How to use

The element created using this connector has two data pages, as detailed below.

General

This page displays the Model, Serial Number and other general parameters.

It also allows you to switch input signal. Since the buttons on the actual device can be customized, an option is available to set up different switch input values according to the assigned button. This can be done via the Switch Input page button.

The Group ID and Unit ID to include in the command packets can also be modified. If you want to go to All Connection mode, you can set the Group ID and Unit ID to this mode using the checkbox. This mode assumes simultaneous control of all monitors in a LAN consisting of a client and multiple monitors. An operation request is issued to all monitors in the LAN using the UDP broadcast. No information acquisition request can be issued.

NOTE: There is a delay between the manual set for Group ID and Unit ID and the actual change in the packets.

Status

This page displays status information of the device, e.g., Aspect Ratio, Power, Audio Level, etc.
