4K HDR 4:4:4 60Hz HDBaseT™ Matrix Switchers

with Toslink Zone Audio De-Embed Outputs

MXV Full Product Range

Need help?

Do you have a question about the Wyrestorm MXV Series and is the answer not in the manual?

The WyreStorm MXV Full Product Range Quickstart Guide describes a series of 4K HDR 4:4:4 60Hz HDBaseT™ Matrix Switchers with Toslink Zone Audio De-Embed Outputs. These devices are designed to manage and distribute high-quality audio and video signals across multiple displays, supporting advanced features like HDR, HDBaseT, and various control methods.

Function Description:

The MXV matrix switchers serve as central hubs for audio and video distribution in professional and home theater environments. They accept multiple HDMI inputs and distribute them to various outputs, including HDBaseT and direct HDMI. The HDBaseT outputs are designed to extend signals over long distances using category cable, while the direct HDMI outputs provide local connectivity. A key feature is the Toslink zone audio de-embed outputs, which allow for the extraction of audio signals for independent distribution to audio systems. The devices support 4K HDR 4:4:4 60Hz video, ensuring high-fidelity image quality.

The matrix switchers also integrate various control mechanisms, including IR, RS-232, and Ethernet (Web UI), enabling seamless integration with third-party control systems. Power over HDBaseT (PoH) is supported on some models, simplifying installation by powering compatible HDBaseT receivers directly from the matrix. The inclusion of EDID management helps optimize compatibility between sources and displays, while CEC support allows for simplified control of connected devices.

Usage Features:

Easy Setup and Configuration: The matrix uses an Auto IP method for initial IP address generation. Configuration is primarily done through a Web UI, accessible via a network scanner and web browser. Default password is "admin."
Low Power Mode (Standby): The device can be placed into a low power standby mode, turning off the front panel display and LEDs and powering down outputs. It can be woken by front panel buttons, IR remote/control system, or RS-232/IP commands. Standby can also be enabled/disabled via the Web UI or API commands.
IR Control: Supports WyreStorm infrared emitters and receivers for optimal compatibility. The IR TX ports use a 3.5mm mono plug (Tip: Anode, Sleeve: Cathode/IR Signal), while IR RX/IR EXT ports use a 3.5mm stereo jack (+5V DC, IR Signal, Ground). Two different IR code sets are available to alleviate interference, configurable via the Web UI.
RS-232 Control: Provides a 9-pin DB9 Female port for matrix control, with routable RS-232 device control available on v3 models. Wiring guidelines are provided for connecting to DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) control systems.
Wiring Guidelines: Emphasizes the importance of using shielded category cable, pre-terminated HDMI cables, and avoiding patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks, and environmental interference to ensure optimal signal transmission.
