matrix has 29 factory defined EDID settings. It also has 3 user defined EDID memories. The user EDID memories are independent to each input and can be set differently. The user defined EDID can be uploaded using the free PC Control software or RS-232. In addition, you can choose to read the EDID from the desired output and the captured EDID will automatically store and overwrite the EDID in "USER EDID 1" and will be applied to the selected source.

By default, the matrix is set to a 1080P EDID, this is to maximize plug and play capability. When using 4K sources, you will want to define a 4K EDID on each input (or read from the display).

To Change the EDID setting:

1. Press and hold (for 3 seconds) the INPUT you want to change.
2. The "UP" and "DOWN" button's will illuminate (as pictured below), and the LCD will show the active EDID.
3. Toggle through the EDID options by pressing up or down repeatedly.
4. Press the "INPUT" you had selected in order to apply the EDID (this will still be illuminated).

These are the pre-defined EDID settings that you can toggle through:

Display IP Information:

In order to see the current IP settings, press and hold (for 3 seconds) INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously. This screen will change every 3 seconds showing additional settings (host, net mask, router IP).

NOTE: This screen always starts with the current IP address of the matrix:

HOST IP: 192.168.001.239

In order to toggle DHCP on and off, press and hold (for 3 seconds) the INPUT 1 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously.

In order to prevent potential IP problems, you can change the IP settings by using RS-232 commands (connect via the Micro USB port or 3 Pin Terminal RS-232 connection).

NOTE: The default IP address is 192.168.001.239 (as pictured above).

Quick Network Connect to Web Interface:

Use the following steps to quickly and immediately connect to the matrix switch:

1. Connect the LAN port into an active router port.

2. On most networks you can simply type the Default IP address into any web browser. The Default IP Address is 192.168.1.239

If you are on a closed network or non-standard, the following may work better when using DHCP:

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port on the switch to an unused, active port on the router.

2. Enable DHCP by pressing the INPUT 1 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

3. Wait 5 seconds, then press and hold (for 3 seconds) the INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 buttons simultaneously. The display will show the assigned IP address.

4. Input the IP Address into any web browser.

Setting a Static IP:

- Once connected, you can use the web interface to set a static IP address.

- A static IP can also be set by using the RS-232 software or a direct command (see Command list for more information).

IR Control: IR Remote

IR Remote Control:

When routing HDMI, the matrix can be controlled by using the IR remote supplied When routing HDMI, the matrix can be controlled by using the IR remote supplied with the product (battery not included, requires CR2025).

The labels on the left are the OUTPUT numbers.

The arrow buttons are for cycling through the INPUTS. Pressing the left arrow will decrease (move to previous input) and pressing the right arrow will increase (move to next input).

IR Control: Extension Port

The IR EXT. port on the back can accept an IR Receiving Eye (one included in the box).

RS-232 and TCP/IP Control:

The AC-MX-88 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 carriage 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 balanced 5 pin terminal connector 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.

Audio Output Logic and Cable Prep:

You can extract audio from Toslink or balance 2CH Audio.

2CH Balanced Audio Port - Supports 2CH PCM audio only, which is ideal for 2 Channel systems and zoned audio systems. No Down-mixing on this version, see AC-AXION-4.

Toslink Audio Port - Toslink extracted audio ports support up to 5.1 digital audio.

You can use balanced analog outputs in a balanced system, but you can also prep a cable as shown below to convert to a traditional 2CH unbalanced (L/R) system. You can also purchase pre-made cables (AC-CABLE-5PIN-2CH) four of these are included in the box when purchased.

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.

OBTAINING AN RMA.

Dealers, Re-sellers, and Installers can request an RMA AVPro Edge Tech Support Rep or their Sales Engineer. Or you may email [e-mail] or fill out the general contact form at www.avproedge.com

End users may not request and RMA directly from AVPro Edge and will be referred back to the Dealer, Re-seller or Installer.

SHIPPING.

For USA (not including Alaska and Hawaii). Shipping is covered on advanced replacements for FedEx Ground (some expressed exceptions may apply). Defective product return shipping is covered by AVPro Edge using an emailed return label. Item must be returned within 30 days of receipt of replacement product, after 30 days, the customer will be billed. Other return shipping methods will not be covered.

LEGAL STUFF.

Limitation on Liability

The maximum liability of AVPro Global Holdings LLC under this limited warranty shall not exceed the actual purchase price paid for the product. AVPro Global Holdings LLC is not responsible for direct, special, incidental or consequential damages resulting from any breach of warranty or condition, or under any other legal theory to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Obsolescence or incompatibility with newly invented technologies (after manufacture of product) is not covered by this warranty.

Obsolescence is defined as:
