  2. SINK EDID DOWNLOAD: To save the EDID from one of the connected displays to your local PC, select the appropriate sink from the dropdown list then press the “Download” button. Depending on your browser settings you will either be asked where to save the downloaded file, or the file will be transferred to the default download location on your PC.

  3. SET EDID INPUT CONTENT: Click on the preferred input(s) to open the EDID Source management window. Multiple inputs can be selected at once, if desired.
    THIS MATRIX PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING 6 DEFAULT EDIDS:

    UNIT’S DEFAULT EDIDS
    FHD/2CH| 1920x1080p@60Hz (4.95Gbps) & 8-bit color, LPCM 2.0
    FHD/MCH| 1920x1080p@60Hz (4.95Gbps) & 8-bit color, LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream
    UHD/2CH| 3840x2160p@30Hz (10.2Gbps) & Deep Color (8/10/12-bit), LPCM 2.0
    UHD/MCH| 3840x2160p@30Hz (10.2Gbps) & Deep Color (8/10/12-bit), LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream
    UHD+/2CH| 3840x2160p@60Hz (18Gbps) & Deep Color (8/10/12-bit), LPCM 2.0
    UHD+/MCH| 3840x2160p@60Hz (18Gbps) & Deep Color (8/10/12-bit), LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream

Select the new EDID source to use and the change will occur immediately.
Note: In most cases, assigning a new EDID to an input will cause the affected input to briefly blink out while the source adapts to the new information.
Note: In some cases it is possible for custom or external EDIDs to cause compatibility issues with certain sources. If this happens, it is recommended to switch to one of the 6 default EDIDs for maximum compatibility.

System Settings Tab

This page provides system configuration options including turning the unit’s power on/off, changing the network settings, resetting the system to factory defaults and updating the firmware.

  1. POWER: Press this switch to toggle the unit’s power between ON and OFF (standby mode).
    Note: While in standby mode the unit’s WebGUI, Telnet and RS-232 controls are still active.

  2. WEB USER SETTING: This section provides a way to change the user name and password for the Administrator account. Click on “Save” to confirm and activate any changes made to these settings.
    Note: The default username and password is “admin”.

  3. WEB LOGIN TIMEOUT (MINUTE): Select the length of time to wait before logging the user out of the WebGUI due to inactivity. The available range is from 5 to 60 minutes.

  4. NETWORK: The unit’s IP mode may be switched between Static IP or DHCP. In Static IP mode the IP, netmask and gateway addresses may be manually set. When in DHCP mode, the unit will attempt to connect to a local DHCP server and obtain IP, netmask and gateway addresses automatically. Press “Save” after making any changes to the IP configuration or mode.
    Note: The unit’s default IP address is 192.168.1.50. If the IP address is changed then the IP address required for WebGUI/Telnet access will also change accordingly.

  5. RESET TO DEFAULT: To reset the unit’s routing selections to the default settings, click the “Routing Reset” button. To reset the unit to its factory default state press the “Fadefault” button. After the reset is complete, the unit will reboot automatically.

  6. FIRMWARE UPGRADE: To update the unit’s firmware, click the “Choose File” button to open the file selection window and then select the firmware update file (*.bin format) located on your local PC. After selecting the file, click the “Upgrade” button to begin the firmware update process. After the upgrade is complete, the unit will reboot automatically.

Telnet Control

Before attempting to use Telnet control, please ensure that both the unit and the PC/Laptop are connected to the same active networks.

To access the Command Line Interface (CLI)

In Windows XP| Click Start > Run, type “cmd” in the search field and press Enter.
In Windows 7| Click Start , type “cmd” in the search field and press Enter.
In Mac OS X| Click Go > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.

Once in the Command Line Interface (CLI) type “telnet” followed bythe IP address of the unit (and the port number if it is non-standard) and then hit “Enter”. This will connect us to the unit we wish to control.

Note

  1. If the IP address is changed then the IP address required for Telnet access will also change accordingly.
  2. The default IP address is 192.168.1.50
