Glossary of termsContents

Control System
A 3rd-party method of control for MHUB systems. For example, Crestron, Control4, RTI, Savant, Fibaro, etc.

HDBaseT Technology used to convert HDMI into a format which can be carried over network cable.

IR RX & IR TX
Infrared (IR) Receiver (RX) and Transmitter (TX). The RX ‘receives’ a signal from another remote control and the TX ‘transmits’ it.

IR Cascade
Describes the method by which IR captured on one MHUB system in a stack can be passed down to the next MHUB and so on.

MHUB Video or Audio distribution systems manufactured by HDANYWHERE.

uControl OS (uOS)
MHUB’s on-board operating system from which most settings can be configured. uOS can be accessed by entering the IP address of your MHUB in any web browser or from uControl app.

Stacking
If one MHUB is connected to another to form a larger system this is referred to as stacking or a stacked system. Only applies to HDANYWHERE hardware.

Tipping Point Compression (TPC)
Video content such as Ultra HD 4K 60 4:4:4 uses up to 18Gbps of data at any one time which is not possible over current HDBaseT technology. HDA makes transmission of 18Gbps content possible using TPC.

IR (Infrared) control

MHUB can manage IR signals and route them to sources, AVRs or displays. Using this feature will allow you to use a remote control and pass that IR command from your display location to MHUB or vice-versa.

Sending IR commands from a display ‘back’ to MHUB

This will enable backwards IR control (the most common form of IR control) where IR signals from a remote in any one of your zones is sent back to MHUB and your source device.

Sending IR commands to a display

  1. Connect an IR TX to port labelled “Source IR (OUT)” on MHUB. Ensure that the port number matches the port number of the corresponding video source input, labelled “Source (IN)”. For example, if you have Apple TV plugged in to port 3, then the IR TX cable should also be connected to Source IR (OUT) port 3.
  2. Place the IR TX bud (small tear drop part) in front of the IR window of the source. Repeat for each source device you wish to control.
  3. Connect an IR RX to port labelled “IR IN” on the display receiver.
  4. Place IR RX head in line-of-sight of the remote control.

1.5m

  1. Connect an IR TX to port labelled “IR OUT” on the display receiver.
  2. Place the IR TX bud (small tear drop part) in front of the IR window of the display. Repeat for each display you wish to control.
  3. Connect an IR RX to port labelled “Display IR (IN)” on MHUB. Ensure that the port letter matches the port letter routed to the display receiver.
  4. Place IR RX head in line-of-sight of the remote control.

Testing that IR control worksUsing the Master & Room remote

This section aims to verify that your MHUB’s IR control system is setup correctly and assumes that your MHUB has been wired as per the instructions laid out in this manual. Please refer to the MHUB wiring diagrams in this document to ensure that your setup matches that before proceeding with the verification below.

Testing basic operation from a display ‘back’ to MHUB

To verify that IR control is working correctly proceed to any display receiver location with an IR RX connected to it. Use the MHUB Room Remote to select a source with an IR TX connected to it at the MHUB end. You should notice that the MHUB switches to that source on your display. Now pick up your source remote control for the source you just switched to and attempt to control the source using the native remote control. If both work then you have setup IR control correctly. Repeat this step for all display receiver locations.

Testing commands from MHUB to a display

To verify that control commands from MHUB to your display are working you will need to use uControl, or test using the following method. 1) select a display that you wish to test 2) connect an IR RX to the corresponding Display IR (IN) input 3) ensure that the display receiver has an IR TX connected and that it is pointed to the display IR receiving window 4) take the display remote control to the MHUB location and point the remote at the IR RX, test the on/off command. The display should turn on or off. This will confirm that IR can pass from MHUB to your display successfully.

Working with identical source devices (discrete IR)

MHUB can work with multiple source devices that are identical due to its discrete IR function. Discrete IR avoids IR clashes that result in unwanted operation of all identical devices. MHUB manages this by targeting IR commands specifically to the source device being watched on the display. When using two or more identical source devices, take measures to avoid IR transmission leaks that could cause the identical source devices to respond in error. This includes simple measures like placing identical sources on different shelves or attempting to ‘hood’ the IR TX so that IR signals can not leak.

MHUB comes with two types of native remote control.

  • A Master Remote control
  • A Room Remote control

Both remote controls are limited to video switching operations only. The Master Remote control provides video switching control regardless of the room or zone that the command comes from. This is useful if MHUB is installed in an environment like a bar where you might want to switch all TVs from one source to another. The Room Remote control uses ‘contextual’ IR which means that it will only switch video sources for the zone or room that you’re in.

MHUB S (16+16x16) 100A/100DM: The Master Remote control requires two interactions to carry out a switch command. To switch sources on this system, select the output first (indicated by a letter) followed by the input (indicated by a number).

Cabling

You can use Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7 or Cat7a with MHUB S. Cat5e may work, but is not recommended, due to the bandwidth capabilities required by the system.

Optimum performance

Whichever network cable type you choose, ensure that the main wiring architecture is ‘solid core’ and not stranded ‘patch’ cabling. Patch cabling can be used for the last few metres of a run (e.g wallplate) but should be avoided over longer runs as signal transfer over stranded cores is significantly impacted. The use of pre-made leads is not recommended unless you can be absolutely sure of their construction credentials (i.e. solid core 568B). For optimum performance, use a single piece of Cat cable terminated directly at the transmitter and the receiver ends. Make sure to use the correct connector types (i.e. RJ45 solid core) crimp connectors.

Shielded cables

Shielded FTP cable is not a stipulation. However, if you are using this type of cable ensure compatible shielded accessories are used. Failure to terminate cable screen at all points can induce interference rather than eliminate it.

Patch panels and wall plates

If patch panels are terminated correctly then there is a minimal loss of distance. The use of wallplates and patch panels has the potential to cause increased resistance on the cable introducing pinch points for signal transmission and could reduce transmission lengths. TIP: Instead of using RJ45 wallplates, search for “brush plates” this will yield many results.

HDMI cabling

HDANYWHERE recommends using suitably robust and good quality HDMI cables. It is not advised to use passive HDMI cables over 5 metres in length either on the inputs or the outputs of MHUB or its display receivers. Where HDMI cables longer than 5 metres are required, HDA recommends utilising it own brand of long distance HDMI cables or suitable alternative. A good video demonstrating this can be found here: https://youtu.be/EbWAEndiCuU

Terminate using RJ45 connectors to 568B wiring standard.

Note: DO NOT USE COPPER CLAD ALUMINIUM/STEEL (CCA/CCS ) Cat CABLE.

MHUB control methods

MHUB S has been designed to be operated and controlled in numerous ways depending on your requirements. There are limited control options from the front panel and from the Master and Room remote, so attention needs to be paid to the method by which MHUB will be controlled. The methods to control and considerations for each are listed below.

uControl App & uControl Remote

Available for free on iOS uControl is MHUB’s native method of control. All of MHUB’s built-in features are available; offering comprehensive control over switching, source/display/volume control (depending on MHUB model) and executing Sequences in all zones. uControl communicates over the same Local Area Network (LAN) as your MHUB which allows for global control over the entire system regardless of what zone you are in. In the absence of a 3rd-party control system, HDANYWHERE recommends uControl as the method to control your MHUB on a daily basis. uControl Remote can be purchased as an accessory for this MHUB system and provides tactile control over all devices (including lights, blinds and shades) connected to the system.

Voice & wearables

All MHUB systems support voice control as standard via an Amazon Echo (Alexa) device or Apple Watch. Voice and wearable control is not designed to act as a primary control method but to assist the other methods listed on this page. Generally, these methods are used to execute Sequences or Functions rather than provide direct control over your AV device or the MHUB itself (for example: navigation, volume and playhead transport control).

Control systems (e.g Control4, Crestron, RTI, Savant etc)

Control via a 3rd-party control system is supported using our latest and most advanced API to date. For an up-to-date list of systems that MHUB S supports please visit the “Control Drivers” section of our support site: http://support.hdanywhere.com. Control varies depending on the control system being used but typically, switching is supported with other drivers able to offer more. Please consult a HDA Pro (page 19) to find out more.

uControl OS (uOS)

Any device with a web browser can control MHUB directly from uOS’ dashboard. From here it is possible to switch the MHUB and adjust volume (depending on MHUB model). The OS is also where all configuration for MHUB is done including how IR is passed when multiple MHUB S systems are stacked together.

Master and Room remote controls (IR)

MHUB supports the passing of IR commands from any display receiver location back to MHUB and vice versa, this is described on page 18.

Stacking Basics

MHUB S is a ‘stackable’ system meaning that it can be added to other compatible MHUB S systems to create a larger system.

Stacking combinations
MHUB S can be stacked with any other MHUB S system (8x8 or 16x16) and will support pairing with MZMA (6x4) 55. MHUB S can not be stacked with older MHUB models such as MHUB PRO 2.0, MHUB U or MHUB.

Stacking MHUB with a control system
If you intend to control your stacked MHUB setup from a control system then ensure that it supports the concept of a split video input source. Control system drivers for MHUB S are designed for standalone operation and you must ensure that you can use separate instances of the driver to support your (bigger) system.

Chapter 15 of 19

Stacking Basics

Up-to-date stacking guides can be found online

Guides and wiring diagrams for stacking can be found on our Support Site (http://support.hdanywhere.com).

Stacking MHUB & using IR cascade + uControl exclusively

You can control the entire system using uControl and built-in IR passback/ cascading systems on board MHUB S. If you intend on setting up MHUB to work exclusively from uControl then you will need a uControl Zone Processor (https://hdanywhere.com/products/ucontrol-zone-processor) to act as the controller for your system.

Caution: Document your wiring connections, especially the interconnects between MHUB.
It is advisable to have a drawing or a plan in place before you start to connect your MHUB systems up. Outputs from MHUB can act as inputs for Slave MHUBs and both can be switched to any input/output combination. This can get very confusing!

WHO WE ARE

We are HD CONNECTIVITY LTD trading as HDANYWHERE (“HDA”), a limited company registered under number 06046737 in England and Wales with its registered offices at The Haysfield, Malvern, WR14 1GF, United Kingdom.

OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU

We, HDANYWHERE warrant to you, the end user of the HDA hardware (the “Products”) that on the date of delivery of the Products to you, and from that date to the end of the period specified in your user manual or to the end of the period as extended by paragraph 3 if applicable (the “Guarantee Period”), the Products shall:
(a) match any description that has been provided to you;
(b) be free from any significant defects in their design, the materials used to make them, and the way they are made;
(c) be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Consumer Rights Act 2015); and
(d) be fit for any purpose held out by us.
We offer this guarantee to all our customers who are resident and have an address in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

EXTENDING YOUR GUARANTEE

On registering your Products with HDA Cloud, the guarantee offered in paragraph 2 by us will automatically extend for a period of three years, provided that your registration takes place within 30 days from the date of delivery. The three year guarantee extension starts automatically from the date that the original guarantee ends.

HOW TO CLAIM ON YOUR GUARANTEE AND YOUR REMEDIES

  • Up to 30 days: we will replace your product
  • After 30 days and up to the end of the 2-year standard guarantee period: we will repair or replace your product. If we are unable to repair or replace your product, we will provide you with a 100% credit of the price paid for the defective product redeemable in the HDA Factory Store.
  • After the 2-year standard guarantee period, i.e. within the 3-year guarantee extension period, all guarantee claims are handled directly by HDA in Malvern, England in a return-to-base manner.
  • If after the 2-year standard guarantee period, and within the 3-year guarantee extension period, we are unable to repair or replace your product, we will provide you with a 70% credit of the price paid for the defective product redeemable in the HDA Factory Store.
  • Incremental devaluation then occurs at a rate of 10% per year. So within year 4 since date of purchase = 60% credit value redeemable in the HDA Factory Store. Within year 5 since date of purchase = 50% credit value redeemable in the HDA Factory Store.
  • Discontinued or out of production items will be credited at fair market value towards a current product of equal or comparable capabilities and cost redeemable in the HDA Factory Store.
