All drivers, associated software and extra documentation is available on the B-500-MTRX-230-8X8 product page at
www.SnapAV.com under the Support Tab.
7.7.1. IR Control
The B-500-MTRX-230-8X8 can be controlled by IR from the front panel receiver or by
attaching a mono cable from the control system flasher output to the “System IR In” port
on the back of the matrix switcher. For the most reliable control, use the System IR In port.
The matrix switcher will also process commands received on IR Receiver inputs from
B-500-RX-230-IR in zones connected via HDBaseT. (See Section 7.10.2. IR Pass-Through from Rooms to Sources
on page 15 for an application example of this feature.)
Note: System IR Control and the front panel IR Receiver can be disabled when not in use by using the Configuration
Utility. See the Configuration Utility manual section, “Other Settings” for more information.
7.7.2. RS232 Control
To control the B-500-MTRX-230-8x8 with RS232, the devices must connect using the correct pin configuration for the
control system in use.
The matrix switcher receives control data on pin 2 (RxD – Data Receive) and transmits control data on pin 3 (TxD
- Data Transmit). The connection cable between the matrix switcher and the Automation System will need to be
configured so that pin 2 (RxD) on the switcher is connected to the control system TxD pin, and pin 3 (TxD) on the
switcher is connected to the control system RxD (Data Receive) pin. See the diagram below for details.
Configuration for control system serial ports can vary. Refer to the documentation for the system in use to ensure
proper connection and configuration.
Note: This port is also used to communicate with a PC when using the PC Configuration Utility. Refer to the
Configuration Utility manual for details.
7.7.3. Ethernet/IP Control
The B-500-MTRX-230-8x8 includes an Ethernet port that can be used to control the device using Telnet Protocol. This
port follows TIA 568 A/B standards; please refer to these standards when terminating cables.
To configure the matrix switcher for use with the driver, it will be necessary to connect the unit to a PC and access it
with the Matrix Configuration Utility. See the Configuration Utility manual and the IP driver documentation for complete
setup instructions.
