INSTALLATION Installation (single unit) CPU #1 . . . . . CPU #16 Monitor/ Speakers #1 . . . . . Monitor/ Speakers #16 Serial Cable to RS-232 port Figure 1. Typical Installation Control Computer It is a good idea to pre-plan the installation of the UltraMatrix AV and the connected equipment. It is recommended that each video input be labeled to keep track of the video source. Each video and audio input can be assigned a name for ease of identification.
Install the RoseControl switching software on the computer or laptop that will be used to control and switch the video and optional audio inputs. Installation of RoseControl follows the standard Windows® type installation procedure. Follow the onscreen instructions to properly install the software. NOTE: All equipment should be powered on prior to installing the RoseControl software. When the installation of RoseControl is complete, a RoseControl ICON will be placed in the start-up menu.
The RoseControl switching matrix is a dynamic matrix that will automatically adjust the number of inputs and outputs selected on the “Configure Router” screen. The default matrix is set to 16 x 16 for a single unit installation. The switching matrix makes it easy to select and switch any input video and optional audio source to any output destination. By clicking on a cross-point, you can route a single or multiple outputs to a single input source but an output can only be connected to one input source.
On the right side of the RoseControl switching matrix there are up to 50 macro tabs that are used to save and play back macros. These macros store a set sequence of routes. To record a macro: 1. Click on the Record button. A blinking “recording” message below this button will be displayed to indicate that all routes are being recorded. 2. Select the desired cross points. There is no limit on the number of routes you may record. 3.
Installation (multiple units) The installation of multiple units consists of one designated master unit and one or more secondary units. All secondary units must have the frame address set for the unit by the factory. The master unit will have a frame address of “0x00”, the secondary units will have a frame address of “0x01”, “0x02”. Etc. The frame address is used when switching ports using RoseControl software or via serial HEX commands sent to the units.
1. Select 2 for the “Router Count”. 2. The “Advanced Configuration” check box is used for configuring more than 1 UltraMatrix AV unit. Leave this check box blank for configuring multiple units using “Y” video, audio, and serial cables. 3. Select AV-16x16 for “Router Type 00”. 4. Select AV-16x16 for “Router Type 01” 5. A/V Split check box is not available 6. Select the “Com Port” to connect the serial communication cable to. 7.
Operating UltraMatrix AV Operating the UltraMatrix AV is performed from a standalone computer or laptop connected via a serial cable (single unit installation) or serial “Y” cable (multiple unit installation) to the unit’s RS232 port. RoseControl software is used for all video source selection and destination routing. Inputs are listed vertically and outputs horizontally. Routing a video source to a destination monitor is performed by clicking on the input / output cross-point.
Macro’s The UltraMatrix AV can save custom routing schemes as macros. Up to 50 different macros can be created and saved for use at anytime with a single click. Figure 8. Macros To create a macro, click on the Record tab. A dialog box will display showing two choices, “Manual Save” or “Save Status”. If you already have a video routing scheme laid out and want to save it as a macro, click on “Save Status” tab and follow the on-screen instructions.
The UltraMatrix AV has a very useful Help function. Clicking on Help will display the help menu as shown below. Figure 9.
The UltraMatrix AV can be instructed to switch any video input port to any video output port by sending a serial command to the RS232 port.
