  • Page 8: Overview

    Overview DIP-31M is an automatic switcher for 4K HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, data and unbalanced audio signals. The unit supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) and various modes of input selection and transmits the signal via HDMI cable to a compatible receiver (for example, VS−62H or when connecting directly to a display/projector).

  • Page 72 You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g., Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the DIP-31M. To enter CR press the Enter key (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).
  • Page 73 Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored. Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered. A separate response is sent for every command in the chain. DIP-31M - Protocol 3000...
