3.0 PLANNING A MATRIX SYSTEM • Before installation, test the equipment for compatibility. Temporarily connect all of the sources, audio receivers, and displays to the matrix using short HDMI cables to verify basic compatibility and function. If any incompatibilities occur, connect the source and display or audio receiver without the matrix in the signal path for further HDMI troubleshooting.

6.0 OPERATING THE MATRIX switcher 6.3 RS-232 serial Control The HMX-244 is a matrix switcher capable of routing audio/video signals from any of four sources to any of four displays. The matrix may be operated by the front panel controls, an IR remote control, or by RS-232 through a computer or other third party controller. Connect a computer or other serial controller to the RS‑232 port on the rear panel using an RS-232 cable. The HMX244 serial commands are based on Windows™ OS super terminal.

7.0 TROUBLESHOOTING If the problem remains with one particular input, connect that source to a different input using the same cable and see if the problem moves to the new input. If it does, the problem is with the source. Connect the source directly to the lowest resolution display and adjust its output settings and resolution until satisfactory function is achieved. • Make certain that the matrix is receiving power by looking at the power LED. It should be illuminated and not flickering.
