NOTICE
1. While connecting a new monitor to the splitter, experiencing a short period of time without display
might be expected. The splitter will do Automatic EDID learning which analyzes the newly connected
monitor to see if the EDID for the HDMI input is necessary to update!
2. For firmware update through RS232, users MUST turn the power off, set the dip switch to “ON”, and
then connect an RS232 cable between PC and device. Open the firmware update software, [1] set the
correct com port and baud rate (57600 is recommended), [2] click the “File” button to direct to the
firmware HEX or BIN file, power on the device and press “Program MCU” symbol to firmware update.
Once update process is done, please power off the device and set the dip switch back to “1”.
