Sender unit
The back panel of the Sender unit contains three banks of DIP switches. Each bank
contains four DIP switches. These DIP switches control EDID, HPD, HDCP, IR, and
HDBT mode. The default setting, for each DIP switch, is in the “down” (OFF) position.
Each DIP switch (1 - 12) is arranged from left to right. DIP switches 11 and 12 are not
used. Although the DIP switch numbers do not appear on the unit, we have included them
for easy reference.
If a DIP switch is in the “up” position, then it is ON. If a DIP switch is in the “down” position,
then it is OFF.
DIP Feature Description
1 Local / pass-through EDID ►ON
Allows all video and audio features of the
connected device to be passed to the source
device.
►OFF (default)
Copies the downstream EDID locally in HDBT
mode; modies downstream EDID to support
only up to 1080p60 8-bit in Long Reach
mode.
2 Hot-Plug Detect ►ON
HPD pass-through. HPD will toggle,
depending on the HPD status of the display
(sink) or source device.
►OFF (default)
HPD is always high, even when the display
is hot-plugged (disconnected from then
reconnected to the source device).
