4.1. Boot up of UMX-OPT-TX150R

WARNING! When building an electronic system, make sure that all of the devices are powered down before connecting them. Powered on devices may have dangerous voltage levels that can damage sensitive electronic circuits.

After all the other connections in the system are complete, connect the output of the 5V Power Adaptor to the UMX-OPT-TX150R.

The special locking DC plug provides safe connection. Plug the connector into the 5V 1A DC IN receptacle and twist 90° clockwise to lock it. Plug the adaptor into the electric outlet. The unit is immediately powered ON.

4.1.1. Firmware Indication

After being powered on, the UMX-OPT-TX150R lights up all LEDs from top to bottom, then displays its firmware version using the three upper LEDs of the front panel VIDEO LED bar. The top LED (DVI-D) means the first number of the firmware version, actually this is the main version. From the top the second (DVI-A) and the third (VGA) LEDs mean the second and the third number of the firmware version, actually these are the subversions.

Example of the firmware version of 1.0.1.

The following Example shows this process for a firmware version of 1.0.1.

The top LED (DVI-D) blinks once → Short pause → The second LED (DVI-A) does not blink, this means the number 0 → Short pause → The third LED (VGA) blinks once → Short pause → The normal function of the LED is in effect.

After indicating the firmware version, UMX-OPT-TX150R checks the video output: reads the EDID if there is a Hot Plug signal and authenticates devices in case of HDCP encryption. This procedure takes approximately 5 seconds.

UMX-OPT-TX150R stores the video and audio crosspoint state in a non-volatile memory and after booting it starts with it.

After the UMX-OPT-TX150R is initialized, the attached source(s), receiver pair and monitor(s) can be powered on.

INFO: If none of the LEDs light up upon power-up, the unit is most likely damaged and further use is not advised. Please contact [e-mail].

4.7. EDID Management

About EDID Memory

EDID memory is non-volatile and consists of four blocks, each for different purpose. These blocks are:

• Factory preset EDIDs
- User saved EDIDs
- Dynamic EDID (EDID of last connected sink on the DDC output port)
- Emulated EDIDs (EDID currently emulated on a specific input port)

This manual refers to the EDIDs in two ways. Using, selecting EDIDs with Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software or with Rotary switches.

4.7.1. EDID Memory Structure

EDIDs Are Referred with Lightware Device Controller

In the first case EDID is mentioned with the Lightware Device Controller software or the protocol commands.

Factory Preset EDIDs (F01 .. F20):

F01..F05.....DVI-D Factory Preset EDIDs

F06..F10 DVI-A Factory Preset EDIDs

F11..F15...... VGA Factory Preset EDIDs

F16..F20......HDMI Factory Preset EDIDs

INFO: The factory EDIDs (Fxx) are factory preprogrammed and cannot be modified. These are the most commonly used resolutions.

User programmable memories (U01 .. U16):

U01..U04....User programmable DVI-D memories

U05..U08....User programmable DVI-A memories

U09..U12User programmable VGA memories

U13..U16....User programmable HDMI memories

Last attached monitor's EDID: (D01):

D01 Last attached monitor's EDID on the output

INFO: The attached monitor's EDID is the Lightware Universal EDID by factory default.

Emulated EDIDs (E01 .. E04):

E01.....Emulated EDIDs on the DVI-D input

E02.....Emulated EDIDs on the DVI-A input

E03 ...... Emulated EDIDs on the VGA input

E04 ...... Emulated EDIDs on the HDMI input

INFO: UMX-OPT-TX150R can handle both 128 Byte EDID and 256 Byte extended EDID structures.

EDIDs Are Referred with Rotary Switches

In the second case EDID is mentioned with the rear panel rotary switches. EDIDs are numbered from 0 on each rotary, and they can be referred with hash symbol, and the number of the desired EDID. This way #6 on the DVD-D rotary refers to the first user preset EDID (U01), and #0 refers to the display device's EDID (called Dynamic or Last attached monitor's EDID) on the output (on the DDC output).

ATTENTION! Emulated EDIDs can be switched with the rotary

switches only.

The Assigning Table

To help understand the EDID memory structure. See the table of Factory EDID List. It shows all the EDIDs, their short descriptions and their references.

All EDIDs (including factory presets; user programmable memories and EDID at SC MM output) can be switched and emulated at any of the inputs.

Example State of the Rotary Switches

The rotary switches select the EDIDs highlighted gray in the tables below.

The rotary switches have the following state:

DVI-D Rotary is in #2 state, it means Factory EDID (DVI)

Switching the EDID with a Rotary Switch

Use a screwdriver to change the memory address on the rear side of the UMX-OPT-TX150R. After either one of the rotary switches has been rotated, the unit waits approximately 2 seconds before the selected EDID becomes active.

INFO: After every EDID change, UMX-OPT-TX150R toggles the HOT PLUG signal for approx. 1 second. Some graphic cards or DVD players do not sense the HOT PLUG signal, and even if EDID has been changed, the set resolution is not affected. In this case the source device must be restarted, or powered OFF and ON again.

ATTENTION! Switching EDID for any inputs is available only with rotary switches. (Switching with Lightware Device Controller Software or protocol command is not available.)

4.7.2. Deleting the EDID

Deleting EDID is available only with Lightware Device Controller Software. Only user EDIDs can be deleted. Deleting means the factory EDID (Universal HDMI or Analog EDID) will be loaded into the desired user EDID memory.

4.7.3. EDID Types

Most of the factory preset EDIDs include only one resolution. This is to force the connected source to give a signal with the needed resolution. However there are Universal EDIDs as well which allow many resolutions.

The factory EDIDs are divided into groups regarding their type. Some EDIDs are supporting DVI only, some support HDMI, and some are for analog VGA signals.

• Analog EDIDs can be used for VGA (RGBHV) input port.
• DVI EDIDs does not support embedded audio.
- HDMI EDIDs support embedded audio. These EDIDs - include Universal HDMI EDID - indicate that any audio Format is accepted (PCM, Dolby, DTS, etc.).

INFO: Analog and HDMI user EDIDs are the Universal Analog and HDMI EDIDs in factory defaults.

Factory Preset EDID List

Lightware factory pre-loaded EDIDs are specially provided to force graphic cards to output only the exact pixel resolution and refresh rate. HDMI and VGA universal EDIDs (#1 on both rotary switches) allow multiple resolutions including all common VESA defined resolutions. In addition, HDMI universal EDID also features audio support. The use of universal EDID is recommended for fast and easy system setup.

INFO: The F01..F20 EDIDs are factory preprogrammed and cannot be modified. These are the most commonly used resolutions.

4.7.4. EDID Learning

Learning the EDID function enables to store the EDID of the display which connected to the receiver in UMX-OPT-TX150R's memory.

The factory preset EDIDs cannot be changed by the user. Only addresses #6 .. #9 (on any rotary switches) are user programmable.

ATTENTION! EDID learning is only available from the active input to a user memory location which was selected by a rotary switch. EDID learning is not allowed in AUTOSELECT mode.

INFO: Before a digital EDID will be selected to an analog output port UMX-OPT-TX150R removes the digital descriptor from the EDID and selects it.

Step 1. Connect the sink device to the unit's output (for Example the receiver unit's HDMI OUT)

Step 2. Use a screwdriver to select an empty memory address. (for Example on a HDMI rotary set the #6)

Step 3. Push the Learn button on the front side of the device and hold it down for approximately 3 seconds.

Step 4. If the EDID storing was successful on the active port, the EDID LED blinks 3 times in 3 seconds slowly then they return to their original function. EDIDs are stored in a multiple programmable non-volatile memory.

If the storing was unsuccessful on the active port, the EDID LED blinks 3 times in 1 second quickly then they return to their original function.

INFO: The last attached monitor's EDIDs are stored automatically, until a new monitor is attached to the output (or receiver's output). In case of powering the unit off, the last attached monitor's EDID remains in non-volatile memory.

4.7.5. EDID Switching

Use a screwdriver to change the memory address on the rear side of the UMX-OPT-TX150R.

After any of the rotary switches has been rotated, the unit waits approximately 2 seconds before the selected EDID becomes active.

The address #0 (on any rotary switches) has a special function. If a receiver is connected to the output, then its EDID is copied to the input connector. If no receiver is connected to the output then the EDID transmitted to the input connector is the EDID of the last connected monitor.

INFO: After every EDID change, UMX-OPT-TX150R toggles the HOT PLUG signal for approx. 1 second. Some graphic cards or DVD players do not sense the HOT PLUG signal, and even if EDID has been changed, the set resolution is not affected. In this case the source device must be restarted, or powered OFF and ON again.

ATTENTION! Switching EDID for any inputs is available only with rotary switches. (Switching with protocol command is not available, for more details about switching with Lightware Device Controller Software see Changing Emulated EDID section).

The UMX-OPT-TX150R can work as a HDCP compliant device, or act as a non-HDCP compliant sink. The HDCP capability can be disabled or enabled on the digital video input ports (DVI-D, HDMI). This function helps to apply encryption only when it is mandatory.

Some video sources send encrypted signal when they are connected to a HDCP capable device even if the content is not protected. This way even the unprotected content cannot be displayed on non-HDCP displays if the signal travels through a HDCP compliant matrix or repeater.

However HDCP encryption is not required all the time (e.g. computer desktop image) some video cards still encrypt if they detect that the sink is HDCP capable.

Avoiding Unnecessary HDCP Encryption

If HDCP is disabled on any digital video input port, the connected source will detect that the sink is not HDCP capable, and turn off authentication. The source will not be able to communicate with any of the devices (displays, repeaters, etc.) that are connected to the receiver's output, therefore it could not see if they are HDCP capable or not.

This forces the source to send unprotected signal only. If HDCP capability is disabled on an input port, the connected source cannot send protected content to any display. If HDCP function is enabled on an input port and the source sends encrypted signal, the non-HDCP compliant devices cannot display the video.

INFO: In HDCP disable mode, protected content (i.e. Blu-ray disc) will not be displayed, thus maintaining the rules set by the HDCP standard.

To toggle the HDCP function on the desired input port, use Lightware Device Controller software (HDCP Enable) or turn the desired digital input's rotary switch to address #1, and press and hold the Learn button for approximately 5 seconds.

= HDCP enable / disable on DVI-D input

+ = HDCP enable / disable on HDMI input

The status change appears on the front panel's LED tower. When the status changed the EDID LED blinks three times quickly.

HDCP Key Counter

HDCP key counter is a tool that counts and validates the number of keys that can be accepted by a source device when connected to an HDCP repeater.

HDCP key counting is available with protocol command. For more information, see Count HDCP Keys section.

4.9. Reload Factory Defaults

Factory default settings can be reloaded with the procedure below:

Turn all of the rotary switches to address #0, and press and hold the Learn button for approximately 10 seconds.

After restoring default values press the Reset button to reboot the device. This operation affects the crosspoint table and configuration, I/O settings and stored User and Dynamic EDIDs and the RS-232 mode

This process can be induced by protocol command as well. For more information see Reload Factory Defaults section.

WARNING! User and Dynamic EDIDs will be cleared (refilled with Lightware Universal EDID) after reloading the factory defaults.

WARNING! Reloading factory defaults by rotary switches plus learn button AFFECTS the serial operation mode and the RS-232 baud rate options as well. The default operation mode is the PASS mode and the default baud rate is 57600 baud in the UMX-OPT-TX150R. If the previous serial settings differ from the default ones, please set up the necessary values after reboot with protocol commands. (See details about the protocol commands in Set the RS-232 Operation Mode section and the Change RS-232 Baud Rate section).

1. Operation of UMX-OPT-TX150R UMX-OPT-TX150R - User's Manual 24

WARNING! The values (enable / disable) of the HDCP input mode and the NoSyncScreen functions (in the highlighted rows) can be set for every input port separately during the normal operation. The service mode set the value FOR ALL THE INPUT PORTS. The value feedback LED shows enable value if the NoSyncScreen or the HDCP is enabled on ANY input port.

INFO: The audio priority modes use the following abbreviations: E Embedded, S - S/PDIF, A1 - Analog 1, A2 - Analog 2 audio input port. For the detailed explanation of the Autoselect mode see Audio Autoselect Mode chapter.

Navigation in the Service Menu

The VIDEO SELECT button is the function select button and the AUDIO SELECT button is the value select button in case of the UMX-OPT-TX150R. After the entering the 1st menu item and the last saved value will be selected.

INFO: The functions and the settings in the service menu can be modified by Lightware Device Controller software or protocol commands, as well. The last saved values mean the last saving by any way, instead of the last saving by the service menu.

After every pressing of the function select button the next function will be selected. (The value feedback LED shows the corresponding last saved value.) The first menu item will be selected after the last one. After every pressing of the value select button the next value will be selected. The first value will be selected after the last one.

4.10.3. Saving in the Service Menu

The saving time is three seconds in case of the UMX-OPT-TX150R. In the service menu the device saves every value changing after three seconds automatically. If the device exits from service menu (because of a hardware reset) before 3 seconds after a value changing the last modification will be lost.

4.10.4. Exit from Service Menu

During the service menu the device is suspends its normal operation. The signal transmission and the communication (USB, RS-232 control and RS-232 pass-through) are out of work in this case. The only way to restore the normal operation is a hardware reset. It can be performed by pushing and releasing the Reset button on the rear side of the device or just plugging out then plugging in the power supply. The saved settings are stored in an external storage and the device keeps that after reboot.

4.11. Remote Operation

UMX-OPT-TX150R can be controlled through various interfaces remotely. This makes it possible to use functions that are not accessible via the front panel. Also, this helps system integrators and operators to control multiple devices in a big system through a single user interface.

4.11.1. Control Interfaces

Users can connect to the transmitter through

- USB

- Serial port (RS-232)

After establishing connection, there is no difference between connection types (except some rare cases, which are uniquely noted). The available remote connections and the relating chapters are listed below.

User Interface	Connection type		Further Information
	USB port	RS-232 serial port
Lightware Device Controller software	√	√	Software Control – Lightware Device Controller
Third-party control system	-	√	LW2 Protocol Description

4.11.2. Multiple Simultaneous Connections

The transmitter allows simultaneous remote control over multiple interfaces. USB and Serial connections can be used at the same time.

4.11.3. RS-232 Operation Modes

Serial Port Settings

UMX-OPT-TX150R uses RS-232 communication port. The device uses standard RS-232 interface with the following default settings:

57600 Baud, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity

The serial port baud rate can be changed with the Baud Rate rotary (addresses #1 .. #4) on the rear panel (UMX-OPT-TX150R - Rear View) or remotely by protocol command in case of #0 Baud Rate rotary state (in Change RS-232 Baud Rate section).

There are two kinds of operations for the unit regarding the serial port: you can control the unit via USB and serial port or use the bidirectional

serial link through the fiber optical cable with a compatible fiber optical receiver.

Control Mode

In the first case the CPU in the transmitter can receive commands and send responses either to and from the own serial port or to and from the serial port on the receiver unit through the fiber optical cable.

Pass-Through Mode

In case of the second mode the serial connectors on the transmitter and on the receiver are linked together through the fiber optical cable

Changing the Working Mode

Step 1. Tum the Baud Rate rotary switch to address #8
Step 2. Press and hold the Learn button for approximately 3 seconds. (The addresses of EDID Memory rotary switches can be anything.)
Step 3. The current status can be seen on the rear panel LED tower. If the working mode is Pass-through the RS-232 LED is off. If the working mode is Control the RS-232 LED lights continuously.

Toggle between pass and control mode

Changing the working mode can be done by protocol command (see details Set the RS-232 Operation Mode section).

INFO: UMX-OPT-TX150R stores the RS-232 working mode and starts the saved one after reboot.

ATTENTION! The RS-232 settings – baud rate is included – are valid for the Control and the Pass-through mode, as well. For Example if the baud rate was changed from 57600 to 9600 in Control mode the device sends commands only with 9600 baud rate in Pass-through mode, as well.

Speed of the Serial Communication

Baud rate can be set in two ways:

• Baud rate rotary is turned #0. In this case, the baud rate can be modified by protocol command. For details see Change RS-232 Baud Rate section.
• Baud rate can be also set on the rear panel by the baud rate rotary. The rotary should turn #1- #4 and it applies pre-defined baud rates. In this case, protocol commands have no effect on the speed of the serial communication.

1. Operation of UMX-OPT-TX150R UMX-OPT-TX150R - User's Manual 25

UMX-OPT-TX150R uses some of the standard timings for the RS-232 control and pass-through mode. To work the bidirectional serial communication well between serial ending devices users must choose the proper baud rate on the transmitter units. Please read the serial devices' user's manual to find the appropriate baud rates. The best one is both devices' most common value.

If the communication speed ability of a serial device is unknown use the lowest (#1: 9600) value.

Available BAUD RATE rotary values:

Rotary switch position BAUD rate
#0 Software set (57600 default)
#1 9600
#2 19200
#3 38400
#4 57600
#5 Not used
#6 Not used
#7 Not used
#8 RS232=Pass / Control
#9 KVM (under development)

INFO: When all the front panel LEDs are blinking, they refers to the undefined baud rate settings (baud rotary switch is set from #5 to #9)

Screen position is an easy way to fit the visible area of the analog video signal and the sink device. Actually the horizontal and vertical positions (Horizontal position and Vertical position) can be set with two different methods:

• Click on the arrows to increase or decrease the H.Pos and V.Pos values, or
• Move the mouse over the visible (grey) area. Click and hold with the left mouse button. Drag the visible area to the desired position.

Analog Video Timings

Vertical total: Total line number of the whole image. (The visible and the blanking area)

Horizontal total: Total pixel number of the whole image. (The visible and the blanking area)

Horizontal active: Pixel number of the visible image.

Vertical active: Line number of the visible image.

Horizontal Vertical position: Horizontal and vertical position values specify the location of the visible area on the sink device. Black border on any side of the picture can means wrong settings for the position of the visible area.

Phase: In case of unclear picture changing pixel phase can solve the problem. Changing the source device or the cable can cause pixel phase shifting.

Presets

User's settings for analog video

timings can be set into the

UMX-OPT-TX150R as presets.

One preset contains the following values which can be set by the user: Horizontal active, Vertical active, Horizontal position, Vertical position and Phase.

Presets can be assigned for each different resolution to the actual or to all inputs.

Save to this input: Preset assigned for the current resolution will be set to the actual input.

Save to all inputs: Preset assigned for the current resolution will be set to all inputs.

Undo changes: Backup the last saved preset values. If there were no saved values it sets up the original settings.

Reload factory settings for this signal: Clear the saved preset for this resolution from all the inputs, and sets up the original settings.

Analog Gain / Offset

Analog gain / offset window allows users to correct the gain and the offset values if the automatic mode doesn't give a good result. Gain and offset settings method are the same:

5.6.1. EDID Operations

After the list is downloaded, the current status is shown. The EDID memory consists of four parts.

The Emulated EDID List shows the currently emulated EDIDs for each input. It contains the input description, manufacturer, resolution, monitor name, source name for each input separately. The source column displays the memory location that the current EDID was routed from.

The Dynamic EDID List contains the resolution, manufacturer and vendor name of the display devices connected to device's output. The device remembers the last display device's EDID, so there is an EDID shown even if there is no device attached to the transmitter's output at the moment.

The Factory EDID List shows the factory memory locations (01# - 20#) with preprogrammed EDID.

The User EDID List shows the memory locations (51# - 66#) which can be used by the user to save custom EDIDs.

Any source reads the EDID from the Emulated EDID memory for the corresponding port. The user can select an EDID with the rotary switches to the desired input's memory location. This is called EDID switching. There are two types of the emulation: static and dynamic.

• Static EDID emulation happens, when an EDID from the Factory or User EDID list is selected by the Rotary switches (#1...#). In this case the Emulated EDID will remain the same until the user emulates another EDID.
• Dynamic EDID emulation can be enabled by selecting #0 on the EDID Rotary switch. The attached monitor's EDID is copied to the INPUT, if a new monitor is attached to the output, the emulated EDID changes automatically.

Changing Emulated EDID

To change the emulated EDID use the EDID Rotary switches on the rear panel of the device. For more information see EDIDs Are Referred with Rotary Switches chapter.

INFO: If dynamic emulation is established, the emulated EDID will be changed on the input every time a new monitor is connected to the output. If the monitor is disconnected from the output, the last EDID remains emulated for the source. This feature helps especially rental technicians or system integrators to keep the source continuously transmitting the signal, and adopt the system for new incoming display devices.
INFO: Power ON/OFF cycle will not affect the emulated EDID or other settings.
INFO: EDID routing procedure causes a status change, hence it is reported back to the control software within 2-3 seconds.

Learning an EDID

The system is able to learn the EDID from a connected display device and store it in one of the user programmable memory locations.

Step 1. Select the Dynamic EDID list from the Source panel (line will be highlighted with yellow).

Step 2. Select the User EDID list from the Destination panel (line will be highlighted with yellow).

Step 3. Press ➤ button to save the EDID into the selected User memory.
