Panel Descriptions
Front Panel
Activity Display (Front):
a) When Power is applied all lights flash RED and the machine begins
to function. If no devices are plugged in, you can verify power by
looking inside the vent on the right side of the unit.
b) When the INPUT device is plugged in, the light blink RED while
“handshaking” is occurring, and goes SOLID once communication is
complete and signal is good.
c) When a sink (display) is plugged into an OUTPUT, the
corresponding light blinks RED until the “handshake” is complete.
Once the connection is made the OUTPUT lights will go SOLID (If a
sink or display is plugged in).

EDID Settings: The AC-DA18-AUHD uses a dual rotary style switch to house more EDID’s
and allow for future expansion. The dual rotary switches can be located on the side of the
device, and each rotary is representative of a number in the desired setting, (Left
Rotary=DIGIT ONE, Right Rotary=DIGIT TWO). The default mode is “00” which is both
rotary switches pointed to “0”, in this mode the device copies the EDID from the sink (display)
plugged into OUTPUT 1. Custom EDID settings are below.
EDID ROTARY Settings:
00: EDID COPY (See NOTE 1)

EDID Setting Cont. (Notes):
Note1: EDID Copy mode: EDID will be copied from sink on OUTPUT 1. The
AC-DA18-AUHD is set this way by default for maximum “Plug & Play”
Compatibility. If you change sink (Display) plugged into OUTPUT 1, please
follow the steps below if you wish to use the new sink’s EDID.
1. Start with power off
2. Set ROTARY SWITCHES to ‘00’.
3. Power on the unit
4. Power on the source device and connect the HDMI input port.
Note2:Cascading mode (Ideal for larger installations) Cascade mode does
not react to the EDID from the sink device. It sends the signal that you put in,
out. This is ideal for linking multiple units together. The method below is an
ideal way to use this function effectively.
To use cascading mode:
1. Start with power off
2. Fix an EDID on the FIRST unit in the series from the list above
(4K60, 4K30, 1080P, etc…)
3. Set the ROTARY SWITCHES on all subsequent units to “31”
4. Connect the source device
5. Power up the system
