Settings
▪
HDCP mode:
#hdcp #new
–
Depends on input: the level and version of HDCP-encryption depends on the source device;
–
Maximum possible: the output ports set the maximum HDCP-encryption level which can accept by
the connected sink device.
–
Forced HDCP 2.2 Type 1: the output ports always force HDCP 2.2 Type 1. If the sink device supports
this HDCP-encryption level, the signal will be encrypted with HDCP 2.2 Type 0/1.
The signal will be
encrypted with HDCP 2.2 Type 1 when the source and the sink either support this HDCP-encryption level.
▪
Power 5V mode
(Auto / Always on / Always off);
#power5v
▪
Timing mode
(Free run / Source locked);
#timingmode #freerun #sourcelocked
ATTENTION!
When the Source locked mode setting was unsuccessful and the port uses Free run mode
as fallback, an
icon appears beside the settings. It may causes that the scaler / FRC setting is not in
Pass-through mode or the resolution of the source stream is not the same that the destination stream's
one.
▪
Port source
: the source multiplexer (
Source MUX
) makes available routing more different source signals
to the HDMI output ports. See more details about this function in the
sections. The available options:
#mux #sourcemux #new
–
From link stream (D1) / From link stream (D2) - the signal source of the output port is the stream
coming from the remote device.
–
From local HDMI input 1 (I1) / From local HDMI input 1 (I2) - the signal source of the output port is
the stream of the local input port of the receiver.
–
Copy of HDMI out 1 (O1) - the device is able to copy the signal of the HDMI out 1 port to the
HDMI out 2. This is the COPY function.

Scaler / Frame Rate Converter Settings
▪
Scaling mode / Output resolution mode
:
#scaler #frc
–
Passthrough: the scaler is in pass-through mode.
–
Forced resolution: the scaling is active, the selected value in the forced resolution option will be
applied on the video signal;
–
EDID based: the scaler forces the resolution which is read out from the EDID of the connected sink
device.
▪
Forced resolution
: list of the available resolutions with refresh rate values. The selected one will be
applied on the video signal. See the available resolution in the
Resolutions of the Scaler / FRC
section.
▪
EDID based resolution: the resolution which is read out from the EDID of the connected sink device.
▪
Image position
(Stretch / Fit / Center);
INFO:
The image position setting (scaler) is available at the HDMI out 1 port only.
▪
Color space conversion
(No conversion / RGB / YCbCr 4:4:4 / YCbCr 4:2:2);
#csc #colorspace
▪
Color range
(No conversion / Full range / Limited range);
#colorrange #new

#testpattern #nosyncscreen
▪
Signal freeze button
: the signal freezes at the last video frame on the sink device (the sink may show a
broken frame either).
#freeze #new
Status / Signal Info
All important information (e.g. hotplug detect, HDCP status, resolution, total size, pixel clock, color space,
e.g.) are available in the status and signal info sections.
Display Info
All related information about the sink device connected to the output port.
Tools
▪
- The tool displays the frame information of the transmitted stream after a possible
rescaling / frame rate conversion.
8.9.3. Device Information
The most important information and settings of the transmitter are available in the Device information section.
Settings
▪
Device label
: the default label is the MAC address of the device but it can be changed to any unique
name.
#label #devicelabel
▪
MAC address;
▪
Operation mode: showing the current operation mode, it can be transmitter, receiver or transceiver.
The operation mode can be changed in the
.
▪
Dark mode
: the dark mode feature can be enabled or disabled. It keeps the LCD screen and the LEDs
unlit to hide the device during the event when the settings is enabled.
#darkmode #new
▪
Identify unit
: Clicking on the button makes the four front panel LEDs blink in green for 10 seconds. The
feature helps to identify the device itself in the rack shelf or on the desk.
#identifyme
▪
Device properties
: Clicking on the button opens the properties windows of the endpoint device. See the
details:
–
For Receiver (RX) operation mode in the
section.
–
For Transceiver (TRX) operation mode in the
section.
▪
Restart unit
: clicking on the button makes rebooting the device (the same as disconnecting from the
power source and reconnecting again).
#reboot #restart
▪
Update firmware
: clicking on the button makes launching the firmware update of the endpoint device by
the MMU. See more details about it in the
Endpoint Upgrade - Centralized Firmware Upgrade
