EDID data transfer
Please follow the procedure as below to allow the source device to obtain its EDID data
from the display which is connected to the OUT 1 port:
1) Set the 4-pin DIP switch to status “1110”.
2) Connect the source device to IN port, and connect the display to the OUT 1 port.
3) Long-press the pinhole at least five seconds on the rear panel until the input LED
blinks up to indicate the splitter enter into EDID copy mode.
4) When successfully copy the EDID data from the OUT 1 port to the input source, the
input LED will blinks three times. If that fails, the copy process will repeat 5 times or
less. If it still fails, the input LED will go out and the source device still save the
previous EDID data.
6. Firmware Upgrade
Please follow the steps as below to upgrade firmware by the Micro-USB port on the rear
panel:
1) Connect the splitter to the PC with USB cable, and then power on the splitter. The
PC will automatically detect a U-disk named of “BOOTDISK”.
2) Double-click the U-disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” would be showed.
3) Directly copy the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk.
4) Reopen the U-disk to check the filename “READY.TXT” whether automatically
becomes “SUCCESS.TXT”, if yes, the firmware was updated successfully. If not, the
firmware updating is fail, the name of upgrade file (.bin) should be confirm again, and
