Overview

AMP (Advanced Matrix Programmer) configures Omega, Ultra, and MaxColor Series devices into an HDMI matrix switching system. It is the modern replacement for JADConfig and supports both standardized and custom (alternate) configurations.

If you were previously using JADConfig for Omega or Ultra systems, you can continue to maintain those systems with it. However, all new systems should be configured using AMP.

System Configuration Options

Standardized Configuration (Recommended)

AMP automatically configures both the managed switch and all Just Add Power Encoders and Decoders. This creates a fully integrated video matrix that can also use extra switch ports for standard network devices.

• Supports Omega, Ultra, and MaxColor Series devices.
• Uses supported switches from the Standardized Configuration Supported Switch List.
• Select Build & Expand to begin configuration.
• Supports up to 63 switches, 101 Encoders, and 3023 Decoders.

Alternate Configuration

AMP configures the Encoders and Decoders only. You are responsible for configuring the switch according to the required network design.

• Switch must meet the minimum requirements.
• Select Alternate Configuration from the bottom-left corner of AMP to begin.
• Supports up to 9,999 Encoders and an unlimited number of Decoders (depending on network design).

For help choosing between configurations, see Standard vs. Alternate Configuration.

v1.6.2

Added

• (Alternate) Added support for adding devices to an existing system, including both on-site and off-site workflows.

Changed

• (Alternate) Matrix ID information now only appears for devices currently being added, making the workflow easier to follow.
• (Alternate) Devices on the incompatible devices page can now still be selected and reviewed without disconnecting the adapter.
• (Alternate) Report files now remain available until the setup process is fully completed.
• (Alternate) Basic channel switching now works in Unified mode.
• Improved workflow text and labels throughout AMP for clearer setup guidance.

Fixed

• (Alternate) Corrected Encoder and Decoder labels in the source switching table.
• (Alternate) IP and subnet fields now validate properly when auto-filled from previous entries.
• (Alternate) Device model information now displays correctly when hovering over disabled devices.
• (Alternate) Going back during setup no longer unexpectedly disconnects the adapter.
• (Alternate) Firmware compatibility is now checked before advancing to the Complete or Incompatible page.
• (Alternate) Rescan and Continue buttons are now properly locked while device discovery is in progress.
• (Alternate) Gateway, broadcast, and network addresses can no longer be assigned to devices.
• (Alternate) Existing devices are no longer unintentionally modified when applying new configuration changes.
• Improved stability and display behavior for device tables and page transitions.

v1.6.1

Added

• Automatic retry of saved configuration changes if devices temporarily go offline during setup.
• Confirmation step after retries to verify settings were successfully applied.
• Clearer error messages when IP or IGMP configuration fails.
• IGMP exports now include full network details (gateway and subnet).
• Clearer validation messages for invalid IP address ranges.

Fixed

• Corrected gateway and subnet handling during configuration.
• Fixed retry behavior to ensure devices retain correct identity during reconfiguration.
• Resolved RX channel reassignment inconsistencies.
• Corrected IP address read issues in certain scenarios.
• Fixed UI timing issues during device configuration and status updates.
• Improved validation for broadcast and out-of-network IP addresses.

Changed

• Stronger validation when changing device IP and IGMP settings to prevent misconfiguration.
• Improved configuration retry behavior to properly refresh device tables.
• The Unconfigured page now reloads automatically if configuration does not fully complete.
• Device settings apply/save/reboot process improved for better reliability.
• RX channel assignment now automatically selects from the lowest assigned TX channel.
• Reboot delay slightly increased to improve stability after applying settings.
• Firmware update status messaging improved for clearer progress feedback.
• Improved table layout and scrolling behavior for larger systems.

Known Issues
