1. INTRODUCTION
This HDMI Audio Inserter is designed to insert an external audio signal
(analog or digital) into any HDMI or DVI source signal to generate
an HDMI compliant output with new audio. Both stereo LPCM 2.0
and multi-channel Bitstream audio is supported for insertion and the

will remain off.
4AUDIO LOCK: The LED will illuminate when a live non-LPCM source
(typically Bitstream) has been detected.
Note: When this LED is lit, please ensure that the connected HDMI
display device supports the Bitstream audio format being inserted.
5BYPASS/OPTICAL & L/R: This switch selects the source of the
audio to be embedded in the HDMI output. “BYPASS” passes the
audio directly from the HDMI input to the HDMI output without
modication. “OPTICAL” embeds the audio from the optical S/PDIF
audio input (LPCM 2.0 or Bitstream). “L/R” embeds the audio from
the analog stereo inputs (LPCM 2.0 only).
6SERVICE: This slot is for EDID management, control and rmware
update use. Connect directly to your PC/laptop using a standard
Mini-USB cable to connect using the PC software or to send
commands (via virtual COM port).

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 le 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
nd 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 and can
be changed by selecting from any of the available EDID options.
- There are six pre-dened “Internal” EDIDs, an “External” EDID
which passes the EDID from the connected display, and a “User”
EDID which is user-replaceable.
- To return the User EDID to its original value, please perform a
factory reset on the unit.
• The six Internal EDIDs are:
- FHD/2CH................ 1080p@60Hz with LPCM 2.0
- FHD/MCH .............. 1080p@60Hz with LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream
- 4K UHD/2CH.......... 4K@30Hz with LPCM 2.0
- 4K UHD/MCH......... 4K@30Hz with LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream
- 4K UHD+/2CH........ 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) with LPCM 2.0
- 4K UHD+/MCH ...... 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) with LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream
• 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 le by selecting the EDID source
from the drop down menu and then clicking the “ Save” icon.
- Upload: Previously saved EDID les (*.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.

8
-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 le (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
elds with basic information that can be easily edited to match
the user’s preferences.
- Clicking on the “ Load” icon will open a le load window and
after the *.bin le has been selected and loaded the EDID elds
will be populated with the information from that le. The same will
happen when the EDID is copied from the EDID Analyzer window.
• 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 elds within the EDID le 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

9
support options.
- Others: This tab contains options for supporting 3D and dening
the CEC Address.
Once the user is nished editing or creating an EDID it can be saved to
a *.bin le locally or uploaded directly to the unit using the “ Save”
and “ Upload” icons respectively.
6.4.3 System Tab
• Conguration & Firmware: Select the System tab to edit the unit’s
description (select the “ Rename” icon), to reset the unit to
