11.  TROUBLESHOOTING

If issues arise during installation or testing of the B-500-MTRX-230, follow these guidelines to troubleshoot. Use 
the System Layout chart on the page 28 to record a description of each part of the system. If a problem cannot be 

solved using the methods listed here, fill out the System Layout Chart as completely as possible and contact Binary 

Tech Support for assistance at 866.838.5052.

11.1. General Troubleshooting Guidelines

•  Always set up the connections between the matrix switcher and all equipment before attempting EDID setup 

or testing video and audio to be sure that all displays have been accounted for.

•  Only change one part of a setup at a time when troubleshooting. Changing more than one variable may lead to 

inconsistent results.

• 

When any issue arises with video or audio, inspect the cable connections first.  Most issues arise from a 

connector not being fully seated in its port or a poorly terminated Cat 5e/6 cable.

•  Try to simplify the signal route when troubleshooting.  Remove any additional equipment from between the 

source and display as possible, and add one piece back until the issue re-appears.

•  If a source will not work with all displays, or a display will only work with some sources, the issue is usually 

either an incorrect EDID for an input, or a source menu is set incorrectly.  

•  Swap devices to different ports on the matrix to determine whether issues follow the devices or the ports in 

use.  Issues following sources are almost always related to the internal settings of the source. Set the source 
output to adjust automatically for the EDID of the display. Then set up the EDIDs using a learned EDID from an 
output with a “problem” display, or selecting an embedded EDID compatible with all of the connected displays’ 
supported resolutions.
