• WebGUI Overview After connecting to the WebGUI’s address in a web browser, the login screen will appear. Please enter the appropriate user name and password then click “Submit” to log in. Note: The default user name and password is “admin”. On the left side of the browser you will see the following menu tabs where all primary functions of the unit are controllable via the built in WebGUI.
6.5.1 Upper Tab Windows This upper section of the web interface is visible on every tab and provides control over the unit’s operational mode, source selection, and output resolution as well as containing basic information about the currently connected source and display devices. 1) Source: This section displays the currently detected resolution for the sources connected to each input.
6.5.2 Window Layout Tab This tab provides control over the position, size, aspect, priority, and other settings of each window in multi-viewer modes. A graphical representation of the layout is also provided. When the unit is in Matrix mode, only a limited selection of controls are available.
Page 34
5) Priority: Select the layer priority of the currently selected window. Priority 1 is at the front and priority 4 is at the back. Note: Not available in Matrix mode. 6) Aspect Ratio: Use the dropdown to select a fixed aspect ratio for the currently selected window or input.
6.5.3 Picture Tab This tab provides controls over each input’s contrast, brightness, saturation, hue, and sharpness levels. Note: All picture settings are per-input and are mode-independent. 1) Input Select: Use the dropdown to select the input to modify. 2) Reset: Reset the current input to its default settings. 3) Contrast: This slider provides control over the overall contrast of the currently selected source video.
6.5.4 Audio Tab This tab provides control over the audio output behavior of the unit, including routing selection and muting. Note: Due to Matrix mode only supporting a single “window”, changing modes between a multi-windowing mode and Matrix mode when an audio source is set to windows 2~4 will result in the source reverting to window 1.
6.5.5 Input EDID Tab This unit provides the option of three standard EDIDs, two sink sourced EDIDs and four user uploaded EDIDs that can be assigned to all inputs at the same time, or to each input independently. Note: In most cases, assigning a new EDID to an input will cause the affected input to briefly blink out while the source adapts to the new information.
6.5.6 HDCP Mode Tab This tab provides control over the HDCP settings for all inputs. 1) HDCP Mode Input 1~4: Use the dropdown to select the HDCP behavior for each input. HDCP Support Off: Completely disables support for HDCP on that input.
6.5.7 OSD Settings Tab This tab provides control over the behavior of the OSD menu and informational display. 1) Menu Position: Use the dropdown to set the position of the OSD menu on the output. Available choices are: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right, and Bottom Left.
6.5.8 Logo Settings Tab This tab provides control over the user uploaded logo graphic. Controls include positioning, an uploading a new logo directly from the WebGUI and an option to reset the logo to a built in default image that can be used for testing.
6.5.9 Ethernet Tab This tab provides controls to change the network settings for the unit. You can manually set the IP address, netmask and gateway address in “Static IP” mode, or you can obtain an IP address automatically by enabling DHCP. Note: The unit’s default Static IP address is 192.168.1.50.
6.5.10 Setup Tab Provides a way to update firmware and reset various sections within the unit. Control over the unit’s Auto Sync Off feature, storing/recalling presets as well as configuring the WebGUI login settings is also provided here. 1) Preset Save: Select a preset from the dropdown list and then click the “Save”...
Username/Password: To change the login username and password, enter the new information in the spaces provided and press “Save”. Note: The default user name and password is “admin”. Timeout: Set the length of time to wait, in minutes, before logging out a user due to inactivity.
