Using the Software
2.1. General
In most installations the use of the
software is not needed as most
functions can be performed using
the push-buttons on the product as
described in the previous section.
You can use the software to
import/export EDID files from the
device. Custom EDID data can also be written to devices connected to the
output if they support that function. You can also mute the extracted audio, or
remove the audio from the HDMI output.
It is possible to connect more than one EMX-HD-AUD to the PC (using several
USB ports of the PC). The same instance of the software detects all connected
devices and allows control from the same interface.
2.2. USB Device Detection
The EMX-HD-AUD software uses standard Windows® drivers to automatically
configure the USB port after connection and does not require any special USB
drivers to be installed.
The first time you connect the extender to the PC, you may experience a short
delay and a windows notification pop-up message may be shown.
2.2.1. The software scans the EMX-HD-AUD
settings continuously in real time, so all
changes are immediately reflected on the
screen
2.2.2. If no EMX-HD-AUD device is attached to
the system, the on-screen fields are
disabled (grayed out)
2.2.3. Only one instance of the GUI program can run at
a time. Executing the application more than once
will result in an error message.
This detection and auto installation only occurs once. Thereafter,
reconnected devices are detected with no delay or message.
