Connect the SWMP to the control PC with a serial cable (a RS232 to USB cable is included in the
package)
If the software was connected via UART (RS232) last
time, software will connect to the SWMP
automatically vis RS232. If it was used at Network
last time, a ‘Network Timeout’ error message will be shown on screen and users need to set up as
below for RS232 connection in the software
•Choose ‘UART’ instead of ‘Network’

II. Input Format Shows the resolution of the input video sources
III. Audio Select
Auto: HDMI output embedded audio and analog audio output will get the
audio from the embedded audio of the HDMI input to be displayed on the
output channel. If the input source is DVI, the output system will get the
audio from the input analog audio
External: HDMI output embedded audio and analog audio output will get
the audio from the corresponding analog audio of the HDMI input to be displayed on the output
channel
IV. Output Type
Users can choose different output formats for certain output cards (e.g.,
HDMI output card can be used as DVI or HDMI, DVI output card can be used
as both digital and analog)
