  9. DC 24V Power Connector: Plug in the included 24V DC power supply.

VEOCast Connection

VEOCast is a multiplatform wireless technology protocol allowing for two devices to detect and connect. Once connected, the source can be mirrored into the sink display without requiring additional applications. Devices like macOS, iOS, Android and Windows 10 can be used as input sources. When switching to the VEOCast input by pressing the “SELECT AUTO/3s” button, the Wi-Fi SSID and password will be shown on the display device as follows.

There are two working modes:

  • Screen sharing using the switcher internal wireless hot-spot
    • A device will be able to share its screen when connected to the internal hot spot of the switcher.
    • In this scenario, the source will only be able to share its screen wirelessly to VEO-SWM44 but it won’t be able to access the internet.Ecler-VEO-SWM44-Switcher-4x1-Presentation-Switcher-with-VEOCast-fig-1 \(5\)

Screen sharing with Apple devices (Airplay)

  1. Connect a compatible macOS or iOS device to VEO-SWM44 SSID using WiFi settingsEcler-VEO-SWM44-Switcher-4x1-Presentation-Switcher-with-VEOCast-fig-1 \(6\)
  2. Slide the screen to enter Control Center, click on Screen Mirroring and then the VEO-SWM44 SSID to start casting.Ecler-VEO-SWM44-Switcher-4x1-Presentation-Switcher-with-VEOCast-fig-1 \(7\)Ecler-VEO-SWM44-Switcher-4x1-Presentation-Switcher-with-VEOCast-fig-1 \(8\)

Screen sharing with Android Devices

  1. Connect your Android device to VEO-SWM44 SSID using Wi-Fi settings
  2. Slide down the Android screen and click on the Android Screen Mirroring options (Smart View for Samsung in this example) and click on VEO-SWM44 to start casting.
    • Note: in case your smartphone doesn’t include a Screen Mirroring app, you can download it from the Google Play Store.

Screen sharing with Windows 10

  1. Press P and then click “Connect to a wireless display” in the pop-up window.
  2. Click on VEO-SWM44 to start casting.Ecler-VEO-SWM44-Switcher-4x1-Presentation-Switcher-with-VEOCast-fig-1 \(11\)

Screen sharing when the source and switcher are connected to an existing network

  • In this scenario, both the VEO-SWM44 and the source device need to be previously connected to a common wireless network when screen sharing.
  • To do that, first, it’s required to enter the network credentials on the settings web page. See the Web settings chapter for more information,Ecler-VEO-SWM44-Switcher-4x1-Presentation-Switcher-with-VEOCast-fig-1 \(12\)
  • If both the source device and VEO-SWM44 are connected to the same network, the source device will be able to share content with VEO-SWM44 without the need to previously connect to the switcher’s internal hot-spot.
  • In this case, the source device will also be able to browse the internet as long as the common existing network has access to it.Ecler-VEO-SWM44-Switcher-4x1-Presentation-Switcher-with-VEOCast-fig-1 \(13\)

WEB SETTINGS
Once connected to the VEO-SWM44 SSID, it will be possible to customize the device settings by entering the web page available at 192.168.203.1 (Default IP).

The main menu will appear as follows:

Ecler-VEO-SWM44-Switcher-4x1-Presentation-Switcher-with-VEOCast-fig-1

Internet

  • This menu will show all the WiFi networks available to connect your VEO-SWM44 to an existing network (DHCP mode).
  • Manual setup is also available through the “add network” tab.

Resolution

  • This menu allows you to choose the output video resolution.

Display mode

  • With this option, it is possible to adapt the image shown choosing between “Fit to screen” and “Zoom to screen” adjustments.

Language

  • The settings menu is available in many languages selectable through this section.

Password

  • This section allows changing the password of the VEOCast connection.

Device Name

  • This allows you to customize the name of the device that appears on the screen.

Broadcast

  • This allows us to hide the VEO-SWM44 internal WiFi hotspot. When this mode is activated, manual access is required to enter the switcher’s WiFi SSID and its WEB GUI page.

Compatible Mode

  • It optimizes the performance of devices with older HDCP versions that could cause issues while screen sharing.

Hide IP Settings

  • With this setting, it is possible to hide the IP address shown on the welcome screen of the device to avoid unwanted access to the settings page.

WiFi Channel

  • With this setting, it is possible to set the preferred WiFi band and channels.

VEOCast

  • This option will bring an optimized performance of the screen-sharing feature due to the differences present in each of the most common operating systems. “Auto” mode is the recommended setting.

Upgrade

  • This tab will look for the latest firmware available. If an Internet connection is available, the automatic update service will be automatically enabled. It is completely required that the VEO-SWM44 is connected to the internet to complete this process.

FRONT PANEL CONTROL

Manual Switching
When the switcher is in manual switching mode, pressing the “SELECT AUTO/3s” button repeatedly will navigate between the four video inputs. Each corresponding source LED will light green immediately.
Auto Switching
Pressing and holding the “SELECT AUTO/3s” button for at least three seconds will enable auto-switching and turn the “AUTO” LED green. Auto Source can work either by Hot Plug or TMDS detection. See chapter RS-232 Control to learn how to switch between modes. When auto switching enabled, the switcher will switch according to the following rules:

  • When a new input is connected, the switcher automatically selects it. The input source can also still be switched manually.
  • When an active displayed source is removed, the switcher will switch back to the first active input following the established input priorities. The default order of priority is PC1 > PC2 > PC3> VEOCast. It is also possible to rearrange the priority order using the according control commands.
  • See Chapter RS-232 Control for further information.
  • If there’s a power cut, the switcher will reconnect to the last active input selected before shutdown upon power restoration.
  • If AUTO mode is deactivated, the current input source will not be changed.
  • Note: VEOCast input is not considered to be active when there is no screen-sharing connection.

Display Control

  • Manual Control: Pressing the “DISPLAY ON/OFF” buttons on the front panel will simultaneously send RS-232 and CEC commands to turn on/off the display device.
  • Auto Control: When detecting a video input signal (Hot Plug Detection), the switcher will automatically send CEC and RS-232 commands to turn on the display device.
  • Please refer to the chapter Special Commands for more details regarding RS-232 remote control.

EDID Settings

  • The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to match its video resolution with the connected display.
  • The DIP switch on the front panel can be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure compatibility with 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.
  • Note: The EDID DIP switch is only used for setting the EDID of the HDMI source device, and the USB-C source device will automatically gain the EDID of a display device.

FIRMWARE UPGRADE

When the device is connected to the internet, the firmware update will be done automatically.
In case of a manual update, the following steps should be followed:

  1. Prepare the latest upgrade file (.bin) and rename it as “FW_MERG.bin” on PC.
  2. Power off the switcher and connect the FW port of the switcher to the PC with a USB cable.
  3. Power on the switcher, and then the PC will automatically detect a U-disk named “BOOTDISK”.
  4. Double-click the U-disk, and a file named “READY.TXT” will be shown.
  5. Directly copy the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk.
  6. Reopen the U-disk to check the filename “READY.TXT” whether automatically becomes “SUCCESS.TXT”, if yes, the firmware was updated successfully, otherwise, the firmware updating failed, the name of the upgrade file (.bin) should be confirmed again, and then follow the above steps to update again.
  7. Remove the USB cable after the firmware upgrade.
  8. After the firmware upgrade, the switcher should be restored to factory default by sending command.
