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

HDCP Mode

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

Video Resolution Down-scaling

The product supports video resolution down-scaling, the 4K input can be automatically degraded to 1080P output for compatibility with 1080P display, shown in the below chart.

Firmware Upgrade

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

1. Connect the splitter to the PC with USB cable.
2. Power on the splitter, and then the PC will automatically detect a U-disk named of “BOOTDISK”.
3. Double-click to open the U-disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” will be showed.
4. Copy the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk directly.
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.
6. Remove the USB cable after firmware upgrade.
