NOTICE
1. While connecting a new monitor to the splitter, experiencing a short period of time no display
may be expected. Automatic EDID learning will analyze the newly connected monitor to see if
the EDID for the HDMI input is necessary to update!
2. For long range high definition HDMI transmission applications, please adopt CAT5/6 cable based
HDMI extenders.
3. Users need to install USB driver before applying firmware update process! Please search for
“PL2303” by Google and therefore use the most updated driver for your OS!
4. For firmware update through USB and since there are 2 independent microcontrollers in
AV-GM06J3-S1, users MUST follow different steps to complete the firmware update! For some
cases, users may need to update both controllers, but in most of the cases, only one of them
may need to be upgraded. For normal uses, please do not connect USB cable to the USB port.
Please also disconnect all the HDMI source and displays to avoid any other possibilities to cause
technical issues. A 2-pin DIP switch is used for firmware update, and users can access this switch
from the bottom of the unit. The following table demonstrates the functionality that users can
change through different pin combinations.

5. For updating the first microcontroller, please set the pin 1 & 2 of the bottom DIP as the positions
shown in the above table. Then, turn off the power, plug USB cable connected to your PC, and
then power up the module! In this setup, the power LED indicator will NOT blink, and this is
normal! Execute the attached or download EPFlash.exe, and the following window will pop up.
Click on “OpenFile” button to direct to the new firmware HEX file, and keep PORT at USB 0!
Meantime, keep “Program With Verification” selected, and then click on “START” button on the
bottom of the window! Wait for seconds until the update process is completed! After firmware
update is successfully accomplished, please unplug USB cable and power off the splitter!
6. For updating the second microcontroller if necessary, please execute the attached firmware
program as below first! After the “Firmware Writer” is executed, please set the pin 1& 2 of the
bottom DIP as Combination 4 in the above table to prepare to enter updating mode first. Wait
for 1 ~ 2 seconds, please set the DIP switch as Combination3. The “Firmware Writer” will load
automatically the latest firmware into the second micro-controller!
