FAST(ER) SWITCHING
Below are some options for decreasing switch time (faster switching):
1. Set the decoders to scale the HDMI output for the monitor resolution. This is the VIDEO.FORMAT value on the config.html page.
If the decoders are set to
VIDEO.FORMAT=SOURCE
then switching time can be longer due to changes in format.
2. All of the sources must have the same resolution and refresh rate. Ensure that the encoders’ input format matches the formats
of the monitors connected to the decoders. Make sure that all encoders are using
VIDEO.HDCP_FORCE_ON,
or that all sources
are the same (HDCP on or off but not a mix).
USB OVER IP (KVM)
When connecting USB devices to encoders and decoders, the function is similar to that of a video matrix. Connecting a computer to
an encoder unit and a Human Interface Device (HID) device to a decoder unit allows you to control the computer from the decoder
unit.
USB over IP enables non-isochronous USB devices to be used remotely. USB over IP is enabled by default.
There are three USB modes available: Auto Select, Active per Request, and Active on Link.
AUTO SELECT MODE
The device chooses between Active per Request or Active on Link mode based on the casting mode (multicast or unicast) chosen.
• Multicast uses Active per Request.
• Unicast uses Active on Link.
ACTIVE PER REQUEST MODE (DEFAULT)
The USB connection initiates once a decoder and encoder are communicating. Multiple decoders can communicate with and have
simultaneous USB control of the same encoder. All decoders automatically activate USB control of the encoder they switch to, and
every decoder watching that encoder has USB control.
ACTIVE ON LINK MODE
Multiple USB devices may be connected to one or more decoder units. However, only one encoder unit can have USB control at a
time. In other words, only one decoder can communicate with the encoder at any given time. By default, the first decoder unit
connected has USB control.
FAST(ER) KVM SWITCHING
USB.KVM_FAST: Default FALSE. When set to TRUE (Checked) allows for rapid transition of KVM control when switching between two
encoders. Not compatible with touchscreen. Both the encoder and decoder need to have the value of setting match (and a reboot) to
take effect.
RS‐232 OVER IP
The encoders and decoders support RS-232 over IP and RS-232 pass-through, allowing the control of remote RS-232 devices. The
encoder and decoder units used to pass through the RS-
232
data must be set to the same baud rate as the RS-
232
host and client. In
unicast mode, an encoder unit is able to communicate with only one decoder unit at a time. In multicast mode, an encoder unit is
able to communicate with multiple decoder units simultaneously.
SIMPLE GUEST MODE
Bi-d
irectional IP/Ethernet to RS-
2
32 (Static Baudrate).
This mode requires an Ethernet (telnet) connection at the sending end and an RS-232 cable at the responding end. Commands are
entered via a TCP or telnet connection to port 6752. Anything entered into the TCP or telnet session at the sending side will be sent
out of the RS-232 port on the responding side.
