PRODUCT OVERVIEW

B-260-HDMI-CTRL is an HDMI In-line Controller, with resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (chroma sub-sampling 4:4:4 8-bit only) and HDCP 2.2.

Its digital or analog audio outputs allow audio to be de-embedded from HDMI input and sent to audio distribution system, such as Amplifie. Its rotary EDID switch has 15 EDID presets and can help negotiate the HDMI handshake in certain situations, such as an old HDMI display with DDC channel invalid, or DVI display with audio amplified requirement

By auto-detecting input signal status, it could automatically trigger CEC commands to turn on or off CEC-enabled TV, pre-loaded RS232 commands to power on or standby projector, and relay control to turn on or off projection screen.

KEY FEATURES

1. If EDID copy fails, 1920×1080@60Hz with stereo audio will be set as input EDID.
2. You must reboot the device for EDID settings to take effect.

RS232 CONTROL TOOL

RS232 port configu ation tool is one control tool running on PC to pro-load the RS232 commands for this device to control the display. Connect a PC to the device via a UART-to-USB cable, running the Uart port configu ation tool to set the connection parameters correctly before send the pro-loading commands to the device. The baud rate for the device is 57600.

Uart port configu ation pool menus are described below:

• Baud rate: Choose the correct baud rate according to the sink device, then click “Connect” to connect with the device.
  Note: This might be different from the setting of 57600 above and is determined by the sink device you are connecting to.

• Power on: Pre-load and store the command for “power on” to a sink device, then click “Send” to send and store it on the device.

• Power off: Pre-load and store the command for “power off” to a sink device, then click
  “Send” to send and store it on the device.
  Note: If the sink device requires hex commands, make sure the Hex box is checked.

• Delay: Set delay time (0~30minutes) the sink device will power off automatically after it cannot detect the input signal, then click “set” to take effect.

• Set Terminator: Select the command ending after each RS232 command that you are sending from this device to the sink device. Then click “Set” to take effect.

• Set Relay Mode: Set relay mode for the sink device.
  Latch – relay closes and latches when it is triggered;
  Momentary – only closes for a moment and then opens after it is triggered.
  Then click “Set” to take effect.

• EDID Write: Import EDID file to this d vice.
  Choose File – click to browse for the EDID file on our computer.
  Import – click to import the EDID file into this dvice.
  Note: After the new EDID file is imported to this dvice, please set the EDID switch to position “9” and reboot this device, then the input EDID of this device will be set to the new EDID instead of 1024×768@60Hz 2CH.
