The web server
The HDfury Diva web server INFO section and port selector
INFO is the page the webserver opens on. It reports what is arriving, what is leaving and what your displays claim they can accept, and it is where you route inputs to outputs.
Everything on this page is read-only except the port selector, so it is a safe place to start. Read it in columns: one for TX0 and one for TX1, each following a signal from the source, through whatever the Diva did to it, to the sink at the far end.
What each field reports
- SOURCE
- When available, the name of the active source currently being sent out through TX0 or TX1.
- IN TX0 and IN TX1
- The original video signal from that source, as it arrives at the Diva, before any processing.
- VIDEO TX0 and VIDEO TX1
- The real video signal going out of that output, after any operation the Diva performed on it.
- AUDIO TX0 and AUDIO TX1
- The audio signal information going out through that output.
- EDID TX0 and EDID TX1
- The maximum capabilities of whatever sink is connected at that output, according to its EDID.
- PORT SELECTOR
- Selects which input is routed to the TX0 or the TX1 output.
- REFRESH
- Reloads the current page.
Reading the two video rows together
The IN row and the VIDEO row are the pair that answers most questions. If they match, the signal is passing through untouched. If they differ, the Diva has done something to it, and the SCALER section and the HDR and DV section between them will tell you what and why. A source stuck at a lower format than you expect is almost never the fault of the output stage: compare the IN row with the EDID row for that output and with the EDID being presented to the source, which the EDID section controls.
The EDID row is a claim made by your display, not a measurement. It is what the sink advertises it can accept. When Automix builds a mixed EDID out of the capabilities of the connected sinks, this row is the raw material it works from, so it is worth checking before you go looking for a fault elsewhere.
Routing from the browser
The port selector does the same job as the OUT0 and OUT1 buttons on the side of the unit. Pick the input you want on each output and the matrix reroutes immediately, with no re-cabling and no need to change anything on the sources. Because TX0 and TX1 are chosen separately, you can leave a projector on one input and a second display on another, or point both at the same source when you want them mirrored.
The same signal information appears on the Diva OLED, which is often quicker for a glance from the sofa. The webserver version shows both outputs side by side, along with the audio and EDID detail the small display has no room for.
