TRANSCRIPT
AVPro Edge Video Switchers can be controlled with Mira Connect™, Aveo Systems’ smart control appliance. This document includes the information required to integrate with Mira Connect.
Control InterfaceThe AVPro Edge Video Switchers are controlled over Ethernet (port 23) or over RS-232 (using a Global Cache IP2SL on port 4999). Mira Connect must have a network route to the device to control it.
Regardless of which control interface option is used, set a static IP address on the equipment or Global Cache IP2SL, or use a ‘reserved’ lease on a DHCP server to ensure the IP address of the equipment does not change over time.
To view the IP address of the AVPro Edge switcher, press the Input 3 and Input 4 buttons on the front panel together for 3 seconds.
Functionality SupportedMira Connect supports video switching audio and video together (audio follows video) when changing video inputs to outputs.
Models SupportedAC-MX family of products.
Software VersionsTested with AVPro Edge AC-MX88-AUHD-NSFS version 1.10.
Integration StepsTo integrate the AVPro Edge Video Switchers with Mira Connect, follow these steps:
Add an AVPro Edge Video Switcher to the room in Mira Portal (https://mira.aveosystems.com), select a model number, and enter the IP address of the device.
If you are configuring the control system before you have an AVPro Edge video switcher, select ‘Simulate equipment’ to continue. For more information on creating rooms and adding equipment in Mira Portal, see our short training videos.
Using the Video Inputs tab, enable the video inputs by clicking on their input. Next, select an icon, and enter a label and a description. The labels and descriptions will appear on the display menu within Mira Connect.
In this example, we’ve added TV Tuner, Room Computer, Digital Signage, and Local Laptop inputs. Scroll, as necessary to configure all the inputs.
Click ‘Add Equipment’ to add the device to the room. You can edit the device by clicking the icon to the right on the device name.

If Mira Connect can not connect to the AVPro Edge Video Switcher on the network, a red triangle will appear as shown in the figure on the right. To resolve a connection issue, edit the device (by clicking the icon to the right on the device name) and confirm the IP address and the video switcher model. Ensure that the Mira Connect device is on the same network or has a network route to the equipment to be controlled.
Click Update Equipment when done and Mira Connect will continue to connect to the device.
Mira Portal will show the equipment status as a green circle with a check mark once the AVPro Edge Video Switcher has been confirmed at the specified IP address.
When connecting an output from a video switcher to a display or other device, add the display to your room (in this case, an LG LV/UV/UX series display), and edit the display’s video inputs.
For the desired input on the display, select ‘Use Sources Connected to Other Equipment’, as shown in the following figures. Next, select the video switcher and the desired output (OUT 1 in this example) from the video switcher that is connected to that input on the display as shown in the following figures.

The display menu for the LG display will appear on Mira Connect as in the figure on the right. Selecting an input will automatically cause the AVPro Edge video switcher to switch inputs to the selected output and also ensure the display is powered on and set to HDMI 1.
RS-232 InterfaceWhen using the Global Cache IP2SL interface for serial control, see our Global Cache integration guide. Ensure the baud rate on the Global Cache IP2SL matches the baud rate configured on the switcher. Default RS-232 settings for AVPro Edge Video Switchers are 57,600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no flow control. Use a straight-through mini-phoenix to DB-9F RS-232 cable as shown later in this document.
