About Modular Matrix Switcher System

The ANI-MOD Series of Matrix switchers are a group of high performance video and audio modular matrix switchers. Various changeable input and output cards make ANI-MOD matrix extremely fl exible, allowing it to be an all-in-one solution for a variety of different projects.

It is designed so that it can support a variety of different video signals with cross switching.

There are two groups of interchangeable cards designed to work with the ANI-MOD matrix; the Input cards series and the Output card series. All of these cards are designed to support hot plug & play. The cards provide connectivity and processing for different video signal types: HMDI, DVI, VGA, SDI, and HDBaseT.

Each of the ANI-MOD series matrix units can be used with any of the input and output cards for signal conversion.

The ANI-MOD Modular Matrix Switcher comes in four different models, all of which provide the same basic functions. The input and output cards work with all of the modules. The major difference between these models is the number of card slots they provide.

CHANGEABLE CARDS

SDI Card.

These cards are compatible with various different SDI signal formats, including SD/HD/3G-SDI (adaptive)

Every port has looping output for local monitoring.

ANI-IN-SDI:

Is an input card which accepts a maximum of four separate SDI input signals. Input signal can be passed to output device through ANI-OUT-SDI, or passed through other output cards in the series. This card is unique when compared to the other input cards in that it provides a “through” connection for daisy-chainging video devices. Each input signal can be immediately sent back out (“looping” it), without switching capability, to go to individual monitors.

ANI-OUT-SDI:

Is an output card which provides a maximum of four separate SDI output signals. Input signals can come from an ANI-IN-SDI, or from other kinds of input cards in the series.

The BNC connector is shown as the fi gure below.

SYSTEM SETUP DIAGRAM

In our system diagram example we are using an ANI-MOD3232; however the same connections can be made on any of the ANI-MOD matrix units.

The ANI-MOD Matrix units are designed for installation in a standard 19” rack mount. Should the owner desire to install the unit sitting on a shelf, four plastic cushions, designed to be used as feet are included. These are self-adhesive and should be attached to the bottom of the unit, before installation and setup.

16

REMOTE CONTROL

The ANI-MOD Matrix series of video switchers all come with a remote control unit. This remote duplicates the series of command buttons that are available on the front panel of the unit. The remote control is divided into three sections:

• Inputs

• Commands

• Outputs

To use the unit, follow the same command protocol used for entering the commands on the front of the unit. This requires entering the command, input, then output.

For Matrix units where more than 10 channels are present, there is a 10+ button provided for both the input and output. So, to input a command, selecting channel 16, you would press the 10+ button, then the 6 button.

17

REMOTE COMMAND SYSTEM FROM A PERSONAL COMPUTER

The ANI-MOD Matrix series can be controlled remotely from a personal computer. The control signal is brought into the ANI-MOD Matrix through the RS-232 connector on the back panel of the unit. The commands are input through software that comes with the ANI-MOD

Matrix, once installed in the computer.

RS-121 Cable Pins Used

Communications Protocol:

1. Transmission Rate: 9600 bps

2. Data Format: 8 data bits, No parity , 1 start bit, and 1 stop bit

3. Flowing Control: None

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL AND COMMAND CODES

General Notes:

1)The letter inside the bracket [ ] is the variable code, which is changeable.

2) The bracket [ ] is not part of the command.

3) Any dot “.” after the letters is part of the command.

4) The command begins with PTN (Packet Transmission Network) and applies only to the ANI-IN-VGA only; [x] is the channel of the matrix but not the channel of card. For ANI-MOD88, [x] must be one Byte, and for ANI-MOD1616/ANI-MOD3232/ANI-MOD6464, it must be two bytes.

5) [x1], [x2], [x3] and [x4] are the symbols of input or output channels ranged according to the model of the matrix switcher. If the symbols exceed the effective range, it would be taken as a wrong command.

6) In above commands, “[”and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to be typed in actual operation.

7) Please remember to end the commands with the ending symbols “.” and “;”.

Notes when using computer source:

The default EDID resolution is 1280 x 1024. When connecting a computer, the matrix attempts to force the screen resolution to 1280 x 1024. If you use a different computer resolution, you will have to tell the switch HDMI Output to learn the

Input setting.

To solve this problem, you will need to use the EDID management function to copy the EDID of the display to the matrix. The command is sent via RS-232, using the syntax EDIDM[X]B[Y] where X is the Output channel and Y is the Input channel.

For example; to set the resolution to 1080p;

Assuming;

1. The display is connected to Output 2 of the matrix.

2. The computer is connected to Input 1.

3. In this case, send the command EDIDM2B1. To copy the EDID of the display to Input 1 of the matrix, and the computer will work like it is directly connect to the display.

If there are more than one computer connected or you need all inputs set to 1080p as the default setting, send the command mapping all

Inputs/Outputs. The settings are stored in nonvolatile RAM and will be retained until the setting is changed.

Detailed Examples:

1. Transfer signals from one input channel to all output channels: [x1]All.

Example: “3All.” to transfer the signal from Input 3 to all output channels.

2. Transfer the signals formal input channels to corresponding output channels respectively: All#.

Example: If this command is carried out, the status of matrix will be: 1->1, 2->2, 3->3, 4->4…… 8->8….

3. Switch off all the output channels: All$.

Example: After running this command, there will be no signals on any of the outputs.

4. Switch off the detail feedback command from the COM port: /:MessageOff;

Explanation: It will leave “switch OK” as the feedback, when you switch the matrix.

5. Switch on the detail feedback command from the COM port: /:MessageOn;

Explanation: It will show the detail switch information when it switch. Example: when switch 1->2, it will feedback “AV01 to 02”.

6. Transfer signals from an input channel to corresponding output channel: [x]#.

Example: “5#.” to transfer signals from the number 5 input to the number 5 output.

7. Switch off an output channel: [x]$.

Example: “5$.” to switch off output channel number 5.

8. Switch signal: [x1] B[x2].

Example: “12B12, 13, 15.” to transfer signal from Input channel 12 to Output channels 12,13,15.

9. Inquire what input channel is providing video signal to the output channel [x]: Status[x].

Example: “Status23.” to inquire what input channel is providing video signal to output23.

10. Inquire what input channels are providing video signal to the output channels one by one: Status.

Example: “Status. ”Provides an output of each channel (1x3, 2x2, 3x8), showing the output channel fi rst, then the input channel associated with it.

11. Save the present operation to the preset command [Y]: Save[Y].

Example: “Save7.” to save the present operation to the preset command No. 7.

12. Recall the preset command [Y]: Recall[Y].

Example: “Recall5.” to recall preset command No. 5.

13. Clear the preset command [Y]: Clear[Y].

Example: “Clear5.” to clear preset command No. 5.

14. EDID management command: EDIDM[X]B[Y].

Example: “EDIDM5B3.” to copy the EDID data of the display on output 5 to input 3.

15. Command for ANI-IN-VGA: PTNI[X]*****.

Example: “PTNI070623%.” to set the input 7 to support YPbPr signal, the card is plugged in the second input slot of the matrix.

SAFETY OPERATION GUIDE/ TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE

Safety Operation Guide

In order to guarantee the reliable operation of the equipment and safety of the staff, please abide by the following proceeding for installing, using and maintaining your ANI-MOD Matrix:

1) Unit must be properly grounded. Please do not use two blades electrical power plugs. Verify that the input power is from 100v to 240v

AC and from 50Hz to 60Hz. The ANI-MOD will automatically switch to the right line voltage, as long as it falls within this range.

2) Do not install the switcher in a location where it will be too hot or too cold.

3) As the unit generates heat when running, it is necessary that the working environment is well ventilated, to prevent damage caused by overheating.

4) Turn the unit off at the main power switch in humid weather or when left unused for long periods of time.

5) Before removing the unit for servicing, ensure that the power cord is disconnected. When returning for servicing:

• Remove any cards that you have installed in the equipment.

• Reinstall any cards or other parts which you may have removed from of the equipment.

6) Do not attempt to service the ANI-MOD Matrix unit or any of the input our output cards yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Please DO NOT open the equipment case for any reason. In the case of damage or failure, return the unit to the factor for servicing.

7) Take proper precautions to ensure that no chemicals or other liquids are splashed on or around the equipment.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance

1) If the output image displayed in the destination device connected to the ANI-MOD matrix switcher has ghosting, fi rst verify the display device’s settings and the connecting cord. Low quality cords can cause ghosting, so always use a high quality connection cord.

2) If there is color loss or no video signal output, verify that the input and output connectors are connected tightly. Most video problems are interconnection problems, and not equipment problems.

3) If you cannot control the matrix switcher by computer through its COM port, verify the COM port number in the software and make sure the COM port is in properly connected to the unit.

4) If there is no output image when switching:

• Check for input signal with an oscilloscope or multi-meter. If there is no input signal, try replacing the cord, as it might be broken.

• Check for output signal with an oscilloscope or multi-meter. If there is no output signal, the output cord or its connections may be broken.

• Verify that the settings have been input correctly and that the device is connected to the correct output channel.

• If, after checking the above, there is still no image, it is possible that there is a problem with the switcher. Please send it to the dealer

for fi xing.

5) If the output image contains snow or interference, verify that the system is properly grounded.

6) If static “snow” in the image becomes stronger when connecting with HDMI connectors, it may be due to improper grounding of the power supply. Please verify that there is a good ground. A poor ground could cause damage to the switcher, shortening its normal life expectancy.

7) If the matrix switcher cannot be controlled by the front panel switches, RS-232 port or remote controller, the unit is probably damaged in some way. Please send it to the dealer for servicing.
