DIP Switch Operation

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 first connected display. Meanwhile, since the displays with different capabilities are connected to the extender, the DIP switch on the front panel of transmitter can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure the compatibility in video resolution. The switch represents “0” when in the lower (OFF) position, and it represents “1” while putting the switch in the upper (ON) position.

Switch 1~3 are used for EDID setting. The DIP switch status and its corresponding setting are shown at the back of the product.

Switch Status Video Resolution Audio Format
000 Pass Through
001 1080P 2CH
010 3840×2160@30Hz 2CH
011 3840×2160@30Hz Multi-CH
100 3840×2160@60Hz 2CH
101 3840×2160@60Hz Multi-CH
110 3840×2160@60Hz HDR Multi-CH (Supports PCM 2CH, PCM5.1, Dolby Digital

5.1,DTS 2CH)
---|---|---
111| User-defined EDID (Upload the EDID by Micro-USB port)

Note:

  • 2CH: Supports LPCM 2CH.
  • Multi-CH: Supports LPCM 8CH, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD , Dolby Digital5.1, DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital Plus.

User-defined EDID Setting

Except directly invoking the built-in EDID, the specific EDID can be customized by following the below operation process.

  1. Rename the user-defined EDID according the following format.
    EC_xx_xxxxx_xxxx_xxx.bin

    • EC: Fixed value
    • xx: EDID ID. It is “15”.
    • xxxxx: Video resolution.
    • xxxx: Refresh rate.
    • xxx: Audio format.
      Example: EC_15_3840x216060Hz Dolby.bin
  2. Connect the FW port of transmitter to the PC with USB cable, and then power on the transmitter, the PC will automatically detect a virtual disk named of “BOOTDISK”.

  3. Double-click to open the disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” will be showed.

  4. Copy the user-defined EDID (such as EC_15_3840x2160_60Hz_Dolby.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” disk.

  5. Reopen the disk to check the filename “READY.TXT” whether automatically becomes “SUCCESS.TXT”, if yes, the user-defined EDID was imported into the transmitter and saved as its corresponding EDID ID successfully.

  6. Remove the USB cable, and then reboot the transmitter.

  7. Now the new EDID can be invoked by setting the DIP switch status to “111”.

HDCP Mode
Put the switch 4 on the “ON” position to select HDCP Active mode, or on the “OFF” position for HDCP Passive mode.

Switch Status Mode HDCP
OFF (0) Passive (Default) Automatically follows the HDCP version of

source device.
ON (1)| Active|

  • If the input video has HDCP content, the HDCP version of HDMI output is HDCP 1.4 for broader video solution.
  •  If the input video has no HDCP content, the HDMI output has no HDCP too.

ARC Mode

The front panel of receiver provides a buttons to enable or disable ARC mode, as below figure shows:

Press the button with paper clip or other sharp tool to enable the ARC mode, and then the left LED illuminates blue. Press it again to exit the ARC mode and the LED is off.

ARC Mode Display (e.g.TV) Audio Transmission Path
ON ARC is supported The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the

receiver via HDMI cable, and then it will be output by the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter.
ARC is not supported| Connect the TV to the ARC Audio In port of receiver with an audio cable. The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via the audio cable, and then it will be output by the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter. Note that if the ARC mode is ON, the Audio Breakout port of receiver has no audio output.
OFF| /| The TV audio can’t be back to the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter. The Audio Breakout port of receiver is connected to speaker or amplifier for HDMI source audio de-embedding.
