Introduction
Overview
The DaisyNET II Scaling Receiver (SRX) is a 100m 4K / UltralHD Scaling
Receiver with HDBaseT in and HDBaseT out, and utilize HDBaseT technology
as daisy-chain medium to cascade multipleA/V sources, displays or any device
with HDBaseT connection, together in a chain to set up an Inline A/V
distribution system.
It supports one HDBaseT input and one HDBaseToutput for cascading.Alocal
HDMI out which can support up to 4k@60Hz scalar with audio extraction is
provided in the rear side to connect local monitor or zone displays. It has a
2-Port Ethernet Switch built-in so that Ethernet could pass through over
HDBaseT for LAN control or LAN access to sources or displays. RS232 port is
used to connect the display and control through LAN to RS232 protocol
converter, instead of controlling local device. USB charger is also provided to
charge mobile devices. It support scaling function to meet the best output
resolution according to the sink device and It also offers a rotary switch to
control different output resolution.
The SRX offers a future-ready UltraHD A/V distribution solution and
cutting-edge HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compatibility. With its user-friendly WEB
GUI and Telnet API to configure advanced functionality including CEC
controller, RS232 controller and Daisy-chain Grouping, it is perfectly suitable
for collaboration presentation in conference and education application.

Quick Start
Typical Application
DaisyNET II RX is designed to work together with DaisyNET II TX. It supports
cascade connection for multiple DaisyNET II TX and RX, offering scaler
HDMI output setting.
Connections and Installation
1. Connect the HDBT OUT port of DaisyNET II TX 1 to the HDBT IN port of
DaisyNET II TX 2, connect the HDBT OUT port of DaisyNET II TX 2 to
the HDBT IN port of DaisyNET II TX 3, connect the HDBT OUT port of
DaisyNET II TX 3 to the HDBT IN port of DaisyNET II RX 1, connect the
HDBT OUT port of DaisyNET II RX 1 to the HDBT IN port of DaisyNET II
RX 2 to finish a Daisy-type connection.
2. Using quality HDMI/DP/VGA cables, connect an HDMI/DP/VGA source
(such as Blu-ray, games console, satellite/cable TV, media server etc.)
to HDMI IN/DP IN/VGA IN port of the DaisyNET II TX.

12
3. Connect the HDMI display device (LED/LCD display or monitor) to the
HDMI OUT of the DaisyNET II RX.
4. Power on all devices.
5. Hold press the ShowME button on the first DaisyNET II TX for 10s to
start the Daisy-chain sequence. All DaisyNET devices in the link will
obtain a new IP address in sequence.
Note:
1. Once all devices are powered on after connection, users must sort the
DaisyNET devices firstly according to the above step 5, otherwise it will
cause IP conflicts when operates on multiple devices cascaded.
2. Any reset, removed or newly added DaisyNET device in cascaded
connection would also cause IP conflicts, please re-sort the Daisy-chain
link according to step 5.
3. Enable the CEC function of the display device allows users to control
the CEC-enabled display via CEC commands.

Application Diagram

13
Auto CEC
DaisyNET II RX supports auto CEC to automatically power on or off the
connected display such as a TV or projector.
When detecting the HDBT signal change from efficient to null, the shutdown
timer of the device is starting. Once time is up, the device will automatically
send out CEC shutdown commands to shut the display down. Contrarily,
once the HDBT signal change from null to efficient is detected, the device will
automatically power on the display immediately.
Here takes 3 applications for examples.
Example 1 (DaisyNET II TX and RX for Chain-Type connection):
If the front DaisyNET II TX with source(s) inserted is in ShowMe activated
status, remove the source(s) from it until no source remains; the HDBT signal
status for RX will change from efficient to null, then a timer for shutdown will
start.
Situation 1: When time is up, the connected displays will be off automatically.
Input any source again, the displays will be turned on immediately.
Situation 2: Before time is up, input any source, the timer will be off.

14
Example 2 (DaisyNET II RX and TX for Chain-Type connection):
If DaisyNET II TX2 is ShowMe activated, the DaisyNET II RX will not detect
any HDBT signal change under this connection. That's to say, the RX will not
send Auto CEC command to power off the display, the display will maintain
current state.
Example 3 (DaisyNET II RX and TX for Ring-Type connection):
If the DaisyNET II TX2 is ShowMe activated, the DaisyNET II RX HDBT input
is the DaisyNET II TX2 HDBT output. When remove the source(s) from TX2
until no source remains, a shutdown timer will start, and all of the DaisyNET II
devices will send Auto CEC commands to power off the displays once the
timer times out.

15
Web Control
DaisyNET II offers a Web GUI for product configuration.
Before access the Web GUI, please sort the devices via ShowMe button of
the first DaisyNET II TX firstly.
Access the WEB GUI
Step 1.
Make sure that your computer and the DaisyNET II devices are on the same
subnet. The default IP address for the DaisyNET II TX is 192.168.1.121, and
for the DaisyNET II RX is 192.168.1.122.
Set the computer’s IP address as 192.168.1.X (X is suggested to range from
2 to 253). Connect DaisyNET II to your computer using a Cat cable.
Step 2.
Input the IP address into a web browser (as seen below).
A login screen will appear, enter the default password “admin” and click
Login.

16
Note: If the IP address of DaisyNET II has been changed, users can search
the new IP address by using SmartSetGUI tool or pressing the reset button to
restore the DaisyNET II to its default settings.
Run SmartSetGUI tool to obtain IP address. Click Search, it will display the
new IP address.
WEB GUI Introduction
The WEB GUI contains four sub-menus: Status, Configuration, Advanced and
Device List.
Status
This sub-menu displays the current status of DaisyNET II.

17
Device in red represents DaisyNET II TX is working in ShowMe mode.
Device in green represents DaisyNET II TX and RX are connected in the chain
but not working in Show Me mode.
Click the device icon, it will display the alias name, IP address, sequence,
grouping mode status and input source of the DaisyNET II.
Note:
Grouping OFF means the device is not working in grouping mode.
Grouping ON means the device is working in grouping mode.
