3.4 Connection of Microphone
TL-5X1-HDV provides one 3-level microphone input to accommodate different microphone
input modes, including 48V phantom power mode, MIC mode & LINE mode.
Ø 48V phantom power input
When switch to “48V” (It has a LF cut, high input impedance and high sensitivity in this
mode), the MIC input will offer a 48V phantom power. This is only used for a condenser
microphone.
Connect the microphone this way: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and
“ ” to ground.
Ø MIC input
When switch to “MIC” (It has wide frequency response in this mode), the microphone input is
used for connecting with dynamic microphone. There are two different connections:
1) Unbalanced connection:
“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal. (inverted phase)
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.
2) Balanced connection:
“+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ” connects to ground.

When switch to “LINE” (It has a wide frequency response in this mode), the microphone
input is used for connecting with line audio or wireless microphone output. There are
two different connections:
1) Unbalanced connection:
“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal. (inverted phase)
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.
b) Balanced connection:
“+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ” connects to ground.

3.5 Application
TL-5X1-HDV has appropriate applications in various occasions, such as conference
rooms, training rooms, command & control centers and corporate board rooms.

4. System Operations
4.1 Operations of Buttons
The buttons can be used for output resolution adjusting, switching operations, software
updating, volume adjusting and operations in menus.
4.1.1 Resolution Adjusting
Supports auto-adjusting and manual-adjusting. Press and hold on RESO/AUTO button for 7
seconds or more to enter in auto-adjusting/manual-adjusting mode.
Notice:
1. In auto-adjusting mode, TL-5X1-HDV will choose the resolution of the display device as the
preferred resolution.
2. In auto-switching mode, front panel button control is not available, but IR and RS232
control is able to switch modes.
4.1.2 Switching Operations
Supports auto-switching and manual-switching. Press and hold on SOURCE/AUTO button for
7 seconds or more to enter in auto-switching/manual-switching mode.
The display result is showed as below:
The display result will be showed for 2 seconds.
The auto-switching function follows the listed principles:
Once detecting a new input signal, TL-5X1-HDV would switch to this new signal
automatically.
Ø Power rebooting principle
TL-5X1-HDV offers the function to remember the signal last displayed when rebooting.
Once rebooting, TL-5X1-HDV will automatically enter in auto-switching mode, and then
detect all inputs and memorize their connection status for future rebooting using.
And if the signal last displayed is still available, then TL-5X1-HDV will output the signal. If
not, there will be no signal on outputs.
IN: HDMI1 AUTO
1280 X 720

Ø Signal removing principle
Once removing the current display signal, TL-5X1-HDV will detect all input signals with
priority (from INPUT 1 to INPUT 5). It will output the signal first detected to be available.
Notice: Auto-switching function works only when there is a new input signal, when users
remove a signal, or power cycle the unit. With any VGA port set to AV or YPbPr, the system
will be not able to enter Auto-switching mode.
Operation Examples:
l Connect INPUT 2, INPUT 4, and INPUT 5 ports to the source devices, select INPUT
4.
l Press and hold the front key SOURCE/AUTO for 7 seconds or more to enter auto-
switching mode.
l With no signal removed or a new input, TL-5X1-HDV enters auto-switching mode,
but will take no immediate action (INPUT 4 is still displayed)
l Connect INPUT 3 with a source device, then INPUT 3 will be automatically selected.
l Remove the signal from INPUT 3, TL-5X1-HDV will search for signal from INPUT 1 to
INPUT 5. When it detects that input 2 is available, it will select INPUT 2 to output.
l Remove power from the TL-5X1-HDV, then reboot. As TL-5X1-HDV is in auto-
switching mode, INPUT 2 will be selected.
Software updating means to update the firmware of this scaler switcher.
TL-5X1-HDV supports software updating via USB flash disk. The Operation is:
1) Copy the file “MERGE_51D.bin” to the root directory of a USB flash disk. (Make sure the
file is copied to the root directory for normal use.
2) Plug the USB flash disk to the TL-5X1-HDV USB port on its rear panel.
3) Press the button “MENU” for 7 seconds or more to update the software automatically.
Or press this button for 1 second to open the OSD menu “Option” à Select “Software
Update” to enter in update procedure.
Or send command 50698% to update software.

4.1.4 Volum e Adjusting
Not in OSD menu, press VOL -- to decrease line volume, VOL + to increase.

4.3 Operations of CEC Function
TL-5X1-HDV supports CEC and CEC standby functions, and can be enabled/ disabled
through RS232 commands or OSD menu. If the HDMI source device supports CEC and its
CEC is on, and when TL-5X1-HDV enters standby/startup mode, then source device will
automatically enter standby/startup mode.
