HD-MD4X1-4K-E:

4K HDMI®Switchers

Introduction

The Crestron®HD-MD6X2-4K-E, HD-MD4X2-4K-E, and HD-MD4X1-4K-E are 4K HDMI®

switchers. Each switcher supports high-resolution signals up to 4K/60 and provides

advanced DigitalMedia™ EDID management, native Crestron control via Ethernet, a built-in

web server, and a front panel OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display.

While similar in functionality, the switchers differ in the number of HDMI inputs and outputs:

•The HD-MD6X2-4K-E provides six HDMI inputs and two independent HDMI

outputs.

•The HD-MD4X2-4K-E provides four HDMI inputs and two independent HDMI

outputs.

•The HD-MD4X1-4K-E provides four HDMI inputs and one HDMI output.

This guide provides information about configuration of the switchers using the web

interface and the front panel OLED display. Information about the routing push buttons

is also provided. For additional information about the switchers, refer to the

HD-MD6X2-4K-E/HD-MD4X2-4K-E/HD-MD4X1-4K-E DO Guide (Doc.7760).

Using the Web Interface

Built-in web pages of the HD-MD6X2-4K-E, HD-MD4X2-4K-E, and HD-MD4X1-4K-E allow

configuration of routing, input, output, network, and device settings. In addition, information

about the switchers can be viewed.

Accessing the Web Interface

To access the web interface, do the following:

1. Note the IP address that appears on the front panel OLED display.

NOTE:

After power is applied to a switcher, the IP address appears on the front

panel OLED display.

Configuring Routes

Routes can be set so that an HDMI signal from any input on a switcher can be routed to any HDMI

output on the switcher.

•The HD-MD6X2-4K-E allows any of the six inputs to be routed to up to two

independent outputs simultaneously.

•The HD-MD4X2-4K-E allows any of the four inputs to be routed to up to two

independent outputs simultaneously.

•The HD-MD4X1-4K-E allows any of the four inputs to be routed to a single output.

To route the desired inputs to one or more HDMI outputs, do the following:

1. In the navigation bar, click

ROUTING

. The Routing page opens.

Routing Page ( HD-MD6X2-4K-E Page Shown)

As shown above, the Routing page provides a list of inputs and a list of outputs.

NOTE:

The Routing page varies depending on the model of the switcher.

The Routing page shown above applies to the HD-MD6X2-4K-E, which has six

inputs and two outputs. For the HD-MD4X2-4K-E, the Routing page lists four

inputs and two outputs. For the HD-MD4X1-4K-E, the Routing page lists four

inputs and one output.

The default names of the HDMI inputs are

INPUT1,

INPUT2

INPUT3

INPUT4,

INPUT5

(HD-MD6X2-4K-E only), and

INPUT6

(HD-MD6X2-4K-E only). For the

HD-MD6X2-4K-E and HD-MD4X2-4K-E, the default names of the HDMI outputs

are

OUTPUT1

and

OUTPUT2

. For the HD-MD4X1-4K-E, the default name of the

HDMI output is

OUTPUT

2. In the text entry boxes for the inputs and outputs, rename the inputs and outputs if

desired, and then click the

Save Names

button.

3. To route an input to an output, select the corresponding output radio button for the

input. The input is routed to the output immediately.

NOTE:

For the HD-MD6X2-4K-E and HD-MD4X2-4K-E, two output radio buttons

can be selected for a single input if desired.

NOTE:

For each output, the resolution and frame rate being transmitted to the

output are displayed. If the input resolution is changed, the resolution and frame

rate are updated dynamically. If no source is detected, the message

No Source

displayed.

4. (Applicable to the HD-MD4X1-4K-E only) Enable or disable automatic routing:

•To enable automatic routing, click the

TRUE

radio button if it is not already

selected. By default, the

TRUE

radio button is selected.

•To disable automatic routing, click the

FALSE

radio button.

To disconnect a route for an input, click the

radio button for the

corresponding output.

Configuring Input Settings

The desired EDID can be selected and sent to the inputs. Built-in EDID files are available for

selection, and custom EDID files can also be selected. The EDID can be selected on a

global basis and sent to all inputs, or it can be selected on an individual basis for each input.

In addition, inputs can be renamed. HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

support can also be enabled or disabled for each input on an individual basis.

To send the desired EDID to the inputs, do the following:

1. In the navigation bar, click

INPUTS

. The Input page opens.

Input Page (HD-MD6X2-4K-E Page Shown)

NOTE:

The Input page varies depending on the model of the switcher. The Input

page shown above applies to the HD-MD6X2-4K-E, which has six inputs. For the

HD-MD4X2-4K-E and the HD-MD4X1-4K-E, the Input page lists four inputs.
