3. Product Overview 

MMX6x2-HT series – User's Manual 

17

Input selection automatically – example

The concept

If a video signal of the Blu-ray player is present on the HDMI input of the matrix, the source will be automatically 

switched to the TPS output. If the video signal of the PC is also present on the other HDMI input of the 

matrix, it will be switched to the TPS output. If the Laptop is connected, the TPS input will be switched to the 

TPS output – independently of the presence of the other video signals.

3.8. Control Features (Matrix Control and Third-Party Devices)

The interfaces of the MMX6x2-HT can be used to install the matrix at any place of a complex A/V system. 

Besides, the matrix is able to handle controlling functions as well. This chapter is about to present the 

possibilities through three simple layout examples.

System control via local Ethernet (example)

 The following ways are available for controlling the devices:

 

The 

System

 

controller

  can  communicate  with  LW2/LW3  protocol  commands  via  the  local  IP:port 

address of the 

Matrix

, see the settings in 

Factory Default Settings 

section).

 

The 

System controller

 can communicate directly with the 

Projector 

or an

 Extender

 via their IP:port address.

 

The 

System controller

 can communicate directly with the RS-232 

relay box

 connected to the

 Matrix

. In 

this case, 

Command Injection mode

 has to be enabled on the local RS-232 port.

 

The 

matrix

 can send a command (e.g. as an action by the Event Manager) to the IP:port address of the 

Projector

 or an 

Extender

 by using LW3 protocol methods; for details see the 

Infrared Port Configuration 

section.

System control via local RS-232 (example)

The following ways are available for controlling the devices:

 

The 

System controller

 can communicate with LW2/LW3 protocol commands via the local RS-232 port 

of the 

Matrix 

(see the default RS-232 port settings in 

Factory Default Settings 

section).

 

The 

System controller

 can send TCP or UDP messages to the IP:port address of the 

Matrix

 or the 

Extender

by using LW3 protocol methods,  see 

Infrared Port Configuration 

section.

 

The 

Matrix

 can send TCP or UDP messages command to the 

HDTV

 or the 

Extender

 by using LW3 protocol 

methods, see 

Infrared Port Configuration 

section.
