General

In this procedure, you will add Inputs to the system. The system must have inputs added in order for them to be available.

Prerequisite

• Ensure that you are familiar with the Configuration Menu. For details on this menu, please refer to chapter “Configuration Menu”

Connector Capacity

Each connector has a capacity setting that assigns internal resources to the connector. Likewise does it also free up resources for the other connectors. If two Dual Link Connectors is expected on any of the HDMI/DP cards, two other connectors needs to be set to “NONE”.

If a connector is to be used to accommodate a 4K signal all other connectors on each card needs to be set to “NONE”.

(Optional) Auto create all Inputs

If the Auto create Inputs is pressed, then the software will add all unassigned inputs to the input list and number them sequentially.

This button is a shortcut for systems utilizing a large number of inputs.

(Optional) Auto create all live Inputs

If the Auto create all Inputs is pressed, then the software will add all unassigned inputs with input signal detected (yellow) to the input list and number them sequentially.

This button is a shortcut for systems utilizing a large number of inputs.

Add Input

This is where you add specific input requirements in order to allow Dual Link inputs of 3840x1080, UHD and 4K.

1. Click on the Input tab to select the inputs that will be defined.
2. Click on the +Add Input blue button to enter the Add mode.
3. Click on the connector that the input signal is connected to define it as an input. Up to 4 connectors can be added into a Connector Group with a maximum resolution of 4K.
4. Click on the Done Adding button to exit the Add mode.

(Optional) Adjust Input Parameters

Click on the Adjust tab that is located on the top. From this menu you can adjust:

1. Select Format value, color space and connector type. Default value is 1920x1080p @ 59.94.
2. Set Connector mapping, Horizontal is Default.
3. Select EDID format (for DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort inputs). Select EDID from the drop-down list, then select frame rate from the drop-down list and finally select Apply.
4. Apply specific EDID parameters based on a standard EDID. VESA calculator needs to be used.
5. If several connectors should have the same EDID, check the Apply to all Backgrounds checkbox before Apply and Save.
6. Select HDCP mode (for DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort inputs).
7. Select color space, capacity and type (for SDI inputs).
8. Perform color adjustments.
9. Read all timing parameters associated with the selected format.

(Optional) Delete Inputs

1. Click on the blue button Delete Input(s).
2. From the Name list click on the “x” space next to the Input(s) you wish to delete. Or select connectors.
3. Hit the red button Delete Input(s) button. All of the selected Inputs will be removed from the list.

(Optional) Edit the Name

1. Double click on default name in the Name list to edit the name.
2. When the area turns blue, click the eraser icon to clear the field.

3. Type a new name.

   

   Note: It is recommended to name inputs based on the actual connection scenario instead of the connected devices function. This is due to several layers of naming that can be done in the system to simplify understanding during operation.
