Port name
The name of a port can be changed by typing the new name and
clicking the Set button. The following characters are allowed when
naming: Letters (A-Z) and (a-z), hyphen (-), underscore (_), numbers
(0-9), and dot (.). Max length: 63 characters.
Mute
The incoming signal can be muted/unmuted by pressing the button.
If the port is muted, button text is Unmute. In this case, no signal is
transmitted to the output port.
Lock
The output port can be locked to the currently connected input port by
the button. If the port is locked, button text is Unlock. In this case the
mute state and the crosspoint state of the port cannot be changed.
Last attached display EDID
The name of the last attached monitor's EDID is displayed (shown as
Monitor Name in the EDID menu).

HDCP
▪ Depends on input: the encryption level depends on the settings
of the input port and the source content/device. If the incoming
signal is not encrypted, then the outgoing signal will not be
encrypted either.
▪ Maximum possible: the highest supported level of encryption
(between the matrix and the sink) is applied (up to HDCP v2.2).
Signal type
The outgoing signal format can be selected by a drop-down list:
Auto, HDMI, DVI.
5V enable
▪ On: +5V power is always sent thus the sink and the port are
always connected.
▪ Off: +5V power is not sent towards the sink, thus the sink does
not sense the connection.
Conversion mode
▪ Passthrough: no signal conversion.
4:4:4 to 4:2:0 *: the signal is converted to the indicated color depth.
▪
4:4:4 to 4:2:2: the signal is converted to the indicated color depth.
▪
▪ LEFT part/RIGHT part * : The device supports vertical splitting of
an HDMI 2.0 4k@60Hz 4:4:4 input signal to left and right halves
allowing for the transmission of a 18Gbps HDMI2.0 signal
over two HDMI1.4 compliant links. The two halves can then be
recombined at the signal destination. To apply the feature route
the same input signal to 2 output ports. Set the conversion to
Left on one output port and Right on the other output port. See
the application diagram in the Typical Applications
* The availability of this setting depends on the hardware version of
the output board (V1x_). The hardware version can be found in
Tab in the LDC or in the System Settings Menu, Device Info
in the LCD.
Scrambling
HDMI 2.0 standard introduced scrambling to the TMDS encoding
which helps to decrease the energy peaks and hence the Electro
Magnetic Interference (EMI). To maintain backwards compatibility,
HDMI 2.0 only requires the use of scrambling with data rates of above
3.4 Gbps per lane. The feature can be set on the output ports to On /
Off, or Auto (recommended).
TMDS clock rate
Setting the value to 1:10, 1:40, or Auto (recommended).
Factory defaults
Resetting the default values:
▪ HDCP = depends on input; Signal type = auto; Conversion mode =
passthrough; Scrambling = auto; TMDS clock rate = auto.
