describe its capabilities to a video source. This device features multiple EDID presets which can
be performed using the EDID rotary switch on rear panel.
By default, the EDID switch is set in position 0. Should any compatibility issues occur, please
set EDID using the following table.
Position Description
0 (default) Copy EDID from HDMI OUT

8. 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 1024x768@60Hz 2CH.
• API: Enter the API command in the “Command” textbox and then click “Send” to send
command to this device.
