Basic Wiring Diagram
Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in its entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
- The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on the signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.
- WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI cables due to the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the product.
Installation and Operation
- Connect HDMI sources to INPUT ports 1-4 using good quality HDMI cables.
- Connect an HDMI display device to the HDMI OUT ports of the switcher.
- Turn the power on using the included remote handset, ensuring LED power indicators are fully lit on the front of the switcher. If not, check to make sure the HDMI cables are firmly connected.
- To operate the switcher, press the SWITCH buttons on the front of the unit to scroll numerically through connected sources.
- Alternatively, use the remote control handset to scroll forwards and backward through the inputs or push buttons 1-4 corresponding to the connected sources. Furthermore, an RS-232 or LAN connection from a control system can be used to control the device.
IR EXT Port Pinout
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs +5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
RS-232 Wiring
The MX-0404-HDMI uses a 3-pin RS-232 with no hardware flow control. Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made. Refer to RS-232 Mode Settings for details on setting RS-232 modes.
Audio Wiring
This matrix contains audio connections for Digital Audio.
Control via IP
This matrix uses an Auto IP method to generate the initial IP address based on the network connections. By default, the IP address is set to DHCP and will pull the IP address from a connected DHCP server. Should the network not contain a DHCP server the IP address will be generated based on the unit’s mac address. The above operation will occur unless the IP Address setting is changed to static via API command.
- Connect the matrix to the same network as a control system.
- Using a 3rd party network scanner, scan the network for the IP address of the matrix.
- The IP address of the matrix will show up under the name MX-0404-HDMI
- If no DHCP network is available and the unit has not been issued an IP address yet, the default IP address is 192.168.11.143.
Accessing the Web UI
This matrix uses an Auto IP method to generate the initial IP address based on the network connections. By default, the IP address is set to DHCP and will pull the IP address from a connected DHCP server. Should the network not contain a DHCP server the IP address will be generated based on the unit’s mac address.
The above operation will occur unless the IP Address setting in the web UI is set to static.
- Connect the matrix to the same network as a PC.
- Using a 3rd party network scanner, scan the network for the IP address of the matrix.
- Open a web browser and enter the IP Address of the matrix.
- Enter the password for the matrix. Default Password: admin
IP Address Notes
- The installer password and general password are the same by default. WyreStorm recommends changing the password for installer login to avoid any unwanted changes being made to the matrix configuration.
Troubleshooting
No or Intermittent 3rd party Device Control
- Verify that the IR, RS-232, and Ethernet cables are properly terminated following the Wiring and Connections section.
No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)
- Verify that power is being supplied to all devices in the system and that they are powered on.
- Verify that all HDMI connections are not loose and are functioning properly.
- If transmitting 3D or 4K, verify that the HDMI cables used are 3D or 4K rated.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable to other devices to verify functionality.
