4K Vertex² – User Manual
Accessing Vertex² Web Server
It is mandatory for accessing Vertex² web server to have an Ethernet cable connected between LAN
CONTROL RJ45 connector and your local router or switcher.
By default Vertex² use DHCP to retrieve an assigned IP automatically. You can set static IP from the
Vertex² webserver config page.
In case you have setup a wrong Static IP and unit is not reachable anymore, you can set DHCP ON from
OLED menu to retrieve access via dynamically assigned IP again (as in default mode).
There is 3 ways of accessing the Vertex² web server:
1. Universal way through IP address:
Simply open up a web browser on any devices located on the same network than the Vertex²
unit and type in the IP address that appears on the Vertex² OLED directly in the address bar of
your web browser. (ex: 192.168.1.137)
2. Hostname access:
Instead of typing IP address directly, you can use the Hostname listed on Vertex² OLED LAN INFO
page (press INFO button to cycle OLED page till you see LAN INFO and Hostname listed).
Simply open up a web browser from any devices located on the same network than the Vertex²
unit and type in the Hostname that appears on the Vertex² OLED directly in the address bar of
your web browser. (ex: http://VERTEX2-XX/)
XX represents the 2 last digits of your Vertex² unit unique serial number.
3. mDNS access:
For iOS/MAC devices, you might want to use mDNS access. Retrieve the mDNS address from
Vertex² OLED LAN INFO page (press INFO button to cycle OLED page till you see LAN INFO and
mDNS address listed). Simply open up a web browser on any MAC/iOS devices located on the
same network than the Vertex² unit and type in the mDNS address that appears on the Vertex²
OLED directly in the address bar of your web browser. (ex: http://VERTEX²-XX.local/)
XX represents the 2 lasts digits of your Vertex² X unit unique serial number.
Please note that only IP address access is universal and should work across any web browser based
devices as long as they are located on the same network. Others methods should work just fine in many
cases but we cannot guarantee that they will always do, in case of issue accessing the webserver, please
use IP address.

[Automix Mode]:
Create EDID based on mutual capabilities from sinks connected at output so it will always show a picture
and audio (ideal for pass thru). Some Flags can be checked or unchecked so you can force and override
some parameters to match your needs. Ex: If your TV is stereo and your AVR full sound and both are
connected to Vertex² outputs port, then depending of the algo in use, for some of them at least, by
default, Automix will report Stereo as sound capabilities, by checking Full Audio flag you will force
Automix to always report Full Audio no matter the real sound capabilities of the connected sink devices.
Enforceable flags available in Automix mode:
AUDIO Flags: 2.0 Stereo, 5.1 Multi, 7.1 Full Sound, TX0, TX1, Audio Out

[CAPTURED HDR METADATA]: If the source at input is sending HDR InfoFrame metadata then the
information is captured, extracted and displayed in this text box. HDR metadata is also deciphered and
displayed in human readable format.
[CUSTOM HDR METADATA GENERATOR]: This section will allow you to create your own custom HDR
metadata and inject it on the current signal by adding it or replacing the existing HDR metadata.
[Use custom HDR for TX0 and TX1]: Unchecked by default, once activated it will turn ON the HDR mode
of any HDR display. Upon clicking Use custom HDR for TX0 and TX1 the CUSTOM HDR IF that is defined
by dropdowns and input fields below and then created [Create IF] and displayed in the text box in HEX
format gets sent. This way you can define what the InfoFrame actually is. This is stored also in Vertex²
and is persistent over hot-plugs and power cycles. If incoming signal is already HDR, the original HDR
metadata that comes with will be ignored [ignore RX HDR].
[Use custom HDR for TX0 and TX1 when input is HDR10]: Unchecked by default, once activated it will
turn ON the HDR mode of any HDR display only if incoming signal is already HDR, the original HDR
metadata that comes with will be ignored [ignore RX HDR].
[Use custom HDR for TX0 and TX1 when input is HLG]: Unchecked by default, once activated it will turn
ON the HDR/HLG mode of any HDR/HLG display only if incoming signal is already HLG, the original HLG
metadata that comes with the input signal will be ignored [ignore RX HLG]. Ex: render HLG content on
HDR display.
[Use custom HDR for TX0 and TX1 when input is HLG and display has no HLG support]: Unchecked by
default, once activated it will turn ON the HDR mode of any HDR/HLG display only if incoming signal is
already HLG and TV have no support for it. Ex: If two TVs are connected and one if HLG and other nonHLG. Then if you turn off the HLG TV the metadata will be automatically changed.
[Disable output HDR for TX0 and TX1 when input is HDR10]: Unchecked by default, once activated
Vertex² will intercept and cancel all incoming HDR10 metadata, HLG metadata will still pass-thru.
[Disable output HDR for TX0 and TX1 when input is HLG]: Unchecked by default, once activated Vertex²
will intercept and cancel all incoming HLG metadata, HDR10 metadata will still pass-thru.
[Disable all output HDR]: Unchecked by default, once activated Vertex² will intercept and cancel all
incoming HDR metadata. [send nothing]
Note: Disable HDR modes was introduced to allow some JVC PJ owners to apply their own Gamma
curves for HDR content and allow their PJ Dynamic Iris to work when content is HDR and/or HLG. They
can be used with others display that allow custom Gamma Curve to be applied on incoming signal or to
boost nits value for some LG TVs or to render HLG content on HDR display, etc..
[EOTF]: Select between SDR Luminance Range, HDR Luminance Range, HLG ITU-R BT.2100-0 or SMPTE

FAQ
What is the difference between Splitter and Matrix option, what are the options for each mode?
The below picture represents the available options for both mode.
Can we pass-through 4K60 4:4:4 or any HDR signal and have one output at lower resolution ?
Yes, when connected correctly to the right downscale output port (TX1), Vertex² will automatically scale
down UHD to FHD if required by the connected SINK (Display, AVR or others). Similarly it can scale up
FHD to UHD if required by the connected SINK to the upscale port (TX0).
My display is supposed to accept 4K60 4:4:4 signals but it does not work?
For most UHD TV set we tried, there are always extra configuration options to active in order to achieve
a 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz link. For ex, on samsung: in order to enable the 444 colorspace for 4k in Samsung
TV’s you must go to "settings" and "hdmi" and "UHD color" and enable it. Then also you must assign the
HDMI port1 as "PC" in the tools menu. Only after these two steps will 600MHz be accepted. Similar
activation tricks are required on most UHD TV’s. Additionally, most UHD TV’s only have specific ports
that are 600MHz capable.
I have a PC mode on my TV (or a PC monitor) what resolutions are supported for graphics mode?
All PC graphics mode within the 600MHz bandwidth are supported, including ultra-high resolution such
as WQSXGA, QUXGA, QFHD, WQUXGA, 4K.
What output resolution does the Vertex² support in HDTV mode?
All known SD, HD, Full HD and UHD formats are supported including: 480i50,480i60, 480p50, 480p60,
576p50, 576p60, 720p50, 720p60, 720p100, 720p120, 1080i25, 1080i30, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p30,
1080p48, 1080p50, 1080p60, 1080p72, 1080p75, 1080p96, 1440p50, 1440p60, 2160p24, 2160p25,
2160p30, 2160p50, 2160p60 (these are examples only, anything within the 600MHz bandwidth is
supported.)

4K Vertex² – User Manual
What version of HDMI does the Vertex² work with? Do I need HDMI 1.3/1.4a/2.0a/2.0b? Does it
matter?
It does not matter. HDfury Vertex² works with any version of HDMI from 1.0 and up.
Do I need to set anything special in my HDMI source device to set the resolution correctly?
No. The HDfury Vertex² will be detected as 2160p60 4:4:4 capable device by your source and it will
always accept and process the highest quality stream from your source devices. There is no need to set
the HDMI source to any specific resolution.
Is there any latency (delay) introduced to the signal?
Virtually none. The latency added is in the order of a few pixel clocks only. Nothing noticeable at all.
What about long HDMI cable runs? Can I expect issues?
For 600MHz users must use "high speed" cables, or 600MHz/18Gbps certified, ideally the length should
be between 6ft and 12ft for proper 600MHz/18Gbps pass-thru. For 4K30, 1080p or less almost all cables
are ok. HDfury Vertex² acts as a HDMI repeater device. So having HDfury Vertex² in the path will amplify
and recover the signal. You should not need any passive (or active) HDMI amplifiers, especially if you put
the HDfury Vertex² in the middle of your cable run. If you previously had to use an amplifier, the HDfury
Vertex² can most likely take its place. The HDfury Vertex² has been used with 50 foot (and longer) HDMI
cables without issues including copper, active or fiber solutions.
How are the new lossless audio formats via HDMI input handled? E.g. DTS-HD/MA and DD/E-AC3: Are
they stripped down to DTS core or Dolby Digital respectively to fit the requirements of the S/PDIF
standard?
Lossless audio is transmitted through HDMI output only. HDfury Vertex² does not compress or otherwise
downconvert the incoming audio. Only stereo and 5.1 sound can be output via SPDIF output. The analog
output supports stereo only.
How do I hook up the audio from the Vertex² ?
The Vertex² has both analog and digital (TOSLINK) audio output in one connector labeled "SPDIF + L/R".
It's a 2-in-1 connector meaning that you can plug in either a 3.5mm stereo analog jack or a digital miniTOLINK (3.5mm mini-jack) cable and get stereo analog sound or 5.1 Dolby/DTS digital sound out of the
Vertex². See further below for pictures of both types of connectors/cables.
