Flexible control options

  Flexible Control Options
  CMX64 can be controlled by several methods, you can choose the one the best fits your home theater control scheme.
Manual control using the front panel buttons
IR control using a programmable remote.  You can download the Pronto codes needed here.  The raw Hex format is here.
IR control using your standard remote. Zerokey can learn any remote keys to control CMX88.
RS-232 control using Cinemar's custom designed plugin.
   
  Each output is individually switch-able.  You can configure CMX64 in one of 2 control modes:
 
  1. Basic mode:  Component video, composite video, analog audio, and digital audio(coax/tos) switch together.
  2. Advanced mode:  Component video, composite video, analog audio, and digital audio(coax/tos) all are switched independently


Video Distribution
CMX64 is the ideal amplifier for driving long video cables in your home.  Many vendors claim their products can do this, but very few can accomplish this without distortion of the video.  The most important amplifier design factors in driving long cables are source impedance matching, output connector quality, amplifier bandwidth, and amplifier current drive and slew rate.  Our amplifier uses the best components for all these, resulting in the best signal distribution you can get.

ZeroKey Technology
The remote control interface can use ZeroKey infrared code cloning to map any remote control key to each of the inputs & outputs.   ZeroKey technology is compatible with virtually all remote controls, and does not interfere with the normal operation of the remote.  Please see our quick start guide for a description of how to program for an IR remote using ZeroKey.

ZeroKey programming is stored in flash memory, and you will not need to reprogram even if you lose power.  If you buy a new remote in the future, don't worry, the CMX64 can be reprogrammed as much as you like.

HDMI expansion capability
The CMX64 has the ability to seamlessly add HDMI matrix switching capability.  Simply purchase one of our HMX series rack mountable HDMI matrix switches and connect the RS-232 port from the HMX switch to the expansion port on the CMX64.  You will be able to switch the HDMI matrix through the same control interface you use to switch the CMX64.  No need for a separate remote or RS-232 controller.

Upgradeable firmware
CMX64 supports firmware updates over the RS-232 port.  Future updates will add the capability to control all our new products over the expansion port.
