IR Remote Control
Users can remote control the device within the range of 5 meters. Please
refer tothe following for more details.
NOTE: The numeric keys on the left of the controller represents each output on
the rear panel (marked in dark grey area) and while the right stands for the input
displays (marked in light grey area). For other function keys, please refer to the
picture as shown on the right of this page.
Please note the following descriptions:
Mn (output/monitor): buttons M1 ~ M2 on the left side of remote controller
Sn (input/source): buttons 1 ~ 4 on the right side of remote controller
1. A/V Source Selection
For source 1-4, just press the related push button on the right side of the controller.
Tip: Press Sn (right): Select Source-n
2. Turn ON/OFF Remote Output Signal
To turn on or off remote output signal, you may press the output port first, and then press VIDEO.
Tip: Press M1 / M2 (left) and then press VIDEO (toggle)
3. EQ Adjustment
To optimize video quality, users can adjust the video equalization (sharpness) for all video output ports
through push button configuration. Since 4 levels for EQ adjustment are provided, the output LED flashes
blue to indicate level 1-4 is selected and while it flashes red indicating level 5-8 selected. Press VIDEO and
press 4(right) to enter video adjustment mode. Next, press 4 repeatedly to adjust EQ level. And lastly press
VIDEO to exit the setting.
Tip: VIDEO →4(right) (enter this mode) →4(right) (press 1~8 times based on video quality) →VIDEO
4. Multi- Unit Application
Up to 16 units can share one remote controller. In order to avoid ambiguities in receiving commands
simultaneously, ID setting for each unit is strongly recommended.
4-1. ID Setting via IR Remote Controller
This function is designed to name the units via push buttons on the front panel and the remote controller.
Please follow the steps below.
Step 1 Power OFF the unit.
Step 2 Press and hold Fon the panel of the unit.
Step 3 Power ON the unit.
Step 4 Release FRIGHT AFTER Status LED flashes red.
Step 5 IMMEDIATELY (within a second or two) press one of the numbers from 1to 10 or x10and 1~6on the

13
RIGHT side of the IR remote controller to set it as the unit controller ID.
For example, press the number 4(right). This sets the unit IR remote controller ID as 4. To set the
unit IR remote controller ID as 15, press the number x10and then 5 (right) on the right side of the
controller.
The idle time out is 10 sec.
NOTE: If the controller ID set-up is needed for more than one unit, follow above Steps 1 to 5 with other units.
To reset ID, follow Step 1 to Step 4 but
Step 5 IMMEDIATELY (within a second or two) press VIDEO of IR remote controller.
4-2. ID Operation via IR Remote Controller
Each unit will respond to the same signal from the IR remote controller whenever the units are powered up. To
prevent the above case, after numbering the unit, users need to press and hold “SHIFT” and then press ID (n)
on the IR remote controller first. Afterwards, this unit will beep once. It means this unit is ready to accept the
oncoming commands via the IR remote controller.
Tip: SHIFT + n ( *nrepresents the RIGHT numeric keys in light grey area)
NOTE:
Because all units assume their IDs are active after re-powering up, the user needs to press “SHIFT” + ID
again to give commands to a certain unit.

II. GUI over Serial
(Note: The real system interface and operation may be further updated. Be sure to operate the system
according to the latest GUI system.)
A. Installing Application
The serial console (PC) with Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista/7 is needed to install the required software. Please follow
the step-by-step instructions as listed below.
All the interfaces shown in this section are for Windows 98 and above. Some of the details may be slightly
different in other versions of Windows.
Install the "AV Console Center”driver (Windows 98 and above)
Insert the CD into the CD/DVD-ROM drive and browse:
There are two ways to install the driver.
a) Manually copy the file "TuApp.exe" to the Windows platform and run it directly.
b) Run "Setup.exe" to automatically install the program on the Windows platform. The "Setup.exe" will
create a shortcut “AV Console Center" on the desktop, and a program group called "AV Console
Center”.
B. Uninstalling Application
The uninstall procedure differs according to the way you installed the program.
a) If you have manually installed the program, you can just manually delete the file "TuApp.exe” from the
Windows platform.
b) If you have installed "Setup.exe" before, you have two ways to uninstall the application. One is to
uninstall "AV Console Center" from the Control Panel in Windows. The other is by clicking the
“Uninstall” icon from the “AV Console Center” program group.

C. Description & Operation
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed for simple and user-friendly operation. We divide this
application into two parts—Basic Operation and Advanced Operation. For more information, please refer to
the following instructions.
Basic Operation
1. GUI Connection
After software installation, connect the DB9 RS-232 serial cable (straight type male-female) to the serial
port of Gate Repeater, and connect the other end to the serial port (COM1, COM2…) of your computer. Next,
open Program fileson Windows and then click “AV Console Center” to start GUI operation.
Step 1. Check “COM Port” and choose the proper serial port you connect, such as COM1, and set the Baud Rate as
“38400”.
Step 2. A dialog box will pop out indicating the device(s) is/are successfully detected.

18
Step 3.Double-click “Digital Switch Splitter” on the left block, and the basic information of the device would be displayed
on the right block (There are other ways to detect the device. Please refer to Toolbar Guidance / Action. )
*Note: Multi-layer cascade is not applicable through GUI.
2. GUI Toolbar Guidance
You can see the toolbar on the upper-left corner. Both top toolbars are identical in functions. For further
information, please refer to the following guidance.
2.1 File: Allow users to open or save topology files. A topology is a usually schematic description of the
arrangement of a network, including its nodes and connecting lines. Saving a topology file is highly
recommended.
2.1 Option Function
1 Open Existing Topology Open pre-stored topology file
2 Save Current Topology Allow users to save the current topology file in the install location of the
software
3 Save Current Topology
As… Allow users to save the current topology file in a specific location
4 Exit Exit the system
2.2 Actions: Detect all devices or connect the selected device.
When checking Detect All Devices, it will show the dialog box below to indicate successful detection of
the device(s).
2.3 View: Show or hide the (Icon) Toolbar / Status Bar (on the bottom of the window).
2.4 Tools: Select Environment to set up COM Port and Baud Rate or set up TCP/IP address for the device.
