match a single TX, then press the “SET/RESET” button on the RX unit(s).
Fiber
OR
Copper
NOTE: The TX-RX link can use fiber

FIGURE 3-2. ONE-TO-ONE CONNECTION
3.2 MULTICASTING
Multicasting enables you to install a matrix of TX and RX units for use as an extender matrix system over an IP network. A multicasting
application requires a Gigabit/1000-Mbps network switch.
For multicast-matrix installation, the Gigabit Managed Switch or Gigabit Smart Switch must support the IGMP V2 querier function and
Jumbo Frame (at least 8K) is required.
For each Transmitter (TX), set a unique video channel number ranging from 01–99 to avoid channel conflict. Each Receiver’s (RX) video
channel must correspond to the Transmitter’s (TX) video channel whose video content will be displayed on RX’s display. Press the “ SET/
RESET ” button of the RX unit to implement extension linking.
A multicasting application diagram is shown on the next page.

5.1 EDID UPDATE BY BUTTONS
The MediaCento IPX 4K features EDID Management. In each video link of a transmitter unit (TX) and a receiver unit (RX), before
outputting the video (and/or audio) data, the source device connecting to the TX reads the EDID first to define the specification of
the video data it should support to output. The EDID can be the factory default, the display connecting to the TX or the sink device
(e.g. display, amplifier,….etc) connecting to RX, and be set up to one of these three types by pressing the “EDID Update” button
based on the application.
By default, the internal HDMI EDID (stored in the transmitter unit) is used. However, the EDID of the receiver’s HDMI output
connected device such as the display, amplifier,…etc, can be obtained and stored in the transmitter. It can support multi-channel
audio and 3D function from the device connecting to the receiver.
5.1.1 “EDID UPDATE” FOR HDMI SINK DEVICE ON TX OR RX SIDE
1. Press the “Select” button to make “EDID” LED blink in order to select the EDID Update function.
2. Press the “SET/RESET” button to set up the EDID Update function.
3. The “EDID” LED lights steady on when the EDID Update is completed.
4. In Extender device mode for TX/RX link, EDID Update will automatically perform when the video connection is established every
time or when the display connecting to Receiver unit is changed.
5.1.2 “EDID UPDATE” TO BE FACTORY DEFAULT
1. Make sure there is no function setting for “EDID”, “USB”, “V. profile” or “Video Channel” to be selected.
2. Press the button for 6 seconds to Reset to Default.
3. Do the above two steps for the transmitter and receiver of the same link.
5.2 AUDIO OVER IP EXTENSION
1. A computer has a Mic-In jack, as part of the sound card. To access this jack from the Receiver/RX unit, connect the microphone
to the Mic-in jack on the Receiver/RX unit.
2. To get the audio from the microphone into the computer, connect a 3.5-mm-to-3.5-mm stereo cable from the Line out jack on the
Transmitter unit to the Line in jack on the computer.
WARNING: DO NOT connect the cable from the Line out jack on the TX unit to the Mic In jack on the computer. Doing it will result in
audio “clipping” and may cause damage to the sound card.
NOTE: HDMI audio will always be passed through to the HDMI out connector on the Receiver unit. However, if a 3.5mm stereo cable
is connected to the Line in jack on the TX unit, the embedded HDMI audio is switched off. This allows the audio signal from Line in
jack (TX unit) to be received on the Line out jack (Receiver/RX unit).

When using a microphone, the audio behavior will differ between the device modes of Extender and Matrix,
Matrix Mode: The Mic- in jack is disabled in matrix mode. However, if an audio source is connected to the Line in jack on a
Transmitter/TX unit, the audio signal will be distributed to all Receiver/RX units that are set to the same video channel. Each
Receiver/RX unit will have a separate pair of power speakers connected to the Line out jack.
Extender Mode: In extender mode, separate microphones can be connected to each Receiver (RX) unit. The audio signal coming
from the microphone will be sent to the Transmitter (TX) unit on the same channel as the Receiver (RX) unit.
5.3 VIDEO PROFILE
The MediaCento IPX 4K provides two video profiles: Video mode and Graphic mode.
1. On the transmitter or receiver unit, press the “Select” button to make the “V. Profile” LED blink in order to select the Video Profile
function.
2. Press the “SET/RESET” button to set the Video Profile to Video/Graphic mode.
3. “V. Profile” LED lights steady ON when the Video Profile is set to Video mode.
4. “V. Profile” LED is not lit when the Video Profile is set to Graphic mode.
By default, the units are set in “Video Mode.” If the High-Definition signal is a video source, it will be displayed in optimal quality.
