To control the VideoForge HDMI, including its output signal resolution and test pattern, you can
open the web-based VideoForge manual user interface or you can control the VideoForge with
CalMAN calibration software (see the following CalMAN Setup Guide).
Manual Control Web-based User Interface
To manually control the VideoForge HDMI (without CalMAN):
With a direct Ethernet cable connection between the VideoForge and a host computer:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the VideoForge LAN connector and a host computer
(straight-through or crossover cable).
2. Open a web browser on the computer.
3. In the address bar, type “http://videoforge-xxxx” for a PC, or “http://videoforge-
xxxx.local” for a Mac.
The xxxx should be the four characters at the end of the Power label on the bottom of
the VideoForge case.
4. Press Enter.
5. The VideoForge user interface will open on the browser.
NOTE: If the VideoForge user interface does not open, be sure your local area network
connection is set to obtain an IP address automatically with DHCP, then retry.
