Matrix Switching
Once connected, the Matrix page will show the Encoders and Decoders available on the network. The
matrix page is for genlocked routing which means there will be no latency. The switch is instant but takes
the time of the display to lock before the image will show. Usually this is about 3 seconds depending on
the brand and model of display. For faster switching refer to the Seamless switching but has certain
requirements and latency for the process to switch instant. Each box will show the Host Name, IP
Address of the IPBaseT Video Stream, resolution the unit is processing, color space it is processing,
stream status, and the firmware revision of the IPBaseT Video Engine. This information is very handy
especially when trying to understand what is going on in a system.
To make a route click and hold on the encoder which will highlight green and drag it to the desired
decoder, let go and the route will be made.
Right clicking on an Encoder or
Decoder will bring up local device’s
source selections, EDID management,
and setup features specific to the device. The Encoder source selections are HDMI1 and HDMI 2.
Decoder is HDMI1, HDMI2, and Stream. Refer to the setup section for me details on the individual device
setup.
Important: EDID must be setup for IPX units for proper operation. The EDID must be a common
denominator so the sources put out the proper resolution, audio, and color space that all displays are
capable of handling.
