SM11 USER MANUAL
Introduction
FEATURES:
• Can help to solve most HDMI, EDID, HDCP, compatibility, and handshaking issues
• Supports full HDMI 2.0 specification 4K UHD video (4K @ 60Hz 4:4:4)
• HDCP 2.2 compliant
• Supports all industry standard video resolutions including VGA-WUXGA and 480i-4K
• Supports all known HDMI audio formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD
Master Audio transmission (HDMI pass through)
• Embed stereo analogue (L/R) audio using 3.5mm stereo jack input in place of source audio onto the HDMI output
signal path
• HDMI audio extracted to both analogue L/R audio and coaxial digital outputs concurrently
• Extract audio with or without a connected display - acts as an end-sink
• Supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) pass through
• Supports 3D signal display
• Advanced EDID management
Our SM11 HDMI Signal Manager has been designed to help solve HDMI
compatibility, HDCP2.2, clock stretching, EDID and handshaking issues that
are becoming common problems when distributing HDMI signals. The SM11
also features de-embedding or embedding audio within the HDMI signal path,
allowing you to breakout up to 7.1 channel audio signals. The SM11 supports
full HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 with video resolutions up to and including 4K @
60Hz 4:4:4.

SM11 USER MANUAL
EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the
source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display, from this information the source will discover
what the best audio and video resolutions need to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure, issues do arise
when multiple displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time needed for
EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of extender EDID settings can be acheived using the product dip-switches on the end panel of the SM11.
Note: You must power cycle the product aer making EDID changes. For some sources it may be necessary to power cycle the
source aer EDID changes have been made for the source to update its video & audio output settings.
The SM11 can be configured to perform various tasks using the MODE dip-switches. For details on each
setting please see below:
Note: You must power cycle the product aer making MODE changes.
Dip-switch 3 - Hotplug detect ON / OFF
When Hotplug detect is turned OFF the SM11 will use the HPD of the connected display on the HDMI output.
When Hotplug detect is turned ON the SM11 will complete the HPD back to the source connected to the HDMI input, no
longer requiring a HPD from a connected display.
Turning on HPD in the SM11 can be beneficial in 2 ways:-
1) Audio de-embedding is required but no display is available. The SM11 will act as the HDMI end-point completing the
necessary HDMI handshake, allowing the HDMI source to output a signal.
2) The SM11 will act as the HDMI end-point completing the necessary HDMI handshake which can help resolve any
handshake issues that may be associated with the display connected to the HDMI output of the SM11.
Position = 0 (up) - HPD (hot plug detect) o
Position = 1 (down) - HPD on
Dip-switch 2 - Audio embedding and de-embedding
The SM11 can be used to de-embed or embed audio to and from the HDMI signal.
Position = 0 (up) - audio de-embedding (audio extracted from the HDMI signal input)
Note - Source input must be PCM 2ch audio for analogue audio outputs to work. The SM11 does not down-mix
multi-channel audio signals
Position = 1 (down) - audio embedding (2CH L/R audio input added to the HDMI video out)
