Command Line Operation

This section is designed for programmers who wish to create their own control programs using the command code. HDS-21RS provides a simple character stream

11

PureLink by Dtrovision control used by external control devices attached to a PureLink device. Command codes are used primarily for control, during system installation, setup, and for diagnostic purposes.

Command code is a set of alphanumeric characters that combine to form control commands. Command code strings are entered into a terminal emulation program (such as windows HyperTerminal) running on an external control device. The control device

(PC, third-party controller) sends the commands to the system. Control devices must be able to send and receive ASCII or HEXA code via an RS-232.

1-9 Troubleshooting

PureLink by Dtrovision

Problem

Distribution Amplifier does not operate

No picture(or signal)

Or Poor picture

Incorrectly sized picture

/resolution or No picture

Solution

Make sure the 12V power is plugged in the back of the unit.

Check to see if the power LED light is on.

1. In case your video source is HDCP enabled, make sure your video display (HDTV) is HDCP compliant.

2. If you are using copper based HDMI cable, overall length of the cables (length of the cable from video source to switch and length of the cable from switch to display) should not exceed 20ft. Exceeding 20ft. with copper based cables will result in no or poor picture quality. To extend beyond 20ft, please use fiber optical HDMI extension cables such as PureLink EZ series.

3. Use high quality HDMI cables.

4. If you are using computers, try other refresh rate settings. Most HDTV’s have refresh rate of 48Hz and computer’s video cards are usually set at higher refresh rate. Try lower refresh rates.

5. Make sure all HDMI connectors are tightly secured to all

HDMI ports. Loosened screws on the HDMI connectors will result in no or poor picture.

6. Turn off all equipment (video source, switch and HDTV) and restart all equipment.

Please remember that your video source will only transmit one resolution setting. To connect varying resolution displays (1920x1200 resolution display and 1024 x 768 resolution display) the resolution setting of your video source must be set to the lowest resolution setting (1024 x

768).
