EDID Management
MX44AVW USER MANUAL
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display. By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device/s you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker, and more reliable.
Configuration of the EDID settings for each input can be achieved by using the Web-GUI or using the following commands to specify the required EDID.
Please see the section on RS-232 and Telnet API at the end of this manual for full connectivity information

Web-GUI - Video Wall Mode
Video Wall mode allows the outputs of the MX44AVW to operate as a video wall. The video wall allows an input to be displayed across any configuration of the 4 video wall windows: they can be tiled together contiguously or overlapped in a custom formation in order to form one large screen to display an input. The video wall render, represents the entire input screen. Each video wall window will output the section of the input that it is covering. For example, if the video wall window are setup in a 2 x 2 configuration, each window will display a quarter of the input.
Please note: If the video wall inputs are positioned in such a way that the black background of the input render is showing, there will be part of the input that will not be displayed across any of the video wall outputs.
Inputs: The Inputs section lists the 4 x HDMI inputs. Each input is displayed with a name which can be set in the Input page. When no source is connected, the input will be highlighted with a red border When a source is connected, the input will be highlighted with a green border To set the input for the video wall, press the desired input. It will be automatically switch while retaining the video wall setup
Video Wall Configuration: The unit allows for configuration of the position, rotation, scale and source of each video wall window. The windows can be moved around by pressing and dragging the window to the desired position. The scale and rotation can be modified by using the sizing handles:
The sizing handles on the top and bottom of the window will scale the window in the y-axis (horizontally) The sizing handles on the left and right of the window will scale the window in the x-axis (vertically) The sizing handles on the corners will scale the window with regards to aspect ratio The rotation handle will rotate the window while in User-defined Angle Rotation mode. If in Fixed Angle Rotation mode, a
warning dialog will be displayed Please note: The rotation handle will only be active when the window is in User-defined Angle rotation mode.

When updating the firmware normally, use the Update MX44AVW Firmware option. Ensure you have the correct firmware file and press the corresponding button. This will open a sub menu where you can browse for the firmware file on your device. Once the file has been uploaded, press the Upload button to start the update.
If the update has failed, RS-232 is not responsive but the web-GUI is accessible, use the Upload Mainboard Firmware option. Please note: This option is for recovery only and should not be used otherwise. Ensure you have the correct firmware file and press the corresponding button. This will open a sub menu where you can browse for the firmware file on your device. Once the file has been uploaded, press the Upload button to start the update.

RS-232 Configuration and Telnet Commands
The MX44AVW can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP. The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud rate: 57600 Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Parity bit: none The following pages list all available serial / IP commands.
MX44AVW USER MANUAL
Commonly Used Serial Commands
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:
STATUS
Status will give feedback on the switcher such as outputs on, type of connection, etc.
PON
Power on
POFF
Power off
OUTON/OFF
Toggling the main output ON or OFF as required
Example: OUTON (This would turn the main output on)
OUT FRyy
(yy is the input)
Example: OUT FR04 (This would switch the main output to source input 4)
Common Mistakes
· Carriage return: Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly after the string. In the case of some Terminal software the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you are using this token maybe different. Some other examples that other control systems deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)
· Spaces: Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some programs that require spacing in order to work.
· How the string should look is as follows: OUTON
· How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}ON
· Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct
