Installation

Front

1. RESET Button: Press and hold this button for 10 seconds when the unit is powered-on until the
STATUS LED starts flashing to restore the default settings.
2. POWER LED: Indicates power.
3. STATUS LED: This will flash yellow/green every second until the unit boots up completely and control
LAN is ready, then it will stay on.
Rear

1. DC 12V: Connect the 12VDC 1A PSU to an AC wall outlet and securely connector to the unit.
2. VIDEO LAN (PoE): Connect to the same Network Switch where all Encoders and Decoders are
connected using a single RJ-45 Cat.6 or above cable. The unit can be powered via PoE if the
connected Switch has this feature.
3. CONTROL LAN: TCP/IP control network port.
4. NORMAL/MCU: DIP Switch to control RS-232 port. NORMAL: the RS-232 port is used for serial port
commands control; MCU: the RS-232 port is used for MCU software upgrade.
5. RS-232: phoenix block 3-way connection for the pass-through transmission of RS-232 commands.
6. 6-Pin Phoenix Connector: 4 channel I/O level outputs, 1 channel ground, 1 channel power output.
7. IO LEVEL: DIP Switch to control I/O level output and Voltage out; switch to left for 5V I/O level out,
switch to right for 12V I/O level out.
8. IR IN: Connect the supplied IR Receiver cable for 12V IR signal reception.
Please Note:
- As default the IP mode of the CONTROL LAN port is DHCP, the PC connected needs to be set to
“Obtain an IP address automatically” mode and an optional DHCP server (for example a network
router) is recommended in the system.
- If there is no DHCP server in the system, 192.168.0.225 will be used as the IP address of the
CONTROL LAN port. Set the IP address of the PC in the same network segment (for example
192.168.0.88).
User Manual English

User Manual English
Matrix Control Page

Encoders: Display all the connected Encoders. The text in the figure is the name of the device.
Decoders: Display all the connected Decoders. The text on the first line is the name of the Decoder and
the text on the second line refers to the Encoder where the signal resource comes from.
If an Encoder shows “No Signal”, it means that the Encoder cannot be dragged. If there is an image on
an Encoder, it means that the Encoder can be dragged. As shown in the figure above, if an Encoder is
dragged to the place where the red arrow points to, all Decoders will share the same signal resource
from this Encoder; if an Encoder is dragged to the place where the blue arrow points to, only the
indicated Decoder can receive signals from this Encoder.

Recycling Information
WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), Recycling of Electronic Products

Europe, United Kingdom

In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection and recycling of all
waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply throw away electrical and
electronic equipment. Instead, these products must enter the recycling process. Each individual EU
member state, as well as the UK, has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in slightly
different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any electrical or electronic
products. More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.

Germany / Deutschland Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte

Informationen für private Haushalte sowie gewerbliche Endverbraucher
Hersteller-Informationen gemäß § 18 Abs. 4 ElektroG (Deutschland)
Das Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz (ElektroG) enthält eine Vielzahl von Anforderungen an den
Umgang mit Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten. Die wichtigsten sind hier zusammengestellt.
1. Bedeutung des Symbols „durchgestrichene Mülltonne“
Das auf Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten regelmäßig abgebildete Symbol einer durchgestrichenen
Mülltonne weist darauf hin, dass das jeweilige Gerät am Ende seiner Lebensdauer getrennt vom
unsortierten Siedlungsabfall zu erfassen ist.
2. Getrennte Erfassung von Altgeräten
Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte, die zu Abfall geworden sind, werden als Altgeräte bezeichnet. Besitzer von
Altgeräten haben diese einer vom unsortierten Siedlungsabfall getrennten Erfassung zuzuführen.
Altgeräte gehören insbesondere nicht in den Hausmüll, sondern in spezielle Sammel- und
Rückgabesysteme.
3. Batterien und Akkus sowie Lampen
Besitzer von Altgeräten haben Altbatterien und Altakkumulatoren, die nicht vom Altgerät umschlossen
sind, sowie Lampen, die zerstörungsfrei aus dem Altgerät entnommen werden können, im Regelfall vor
der Abgabe an einer Erfassungsstelle vom Altgerät zu trennen. Dies gilt nicht, soweit Altgeräte einer
Vorbereitung zur Wiederverwendung unter Beteiligung eines öffentlich-rechtlichen Entsorgungsträgers
zugeführt werden.

4. Möglichkeiten der Rückgabe von Altgeräten

Besitzer von Altgeräten aus privaten Haushalten können diese bei den Sammelstellen der öffentlich-
rechtlichen Entsorgungsträger oder bei den von Herstellern oder Vertreibern im Sinne des ElektroG
eingerichteten Rücknahmestellen unentgeltlich abgeben.
Rücknahmepflichtig sind Geschäfte mit einer Verkaufsfläche von mindestens 400 m² für Elektro- und
Elektronikgeräte sowie diejenigen Lebensmittelgeschäfte mit einer Gesamtverkaufsfläche von mindestens
800 m², die mehrmals pro Jahr oder dauerhaft Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte anbieten und auf dem Markt
bereitstellen. Dies gilt auch bei Vertrieb unter Verwendung von Fernkommunikationsmitteln, wenn die
Lager- und Versandflächen für Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte mindestens 400 m² betragen oder die
gesamten Lager- und Versandflächen mindestens 800m² betragen. Vertreiber haben die Rücknahme
grundsätzlich durch geeignete Rückgabemöglichkeiten in zumutbarer Entfernung zum jeweiligen
Endnutzer zu gewährleisten.
Die Möglichkeit der unentgeltlichen Rückgabe eines Altgerätes besteht bei rücknahmepflichtigen
Vertreibern unter anderem dann, wenn ein neues gleichartiges Gerät, das im Wesentlichen die gleichen
Funktionen erfüllt, an einen Endnutzer abgegeben wird. Wenn ein neues Gerät an einen privaten Haushalt
ausgeliefert wird, kann das gleichartige Altgerät auch dort zur unentgeltlichen Abholung übergeben
werden; dies gilt bei einem Vertrieb unter Verwendung von Fernkommunikationsmitteln für Geräte der
Kategorien 1, 2 oder 4 gemäß § 2 Abs. 1 ElektroG, nämlich „Wärmeüberträger“, „Bildschirmgeräte“ oder
„Großgeräte“ (letztere mit mindestens einer äußeren Abmessung über 50 Zentimeter). Zu einer
entsprechenden Rückgabe-Absicht werden Endnutzer beim Abschluss eines Kaufvertrages befragt.
Außerdem besteht die Möglichkeit der unentgeltlichen Rückgabe bei Sammelstellen der Vertreiber
unabhängig vom Kauf eines neuen Gerätes für solche Altgeräte, die in keiner äußeren Abmessung größer
als 25 Zentimeter sind, und zwar beschränkt auf drei Altgeräte pro Geräteart.
Recycling Information
5. Datenschutz-Hinweis
Altgeräte enthalten häufig sensible personenbezogene Daten. Dies gilt insbesondere für Geräte der
Informations- und Telekommunikationstechnik wie Computer und Smartphones. Bitte beachten Sie in
Ihrem eigenen Interesse, dass für die Löschung der Daten auf den zu entsorgenden Altgeräten jeder
Endnutzer selbst verantwortlich ist.
France
En 2006, l'union Européenne a introduit la nouvelle réglementation (DEEE) pour le recyclage de tout
équipement électrique et électronique. Chaque Etat membre de l’Union Européenne a mis en application
la nouvelle réglementation DEEE de manières légèrement différentes. Veuillez suivre le décret
d’application correspondant à l’élimination des déchets électriques ou électroniques de votre pays.
Italy
Nel 2006 l’unione europea ha introdotto regolamentazioni (WEEE) per la raccolta e il riciclo di apparecchi
elettrici ed elettronici. Non è più consentito semplicemente gettare queste apparecchiature, devono essere
riciclate. Ogni stato membro dell’EU ha tramutato le direttive WEEE in leggi statali in varie misure. Fare
riferimento alle leggi del proprio Stato quando si dispone di un apparecchio elettrico o elettronico. Per
ulteriori dettagli fare riferimento alla direttiva WEEE sul riciclaggio del proprio Stato.

En 2006, la Unión Europea introdujo regulaciones (WEEE) para la recolección y reciclaje de todos los
residuos de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos. Ya no está permitido simplemente tirar los equipos
eléctricos y electrónicos. En cambio, estos productos deben entrar en el proceso de reciclaje. Cada estado
miembro de la UE ha implementado las regulaciones de WEEE en la legislación nacional de manera
ligeramente diferente. Por favor, siga su legislación nacional cuando desee deshacerse de cualquier
producto eléctrico o electrónico. Se pueden obtener más detalles en su agencia nacional de reciclaje de
