Introduction

1 Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics (since 1981): a world of unique, creative and

affordable solutions to the infinite range of problems that confront the video,

audio and presentation professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have

redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our

500-plus different models now appear in 8 Groups

, which are clearly defined

by function.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer Cobra MX-1616 16x16 Matrix

Switcher / DA. The Cobra MX-1616 16x16 Matrix Switcher / DA is designed

for Plug and Play operation and is fully compatible with all versions of the

Kramer Cobra series CAT 5 transmitters/receivers.

The Kramer Cobra series products are not compatible with Kramer non-Cobra

series products.

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

3 Overview

Achieving the best performance when using the Cobra MX-1616 16x16

Matrix Switcher / DA means:

Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and

elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and positioning your Cobra MX-1616 in

a location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust

4 Cobra MX-1616 16x16 Matrix Switcher / DA Operation

This section describes how to operate the Cobra MX-1616 16x16 Matrix

Switcher / DA.

4.1 Keypad Description

The Cobra MX-1616 16x16 Matrix Switcher / DA provides a front-panel

keypad that may be used to configure the input to output channel

assignments. Additionally, these assignments may be saved as preset

configurations. 16 configurations may be saved for later use.

When an input or output channel is selected, the key will be illuminated.

Pressing an input or output key will “toggle” the selection. It is not necessary

to press the CANCEL key to remove only the selected key from the current

assignment. The CANCEL key is used to abort any operation in progress, and

will also re-initialize all input and output key selections. The ENTER key will

update the matrix assignments with the current selection.

The Cobra MX-1616 16x16 Matrix Switcher / DA will “remember” the

current preset configuration if power is removed, and will return to this state

when power is restored. If the current configuration has not been saved as a

preset however, the unit will recall the last saved preset.

An 16 by 16 display is furnished to provide the user with a visual overview of

the current matrix assignments.

4.2 Input to Output Assignment

To assign an input channel (source) to an output channel (destination), press

the desired input key on the top row, and the desired output key(s) on the

bottom row of the selection keypad. If any outputs are assigned to the

selected input channel, the keys will be illuminated. When all assignments

have been made, press the ENTER key to update the matrix, or press the

CANCEL key to start again.

Multiple output channels may be assigned to a single input channel, but only

one input channel may be assigned to each output channel. To turn an output

channel off, press only the output key, then the ENTER key.

Pressing an input or output key will “toggle” the selection. It is not necessary

to press the CANCEL key to remove only the selected key from the current

assignment.

Pressing an input key will illuminate the input key and all outputs assigned to

this input. To re-assign the outputs to a new input, press the input key again,

then press the new input key. Press the ENTER key to update the matrix, or

press the CANCEL key to start again.

To turn an output channel off, make sure no inputs are selected, then press

only the output key, and the ENTER key.

4.3 Preset Command

To save the current matrix configuration, press the PRESET key, then the

input key that corresponds to the preset you wish to overwrite (1 – 16). Press

the ENTER key to save or the CANCEL key to start again.

4.4 Recall Command

To recall a saved preset configuration, press the RECALL key, then the input

key that corresponds to the preset you wish to recall (1 – 16). Press the

ENTER key to load the preset configuration or the CANCEL key to start

again.

4.5 All Off Command

To turn all outputs off simultaneously, hold the CANCEL key for

approximately five seconds.

CAT 5 Serial Control/Command

5 CAT 5 Serial Control/Command

5.1 RS-232 Protocol

The Cobra MX-1616 will echo each command character that is received via

the RS232 port. When using an external Control System to control the

MX-1616, a delay of at least 10 milliseconds must be inserted between

characters. This will allow enough time for the switcher to echo the character

back to the Control System, and accept the next character.

Example: To connect Input 1 to Output 5, the command O5=1<CR> should

be transmitted: O (10ms Delay) 5 (10ms Delay) = (10ms Delay) 1 (10ms

Delay) <CR>”.

7-bit ASCII: 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, 9600 bps (9600 8N1).

All commands are Upper Case.
