9. Advanced Setup Using the Configuration Utility
10. Firmware Update
There are several setup options available that can only be modified using the matrix switcher Configuration Utility.
These items are defaulted to the most common settings that should work in most installations.
The Configuration Utility and manual are available for download on the Support Tab of the B-500-MTRX-230-4X4 product
page at www.SnapAV.com. Download and run the Utility to gain access to these settings by connecting to the matrix and
clicking “Other Settings.”
Binary may occasionally release new firmware for the B-500-MTRX-230-4X4 to address new standards and technology.
It will never be necessary to perform an update to an existing, correctly functioning system, but during installation or
service it is recommended to check the installed version to be sure it is the newest available.
For full update instructions, see the section titled, “Firmware Update” in the Configuration Utility manual. New firmware,
the Configuration Utility, and the Configuration Utility manual are available for download on the Support Tab of the
B-500-MTRX-230-4X4 product page at www.SnapAV.com.
9.1. IR Source Routing
9.2. IR Front Panel IR Enable
9.4. Front Panel Power Button Active
9.3. Matrix Control from Room Enable
The IR Source Routing feature allows discrete control of the source selected from any connected HDBaseT output using
an IR receiver plugged into the B-500-RX-230-IR. This setting is only relevant when using in-room IR remotes to control
sources connected to the matrix switcher. When set to Yes, the matrix will route commands from the HDBaseT Receiver
to the IR Output to Source port that matches the source input number currently selected on that output.
When set to No, commands will be sent only out of the IR Output to Source port that matches the HDBaseT Receiver
number from which it originated.
This setting controls the operation of the front panel IR receiver built into the B-500-MTRX-230-4X4. This should be
disabled if using the SYSTEM IR IN port to control the matrix switcher via IR, or if the matrix switcher is missing or
receiving extra commands during use (stray IR interfering with the port).
The Front Panel Power Button can be disabled if desired. Disable the button when the matrix switcher is programmed to
be on at all times or in jobs where turning off the matrix from the switcher can cause issues with control.
The Matrix Control from Room Enable option allows Matrix Control IR commands to be sent from the room as if a source
were being controlled. Turn this option off if the matrix switcher is being controlled by any other method than in-room IR.
Note: To use Matrix Control from Room, it is recommended to program a universal remote control with discrete commands
for matrix control to keep in each zone, rather than using the included IR remote or commands learned from it.
Go to the Support Tab of the B-500-MTRX-230-4X4 product page at www.SnapAV.com to see and download the
available IR codes and drivers for IR remote programming.
