1. EMX-HD-AUD Windows™ Software Installation

1.1. General

The EMX-HD-AUD is controllable via a free Windows® based.

All of the device features, and more, are accessible from the GUI. EDID files can be
exported or imported. The device is also capable of writing custom EDID data back
to compatible display devices.

1.2. Software Installation Prerequisites

• A PC with Windows XP® OS or later

• USB port

• Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 or later (most recent OS including

Windows 7 and 8 typically include this and no action is required). If.NET
Framework 2.0 or later is not installed on your PC, the Microsoft™ website
has free downloads available.

1.3. Software Installation

If an earlier version of this particular software was previously installed,
UNINSTALL the program first from either the Add/Remove Programs section of
the control panel or by running the previous installation’s SETUP.EXE and
selecting “remove application”.

• Install the software by executing the SETUP.EXE program from the

installation source directory

• Accept the default settings, but if you want to specify a particular

installation directory other than the default, you may do so.

2. Using the Software

2.1. General

In most installations the use of the
software is not needed as most
functions can be performed using
the push-buttons on the product as
described in the previous section.

You can use the software to
import/export EDID files from the
device. Custom EDID data can also be written to devices connected to the
output if they support that function. You can also mute the extracted audio, or
remove the audio from the HDMI output.

It is possible to connect more than one EMX-HD-AUD to the PC (using several
USB ports of the PC). The same instance of the software detects all connected
devices and allows control from the same interface.

2.2. USB Device Detection

The EMX-HD-AUD software uses standard Windows® drivers to automatically
configure the USB port after connection and does not require any special USB
drivers to be installed.
The first time you connect the extender to the PC, you may experience a short
delay and a windows notification pop-up message may be shown.

2.2.1. The software scans the EMX-HD-AUD

settings continuously in real time, so all
changes are immediately reflected on the
screen

2.2.2. If no EMX-HD-AUD device is attached to

the system, the on-screen fields are
disabled (grayed out)

reconnected devices are detected with no delay or message.

2.2.3. Only one instance of the GUI program can run at

a time. Executing the application more than once
will result in an error message.
