Sender unit
The back panel of the Sender unit contains three banks of DIP switches. Each bank
contains four DIP switches. These DIP switches control EDID, HPD, HDCP, IR, and
HDBT mode. The default setting, for each DIP switch, is in the “down” (OFF) position.
Each DIP switch (1 - 12) is arranged from left to right. DIP switches 11 and 12 are not
used. Although the DIP switch numbers do not appear on the unit, we have included them
for easy reference.
If a DIP switch is in the “up” position, then it is ON. If a DIP switch is in the “down” position,
then it is OFF.
DIP Feature Description
1 Local / pass-through EDID ► ON
Allows all video and audio features of the
connected device to be passed to the source
device.
► OFF (default)
Copies the downstream EDID locally in HDBT
mode; modies downstream EDID to support
only up to 1080p60 8-bit in Long Reach
mode.
2 HPD Control ► ON
HPD will toggle, depending upon the HPD
status of the display (sink) or source device.
► OFF (default)
HPD remains high, even when the display is
hot-plugged (disconnected then reconnected
to the source device).

Notes on IR Carrier Signals
When an IR carrier frequency is passed through from the Sender unit to the Receiver unit,
or from the Receiver unit to the Sender unit, the carrier signal is not renewed. Any carrier
frequency between 30 kHz and 60 kHz is natively passed through.
If the IR carrier signal is stripped at the Sender unit and added at the Receiver unit (or vice
versa), then the carrier signal can be set to 38 kHz, 47 kHz, or 56 kHz.
To set the carrier signal frequency on the Sender unit, use DIP switches 9 and 10 on the
Sender unit. To set the carrier signal frequency on the Receiver unit, use DIP switches 5
and 6 on the Receiver unit.
Stripping the IR carrier signal is commonly used when directly connecting an IR cable from
the output of one device to the input on another IR device.
