1. INTRODUCTION
DCP-MTX is a Daisy-Chain Presentation Switcher able to transmit 4K signal over
HDBaseT up to 100 meters and supports cascade connection of multiple A/V sources,
displays or any devices capable of HDBaseT transmission.
DCP-MTX accepts video signals from HDMI IN, Display Port IN or VGA IN as well as
embedded audio signal from a 3.5 mm AUDIO IN port and cascades selected signal
through HDBaseT. An HDMI OUT port is provided for connection of a local display device
or zone displays.
DCP-MTX builds in a 2-port ETHERNET Switch and allows Ethernet pass-through over
HDBaseT for LAN control or access. A RS232 port is installed to allow display device
control or RS232 pass-through.
The one-of-a-kind MYTURN button is designed for local selection of input signal and
setting up IP sequence for a DCP system. An EDID switch is also available for manual
configuration of the EDID parameter of the device. A USB charger provides power for
mobile phones, tablets, and the like.
DCP-MTX is designed bearing user-friendliness in mind. For users with different level of
A/V switching experience, DCP-MTX offers various control options: through the physical
MYTURN button on the front panel, the intuitive Web UI, or Telnet control for advanced
users. For users who look for a Presentation Switcher with great ease of control and
versatility in connection, DCP-MTX is the choice.
DCP-MTX offers a future-ready Ultra HD A/V switching and distribution solution and is
ideal for collaboration or presentation in conference and education applications.

5. EDID SWITCH
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure provided by a digital
display to describe its capabilities to a video source. DCP-MTX features an EDID
management that can be used when the EDID setting’s does not meet the installation
requirements.
By default, the EDID DIP switch is set in 1920 x 1080@60Hz 2CH mode, i.e. the
switches are set to 0 0 1 0.
