2. GIGA LAN: Connect directly to a Receiver or to a GIGA(1000Mbps) Ethernet
Switch using CAT5e/6 cable.
3. HDMI IN: Connect to an HDMI source device with an HDMI M-M cable. Use an
HDMI --> DVI adapter if the source is DVI.
4. RS232: Connect to the RS232 port of the device you want to configure.
LEDs , button and Group ID setting
1. POWER LED Blinking: power on and the unit is booting up.
2. POWER LED On: power on and the unit is active.
3. LINK LED Off: LAN is not connected.
4. LINK LED On: LAN is connected.
5. DATA LED Blinking: if Transmitter is connecting with LAN, or the HDMI source is removed.
6. DATA LED On: All the connections are working.
7. RESET Button: change Link / Unlink; Engineering Mode and Reset to default using this button. Please to see the RESET Button Descriptions.
8. GROUP ID:
Set up the Transmitter’s group ID by adjusting the 4-pin DIP switch,
ON means “1”, OFF means “0”, there are 16 groups available to set up.
Multicast IP Address
255.0.0.XXX & 255.0.1.XXX, the XXX are resolved by the 4-pin DIP Switch on the
Transmitter.
Receiver
1. DC5V: Connect to the supplied AC adapter and plug into an electrical outlet.
2. GIGA LAN: Connect directly to a Transmitter or to a GIGA(1000Mbps) Ethernet
Switch using CAT6 cable.
3. HDMI OUT: Connect to an HDMI display device with an HDMI M-M cable. Use an HDMI --> DVI adapter if the display is DVI.
4. RS232: Connect to the RS232 port of the device you want to configure.
LEDs , button and Group ID setting
1. POWER LED Blinking: power on and the unit is booting up.
2. POWER LED On: power on and the unit is active.
3. LINK LED Off: LAN is not connected.
4. LINK LED On: LAN is connected.
5. DATA LED Blinking: The Receiver is connecting with Transmitter, or the HDMI source is removed.
6. DATA LED On: All the connections are working.
7. PB 1 : Change Link/Unlink; Firmware Upgrade Mode and Reset to default* using this button. Please to see the Button Descriptions.
8. PB 2 : change between Video Mode / Graphic Mode ; Anti-Dither ; Update
EDID* using this button. Please to see the Push Button Descriptions.
9. GROUP ID:
The Receiver’s default GROUP ID is “0000”
Transmitter & Receiver IP Address
The default setting is for “auto ip” mode and uses the 169.254.xxx.xxx private IP domain range. The IP of target TX/RX board is resolved by its hostname using DNS protocol. The RX’s HDMI GUI will display the RX’s IP address and the connected
TX’s IP address. You can see the RX’s HDMI GUI by connecting it with power adapter and HDMI monitor only, without LAN cable.
Configurations
- Extend the Full HD source up to 100 meters over a single CAT6 cable.
- Distribute the Full HD source to many of remote displays.
- Connect up to 16 Transmitters with many of remote displays through the
IGMP-enabling Gigabit Ethernet Switches to construct a right-sized matrix you need.
- Each Transmitter (source) requires 150Mbps bandwidth for broadcasting 1080p, so Fiber Optic connection between Ethernet Switches is recommended for many-to-many application.
- Support cascading Ethernet Switches up to 3 layers.

Descriptions
User can select to change between Video Mode /
Graphic Mode using this button. The button setting will be saved to flash, and write-in after rebooting.
Video Mode: FW will automatically trade-off between bandwidth and video quality to ensure smooth video playing experience.
Graphic Mode: FW will fix the trade-off to ensure best graphic/text viewing experience.
Anti-Dithering Mode is design to work with ATI graphic cards that provide dithering output. Dithering output is used to make coloring looks better than it's original color depth. It uses visual transient to create a half-tone effect. However, this presents great difficulty for Video
Compression to maintain low bandwidth even if the source display seems static. Currently, we only see
Dithering Output with ATI graphic cards.
To resolve this issue, HVE-6501 provides Anti-dithering for
1 bit, 2 bit, or off.
If the source content does not generate dithering output, and this feature is turn on. It will create a blocking effect because Video Engine are unable to detect pixel changes. User can avoid this issue by turning this feature to off.
"Update EDID" feature is used for Multicast Mode to select which monitor/TV EDID is used for system wide
EDID usage.
During multicast setup, there maybe monitor/TV that has lower resolution. For example, 1 monitor/TV with
720p resolution with mostly 1080p solutions. Please select the monitor/TV with lowest resolution, to ensure all can be displayed correctly.
For customer that are using 1 pair of Host/Client with
Multicast mode, the end user must update EDID correctly. If not, it will cause many compatibility issue.
Operation:
Once the button event is triggered correctly at the client side, when system is setup correctly for Multicast. The selected EDID will be update to Host Side EEPROM.
Firmware Upgrade Mode 1. Static IP: 192.168.0.88
2. User can connect to http://192.168.0.88 webpage for firmware update.
Reset to Default
3. Firmware update file name will be:
Host :webfwh.bin
Client :webfwc.bin
1. Reset Any changes in SPI flash setup flag.
2. After Reset to Default and reboot cycle, will use default setting.
How to Use RS232 over IP
HVE-650/660 series support a feature called "RS232 over IP". This feature redirects
RS232 data from client/host to host/client. the RS232 redirection is automatically established between host and clients. There is no need to explicitly issue commands for establishing redirection. The FW code will automatically link the host and clients all together using a pre-configured baudrate setting (default is
9600-8n1). Normally, this static baudrate setting is pre-configured on
Manufacturing. Also you can change baudrate setting by Link Utility, you can refer to next chapter.
