4. DOWNLOADING THE UTILITY
The software utility is included on the CD provided with the B-120-HDMATRIX and can also be downloaded from
the product page at www.SnapAV.com. Check the site for periodic updates to ensure that the latest version of the
utility is being used.
5. UTILITY FILE LOCATION
The B-120-HDMATRIX software utility is a standalone program that does not require installation. After
downloading the utility, unzip the downloaded le to a location that is easy to remember and locate when needed,
like the example below:
• C:\My Documents\Binary\B-120-HDMATRIX\CongurationUtility
6. COMMUNICATING WITH THE B-120-HDMATRIX
6.1. Serial Connection
The B-120-HDMATRIX and PC communicate over DB9 straight-through serial cable. Before connecting, verify
that the pin conguration of the cable matches the diagram below.
Should the PC not have a built in DB9 connection, a USB to RS-232 adapter may be used, however it is strongly
recommended that rmware updates are not performed using an adapter.

7. INSTALLATION & SETUP
7.1. Basic Installation Diagram
Complete the basic installation section to set up the matrix switcher for media distribution before completing any other
setup. Use this diagram for reference during basic installation of the matrix switcher, sources, displays and wiring.
7.2. COM Port Settings
The COM port on the PC should be set to 9600 Baud, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity.
Select the COM port on the computer that is connected to the B-120-HDMATRIX from the list of available COM
ports.
If the connected COM port does not appear in the list, refer to the PC’s “Device Manager” to verify that COM
ports have been installed and have the right communication settings. Find the Device Manager by searching from
the Start menu search bar, or go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > right-mouse-click and select “Device
Manager.”
7.3. Initializing Communication
Select the “Connect” button to initiate communication between the B-120-HDMATRIX and the computer.
Once connected:
• Button name will change to “Disconnect”
• Status box will change to “Connected” and turn green.
If this does not occur after a few moments, perform these steps:
1. Verify that the correct COM port is selected;
2. Verify communication settings on the PCs COM port;
3. Verify that the cable has the correct PIN conguration and that it is functioning correctly.
If communication cannot be established after performing these steps, please contact SnapAV tech support.
7.4. Stopping Communication
Click the “Disconnect” button to stop communication between the B-120-HDMATRIX and the computer.

8. EDID CONFIGURATION
The purpose of EDID Conguration is to set the EDID for each input appropriately. This EDID will be passed to the
connected source input. Unless the source has a xed audio or video format, it will transmit content at the best
audio and video formats that do not exceed the capabilities specied in the EDID. Note that all outputs on the
B-120-HDMATRIX receive the same audio and video format.
For example, assume you have two displays (Outputs) that will view the source connected to Input 1. One of the
displays is capable of 7.1 multi-channel audio but the other is only capable of stereo audio. In this case, you will
store an EDID in Input 1 that restricts the audio to stereo so that both display outputs will produce audio.
Select “Congure EDID’s” to access EDID congurations.
NOTE: If the PC is not communicating with the B-120-HDMATRIX, a “NOT CONNECTED” window will appear.
FIGURE 2
8.1. Display EDID for Particular Input/Output
Read EDID allows you to read the currently stored EDID for each Input and to read the EDID from display (if any)
connected to each HDMI and HDBaseT output. Note that EDIDs for the Inputs are displayed in the upper left box
while EDIDs for the outputs are displayed in the lower left box.
1. Select an input or an output from the dropdown list:
2. Select READ to display the information.
3. The EDID values for the selected Input or Output will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
8
8.2. Display EDID for All Inputs / Outputs
1. READ ALL will read and display the currently assigned EDID for each Input and the EDID from each connected
display.
2. The EDID values for all Inputs and Outputs will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
8.3. Save Conguration for Inputs / Outputs
This function allows you to save an EDID to disk for future use. A common use of this function is storing the EDIDs
for commonly used TVs on disk. These can be recalled from disk (see EDID Learning below) and stored in the EDID
Input locations even if the display is not currently connected.
1. Select an input or an output from the dropdown list:
1. Click “READ” to display the information.
2. Click “SAVE” to save the le.
3. Browse to the location of your choice to save the conguration le.
Suggested Folder Location:
C:\My Documents\Binary\B-120-HDMATRIX\EDIDCongurations
FIGURE 3
4. Create a name for the le that clearly describes the contents.

8.4. Learn EDID to Input
The following examples are for the B-120-HDMATRIX-8x8, but apply to all models.
EDIDs are learned into the B-120-HDMATRIX via the HDMI and HDBaseT output connections.
If you are learning from a connected display, the steps below can be followed to learn EDIDs from a display into the
B-120-HDMATRIX:
1. Select the location of the device whose EDID you will learn from in the EDID Learning “From” dropdown list:
Available Choices
NOTE: When “From File” is selected, a window will open when you learn (Step 3 on next page) that allows you to
navigate to the location where an EDID conguration le was saved. Select the desired le and select “Open”.
1. Select an Input to learn to in the “EDID Learning TO” dropdown list:
Available Choices
2. Select the LEARN button
The selected EDID is stored in the selected Input locations.
10
8.5. Auto EDID Learn
The B-120-HDMATRIX includes an automatic function that will determine the EDID with the best quality video
that will work with all connected displays.
If all sources (Inputs) are to be viewable on all Displays (HDMI and HDBaseT Outputs), this function provides an
easy mechanism for determining the EDIDs to store in all Inputs.
If some sources (such as a Blu-Ray player) are only viewed on some displays (Outputs), this method may provide a
more restrictive EDID than desired for some displays (Outputs).
To see the results of Auto Learn, Read EDID from Input 1. This EDID is stored in all Input EDID locations.
NOTE: Auto EDID sets audio to 2ch for all inputs regardless of the capability of the connected displays. If multi-
channel audio is desired, embedded EDIDs or Learned EDIDs will need to be used.
9. ADVANCED SETUP USING THE CONFIGURATION UTILITY
9.1 Output Control
Selecting “View Outputs” opens a window that allows outputs to be turned on or off. This can be used for
troubleshooting the B-120-HDMATRIX and connections.
