Vertex² Overview
Team HDfury would like to thank you personally for purchasing the 4K Vertex²!
This unique HDMI2.0b device supports up to 4 inputs for true full 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz 18Gbps bandwidth
signals. It will allow you to solve any HDCP error, extract full HDMI audio from any HDMI sources and up
to Atmos HBR over TrueHD from eARC TVs to feed older AVR and Matrix any SD/HD/FHD/UHD/HDR/DV
or PC signals up to 600MHz. Upscale to 4K or downscale to 1080p any channel individually, display
relevant information on OLED/OSD, select between multiple edid banks for each inputs. Inject, replace
or translate HDR metadata and AVI infoframe. It is also capable of auto switching any sources including
X1X, ATV4K, Shield, etc… Based on incoming content type it can send relevant RS232 commands to any
RS232 controllable display. Control can be completed with IR codes, push buttons on the unit, via IP or
RS232 (MAC/WIN/Linux) or through embedded Webserver (for any web browser based device such as
MAC/WIN/Linux computer or Android/iOS phones, tablets and others).
Additionally, Vertex² offers a unique +5V management at output to solve standby issue of any sinks.

Vertex² Power/Status OLED
The Vertex² OLED will turn ON when power supply is applied; Vertex² Logo will be displayed followed by
a similar default infopage to the one represented below.
[192.168.1.117]: Vertex² IP address will be displayed here if LAN CONTROL RJ45 output is connected to
your LAN/WAN router/switcher. mDNS and other way are available if you cycle OLED infopage.
[FW: 0.6]: Firmware Version of Vertex² is reported here.
If any active input is connected, the default OLED infopage will indicate which input is active (IN1 on
above pic). Vertex² will process handshake with the active input and once completed the signal
information will be displayed. 4K50 4:2:2 BT2020 12b LLDV 594MHz 2.2 on above pic.
If any sink is connected at TX0 output, TX0 section of the default OLED infopage will report its EDID
name (LG TV on above pic) and its max supported resolution (4K60 4:4:4 8b BT2020 HDR on above pic)
on the first line. Second line will display the current signal going to it, the small arrow on the right
indicate if signal is Upscaled ↑, Downscaled ↓or passing thru untouched →
[OLED OFF]: Insufficient power, OLED timer expired (default 30s) or OLED OFF. Use the Vertex² power
supply; press any button if OLED timer expired and make sure the OLED is ON (refer to p.35).
[OLED ON]: The Vertex² unit is receiving power and is ready to accept an HDMI signal.

Accessing Vertex² Web Server
It is mandatory for accessing Vertex² web server to have an Ethernet cable connected between LAN
CONTROL RJ45 connector and your local router or switcher.
By default Vertex² use DHCP to retrieve an assigned IP automatically. You can set static IP from the
Vertex² webserver config page.
In case you have setup a wrong Static IP and unit is not reachable anymore, you can set DHCP ON from
OLED menu to retrieve access via dynamically assigned IP again (as in default mode).
There is 3 ways of accessing the Vertex² web server:
1. Universal way through IP address:
Simply open up a web browser on any devices located on the same network than the Vertex²
unit and type in the IP address that appears on the Vertex² OLED directly in the address bar of
your web browser. (ex: 192.168.1.137)
2. Hostname access:
Instead of typing IP address directly, you can use the Hostname listed on Vertex² OLED LAN INFO
page (press INFO button to cycle OLED page till you see LAN INFO and Hostname listed).
Simply open up a web browser from any devices located on the same network than the Vertex²
unit and type in the Hostname that appears on the Vertex² OLED directly in the address bar of
your web browser. (ex: http://VERTEX2-XX/)
XX represents the 2 last digits of your Vertex² unit unique serial number.
3. mDNS access:
For iOS/MAC devices, you might want to use mDNS access. Retrieve the mDNS address from
Vertex² OLED LAN INFO page (press INFO button to cycle OLED page till you see LAN INFO and
mDNS address listed). Simply open up a web browser on any MAC/iOS devices located on the
same network than the Vertex² unit and type in the mDNS address that appears on the Vertex²
OLED directly in the address bar of your web browser. (ex: http://VERTEX²-XX.local/)
XX represents the 2 lasts digits of your Vertex² X unit unique serial number.
Please note that only IP address access is universal and should work across any web browser based
devices as long as they are located on the same network. Others methods should work just fine in many
cases but we cannot guarantee that they will always do, in case of issue accessing the webserver, please
use IP address.

Vertex² Web Server Top section
Immediately upon accessing the webserver you will end up on the default INFO page with the above top
tier section displayed.
From that top tier section you will be able to retrieve the following information (also displayed on
Vertex² OLED default page and once you cycle info page with INFO button to reach LAN page info).
Hostname: Display Vertex² hostname for URL access
mDNS: Display Vertex² mDNS for URL access
IP Address: Display the current IP Address of the Vertex²

[FIXED EDID with L/R stereo]
This mode is a 4K60 4:2:0 8b 300MHz stereo EDID table. It can be used as a security EDID to ensure a
picture in every setup/situation. (Except for FHD and 4K30 Max sink device)
[CUSTOM USE]
Pick and use EDID from a selection of preloaded EDID tables or load any EDID bank of your choice. By
default the selected EDID table is a 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz with Full Audio capabilities. When you select an
EDID bank from the dropdown list of 100 different EDID tables available, there is nothing else to do,
once you click one, the EDID of your choice will be loaded and HPD events will reset the signal to present
your selected EDID automatically. Each input can have an individual EDID assigned.
