System Connection

Usage Precaution

• Make sure all components and accessories included before installation.

• All of the power switches, plugs, sockets, and power cords should be insulated and
  safe.

• All devices should be connected before power on.

System Diagram

DIP Switch Operation

The 4-pin DIP switch on the front panel of the unit is used for EDID management and HDCP management. It 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 switch status and its corresponding setting
are shown at the below chart.

OUT1>OUT2>…… >OUT16.

0| 0| 1| 1920×1080@60Hz 8bit Stereo
0| 1| 0| 1920×1080@60Hz 8bit High Definition Audio
0| 1| 1| 3840×2160@30Hz 8bit Stereo Audio
1| 0| 0| 3840×2160@30Hz Deep Color High Definition Audio
1| 0| 1| 3840×2160@60Hz Deep Color Stereo
1| 1| 0| 3840×2160@60Hz Deep Color HDR LPCM 6CH

Switch 4 is used for HDCP setting. The switch status and its corresponding setting are
shown at the below chart.

When display device has no HDCP, if source device have no HDCP content, the video output has no HDCP content; if source device has HDCP content, there are no video output.

ON (1)| Automatically follows the HDCP version of source device.

Note: The factory default switch status is “0000”, and it needs to be set to “1111” when enable RS232 control to set EDID and HDCP.

RS232 Control

Connect the RS232 port to control device (e.g. PC) with RS232 cable. The splitter can be controlled by sending RS232 commands.

RS232 Control Software

Here take the software dock light as an example.

Installation

Please download the latest Software Version from the link below:

https://docklight.de/download/Docklight.zip

Then follow the installation wizard for installation on Windows 7 and 10.

After the installation, Docklight can be run for the first time and should look like the below screen shot:

Registration is not necessary unless you wish to save settings on exit, so unless you wish to register click on “OK” to close the window.

The next pop-up window can also be closed with “Continue”. An empty project is enough to send and receive commands easily (The default setting is always “Start with a blank project / blank script“).

Now you are in the main view, where commands are sent and feedback is received.

The next step is to select the correct COM port of the PC. To do this, double- click on
“COM1” in the corresponding setup window.

In the following window, select the drop-down menu labeled “Send / Receive on Common Channel”, select the appropriate COM port and then click on “OK” at the bottom right corner.

All other settings can be left at default for most applications, but refer to device RS232 settings to be sure.

In order to be able to send commands, open communication with the device by clicking on “Play”. (1)

Then the keyboard function must be activated, so that commands can be written in the “communication window”. (2)

Finally enter the command, for example “50701%”. This is then confirmed by pressing “Enter” to send. Any response from the connected device will appear in red. (3)

Note:

• All commands need to be ended with “”.
• In the commands, “[”and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to be typed in actual operation.
• Type the command carefully, it is case-sensitive.

Firmware Upgrade

Please follow the below steps to upgrade firmware by the Micro-USB port:

1. Prepare the latest upgrade file (.bin) and rename it as “FW_MERG.bin” on PC.

2. Power off the splitter and connect the Micro-USB (FW) port of splitter to the PC
   with USB cable.

3. Power on the splitter and then the PC will automatically detect a U-disk named of
   “BOOTDISK”.

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

5. Directly copy the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk.

6. Reopen the U-disk to check whether there is a filename “SUCCESS.TXT”, if yes, the firmware was updated successfully, otherwise, the firmware updating is fail, the name of upgrade file (.bin) should be confirmed again, and then follow the above steps to update again.
   Remove the USB cable and reboot the splitter after firmware upgrade.
