INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Rose Electronics

®

UltraMatrix AV™ HD for your HDMI video switching requirements.

The UltraMatrix AV HD is designed especially for control rooms, video presentations, security centers, video wall displays, and many other digital media applications.

The ease of switching video sources makes the UltraMatrix AV HD a versatile and flexible addition to your system. Up to 16 video sources can be switched to any selected output port. The video switching can be controlled by the front panel, the RS232 input using a PC Windows based software, through a web browser (on some models), optional IR remote, or optional TCP/IP controller.

The UltraMatrix AV HD supports HDTV resolutions of 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p at distances up to 40 feet.

Repetitive switching sequences can be recorded and saved in 1 of 50 macros for playback at any time.

The access software makes switching the selected input to an output fast and easy. Just click on the input source and then the output destination and the video is instantly switched.

Installation consists of two procedures:

1. Connecting the video sources and destination monitors to the unit

2. Installing the access software for controlling the UltraMatrix AV HD.

Each video source is connected to one of the sixteen video in HDMI connectors using a HDMI to HDMI cable

Using the RoseControl Software

Find the Installation CD that came with your UltraMatrix AV HD unit. This CD has the RoseControl software that you will need in order to control the unit using a computer.

Insert the CD into your CD-ROM. On the CD you should see:

 RoseControl_Installer.exe

 RoseControl Help File

 UltraMatrix AV HD Manual in PDF format

Double click RoseControl_Installer.exe in order to initiate software installation. Click Install. After installation has completed, click CLOSE.

In order to use the software, click on the START button>Programs>RoseControl. There you should see a help file, the RoseControl launcher as well as a shortcut to uninstall RoseControl. Click on RoseControl in order to launch the software.

When the software starts you will see a screen like this (UltraMatrix AV DVI 16X16 Shown):

Figure 7. RoseControl Configuration Screen

8 ULTRAMATRIX AV HD INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

Router Type: Select “Matrix DVI 16x16”

Inputs/Outputs: Enter the number of Inputs/Outputs for your UltraMatrix AV HD (16x16).

Com Port: Select the appropriate COM port that your computer is using to access the router.

Router Time out: By default this is 0.2, meaning the computer acknowledges commands almost instantly.

After you have entered the necessary information, click OK. This will now take you to the Main Routing

Window where you can route the different HDMI connections.

Figure 8. Main Routing Window

On this screen you will notice the input buttons running down the left side while the output buttons run across the top. They are labeled 1 through 16.

The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router’s connections by means of the crosspoint panel, the buttons, or with pre-recorded routing instructions called macros.

9 ULTRAMATRIX AV HD INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

Crosspoint Panel: This is probably the simplest way to route the connections. Simply click on the cross point itself. The input on the left will then be routed to the output above.

Note: Inputs can be routed to several different outputs, but each output can only have a single input at any one time. So you can have several connections horizontally but not vertically.

Figure 9. Routing Window, Modified Connections

10 ULTRAMATRIX AV HD INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

The Button Panel: These are the numbered buttons across the top and left sides. Click an output button on the top, and then click an input button on the left.

Options for using the Button Panel:

 Output Options: To select multiple outputs next to each other, click on one output, then hold the shift key down and click the last output. When the input is clicked, it is routed to all selected outputs. To select multiple outputs individually, hold the control key down and click on any number of outputs. When the input is clicked, it is routed to all selected outputs.

 Input Options: To route an input to all the outputs at once, hold the control key down and click on an input.

To leave the outputs selected after the route is made, hold the shift key down and click on an input.

Macros: This section of the window is used to save and play back macros. Macros store a set sequence of routes.

To record a macro:

1. Click on the Record button (last button shown). A blinking “recording” message below this button will be displayed to indicate that all routes are being recorded.

2. Select the desired crosspoints. There is no limit on the number of routes you may record.

3. If you click a macro button while in the record mode, the macro will be executed, and these routes will be added to the recording. This makes it possible to combine the routes of two or more macros into one bigger macro.

4. When finished, click the “Save Macro” button. You will be instructed to then click on one of the macro buttons. Doing this will save the recorded routes to that button. To cancel saving the macro, click the

“Cancel Save” button.

5. To play back a macro, simply click on one of the 50 macro buttons. Use the scroll bar to bring any of these into view.

6. The macros are automatically saved in the current configuration file. They are also saved when you select the File/Save Configuration... menu. To save macros in a separate file for a special purpose, select the

File/Save Macros...menu.
