Introduction

The gMV64 UltraMatrix is the culmination of years of ELAN experience in the design and perfection of multi-zone audio and video switching.

Incorporating the features and reliability that has made ELAN the fastest-growing manufacturer of multi-room A/V products, the UltraMatrix series of switches are ELAN’s most powerful and flexible multi-source/multi-zone controllers to date. Each UltraMatrix switcher seamlessly blends HDMI routing along with full audio distribution. In fact, the UltraMatrix switchers provide more options for audio distribution than any previous product.

UltraMatrix switchers work exclusively on the ELAN g! control network.

This unit has been designed with ultimate flexibility in mind. In addition to the analog, optical digital and coaxial digital audio inputs each UltraMatrix switcher allows the audio from HDMI inputs and the Audio Return Path (ARP) of each HDBaseT output to be easily routed to zone outputs. Zone outputs include analog, coaxial digital, HDBaseT and HDMI. The ELAN UltraMatrix switchers have an extensive feature set that is covered in detail in the UltraMatrix Designers Guide and the ELAN g! Training Guide.

Basic Inputs

This UltraMatrix switch can accommodate most common audio / video wired signals.

HDMI (4) – The UltraMatrix switcher can separate digital audio imbedded in the HDMI connection and route it to both analog and digital zone outputs. HDMI sources are connected to one of the HDMI Input connectors.

When the source is configured for 2-ch audio output the

UltraMatrix switcher will route the signal to both digital and analog outputs. Multi-channel signals cannot be routed to analog outputs.

If both multi-channel and 2-ch signals are required the source must be bi-wired and both connections configured as unique sources in g! Configurator.

Analog (8) – Analog inputs on the UltraMatrix switchers are used in pairs.

If you have a mono source make sure to connect it to both the left and right inputs. Analog inputs may be routed to any analog or digital output.

Optical SPDIF (14) – Digital inputs are available for routing to both analog and digital outputs.

Page/Doorbell (12) – This dedicated input is used to connect a paging output from a phone system, or the doorbell output from the ELAN C2 or

Niles DBI-2 interfaces. Page/Doorbell override requires the connection of a separate trigger to the g! system controller. The UltraMatrix recognizes only the analog input connection.

Basic Outputs

HDBaseT (1) – HDBaseT outputs combine HDMI, digital audio, bi-directional serial, bi-directional IR, 10/100 Ethernet and ARP signals along with voltage to power the HDRE onto a single Cat5e/6/7 wire.

The HDBaseT standard allows wiring lengths up to 100m (328’), although the use of ARP reduces the maximum wire length by 15m (50’).

Terminate wiring with T568B RJ45 connectors rated for the type of wiring you have run. Test all terminations prior to connecting to the UltraMatrix switcher.

HDMI (2) – The UltraMatrix switcher features mirrored HDMI and HDBaseT outputs. Advanced EDID management allows both of these outputs to be active at the same time. Connect the HDMI output to a monitor using appropriate quality HDMI cables.

NOTE: When connecting displays to both the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs the audio EDID information will always be read from the device connected to the HDMI output and the video EDID information will always be read from the device connected to the HDBaseT receiver HDMI output.

Analog* (11) – Analog outputs are connected to amplifiers and may be configured as stereo, dual mono, dual left channel or dual right chanel.

They may be grouped in various configurations (see Zone Grouping

Options on page 14)

† Digital zone outputs configured to access analog inputs create a mirrored digital and analog output situation. The g! configuration software will manage the situation and you can refer to this chart to make sure that you do not mis-connect an output.

When Digital outputs are configured to mirror Analog outputs the output level becomes variable and matches the output level of the analog outputs.

FIGURE 1-X13

ETHERNET SWITCH

HDBaseT Disribution Connections

Ethernet (3) – Each zone output has a connection for 10/100 Ethernet.

Connection to an Ethernet switch should be done with appropriately rated cable and need only be made if you are going to utilize Ethernet at the destination room for a Smart TV, game station, media player or the like.

Ethernet signal distribution over HDBaseT requires use of the ELAN HDRE as the HDBaseT receiver.

IR In (13) – IR inputs are zone specific and are generally connected to g! controller IR outputs with a 1/8” (3.5mm) mono mini to 1/8” mono mini cable. Use this connection to operate monitors and sources in the destination room. g! controllers allow many sources to be connected to the same

IR output, so as long as you do not have duplicate devices in the destination room you will have no problem operating several IR devices with one connection using an IR connecting block like the Xantech 789-44 on the

IR output of the HDRE or HDRS.

IR output (15) – zone specific outputs provide access to IR signals generated in the destination room. Unless you have connected an IR receiver to the HDRE HDBaseT receiver to control a centrally located g1 OSD interface it is unlikely you will utilize these connections. If you have an IR controlled device not related to the A/V system it is possible that this connection could be used for that.

Other Connections

RS-232 Port (7) – Control and Update port. For ERP compliant installations use the serial port for control. Use ELAN part no. 8900597 to connect a CAT-5 cable directly from the g! controller. Connection along with g!Tools is also used to update the firmware on the UltraMatrix controller. You should only update firmware at the direction of

ELAN Technical Support or a specific Technical Bulletin from ELAN.

TCP/IP (9) – Control port. Connect to the Ethernet switch.

Chassis control over TCP/IP is possible. Connect the UltraMatrix to an available port on your Ethernet switch.

ETHERNET SWITCH

Figure 1 X19 Connecting an Ethernet jumper to the TCP/IP port

NOTE: The gMV64 meets European (ERP) standby power requirements.

The ERP circuit monitors the TCP/IP and RS-232 ports for communication with the g! controller and after 10 minutes of no communication will place the chassis in a low power consumption mode. In this mode the

RS-232 connection is still active, but the TCP/IP connection is not.

The only way to wake the unit up from low power consumption mode is to send it a serial command over the RS-232 port or to cycle main power.

When using the TCP/IP port to control the UltraMatrix chassis it is recommended that you do not turn the power on to the UltraMatrix until the g! controller has also been powered up.

Contact Triggers (10) – These connections are reserved for Future Use.

Main Power Switch (17) – Switching to OFF completely powers down the chassis. Make all system connections with the Main Power Switch in the OFF position. Switching to ON turns on the UltraMatrix chassis and illuminates the blue power LED (D) on the front panel. Power down system amplifiers before powering down the UltraMatrix switcher.

Edid Table

The UltraMatrix switchers utilize a table format to manage source and display EDID’s. EDID’s tell the source what video and audio format to output.

Each source has a table and the capabilities of each display that the source may be routed to is included in the table. Once populated, the EDID table will direct the source to output the highest performance format that all displays and the source are compatible with. To assist with programming and troubleshooting EDID worksheets for video and audio are provided below.

System Design and Applications

System Design

The UltraMatrix family of switchers have a vast number of features with their own potential benefits to the end user. The description of features and the design requirements of each feature is covered in-depth in the

UltraMatrix Designers Guide. Covered in this manual are just the features that affect the wiring of an UltraMatrix chassis.

Due to the vast number of possible UltraMatrix connections it is strongly recommended that you do not attempt to wire the chassis without a complete one-line document created by the system engineer.

The following examples will provide a connection reference for the many of the configurations you are likely to see.

HDMI Audio Decoupling – The sound from HDMI inputs may be used as a source in audio only zones

HDMI & HDBaseT Mirrored Outputs – Advanced circuitry allows the

UltraMatrix switchers to output HDMI signals simultaneously on both the

HDMI and HDBaseT connections of each zone.

Analog Output Configuration – Analog zone outputs may be configured for stereo, dual left channel, dual right channel, dual mono, and stereo reverse.

Output Grouping – Zone outputs maybe grouped several ways;

• Sub Zone – Attaches one analog zone (sub) to another

(master). The subzone tracks the master zone source but

retains independent volume adjustment.

• Zone Grouping – establishes a set of outputs that can be

easily grouped or un-grouped by the end-user. Outputs for

outdoor areas, entertaining areas, or master suite rooms are

good candidates for zone grouping.

• Whole House Music (WHM) – Zones are selected through the g! Configurator for inclusion or exclusion for WHM. The end user simply selects “Settings” in their current zone, then presses WHM On and all included zones are grouped to the active zones source.

Audio Return Program (ARP) – HDBaseT provides a digital PCM audio return channel on each output. ELAN’s implementation of this channel is unique and referred to as Audio Return Program (ARP).

ARP utilizes separate inputs on the HDRE receiver to provide an audio input that is independent of the monitor. This input may be utilized for connection to any analog or digital source, and the source connected may be routed to any analog or digital output.

NOTE: When ARP is enabled (see HDRE instructions for enable/disable help) the maximum wire length for the HDBaseT signal is shortened to 260’ (80m) if using CAT5e. If using CAT6 or CAT7 ARP does not affect wire length.

Lip Sync Delay – Each analog output has up to 170ms of delay that can be assigned to all sources routed to the output and/or to a specific source. Where you assign the delay depends on what is causing the video delay. If only a source is causing the delay, then applying the lip sync to the source only is appropriate. If the display or a video processor in-line with the display is causing the issue then delaying all sources routed to the zone would be appropriate. When a source with delay is selected in a zone with delay the delays are added and executed up to a maximum of 170ms.

Lip sync is not available for multi channel digital outputs.
