Initiating A Media Session
Your MPX1000 transmitter is now ready to establish a media session with its bound receivers.
The following steps allow you verify proper operation of your media modules, establish the Active
EDID string at the MPX1000 transmitter and test compatibility of your source and display devices
through the extension network.
To establish your first media session across the extension network:
1. Turn off your MPX1000 transmitter and receivers.
2. Turn off your display devices.
3. Properly shut down off your source device if it is not already turned off at this time.
4. Attach your display device to the primary MPX1000 receiver using an appropriate cable.
NOTE: Be sure to use a display device that supports DDC2B and contains a valid EDID string.
5. Power on the display device.
6. Power on the primary MPX1000 receiver.
NOTE: This power up sequence ensures that the display device is online when the MPX1000 receiver reads the
EDID information.
7. Attach the source device to the MPX1000 transmitter using an appropriate cable.
8. Turn on the MPX1000 transmitter.
9. Wait for the MPX1000 receiver to bind with the MPX1000 transmitter, as
previously
described.
10. Power on your source device and activate it as necessary to ensure flow of video data.
NOTE: This power up sequence ensures that proper EDID information is stored in the MPX1000 transmitter
before the source device attempts to read it. The order of power up sequencing is important only once, during
initial configuration and setup. If it is necessary to replace a field-installed MPX1000 transmitter with brand new
unit, these same steps should be used to properly establish valid EDID information in the replacement unit.
11. Video should appear on the display device attached to the MPX1000 receiver within 30
seconds after the source device has completed initializing.
12. Additional receivers and display devices may now be added to the extension network.
