INTRODUCTION
This 4 by 2 HDMI Matrix with PiP is a high performance HDMI switch with integrated scaling and multi-windowing technology which can connect up to four 4K UHD + HDMI sources to up to two 4K UHD + HDMI displays and freely switch between them. It is an ideal solution for monitoring or displaying multiple sources simultaneously for use in control rooms, conference rooms or classrooms. Video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz and LPCM audio up to 7.1 channels at 192kHz are supported and this unit is fully compatible with the HDCP 1.x and 2.2 standards. Any of 4 different HDMI sources may be displayed individually, full screen, with seamless switching in Matrix mode, or they can be displayed using a variety of multi-window modes including standard views like PiP (Picture in Picture) and PoP (Picture outside of Picture) as well as fully customizable quad-window modes. Control of input/window routing, position and sizing is easy using the front panel controls with OSD menu as well as by WebGUI, RS-232, and Telnet.

Please obtain the “Device Discovery” software from your authorised dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily find it.
Connect the unit and your PC/Laptop to the same active network and execute the “Device Discovery” software. Click on “Find Devices on Network” and a list of devices connected to the local network will show up indicating their current IP address.
Note: The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.1.50.
By clicking on one of the listed devices you will be presented with the network details of that particular device.
- IP Mode: If you choose, you can alter the static IP network settings for the device, or switch the unit into DHCP mode to automatically obtain proper network settings from a local DHCP server. To switch to DHCP mode, please select DHCP from the IP mode drop-down, then click “Save” followed by “Reboot”.
- WebGUI Hotkey: Once you are satisfied with the network settings, you may use them to connect via Telnet or WebGUI. The network information window provides a convenient link to launch the WebGUI directly.
WebGUI Overview
