Settings can be applied in batch mode, allowing simultaneous adjustments to multiple devices of the same type. This feature is useful for making global changes across the system, such as assigning a range of static IP addresses, modifying transmitter EDIDs, or adjusting receiver output scaling.

The Serial/IR Test tab lets you test RS232 and IR control signals to verify that control codes are functioning correctly.

Firmware Update

To install firmware updates on NHD-500 series, make sure devices are running version 1.2.5 or later. If the devices have an older version, update them to v1.2.5 first before moving to newer versions. This step is crucial for avoiding issues. To download version 1.2.5 firmware, click here.
