The HDP-MXB88VW is an 18Gbps 8x8 Seamless Matrix switcher designed for high-performance video transmission. It allows routing of 8 HDMI sources to 8 displays with support for resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. The device features seamless switching, built-in video wall capabilities, and multiple control methods including front panel buttons, IR remote, RS-232, and a Web GUI.
Device Overview
The front panel includes an OLED screen for status monitoring, input/output selection buttons, a power button, and a lock button. The rear panel houses 8 HDMI inputs and 8 HDMI outputs, along with optical and L/R balanced audio outputs, TCP/IP control port, RS-232 port, and an IR extension port.
Installation and Connections
Ensure all devices are powered off before making connections. Connect HDMI sources to the input ports and displays to the output ports. For audio, use the optical or L/R audio outputs as needed. Connect the provided 24V/3.75A power supply to the DC 24V port. If the unit is installed in a closed cabinet, use the included IR receiver cable connected to the IR EXT port.
Operation and Controls
Front Panel: Use the input and output buttons to route signals. Press an output button (1-8) followed by an input button (1-8) to switch sources. The MENU button allows access to system settings like IP info, baud rate, and factory reset.
IR Remote: Use the remote to select inputs and outputs. The 'All' button allows simultaneous routing of one input to all outputs.
Web GUI Configuration
The matrix can be managed via a web browser. The default IP address is 192.168.0.100. Connect the matrix to a PC via TCP/IP, ensure the PC is on the same network segment, and enter the IP address in a browser. Default login credentials are Username: Admin, Password: admin.
EDID Management
The matrix supports 12 factory-defined EDID settings, 2 user-defined modes, and 8 copy modes. EDID can be managed via the front panel menu, RS-232 commands, or the Web GUI Input page.
RS-232 Control
The device supports RS-232 control via a serial connection. Use a terminal tool to send ASCII commands. Key commands include 'r status!' for device status, 's power z!' for power control, and 's output x in source y!' for routing.
Video Wall Setup
Video wall configurations can be managed via the Web GUI Video Wall page. Users can define rows and columns (1-8), set presets, and adjust bezel compensation for a seamless display experience.
