1. INTRODUCTION
This UHD+Multi Format to HDBaseT Switch is an HDMI, DisplayPort, and
USB-C switch with audio embedding and HDBaseT output. This unit can
send high denition uncompressed audio/video along with Ethernet,
USB, IR, and RS-232 over a single Cat.6A cable up to a distance of 100
meters. The HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C inputs all support resolutions
up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit). With the use of the 3.5mm audio input,
stereo audio may be embedded into the HDBaseT output as well. Despite
HDBaseT’s 10.2Gbps bandwidth limitation, high bandwidth 4K UHD+
HDMI video sources, up to and including 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit), can
be supported and will be automatically scaled down to 1080p when
necessary.
When paired with this unit’s standard receiver, a total of 3 selectable
USB host (Type-B/C) connections are available which provide access to
5 USB device (Type-A) ports forming a highly exible KVM extension
conguration (Note: Only 1 USB host may be active at a time).
Additionally, the USB Type-C input can provide power (up to 60W) to any
connected device (only available when the unit is powered locally). All
USB ports on the transmitter support up to USB 3.0 data transfer speeds.
Signal management features, such as automatic source switching based
on input signal detection, enable convenient hands-free operation.
Additional functionality such as advanced EDID management,
HDCP management, and basic signal event automation (which can
automatically send customised RS-232 or CEC commands to an external
device) are also available.
The unit can be powered locally with a 24V power supply, or remotely via
PoH (Power over HDBaseT) from a compatible HDBaseT receiver, which
allows for greater exibility in installations. It can be controlled via the
front panel button, WebGUI, Telnet, and RS-232.

EDID to all inputs simultaneously. Selecting“Appoint” allows for a
different EDID to be assigned to each individual input.
EDID Selection: Click on the input button on the left to open the
EDID Table List window. Select the new EDID source to use and the
change will occur immediately across all selected inputs.
Note: In most cases, assigning a new EDID to an input will cause the
affected inputs to briefly blink out while the source adapts to the new
information.
This unit provides the following 6 default EDIDs:
Unit’s default EDIDs
FHD 2CH 1920×1080p@60Hz (4.95Gbps), 8-bit colour,
LPCM 2.0
FHD MCH 1920×1080p@60Hz (4.95Gbps), 8-bit colour,
LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream
UHD 2CH 3840×2160p@30Hz (10.2Gbps), 12-bit Deep
Colour, LPCM 2.0
UHD MCH 3840×2160p@30Hz (10.2Gbps), 12-bit Deep
Colour, LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream
UHD+ 2CH 3840×2160p@60Hz (18Gbps), 12-bit Deep
Colour, LPCM 2.0
UHD+ MCH 3840×2160p@60Hz (18Gbps), 12-bit Deep
Colour, LPCM 7.1 & Bitstream
Note: In some rare cases it is possible for custom or external EDIDs to
cause compatibility issues with certain sources. If this happens, it is
recommended to switch to one of the 6 default EDIDs for maximum
compatibility.

15
6.5.5 Network Tab
This tab provides network configuration options including changing the
IP mode, viewing/setting the IP configuration, changing the admin login
password, and changing the Web Login timeout.
Note: This unit’s network defaults to DHCP mode.
1) IP Conguration: IP Mode may be switched between Static IP or
DHCP. In Static IP Mode the IP, netmask and gateway addresses
must be manually set. When in DHCP Mode, the unit will attempt to
connect to a local DHCP server and obtain IP, netmask and gateway
addresses automatically. Please press“Save” after making any changes
to the IP configuration or mode.
Note: If the IP address is changed then the IP address required for WebGUI/
Telnet access will also change accordingly.
2) Web Login Account: The WebGUI’s admin password can be changed
here. Please press“Save” after entering the old and new passwords to
enact the change.
Note: The default password is “admin”.
3) Web Login Timeout: Select the length of time to wait before logging
the user out of the WebGUI due to inactivity. Available range is from 0
to 35970 minutes. Setting it to 0 will disable the timeout function.
