System Diagram UH-2VE-8K

The following diagram illustrates the typical input and output connection that can be utilized with 8K 1×2 HDMI2.1 Splitter UH-2VE-8K:

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 splitter, the DIP switch on the front panel 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 Status	Video Resolution	Audio Format
0000	Obtains EDID from the first detected display starting at HDMI output

User Defined EDID Setting

Except directly invoking the embedded EDID, the specific EDID can be customized. There are five EDID can be customized following the below operations.

Rename the user defined EDID according the following format.
EC_xx_xxxx_xxx.bin
• EC: Represents EDID.
• xx: Represents EDID ID. It is 11~15.
• xxxx: Represents the video parameter.
• xxx: Represents the audio format.
Example: EC_11_720P_LPCM.bin
Power on the splitter UH-2VE-8K, and then connect the splitter to the PC with USB cable (not included). The PC will automatically detect a U-disk named of “BOOTDISK”.
Double-click the U-disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” would be showed.
Copy the user defined EDID (such as EC_11_1080P_LPCM.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk.
Reopen the U-disk to check the filename “READY.TXT” whether automatically becomes “SUCCESS.TXT”, if yes, the user defined EDID was imported into the splitter and saved as its corresponding EDID ID successfully.
Repeat the above third to fifth step to copy other user defined EDIDs to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk.
Remove the USB cable, connect the adaptor to power on the splitter. The new EDID also can be invoked via the 4-pin DIP switch directly

Firmware Upgrade

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

Step 1.Connect the splitter to the PC with USB cable (not included).
Step 2. Power on the splitter, and then the PC will automatically detect a U-disk named of “BOOTDISK”.
Step 3. Double-click to open the U-disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” will be showed.
Step 4. Copy the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk directly.
Step 5. If the filename “READY.TXT” automatically turns to “SUCCESS.TXT”, the firmware was upgraded successfully. If the firmware upgrade failed, please check the file (.bin) and then follow the above procedure to operate again.
