BETA - Two-way RTI control of the WyreStorm MX-0808-SCL 8x8 seamless scaling matrix over RS-232 or IP.
BETA RELEASE - built from WyreStorm's published API (revision 1.1, firmware 1.6.1 and later) and tested against a simulator, but not yet run on a real MX-0808-SCL. Use the 2-hour trial to confirm it on your unit before buying, and email david@smarthomeprogramming.com.au with anything that does not behave as described - beta testers get priority fixes. Two-way control of the 8x8 seamless scaling matrix over RS-232 (9600 8N1) or Telnet: 64 crosspoints with paired command and feedback tags, per-output AV and HDMI audio mute, CEC display power, the four analogue line outs, multiview, video wall recall, named presets, scaler, EDID, HDCP, USB host selection, and per-input signal status with Signal Found and Signal Lost events. Includes a Web Object dashboard, a telnet diagnostics console, the Integration Note PDF and a sample project.

Introduction
Two-way control of the WyreStorm MX-0808-SCL 8x8 seamless scaling HDMI matrix (7 HDMI inputs plus 1 USB-C input, 8 HDMI outputs, 4 analogue line outputs). The driver uses WyreStorm's published RS-232 / Telnet API (API revision 1.1, December 2025).
Important Note
BETA. This driver is built from WyreStorm's published API and tested against a simulator, but it has not yet been run on a real MX-0808-SCL. If anything does not behave as described, please email david@smarthomeprogramming.com.au with your firmware version and the driver log - beta testers get priority fixes.
The matrix never reports changes on its own. Everything you see on the panel is read back by polling (every 5 seconds by default), so a change made on the front panel or in the matrix web page appears within one poll.
WyreStorm warn that a wrong parameter can lock the unit up. The driver checks every port number, level and preset number before it sends anything, and refuses (and logs) anything out of range.
Driver Features
- 8x8 video routing, including route-to-all and output off, with one button tag per crosspoint (Out N In M).
- Per-output AV mute and HDMI audio mute.
- Display power over CEC (each output or all), Auto CEC on/off and its delay, and raw CEC commands.
- Line-out audio: Follow Video or Independent mode, source per line out, volume (0-100 or dB) and mute.
- Multiview on/off, six layouts, a source per window and which window feeds the audio.
- Video wall on/off and layout recall (walls are built in the matrix web page).
- Save, recall and name presets, with a name and status for each.
- Output resolution, picture fit, output HDCP, input EDID, input HDCP and USB host selection.
- Input and output signal status, video and audio format, with Signal Found / Signal Lost events per input.
- A web dashboard on the processor for a browser or an RTI Web Object.
Supported Devices
- WyreStorm MX-0808-SCL (firmware 1.6.1 or later for the full API).
- Multiview and video wall commands are for the MX-0808-SCL v2 / firmware 1.6.1 or later. On an older unit, turn Multiview and Video Wall off in Driver Properties.
System Requirements & Prerequisites
- RTI processor with firmware that supports driver runtime 24 (XP-3, XP-6s, XP-8, XP-8s, XP-8v or later).
- Integration Designer 11.4 or later.
- RS-232: a 3-wire connection (TX, RX and ground) to the matrix's 3-pin RS-232 port, set to 9600 8N1. This is not the 115200 the MX-0404-SCL uses.
- Network: the matrix on the same network as the processor, with Telnet-over-TLS turned OFF on the matrix (the driver uses plain Telnet, port 23).
Limitations
- No feedback is pushed by the matrix; changes appear within one poll interval.
- Multiview and video wall layouts must be created in the matrix web page. The driver turns them on and off, picks layouts and sets window sources.
- The API does not say which HDMI output carries the multiview picture. Check this on the unit.
- Line-out routing only applies in Independent mode. The driver switches mode for you.
- Tested against a simulator built from the WyreStorm API, not yet against a real MX-0808-SCL.
Troubleshooting
- No reply over RS-232: check 9600 baud, the ground wire, and that TX/RX are crossed.
- No connection over the network: make sure Telnet over TLS is disabled on the matrix (port 23, not 24).
- A button does nothing: check Last Error. Out-of-range requests are refused and logged rather than sent.
- Debug console: telnet to the processor on port 12602 (Driver Properties > Debug) and type
help, status, routes, audio or mv.
