3.3 Custom Output Timing
The device contains several computer resolutions used by standard display systems today.
However, some applications (LED walls) may require a native format that isn’t enumerated on
device’s output timing list. The user can expand the output timing list with custom specified
timing parameters.
Figure 3-7. Custom Output Timing Editor
Custom Output Timing Editor helps to create a new output timing, modify a created timing or
delete one of created timings. This editor can be achieved by the button on output settings
page (this button will be hidden if the output channel is not capable to set custom output timing
parameters)
The Custom Output Timing feature will expand the output timing list on output settings page, if it
is compliant with the output card capabilities. Several custom timings can be created and they
can be used for several output channels also.
This editor gives total access to the parameters in order to create a custom output timing:
• The Pixel Frequency (unit: MHz) - the number of pixels per second
• The Active Area Width (unit: pixels) - the number of visible pixels per line
• The H Blanking Interval (unit: pixels)
• The H Front Porch (unit: pixels)
• The H Sync Width (unit: pixels)
• The Active Area Height (unit: lines) - the number of visible lines
• The V Blanking Interval (unit: lines)
• The V Front Porch (unit: lines)
• The V Sync Height (unit: lines)
• The Sync polarities (positive or negative)
Create a new custom
timing item
Delete the selected
custom timing item
Modify the selected
custom timing item
Import output timing
parameters from the
dropdown list on left side
DIMAX804KC User’s Manual
DEXON Systems

Simple mathematical relationships link the different values together:
• V Blanking Interval = V sync + V Back Porch + V Front Porch
• H Blanking Interval = H sync + H Back Porch + H Front Porch
• V Total Size = V Blanking Interval + Active Area Height
• H Total Size = H Blanking Interval + Active Area Width
• Line Frequency = Frame Rate x V Total Size
Pixel Frequency = Line Frequency x H Total Size = Frame Rate x V Total Size x H Total Size

4 EXTERNAL PROGRAMMING
There are three different interfaces to control DIMAX device externally: TCP/IP socket interface,
WebSocket interface and RS-232 serial interface. All interfaces use the same XML format
communication protocol.
The software of DIMAX device behaves as a server. The client application’s request messages
are received and processed by the DIVIP server. The requested tasks are performed and reply
messages are sent back to the client by the server.
TCP/IP
The DIMAX device can be controlled through TCP/IP socket interface. The software listens to
the port 6464 and accepts TCP connections of client applications. It receives and processes the
clients’ request messages and performs the requested tasks.
Asynchronous events can be sent by the DIVIP server through the port 6465.
WebSocket
The DIMAX device can be controlled through WebSocket interface. The software listens to the
port 6466 and accepts WebSocket connections of client applications. It receives and processes
the clients’ request messages and performs the requested tasks.
Asynchronous events can be sent by the DIVIP server through the port 6467.
RS-232
The DIMAX device can be controlled through RS-232 interface, too.
The parameters of the serial port initially can be set in the front panel menu or from an external
program through TCP/IP socket interface, e.g.: the control application described in the previous
section.
The default parameters of the RS-232 port:
Baud rate: 9600 bps
Data bits: 8 bits
Parity: no
Stop bits: 1 bit
Flow control: no
The requests and replies have the same format as in case of TCP/IP interface.
Asynchronous events are not sent to the client application through the serial interface.
Note: When the TCP/IP or WebSocket socket is closed the authenticated connection is
terminated, therefore you have to keep the socket interface open while you would like to control
the Device. If the authentication is terminated you will get this error message: Client is not
authenticated! The serial port does not require the authenticated connection.
4.1 Message Format
The request, reply and event messages have common XML based formats. There are different
types of messages in terms of complexity:
Message without any parameter:
<msg_name />, e.g: <query_device_info />
DIMAX804KC User’s Manual
DEXON Systems
21
Message with one parameter:
<msg_name>parameter</msg_name>, e.g. <echo>message</echo>
Message with more parameters:
<msg_name>
<param_name1>param1</param_name1>
<param_name2>param2</param_name2>
</msg_name>
e.g.:
<config_misc>
<date>05/01/2015</date>
<time>10:20:30</time>
</config_misc>
Message with attributes and complex parameters
<msg_name attr1=”a1” attr2=”a2”>>
<param_name1>
<param_name11>param11</param_name11>
<param_name12>param12</param_name12>
</param_name1>
</msg_name1>
e.g.:
<config_input id=”1”>
<name>i1</name>
<port>DVI</port>
<crop>
<left>0</left>
<top>0</top>
<width>100</width>
<height>100</height>

5 SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE UPDATES
This operating software and firmware may be updated for possible improvements and new
features.
Step 1
Create an installation USB memory stick
The update package contains folder called DUA_pollingPi. Copy this folder to the
root folder of the pendrive.
Be sure that the memory stick is not write protected and file system is FAT32. The
software has to remove some installation files (*.sh) during the update process from
the pendrive.
Step 2
Plug the USB stick into the USB port
The software will automatically recognize the installation material within 1-2 minutes.
The upgrade process will be started automatically.
During the upgrade process the device will be restarted two times.
Step 3
The device automatically checks the firmware version. If there is a version
mismatch, then the F/W updating start automatically.
The progress of the update will be displayed on the LCD screen.
Do not interrupt this process. When the update process is finished, the LCD screen
displays the initial login message – hopefully without the firmware warning.

The first steps should be the following:
Log in with username and password into 6464 port (WS: 6466):
<setup version="1">
<username>Administrator</username>
<password> f24850daaaca9ec1e55e43fa50d006e3</password>
</setup>
The reply message will describe the permissions for the user:
<setup standalone="Yes” admin="Yes">
<permissions>
<config_input>Yes</config_input>
<config_output>Yes</config_output>
<custom_output_timing>Yes</custom_output_timing>
<video_control>Yes</video_control>
<audio_control>Yes</audio_control>
<modify_layout>Yes</modify_layout>
<run_layout>Yes</run_layout>
</permissions>
</setup>
Note: When the socket is closed the authenticated connection is terminated, therefore you have
to keep the socket interface open while you would like to control the Device. If the authentication
is terminated you will get this error message: Client is not authenticated!
