2. Using the Software
2.1. General
The VSA-HA-DP has no front panel switches, configuration changes are made via the
Software GUI installed on a compatible PC.
The GUI software can be used to manage the EDID routing mode of the device such as
"pass-through" or "emulate", import/export EDID files to/from the device, Set the audio
descriptors in the EDID for (two channel or multi-channel), mute the extracted audio,
remove the audio from the HDMI video output, cycle HPD to the source, and more. The
GUI can also be used to monitor status of several pertinent parameters such as detecting
the input video and audio states and types.
2.2. USB Device Detection
The VSA-HA-DP software automatically configures the USB port after connection to the
wall plate (using standard Windows™ USB drivers) and does not require any special
USB drivers to be installed.
Once connected to a USB port, the Windows™ system will detect and use the
appropriate USB driver. The first time you connect the wall plate to the PC, you may
experience a short delay and a windows notification pop-up message may be shown.

The software scans the VSA-HA-DP settings continuously in real time, so all
changes are immediately reflected on the screen
 If no VSA-HA-DP device is attached to the
system, the on-screen fields are disabled
(grayed out)
 Only one instance of the program can run
at a time. Executing the application more
than once will result in an error message.
This detection and driver installation only occurs when the VSA-HA-DP is
connected to the PC for the first time. Afterwards, reconnected devices
automatically configure themselves with no delay or message.
