This repo contains instructions to program the EZCOO SP12H2 HDMI splitters with a custom firmware that:

• Provides all possible Max Luminance options
• Changes colorspace to BT2020 (vs. DCI-P3 in the original)
• Disables display-led DV

Steps:

1. Download the vendor FW update software from here: www.easycoolav.com/tmp/madeimg/GD32 UPDATE EX11PRO and SP12H2.rar Note that this includes the programming software, Word doc on how to update, a video and their own FW update you can use to restore to the original.

2. Download my custom FWs from Github here: https://github.com/xnappo/ez_dv_edid_fw/releases/tag/v0.1

3. Extract both packages somewhere convenient

4. In the extracted vendor directory, go to: ...\gd32\GD32AllInOneProgrammer\GD32DfuDrivers_V3.6.6.6167\x64
   and double click 'GD32DfuDrivers.exe' to install the drivers.

5. Go to ...\gd32\GD32AllInOneProgrammer\GD32AllInOneProgrammer\GD32AllInOneProgrammer_支持C103 and double click 'GD32AllInOneProgrammer.exe' to run the programmer.

6. Now, we need to put the device into update mode. This involves holding the 'update' button WHILE plugging in the USB cable. a. Plug the USB cable into your PC. b. Set the device on your desk and find something to push the button with c. Plug the cable into the EZCOO. d. Release the button The blue LED should start flashing every second.

8. Hit the 'Browse' button in the 'Download' section [ATTACH type="full"]3341890[/ATTACH]

9. Browse to where you extracted the custom FWs, change the extension from .bin to .hex in the pulldown, and select the FW you would like to install (I suggest starting with 332 or 384) then hit Open. [ATTACH type="full"]3341891[/ATTACH]

If you ever want to restore the factory FW, it is here in the package from the vendor: ...\gd32\EZ-SP12H2_APP_DFU_GD32_Ver2.06(FB4D).hex
