Introduction
Simply stated, the AVPro Edge AC-MX-88X is a classic transformed into an icon. Our engineers focused on
re-imagining the venerable AC-MX-88, boosting bandwidth to an ultrawide 40Gbps with 8K input and output
stages, for a world-rst, Next-Gen 8 input / 8 output matrix switching platform providing a foundation for all
possibilities that follow. “X ” marks the spot for high performance that is unmistakably AVPro Edge, as we
once again redene the face of the HDMI switching era. Gaming enthusiasts, rejoice - multiple inputs for
multiple consoles! Select Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, or your Alienware Aurora Ryzen by control system or

Initial Setup: WebUI
1. With the AC-MX-88X placed into its new home (AV Rack, cabinet, table top) take a Phillips head
screwdriver and attach the included yellow ground strap to the back of the chassis using the pre-installed
screw, then attach the other end to a suitable grounded object.
2. Connect the HDMI Input sources to the HDMI Inputs on the back of the matrix.
3. Connect the HDMI/devices to the HDMI Outputs.
4. Connect the network LAN cable to the RJ45 port labeled LAN (next to 3pin RS232 port above grounding screw).
5. Power on the sources (Inputs).
6. Power on the Output devices/displays.
7. Connect the 48V power supply to power on the matrix and then to a suitable power source.
8. Using the front panel display and Menu navigation buttons navigate to NETWORK and press the ENTER
button to enter the IP Settings menu.
9. Either manually enter in your desired IP settings, or enable DHCP and let your network assign the correct settings. Use
the UP/DOWN arrow keys to highlight the row you want to change (HIP, RIP, TCP Port, etc), click , use left/right arrow
keys to select and the UP/DOWN arrow keys to change the setting. Click the OK button again to conrm those changes.
10. With the matrix connected to the local network, using a computer on the same network open up a web browser and type
the HIP (Host IP Address) into the address bar to navigate to the WebUI.
The AC-MX-88X can be controlled using the USB-C port, 3pin RS232, or over TCP/IP using the LAN connection. For initial setup
it is recommended to connect the matrix to a local area network (LAN) and use a computer on the same network in conjunction
with the built in WebUI. After making all the physical connections, the rst step will be to check for any Firmware Updates.
The below steps are an example of this setup, other control options are covered in separate sections of this user manual.

11. With the AVProEdge WebUI open, navigate to System. Click on the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, this will open
these documents in a new tab for review. Once read click on the boxes next to each to agree. When both are checked
the switch for Enable Cloud Services will be selectable (will be red or disabled by default). Click to enable (the switch will
turn green).
12. With the Cloud Services enabled under the Hardware section click the Update Firmware button to check for new
Firmware OTA (over the air). This will compare the rmware versions currently loaded on the AC-AXION-X and compare
to the latest available. If it is up to date, you will see a prompt stating “No update available!”
13. If an update is available, the following prompt will show. Simply click UPDATE.
14. If a new update is available a le will automatically be selected, simply click the UPLOAD button to load the rmware
les to the Matrix. Uploading does not install the Firmware, that is the next step.
9
15. Once the rmware le has been uploaded, it will display all containing rmware les. Here you can select individual
rmware les to load or simply leave all les/options selected. If the version currently installed is not newer (does not
need to be updated), then that update will be skipped automatically. Click the UPGRADE button to start.
16. Once the progress bar hits 100% click the CLOSE button, the rmware upgrade process is complete.
17. With the Firmware up to date it’s time to start setting up the matrix. With the AVProEdge WebUI open, navigate to the
I/O Conifg section. Label the applicable Inputs (Apple TV, Cable Box, Roku, etc) under the Input Settings - Label.
18. If an Input is not being used, you can click the Enabled switch o (it will turn red).
19. Label the Outputs (Living Room, Bedroom, Den, etc) under the Video Output Settings - Label.
10
20. Set the HDMI Video Scaling if needed. Each HDMI OUTPUT has a drop-down
with x3 options for scaling.
21. With the system and all it’s components powered up it’s time to verify signal path from source to the sync. For now leave
EDID settings to their default 1080P 2CH, the next section Advanced Setup will cover the more advance settings.
22. Use the Signal Indicator on the HDMI INPUTS. Green means HDMI source is detected,
red means that the source is not detected. If red verify that the input is powered on
and that the HDMI cable is properly connected to the source and to the back of the
matrix.
23. Now verify the connections to the HDMI outputs using the Signal indicator. Green means HDMI sync is detected, red
means that the HDMI sync is not detected. If red verify that the sync devices are powered on and that the HDMI cables
are properly connected to the back of the matrix.
24. With everything connected and powered on, green indicators across the applicable inputs and outputs, verify you are
getting all of your sources on all of your displays.
25. Problems with a source or sync, see the Troubleshooting section for help on page[s] 41.
Advanced Setup: WebUI Input Settings - EDID
After verifying good signal path from source to sync now it is time to go through the rest of the settings to maximize the setup.
Starting on the input side with the EDID.
• No Scaling (default) - No scaling will be applied to that output.
• 4K to 1080P - Any signal above 1080P will be down-scaled to 1080P
• 8K to 4K - Any signal above 4K will be down-scaled to 4K
1. With the WebUI open, navigate to the I/O Conifg tab and focus on the Input Settings section at the top.
2. Set the EDID on each input by selecting the resolution drop-down rst (default is set to 1080P). The options are 1080P,
4K30Hz, 4K60Hz Y420, 4K60Hz, and FRL10G8K. If you select USER1 EDID, then the drop-downs change to allow you to
select from an output to copy from. You can select any of the 8 HDMI
outputs then click the COPY button. This will save that outputs EDID
to the USER1 slot.
3. Next use the drop-down to select NO 3D, or 3D depending on the
displays capability.
NOTE: Currently the only resolution you can choose NO 3D for is 1080P.
4. Next drop-down select either SDR (standard dynamic range) or HDR
(High Dynamic Range).
5. The fourth drop-down in the EDID section is for the audio, you can
select 2CH, 6CH, or 8CH.
6. Click the button to set the EDID.
7. Verify you are still getting that source to all your displays and that the image looks correct.
NOTE: Some older displays may take an HDR signal and display correctly (ignoring the HDR Metadata)
others will not ignore the HDR part of the signal and may display incorrectly.
