Unmanaged networks will not allow dynamic switching only a changing
the multicast adress with the DIP-switches will create a new routing. You
can however create virutal paths with this technique if you do not need
any dynamic changes.
Point to Multi Point configuration/DYNAMIC MATRIX Routing
This setup is the right choice for reconfiguring the connections of RX and TX
units. With a managed switch all transmitters and receivers would have the
same DIP switch setup. The are logically seperated by creating a VLAN for
each TX unit. Any RX that joins this VLAN will connect automatically to the
one TX source there. This method allows the creation of very large
distributed matrices at low system cost.
Typciall managed switches can be controlled by RS-232 commands or via
Telent commands over one port. So you can create your own app or GUI
to control the switch.

3. EDID LEARNING
The HDMI-GIGA-LAN can learn the EDID from the used display and transfer
it to the TX device for the source. This assures that there is a controlled EDID
table that is representing the capabilities of the used display(s).
To learn the EDID in the system, connect TX and RX device directly.
Connect the sink to the RX device and then HOLD the VIDEO button when
powering the RX device until the Power LED starts flashing.
You can now release the VIDEO button the system will reboot and the TX
device will now hold the learned EDID until you reprogramm it.
If you want only SingleEDID (e.g. 1080p) to be present in the TX device we
recommend to use the HDMIFIX as the sink device and learn the SingleEDID
from our EDID emulator
