to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, HDR 10, Dolby Vision and features advanced EDID management
option using 4-pin DIP switch on the front panel of the unit. It also supports downscaling
so a 4K video input can automatically be down scaled to a 1080p output when
connecting a display that only supports resolution up to 1080p. Stereo analog L/R
audio output is provided for audio de-embedding from HDMI input and the splitter
supports CEC and RS232 control.

5. DIP Switch Operation
The 4-pin DIP switch on the front panel of the unit is used for EDID management and
HDCP management. It represents “0” when in the lower (OFF) position, and it
represents “1” while putting the switch in the upper (ON) position.
Switch 1~3 are used for EDID setting. The switch status and its corresponding setting
are shown at the below chart.

Switch 4 is used for HDCP setting. The switch status and its corresponding setting are
shown at the below chart.
Switch 4 Status
HDCP
OFF (0)
Automatically follows the HDCP version of display device.
When display device has no HDCP, if source device have no
HDCP content, the video output has no HDCP content; if
source device has HDCP content, there are no video output.
ON (1)
Automatically follows the HDCP version of source device.
Note: The factory default switch status is “0000”, and it needs to be set to “1111” when
enable RS232 control to set EDID and HDCP.

6. RS232 Control
Connect the RS232 port to control device (e.g. PC) with RS232 cable. The splitter can
be controlled by sending RS232 commands.
RS232 Commands
The command lists are used to control the splitter. The RS232 control software (e.g.
docklight) needs to be installed on the control PC to send RS232 commands.
After installing the RS232 control software, please set the parameters of COM number,
bound rate, data bit, stop bit and the parity bit correctly, and then you are able to send
command in command sending area.
Baud rate: 9600
Data bit: 8
Stop bit: 1
Parity bit: none
Note:
⚫All commands need to be ended with “<CR><LF>”.
⚫In the commands, “[”and “]” are symbols for easy reading and do not need to be
typed in actual operation.
⚫Type the command carefully, it is case-sensitive.

7. Firmware Upgrade
Please follow the below steps to upgrade firmware by the Micro-USB port:
1) Prepare the latest upgrade file (.bin) and rename it as “FW_MERG.bin” on PC.
2) Power off the splitter and connect the Micro-USB (FW) port of splitter to the PC with
USB cable.
3) Power on the splitter and then the PC will automatically detect a U-disk named of
“BOOTDISK”.
4) Double-click to open the U-disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” will be showed.
5) Directly copy the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk.
6) Reopen the U-disk to check whether there is a filename “SUCCESS.TXT”, if yes,
the firmware was updated successfully, otherwise, the firmware updating is fail, the
name of upgrade file (.bin) should be confirmed again, and then follow the above
steps to update again.
7) Remove the USB cable and reboot the splitter after firmware upgrade.
