Istruzioni per l'uso

The Monoprice Blackbird 4K HDMI Matrix can be controlled via the front panel buttons, the included IR remote control, RS-232, or a Web GUI over TCP/IP.

Controllo del pannello frontale

The front panel features buttons for selecting inputs and outputs. Press an "INPUT" button (1-4) to select the source, then press an "OUTPUT" button (1-4) to route that source to the desired output. Output 4 corresponds to the local HDMI output, while Outputs 1-3 correspond to the HDBaseT outputs.

Telecomando IR

Point the IR remote control towards the IR receiver window on the front panel of the matrix. Use the "INPUTS" buttons (1-4) to select the source and the "OUTPUTS" buttons (1-4) to select the destination. The "ALL" button can assign a single input to all outputs simultaneously. Refer to the "IR Remote Control" section in Product Overview for button functions.

Controllo RS-232

Connect a computer to the RS-232 port on the matrix using the provided cable. Use a serial terminal program (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) with the following settings: Baud Rate 9600, Data Bits 8, Stop Bits 1, Parity None, Flow Control None. Refer to the detailed RS-232 command set in the full product manual (available on the Monoprice website) for specific commands.

TCP/IP (Web GUI) Control

Connect the matrix to your network via the TCP/IP port. The default IP address is typically 192.168.1.100. Open a web browser and enter the IP address to access the Web GUI. Il Web GUI provides a graphical interface for switching inputs/outputs, managing EDID, and configuring network settings. Consult the full product manual for detailed Web GUI instructions and default login credentials.

Gestione EDID

The matrix features a 4-pin DIP switch on the rear panel for EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management. EDID ensures compatibility between source devices and displays by communicating supported video and audio formats. Adjust the DIP switch settings according to your system's requirements. Refer to the full product manual for a detailed table of EDID DIP switch configurations.

Common EDID Modes:

• Copia EDID: Copies the EDID from a connected display to the source.
• Fixed EDID: Uses a pre-programmed EDID (e.g., 1080p 2ch, 4K 2ch, etc.).
• EDID misto: Combines EDID information from multiple displays.

Incorrect EDID settings can lead to no video, incorrect resolution, or audio issues. Experiment with different settings if you encounter display problems.

Manutenzione

• Pulizia: Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per pulire l'esterno dell'unità. Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi o spray.
• Ventilazione: Ensure adequate ventilation around the matrix to prevent overheating. Do not block ventilation openings.
• Ambiente: Keep the device away from excessive heat, humidity, dust, and direct sunlight.
• Energia: Scollegare l'alimentazione durante i temporali o quando non si utilizza l'apparecchio per lunghi periodi.
