CONNECT AND OPERATION

1)Connect the HDMI input sources (such as HD-DVD, PS3, AppleTV, DirecTV etc) into the inputs on AT- PROHD88M-SR.

2)Connect the HDMI outputs from AT-PROHD88M-SR (such as LCD, Plasma, LED, Projector, Monitor)

3)Power on the input source you want to show. (Keep the unused input power OFF, otherwise it may interfere with the normal display.)

4)Use IR remote, front panel, RS232, TCP/IP or RS485 connections to choose desired input source.

5)IR calls back from remote locations allows controlling the matrix switch as well as nearby sources (such as DVD, AppleTV, Satellite, Cable and etc…).

6)Instruction on IR Emitter.

The sequence of “IR1, IR2, IR3, IR4, IR5, IR6, IR7, IR8” one-to-one correspond with “HDMI Inputs 1~8”. When an output chooses certain input, the call-back IR signal of RJ45 on this output will choose the corresponding “IR” port to send the signal out.

For example, OUTPUT#1 chooses INPUT#3, then the call-back IR signal of RJ45 on OUTPUT#1 will choose “IR 3” to send the signal out.

Note: For better functionality of the IR, we suggest to place the IR receiver Eye at the IR Eye of the controlling source.

8) EDID Settings (PLEASE READ, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT):

The functionality of the switch will depend on how you select the Dip Switches below. Please read the instruc- tions and explanations below to understand the purpose of different configurations.

There are four DIP switches on the back of the 8x8 matrix switcher. Below you will find the definition of each one of the dip switches.
