DIP SWITCH
The AV-GM06Y3-S1 has a built-in EDID profiles designed to cover most of the widely used
resolutions for the ease of installation.
Default EDID
Native/preferred timing: 1680 x 1050p at 60Hz (16:9)
Detailed timing #1: 1920 x 1200p at 60Hz (16:9)
Standard timings supported:
1920 x 1080p at 60Hz 1152 x 870p at 75Hz

Learning EDID from front panel
The EDID learning function is only necessary whenever you encounter any display on the DVI output
port that cannot play video properly. Because the DVI source devices and displays may have various
level of capability in playing video, the general principle is that the source device will output the
lowest standards in video resolutions to be commonly acceptable among all DVI displays. In this
case, a 1024x768 output would probably be the safest choice. Nevertheless, the user can force the
router to learn the EDID of the lowest capable DVI display among others to make sure all displays
are capable to play the DVI signals normally by performing the procedures from the front panel of
AV-GM06Y3-S1:
1. Select the desired Output Port and Input Channel that the EDID of the display connected to this
specified output port can be learned for the specified input channel.
2. Press the “” button of the Output Port and “▬” button of the Input Channel at the same time
for 2 seconds.
3. Release these two buttons. The EDID of the display connected to the chosen output will be
written to the chosen input.
4. If the operation is successful, the LED of Input Channel will show (OK). If the operation is
not successful, it will show (failure).
If the user wants to restore the default EDID profile to any specified input, please follow the steps:
1. Select the desired input that needs to restore the default EDID profile matching the LED on the
Output Port (not Input Channel!).
2. Press the “” button of the Output Port and the “” button of the Input Channel at the same
time for 2 seconds.
3. Release these two buttons. The default EDID profile will be restored to the input port selected
and display on the LED of Output Port. If the operation is successful, the LED of Input Channel
will show (OK). If the operation is not successful, it will show (failure).

port connection to the RS-232 port of the AV-GM06Y3-S1.
2. Set the pin#1 and pin#3 of [SW Main] at ON []for firmware update mode.
3. Set pin#2 at respective positions to assign which Block to be updated.
4. Power on the AV-GM06Y3-S1. The firmware update program should begin this update sequence
automatically. If not, please check the RS-232 connection status between PC and
AV-GM06Y3-S1.
5. After the OK message shows up to indicate the firmware update sequence for designated
Block is complete, please turn off the AV-GM06Y3-S1.
6. Repeat step 3 ~ step 6 if you want to update the firmware of the remaining Blocks.
7. Set the [SW Main] switch position to Normal Operation Mode.
8. Power on the AV-GM06Y3-S1.

CHANNEL CONTROL
Method A: Push Button
1. Use the “＋”or “－”channel button on output port to select which port to be changed.
“＋”: change selected output port in ascending order
“－”: change selected output port in descending order
2. Push the “＋”or “－”channel button on Input channel to select the HDMI input source
you want to display on this selected output port in step 1 in sequential order. Once
you reach the desired input channel you want to display on this selected output port,
leave it and the setting will be effective in a few seconds.
Method B: IR Remote Control
Firstly please push one of the INPUT buttons to choose which HDMI input source you are
going to setup. After that, you can have multiple outputs playing the same content from
the selected INPUT #1 - #8 by pushing the corresponding OUTPUT buttons. The setting
will be effective in a couple of seconds.

Method C: Software Control through RS-232 or Ethernet
Using the control software located on the included software CD, it is possible to fully
control the matrix switch by either RS-232 or Ethernet connection.
There are three primary sections of the control software interface: the toolbar at the top,
the input selection area on the left and the output selection area on the right. The input
and output selections are intuitive. The Toolbar details are explained below.

Setting
The “Setting” button brings up the communication configuration menu with the following
controls:
The “Get” button reads the connected device’s ID number.
The “Set” button assigns a new device ID number to the
connected device.
The “Rename” button opens up the String Table menu which
allows you to assign custom names to inputs and outputs
within the software.
The “Ethernet” section allows the user to read and write
Ethernet settings from/to the unit. Ethernet setting changes
must be made while under RS-232 control. Select the “Write
To Device” button to store your setting changes.
The “Communication” section allows the user to select
between RS-232 and Ethernet control.
Note: After making changes to the Ethernet settings the user must power cycle the unit
for the new settings to become effective. If the unit receives commands from both
Ethernet and RS-232 ports at the same time the Ethernet commands will have
priority.
Scan
The “Scan” button brings up the Serial Port Scan menu which
allows the user to scan the computer’s COM ports for connected
units.
The “Select” section allows you to manually select the COM
port and Device ID of the unit you wish to control.
The “Scan” button will cause the software to scan all
available COM ports and display which ports have
connected devices.
After you have selected the device you wish to control,
click on “OK” to finalize your selection.
Note: Selecting Device ID 255(Super) will cause the software to send commands that will
affect units with any Device ID on the selected COM port.

11
Linkage
The “Linkage” button will cause the software to re-read the active Input and Output routes
on the matrix switch. You may need to use this if you have made changes to the matrix
switch by some method other than the control software.
Open/Close
The “Open” and “Close” buttons are used to open and close the COM port or Ethernet
connection to the matrix switch.
Mapping
The “Mapping” button provides an alternate method
for selecting the Outputs you wish to begin
connecting your Input to.
Choose the “Select All Output” menu item
then select an Input from the Input Selection
Area on the left side to send that Input to all
Outputs.
Choose the “Unselect All Output” menu item
to de-select all currently selected Outputs
from the currently selected Input.
Choose one of the “Select Input n” menu
items to make that Input your active input.
Then select all of the Outputs you wish to
send that Input to from the list of Outputs in
the Output Selection Area on the right side.
Fast Select
The “Fast Select” drop down allows you to quickly
route single Inputs to single Outputs (1:1
mapping) or a single Input to all Outputs.
Choose the “Input Num - Output Num”
menu item to set each Input to route to the
Output of the same number. (Input 1 to
Output 1, Input 2 to Output 2, etc.)
Choose one of the “Input n - All Output”
menu items to send the selected Input to all
Outputs.

12
Direct Input/Output Selection Area
It is also possible to directly select Inputs and Outputs using the buttons and drop down
menus located in the Input and Output Selection Areas to the left and right.
To directly send an input to an output, open up the drop down menu to the right of
the Output and select the Input to route to it. The connection line will move to
indicate the new route.
To route an Input to more than one Output, select the Outputs you wish to affect in
the Output Selection Area on the right (each button will turn grey to indicate it is
selected). After you have selected all of the Outputs you wish to affect, select the
Input you wish to send to those Outputs from the buttons in the Input Selection Area
on the left. The connection lines will move to indicate the new routes.
