Panel Description

① Mode DIP Switch -- 4 pin (UP=0, DOWN=1). The Signalmanager can be

configured to perform various tasks using the mode DIP switches. Detailed
settings please see below:

A. Under control by DIP switch, the position of DIP Switch-0 should be UP

(0).

 DIP Switch-3 -- Selectable to convert HDMI signal to output.

Position=0 (UP) -- Auto convert 6G (4:4:4) Format to 3G (4:2:0) when
detect sink not support 6G (4:4:4).
Position=1 (DOWN) -- Always convert 6G (4:4:4) format to 3G (4:2:0).

 DIPSwitch-2 -- HDCP management.

Position=0 (UP) -- HDCP follow sink.
Position=1 (DOWN) -- HDCP follow source.

 DIP Switch-1 -- Audio embedding and bypass.

Position=0 (UP) -- Audio bypass.
Position=1 (DOWN) -- Audio embedding (L/R input added to the HDMI
Output).
