1 POWER Button: Press this button to power the unit on or off.
2 POWER LED: This LED will be lit GREEN when the unit is receiving
power.
Note: Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds (until the LEDs
begin flashing) to perform a factory reset.
3 LINK LED: This LED will illuminate to indicate that a live source has
been detected on the input port. When no source is detected the LED will
remain off.
4 LPCM LED: This LED will illuminate when LPCM audio has been
detected on the HDMI input.
5 TV/BITSTREAM/LPCM 7.1CH Switch: This switch selects the EDID
that is provided to the input. The “TV” setting passes the EDID from the
connected display without modification. “Bitstream” is the User 1 EDID
and by default has a native resolution of 4K@60Hz with support for
LPCM 2.0 and Bitstream formats. “LPCM 7.1CH” is the User 2 EDID
and by default has a native resolution of 4K@60Hz and limits the audio
support to LPCM 7.1. The two User EDIDs can be modified using the PC
software.

6.4 EDID Commander
(1) This unit uses an EDID Management application which allows the user to
copy the EDID from an attached display, edit an existing EDID file stored
on the PC or create a basic EDID from scratch. The EDID can then be
uploaded to the unit for use.
(2) Please obtain the EDID Management software from your authorized
dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily find it.
(3) Before connecting the unit to your PC, please install the appropriate
Virtual COM Port Driver depending on your Windows version. Next,
install the EDID Management software.
(4) After the installation has successfully completed, an icon for it will appear
on the windows desktop. Launch the software by double-clicking on the
icon and the EDID Management device detection window will open up on
your screen.
(5) After launching the software, power the unit on and then connect it to the
PC/laptop using a USB cable. Click on the “ Search” button and
any detected units will be displayed in the list. Clicking on a detected unit
will open the EDID Commander window.
6.4.1 EDID Controller Tab
• Mode Select: The currently selected EDID is displayed here.
- The “User 1” EDID corresponds to the “Bitstream” setting on the front of
the unit. The “User 2” EDID corresponds to the “LPCM 7.1” setting on
the front of the unit. Both of these EDIDs are user-replaceable.
- To return them to their original values, please perform a factory reset on
the unit.

7
• Save/Upload/Analysis: EDIDs may be saved to a PC, uploaded from a
PC or analyzed.
-
Save: Any EDID from the unit or the connected HDMI display can be
saved to your PC as a *.bin file by selecting the EDID source from the
drop down menu and then clicking the “ Save” icon.
-
Upload: Previously saved EDID files (*.bin format) can be re-uploaded
into the unit by selecting the User EDID to replace from the dropdown
and then clicking the “ Upload” icon. Before accepting the upload, the
software will check and verify that the EDID’s header and checksum
values are acceptable.
-
Analysis: To analyze any EDID stored within the unit, select the EDID
to view from the dropdown and click on the “ Analysis” icon.
6.4.2 EDID Creator Tab
• Select: Click on the EDID Creator tab to begin designing a new EDID from
scratch (select the “ New” icon), to modify an existing EDID stored on
the PC as a .bin file (select the “ Load” icon) or to edit an EDID copied
from the unit via the EDID Analyzer’s edit option.
- Selecting “ New” will automatically populate the various EDID fields
with basic information that can be easily edited to match the user’s
preferences.
- Clicking on the “ Load” icon will open a file load window and after the
*.bin file has been selected and loaded the EDID fields will be populated
with the information from that file. The same will happen when the EDID
is copied from the EDID Analyzer window.

8
• Edit: The following tabs provide access to a wide range of EDID
information which can be edited:
-
Descriptor: This tab allows for the editing of various description and
information fields within the EDID file such as Manufacturer Name,
Monitor Name, etc.
-
PC Timing & SD/HD/UHD: These tabs allow for the selection of the
resolutions and refresh rates that the EDID will report as supported.
-
Audio1 & Audio2: These tabs allow for the selection of which audio
formats, audio frequencies, channels and speaker locations are
supported.
- Color Space: This tab allows for the selection of which color formats
and bit depths are supported, including BT.2020 and HDR support
options.
-
Others: This tab contains options for supporting 3D and defining the
CEC Address.
Once the user is finished editing or creating an EDID it can be saved to a *.bin
file locally or uploaded directly to the unit using the “ Save” and “ Upload”
icons respectively.
6.4.3 System Tab
• Configuration & Firmware: Select the System tab to edit the unit’s
description (select the “ Rename” icon), to reset the unit to factory
defaults (select the “ Reset” icon) and to view the unit’s current hardware
and firmware version information.
