Video Mode/ Graphic Mode
User can select to change between Video Mode / Graphic Mode using this button. The button state
will be save to flash, and remember after rebooting.
Video Mode: FW will automatically trade-off between bandwidth and video quality to ensure smooth
video playing experience.
Graphic Mode: FW will fix the trade-off to ensure best graphic/text viewing experience.
Anti-Dither (1/2/off)
Anti-Dithering Mode is design to work withATI graphic cards that provide dithering output.
Dithering output is used to make coloring looks better than its original color depth. It uses visual
transient to create a half-tone effect. However, this presents great difficulty for Video Compression
to maintain low bandwidth even if the source display seems static.
Currently, we only see Dithering Output withATI graphic cards.
To resolve this issue, Moving Colors Yellow Line provides Anti-dithering for 1 bit, 2 bit, or off.
If the source content does not generate dithering output and this feature is turn on. It will create a
blocking effect because Video Engine are unable to detect pixel changes. User can avoid this
issue by turning this feature to off.
Engineering Mode
1. Static IP: 192.168.0.88
2. User can connect to http://192.168.0.88 webpage for firmware update.
3. Firmware update file name will be:

Reset to Default
1. Reset Any changes in SPI flash setup flag.
2. Re-generate Random mac to avoid any possible MAC collision.After Reset to Default and
reboot cycle, a new random mac will be generated.

Use Loopback EDID(>A1.2)
This feature should be consider with the client side "Update EDID" feature.
Update EDID
"Use Loopback EDID" & "Update EDID" feature is used for Multicast Mode to select which monitor/TV
EDID is used for system wide EDID usage.
During multicast setup, there may be monitor/TV that has lower resolution. For example, 1 monitor/TV
with 720p resolution with mostly 1080p solutions. Please select the monitor/TV with lowest resolution,
to ensure all can be displayed correctly.
For customer that are using 1 pair of Host/Client with Multicast mode, the end user must update EDID
correctly. If not, it will cause many compatibility issue.
Operation:
Once the button event is triggered correctly at the client side, when system is setup correctly for
Multicast. The selected EDID will be update to Host Side EEPROM (HU7).
The same operation applies for Loopback EDID.
In the system setup, the last EDID updated will stay in the EEPROM. If customer setup this button
even many times, the last one triggered will be applied.
USB Link (ON/OFF)
This feature is used for USB with Multicast Mode setup.
The selected client can gain control by pressing USB Link, and release control by pressing USB Link
again.
Other clients can also gain control by pressing USB Link. The control will be transfer to whichever
client requests USB Link.

6. INSTALLATION
Device Connection
•Check the power supply is unplugged.
•Set up the group of the transmitter with the correspondent receiver
for signal extension and display.
•Connect the Transmitter to video source with HDMI cable, and
connect Receiver to a monitor or display with HDMI cable.
•Connect the USB cables from Transmitter to PC, and connect the
USB additional devices such as USB mouse, USB keyboard and
USB pen drive to Receiver.
•Connect Transmitter and Receiver to the Ethernet switch with
network cable.
•Power on the Transmitter, Receiver and all the connected devices.
•Power on and activate all the connected devices.

7. IP CONFIGURATION
The 4K HDMI & USB Over IP Extender can configure via LAN in the same
subnet.
1. Assign a LAN IP address to the computer in the same subnet. The IP
address default of the Transmitter and Receiver is B class Networking:
169.254.xxx.xxx.
Figure 6 Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
2. Connect the TX and RX with the Ethernet switch, Then connect the PC with
the Ethernet switch.
Because this unit support DHCP, Different unit with different IP address of the
factory reset, so The first thing we need know the IP address of each unit.
There is two way to get the IP address
1) Via “Node List”
Open the “Node List “in the “Tool” file, Press twice the “Node_list.bat” to enter
the dialog box. Then we can see all the IP address of both the TX and RX
show as bellow black dialog box.

Figure 7
Remark: If the IP address with “Client”, It’s the IP address of the RX
If the IP address with “Gateway”, It’s the IP address the TX.
2) The second way.
Connect all devices with proper cables, please refer to Figure 9
Figure 8

3) After activation, the device information including the Transmitter and
Receiver IP address will be shown in the lower right corner. Remember the
Transmitter and Receiver IP address on monitor screen and then plug HDMI
video source cable into Transmitter.
Figure 9
3. The administrator can input Transmitter or Receiver IP address
into address bar of web browser (Recommend the Google Chrome) to enter
the Extender Web UI.
If link success, administrator will see the Web UI as shown in Figure 11.
