SYSTEM CONNECTION

The following diagram illustrates typical input and output connection that can be utilized with the switcher:

Note: We recommend the use of CATx shielded cables in order to guarantee the performances declared in the HDbaseT protocol specs.

BUTTON CONTROL

Source Switching

1. Press the SOURCE AUTO button to switch to next source device, and then the corresponding input LED will turn green.
2. Press and hold the SOURCE AUTO button at least 3 seconds to enable auto switching mode. For auto switching mode, remember the following rules:
   • The switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at HDMI IN 1> HDMI IN 2 > USB-C.
   • New input: Once a new input signal detected, the switcher will automatically switch to this new signal.
   • Source removed: When an active source is removed, the switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at HDMI IN 1.
   • Reboot: The switcher can save the last configuration before losing power. If the last switching mode is auto switching, the switcher will automatically enter auto switching mode once rebooted, then detect all inputs and memorize their connection status for future rebooting using. If the last selected input source is still available, the switcher will switch to this input. Otherwise, it will switch to the first available active input source starting at HDMI IN 1.
   • Exit auto switching mode: Press and hold the SOURCE AUTO button for 3 seconds to exit the auto mode, and the input source will not be changed.

Display Control

1. Press the blue-backlight DISPLAY ON/OFF button to turn on/off the display by automatically sending CEC and RS-232 command (Programming required). When sending the ON command, the button will turn blue; when sending the OFF command and the button will be not illuminated.
2. The DISPLAY ON/OFF button also can be programmed by IR learning feature or RS-232 command. For more details, please refer to User Defined Button.

RS-232 Control

RS-232 Connection

According the RS-232 control mode, there are three types of RS-232 connection for different application.

1. To control the switcher from local, please connect a control device (e.g. PC) to the RS-232 port of the switcher.
2. To control the switcher from remote, please connect a control device (e.g. PC) to the RS-232 port of the remote receiver.
3. To control the far-end third party device, please connect the control device (e.g. PC) to the RS-232 port of the switcher, and then please connect the third-party device (e.g. projector) to the RS-232 port of remote receiver.

RS-232 Control

After devices are connected accordingly to the RS-232 connection diagram, VEOXWT44E can be controlled by a PC (using serial terminal software) or by a third party control system.

Please set the correct COM number on your PC or control system and baud rate, data bit, stop bit and parity bit as follows:

Baud rate : 9600.
Data bit: 8.
Stop bit: 1.
Parity bit: none.

With these parameters it will be possible to communicate with the VEO device and send the commands listed in the next chapter.

RS-232 COMMANDS

The following table lists all the commands available for the VEO-XWT44E.

Note:

• • Command ending: “”.
• Feedback Error: “COMMAND ERROR” or “OUT OF RANGE”.
• In the table, “[”and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to be typed in the command.
• Type the command carefully, it is case-sensitive.

EDID Management

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to match its video resolution with the connected display. By default, the source device obtains its EDID from the connected display, but when the video resolution of display is higher than 4K@30Hz, the video resolution of source device will be 4K@30Hz.

Meanwhile, since the display with different capabilities is connected to the switcher, the below RS-232 commands can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure the compatibility in video resolution.

If the  user-defined  EDID  has  not been uploaded, send this command will set EDID to “3840×2160@30 Stereo”.
