Introduction

Congratulations on your selection of the Juneau video matrix
switch. The Juneau is an 12x16 high definition component video
matrix switch.

Juneau Features:

•

12 inputs of component video (YPbPr)

•

16 outputs of component video

•

High bandwidth video section (140 MHz) for 480i up to
1080p.

•

Attractive enclosure featuring brushed aluminum and high
gloss acrylic front, with black top cover.

•

Universal AC input power, 90-240VAC 50/60Hz with
standard IEC320 receptacle.

•

All gold plated RCA connectors ensure a long life without
corroded connectors.

Installation

The Juneau does not require ventilation, so it can have other
equipment such as amplifiers stacked on top of it. The unit is also
equipped with padded feet so it may be stacked on top of other
equipment without causing damage. In either case, to avoid
scratches, never slide equipment on top of one another.

Unpacking

The Juneau shipping carton includes the following items:

Juneau Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00026-A_NeoPro-Juneau.doc)

1 – Matrix Switch Unit

1 – AC Power cord

1 – 6’ USB cable

1 – 6’ RS-232 cable

1 – User’s Guide

1 – CD-ROM driver disc

1 – Pair of rack mount ears with screws

If accessories were ordered, the carton may also contain:

1 – IR remote control

Front Panel Protective Film

There is a clear film over the front panel to protect it during
manufacturing and shipping. Remove this film before using your
matrix switch.

Inputs

Connecting source devices to the matrix switch can be done in any
order. All inputs have the same performance, so organize them as
you see fit.

Be sure to connect the green cable to the Y signal, as this is
handled differently than the Pb and Pr (blue and red) signals.

Outputs

Having a true matrix switch allows you to treat each output as a
‘zone’. For example, Output 1 can be the home theater zone, and
output 2 can be the master bedroom zone. In this case you would
run a set of component video cables to each zone. The maximum
length of cable to each zone will vary on the quality of the cable.,

Juneau Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00026-A_NeoPro-Juneau.doc)

If high quality cable is used, the Juneau can support zones 300 feet
away.

RS-232 Serial

The serial port on the rear panel is labeled “RS-232”. It is wired as
a “DCE” device, which means it should be connected to a normal
PCs RS-232 port with a straight through cable. Connection to most
control systems should be with a straight through type serial cable,
such as the cable provided with the matrix switch.

For the command protocols, please refer to the manual entitled
“Integrator’s Guide to Serial Protocols”.

USB

If you plan to use the USB communication feature of the matrix
switch, connect the USB cable to the PC’s USB port (flat end), and
the other end (square end) to the matrix switch.

Optionally you may choose to connect this cable later when you
are prepared to install the driver CD-ROM. Connecting the cable
will activate MS Windows plug and play wizard. On disconnect
and reboots, MS Windows will remember what COM port this
device was assigned.

Rear Panel IR

The rear panel connector labeled “IR” is for direct connection to a
infrared control system. It is a 3.5mm 2 pin jack, and accepts
unmodulated IR. It is polarity insensitive, however normally the
‘tip’ is the active signal, and the ‘sleeve’ is the ground.

Note: Some IR repeater systems are designed to work only with
their own IR blasters. Many integrators will cut these blaster cables
and add a 3.5mm plug on the end. In some cases this will work
fine, however some low end IR repeater systems will have too
much noise in their signal and can prevent signals from being
properly decoded.

Juneau Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00026-A_NeoPro-Juneau.doc)

Power

Once all the input and output connectors are in place, connect the
power cable to the AC input. If you are not in North America, you
may use your own standard IEC320 power cable with the matrix
switch. The power supply will detect whatever voltage is supplied
(from 90V to 240V AC, 50-60Hz), and adjust accordingly.

Rack Mounting (optional)

The product ships with the rack mount ears detached from the unit.
This is to prevent damage to the chassis during shipment. Use the
supplied screws to attach the ears. The rack ears are universal, so
they fit on either side.

The chassis is a 2 rack units high only when the bottom feet are
removed. Removal requires a Philips screwdriver. Be careful when
turning over the unit as to not scratch the top paint

Operation

Overview

The Juneau is designed to be controlled form a third party control
system, either via RS232 or IR. The buttons on the front panel
allow the control of power and status feedback, however matrix
control must be performed from external sources.

Using the front panel

The Juneau matrix switch front panel uses NeoTouch

™

technology. This is different from many other front panels you
have seen with ‘membrane’ or ‘dome’ type buttons. The
NeoTouch

™

panel senses a human finger touching the acrylic

panel without any moving parts. You need not press hard to
activate a button--a light tap will do.

Powering the Juneau switch on and off is accomplished by
pressing the power button once.

Two button presses are required to shut down the matrix.

In the normal powered on mode, the Juneau will display the last
command received. This is helpful for troubleshooting control
sequences. If the last command attempted was not received
properly or was not formatted correctly, it will not appear on the
display.

You can also use the left/ right arrow keys and the select button to
access the setup menu. The setup options will be discussed in the
next section. Generally when you are presented with a choice on
the display, pressing select will toggle through the choices.
Changes in the matrix switch performance or features take place
right away, so changes do not need to be saved manually.

Juneau Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00026-A_NeoPro-Juneau.doc)

Controlling from an IR remote control

IR Control follows the basic sequence of:

#, Out, # #

The Juneau has been optimized for a short

command sequence using only 4 IR codes. The first button selects
the input number. The NeoPro remote (Fig. 1, below) uses the
bottom row of buttons for selecting inputs 10-12.

Output selection is a sequence of 2 numeric buttons, i.e.. “0 6”
selects output 6.

Figure 1 - IR Remote numeric button locations

Juneau Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00026-A_NeoPro-Juneau.doc)

Party Mode Shortcut:

To route a single input program to all outputs, also known as party
mode, use the select key followed by the desired input:

Select, #

Sends input # to all outputs

Last Command Feedback

The normal display shown on the front panel display can be
changed to the command feedback screen. This screen will display
the last received command, and is very helpful during control
system programming and debugging.

To access this screen, use the

(left arrow) or

(right arrow)

buttons either on the front panel or the IR remote until the Last
Command screen is displayed.

Setup Menu

The user setup menu is

only accessible with an IR remote

, not from

the front panel. The same settings can also be controlled from the
serial ports. Refer to the Serial Protocols document for more
information on the commands.

To start the setup menu, press

Setup

on the remote control.

Use the

(left arrow) and

(right arrow) buttons to navigate

through the different options.

Use the

Select

button to change any of the optional settings.

The menus are as follows:

Juneau Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00026-A_NeoPro-Juneau.doc)

Setup: Panel LEDs

This option will turn off all the front panel LED lights. The
matrix’s behavior is otherwise unchanged. The default in ON

Setup: Disp Lamp

This option will set the display brightness to one of four levels.
The default is 100%

Setup: AC Pwr

This option control what the matrix will do when AC power is first
applied, or after a power outage. Selecting “ON” (default) will
force the unit to turn on, and the previous switch state will be
restored. Selecting “Stby” will cause the unit to enter standby
mode.

Setup: Touchpanel

This option will enable or disable the front panel buttons. The
default in ON, which means enabled.

Setup: TouchSense

Setup: TouchDelay

These two options work together to control the front panel touch
button performance. The TouchSense setting controls the overall
sensitivity, while the TouchDelay setting controls the detection
delay, similar to a ‘debounce’ function.

If the buttons are falsely triggered by outside interference, setting
the TouchSense to “LOW” and the TouchDelay to “HIGH” will
likely remedy the situation.

If the buttons are difficult to press with smaller fingers, setting the
TouchSense to “HIGH” will improve the sensitivity. Setting the
TouchDelay to “LOW” will not change the sensitivity, but will
make the button response faster.

Juneau Matrix Switch User’s Guide (DOC42-00026-A_NeoPro-Juneau.doc)

Any of the above selections will be applied and saved instantly.
You may press exit at any time to return to the home screen, or
wait 10 seconds and the home screen will return on its own.

Care and Maintenance

The Juneau matrix switch does not require any regular
maintenance besides keeping it clean.

Never use harsh cleaners or solvents on the front panel. Do not
spray cleaners directly on the front panel. There are several dusting
products for electronics, and standard glass cleaner may be used.
Spray the cleaner onto a clean soft cloth first, then wipe the front
panel.

Should the Juneau matrix switch fail to operate as expected, please
contact NeoPro Support for troubleshooting and repair services.
THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS OR USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE THE CABINET.
