4 Connecting the VM-4HC
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
VM-4HC. After connecting your VM-4HC, connect its power and then
switch on the power to each device.
To connect the VM-4HC as illustrated in the example in Figure 2 :
1. Connect the HDMI source, for example, a DVD player to the INPUT
connector.
2. Connect the HDMI OUTPUT connectors to up to 4 HDMI acceptors as
follows:
As required. Up to four outputs can be connected. Not all outputs need to be connected.
 OUTPUT 1 to display device 1 (for example, a plasma display)
 OUTPUT 2 to display device 2 (for example, a plasma or LCD display)
 OUTPUT 3 to display device 3 (for example, an LCD TV)

OUTPUT 4 to display device 4 (for example, a plasma display)
3. Connect the power adapter to the device and to the mains electricity (not
shown in Figure 2 ).
4. If required, acquire the EDID (see Section 4.1 ).
4.1 Acquiring the EDID
Initially the VM-4HC operates with the factory default EDID stored in the non-
volatile memory. The source reads the EDID from the device when the device is
plugged in or powered on.
The EDID can be acquired from:

One of the outputs

The default EDID

Up to four connected outputs using the Auto-mix Mode
The EDID acquired is a weighted average of all the connected outputs. For example, if
several displays with different resolutions are connected to the outputs, the acquired
EDID supports all the resolutions, as well as other parameters included in the EDID
