MODEX-F15-OPTS, MODEX-F15-OPTM series – User's Manual

Command Injection - Signal Path
Signal transmission between local IR input/IR output ports and local
IP port
Loopback - Signal Path
Signal transmission between local IR input and local IR output ports
Extended Data - Signal Path
Signal transmission between local and remote devices
INFO: The working method is similar when more IR input and
output ports are assembled in the MODEX, e.g. 2 pieces of MODEX-
IF-RS232-IR interface modules (with 2 pcs. IR input and 2 pcs. IR
output). But in that case the number of the signal path is multiplied.

Further Built-in Features
3.14.1.
Automatically Launched Actions - The Event Manager
The Event Manager feature allows the device to
sense changes on its ports and to react
according to the pre-defined settings. Lightware
Device Controller contains a user-friendly
software tool and allows to create Events by
defining a Condition and an Action.

Advanced EDID Management
Factory Preset EDIDs
The factory EDIDs are factory preprogrammed and cannot be
modified. These describe the most common video formats. They are
specially provided to force graphic cards to output only the exact pixel
resolution and refresh rate.
Universal EDID allows multiple resolutions including all common
VESA defined resolutions. The use of universal EDID is recommended
for fast and easy system setup.
Sources and Destinations
The EDID memory consists of four parts:
▪
Factory EDID
list shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F136).
▪
Dynamic EDID
list shows the display device connected to the
outputs of the device. The unit stores EDID of the last device
connected to an output, so there is an EDID shown even if there
is no display device attached to the output port at the moment.
▪
User memory
locations (U1 – U31) can be used to save custom
EDIDs.

Emulated EDID
list shows the currently emulated EDID for the
inputs. The source column displays the memory location that
the current EDID was routed from.
The source reads the EDID from the Emulated EDID memory on the
INPUT port. Any EDID from any of the User/Factory/Dynamic EDID
lists can be copied to the user memory.
There are two types of emulation:
static
and
dynamic
.
▪
Static EDID emulation
: an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list
is selected. Thus, the Emulated EDID remains the same until the
user emulates another EDID.
▪
Dynamic EDID emulation
: it can be enabled by selecting D1 or D2
EDID memory. The attached monitor’s EDID is copied to the
input; if a new monitor is attached to the output, the emulated
EDID changes automatically.

3.14.3.
Extender Cloning
The transmitter and receiver (configuration) cloning of MODEX
devices is a simple method that eliminates the need to repeatedly
configure certain devices to have identical (non-factory) settings.
If more devices are installed in the same type of system then it is
enough to set up only one device to fit the user’s needs and then copy
those settings to the others, thus saving time and resources.
