Panel Description

Panel front and rear interface diagram with labels

Close-up view of DIP switch and status label

  • 1 HDMI OUT: Connects to HDMI display device. The GEN-1 is used as a HDMI signal generator to output HDMI signal.
  • 2 HDMI IN: Connects to HDMI source device. The GEN-1 is used as a display emulator to detect the HDCP content and signal status (5V, TMDS) of HDMI source.
  • 3 SIG LED: When the GEN-1 is used as a HDMI signal generator, the LED turns red when there is HDMI signal output. When the GEN-1 is used as a display emulator, the LED turns green when only 5V signal is detected, or turns red when 5V and TMDS signals are detected simultaneously, or off when no HDMI signal input.
  • 4 HDCP LED:
  • When the GEN-1 is used as a HDMI signal generator, the HDCP content can be selected by 4-pin DIP switch. The LED turns green when HDCP 2.2 is selected, or red when HDCP 1.4 is selected, off when no HDCP.
  • When the GEN-1 is used as a display emulator, The LED turns green when the HDCP content of HDMI source is HDCP 2.2, or red when it is HDCP 1.4, or off when no HDCP.

⑤ POWER:

Micro USB port for power cord connection. The GEN-1 must be powered on when it is used as a signal generator. When the GEN-1 is used as a display emulator, it can be powered by HDMI source, so the power cord connection is not required, if the HDMI source has not enough power, both of the SIG LED and HDCP LED will blink.

⑥ DIP SWITCH:

When the GEN-1 is used as a HDMI signal generator, switch 1 & 2 are used for built-in EDID (video & audio) selection, and switch 3 & 4 are used for HDCP content selection.
There are four switches (1~4). The switch represents “0” when in the lower position, and it represents “1” while putting the switch in the upper position.
