RS-232 Operation and Console Commands
The HDMV may also be controlled via RS-232 commands; this feature requires an RS-232 card
installed on your computer or a USB to RS-232 adapter. First connect the RS-232 cable between
your PC and the HDMV.
Next connect to the device using HyperTerminal or a similar serial
data application and an DB9 for RS-232 connection. The settings for
the connection are shown in the picture on the right.
Any serial data application similar to HyperTerminal will be able to
connect to the HDMV provided the Bits per second are 115200, the
data bits are set to 8, the Parity is“None,” the stop bits are“1,” and
there is no ow control. HyperTerminal comes standard on windows
XP and can be enabled on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows
8. There are many applications available for windows, Linux, and
Mac operating systems.

The EDID (Extended Display Identication Data) of your monitor or display can be programmed
into the HDMV. This will allow the HDMV to pass essential display information between the display
and the attached sources. Information pertaining to color depth, resolution, and sound must be
properly congured in order for the optimum viewing .
To program the EDID rst disconnect any inputs to the HDMV and plug a monitor in to the output.
Next power the device on.
Plug an RS-232 cable or USB to RS-232 adapter into the HDMV and your computer.
Programming the EDID
Any serial data application similar to
HyperTerminal will be able to connect to
the HDMV provided the Bits per second are
115200, the data bits are set to 8, the Parity
is “None,”the stop bits are “1,” and there is no
ow control. HyperTerminal comes standard
on windows XP and can be enabled on
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows
8. There are many applications available for
Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.
1. Connect a monitor to the output port of the HDMV.
2. Connect to the HDMV using RS-232 (use PuTTY or HyperTerminal).
3. Type in“debuguon” followed by <ENTER> to go to Debug Mode. You will not see any
feedback until you press the <ENTER> button.
4. If this has been done properly, you should see the message“CLI Menu Enabled” on the
terminal client.
5. Enter“?” to see the rest of the options.
6. To learn screen, enter the following command:
 wEDID a 3
7. Wait for all the debug messages to stop.
8. Once done, the EDID is learned and your sources should be able read the EDID of your
monitor.
*Note: other debugging options such as enabling and disabling hotplug, changing output
mode, and resetting the unit can be accessed through the CLI Menu.

although it is a hex file.)
1) Connect an RS-232 cable or USB to
RS-232 adapter from your computer to

1) Set PC serial port to 19200 baud, 8N1, XON
XOFF (we suggest to start with 19200 baud,
even though higher baud rates are possible,
depending of target MCU clock.) Set the
