Cobra MX-88 8x8 Matrix Switcher Operation 

 

4.2  Input to Output Assignment 

To assign an input channel (source) to an output channel (destination), press 

the desired input key on the top row, and the desired output key(s) on the 

bottom row of the selection keypad. If any outputs are assigned to the 

selected input channel, the keys will be illuminated. When all assignments 

have been made, press the ENTER key to update the matrix, or press the 

CANCEL key to start again. 
Multiple output channels may be assigned to a single input channel, but only 

one input channel may be assigned to each output channel. To turn an output 

channel off, press only the output key, then the ENTER key. 
Pressing an input or output key will “toggle” the selection. It is not necessary 

to press the CANCEL key to remove only the selected key from the current 

assignment. 
Pressing an input key will illuminate the input key and all outputs assigned to 

this input. To re-assign the outputs to a new input, press the input key again, 

then press the new input key. Press the ENTER key to update the matrix, or 

press the CANCEL key to start again. 
To turn an output channel off, make sure no inputs are selected, then press 

only the output key, and the ENTER key. 

4.3  Preset Command 

To save the current matrix configuration, press the PRESET key, then the 

input key that corresponds to the preset you wish to overwrite (1 – 8). Press 

the ENTER key to save or the CANCEL key to start again. 

4.4  Recall Command 

To recall a saved preset configuration, press the RECALL key, then the input 

key that corresponds to the preset you wish to recall (1 – 8). Press the ENTER 

key to load the preset configuration or the CANCEL key to start again. 

4.5  All Off Command 

To turn all outputs off simultaneously, hold the CANCEL key for 

approximately five seconds.
