Applied CPU2 firmware: v3.5.7b8 | LDC software: v2.5.17b2
Three options can be selected for the resolutions of the TPG:
480p 60Hz,
576p 60Hz
and
Odd p. signal
. Odd p. signal means the resolution of the test
pattern is the same as the closest smaller or equal odd input’s resolution.
(Input 1 for the input 1 and 2, Input 3 for input 3 and 4, and so on…) If there
is no video signal on the odd input, the generator gives a 480p signal.
The pattern can be s
olid green, blue, black, white or black
and
white ramp
and
chessboard
or
color bar
. The
cycle
changes all the listed ones periodically.
The
Audio mode
settings are available in the case of the MX-HDMI-3D-OB-A
and MX-HDMI-3D-OB-S boards. It can be selected here which is embedded
in the forwarded HDMI signal: it can be set to
No audio
(A),
HDMI audio
passth.
(B),
Embed from Ext
(C)
, Deembed to Ext
(D) or
HDMI + deemb
(E).
#power5v
The DVI or HDMI 5V line can be controlled on an output port with the
PWR5V mode
. If it is
On
, the 5V DC is always active. If it is
Off
, the port never
sends the 5 V DC.
ATTENTION!
If the 5V line is off, sink devices do not send HotPlug
signal in most cases and their EDIDs will not be read.
The
Auto
mode means the port gives the 5V, but if the video signal changes
(e.g. resolution), it turns off the 5V for 1 sec and turns it on again.
INFO:
This mode is useful for sink devices that are not able to handle
the changing of the video signal properly.
The
Analog Audio Output
settings are available in the case of the MX-TPS-
OB-A board. The submenu contains the attributes of the analog audio
signal.
If the auxiliary audio port is defined as
input
(embed), the options are:
volume, balance, gain, phase (inversion), DC Filter.
In the case of
output
(deembed), the options are:
volume, balance, bass, treble,
deemphasis, phase (inversion), DC Filter
.

Output Port Settings Submenu (HDMI-OPT-R type)
Supported Boards: MX-HDMI-OPT-OB-R-SC, MX-HDMI-OPT-OB-R-LC, MX-
HDMI-OPT-OB-R-ST, MX-HDMI-OPT-OB-R-NT
Use the
up
▲
and
down
▼
buttons to select the parameter to be changed.
Use the
left
◄
and
right
►
buttons to change the value.
The
Signal mode
can be set to
No change, DVI
or
HDMI
. The
No change
option
does not convert the output signal into DVI or HDMI video. Use the
left
◄
and
right
►
buttons to change the value.
#hdcp
The
Encryption
option sets the HDCP encryption on the output. The
Auto
setting applies encryption when the incoming signal is encrypted. The
Always
setting forces encryption on any incoming video signal. Use the
left
◄
and
right
►
buttons to change the value. For detailed information about
the HDCP modes, see the
section.
The
Test pattern generator
makes it simple to test and troubleshoot video
hook-ups and displays. Use the
left
◄
and
right
►
buttons to change the
value.
On
turns on,
Off
turns off the test pattern generator. If it is off, the
output gives a solid black, 480p video signal. (This is the default value.) In
the case of
No signal mode
the output does not give any signal.
#nosyncscreen #testpattern
Three options can be selected for the resolutions of the TPG:
480p 60Hz,
576p 60Hz
and
Odd p. signal
. Odd p. signal means the resolution of the test
pattern is the same as the closest smaller or equal odd input’s resolution.
(Input 1 for the input 1 and 2, Input 3 for input 3 and 4, and so on…) If there
is no video signal on the odd input, the generator gives a 480p signal.
The pattern can be
solid green, blue, black, white or black and white ramp
and
chessboard
or
color bar
. The
cycle
changes all the listed ones periodically.
The laser on each output port can be enabled or disabled. Disabling
unused laser outputs can lengthen their lifespan. Use the
left
◄
and
right
►
buttons to change the value. The remote serial communication feature
can be enabled or disabled.
For the RS-232 control over fiber function (see details in the
section), enable the
Serial Passthrough
option.
It allows the serial commands to be sent over the fiber cable. It is
recommended to disable this feature if not used.
