On all cards apart from the DVI dual link cards, there are two physical ports on
each card and numbering of ports is sequential from top to bottom and left to right.
Each DVI dual link card provides one physical port which causes the loss of one
number in the numbering sequence of that card only. A sample numbering is
shown in Figure 5 and explained in Table 4 .
6.1.1 EDID Numbering Examples
Table 5 is based on the port numbering shown in Figure 5 and lists requested
switching configurations and their results.
Table 5: EDID Configuration Requests and Results
EDID Request EDID Sent
From OUT 4 Blank (256 bytes of 0xFF)
From IN 8 None (error message displayed)
Note: AV data flow is: source > VS-1616D > display. EDID information flow is:
display > VS-1616D > source, which means that the EDID input is the display
side and the EDID output is the AV source side. This is the reverse of the AV data
flow direction.
When assigning EDIDs, note that the top row of the LCD display labeled
OUTPUTS relates to the ports connected to the sources (AV inputs), and the
bottom row of the LCD display labeled INPUTS relates to the ports connected to
displays (AV outputs).
In
Figure 6 , the EDID from EDID input 8 (VS-1616D Output port 8) has been
assigned to all EDID outputs (VS-1616D Input ports).

6.2 Serial Data Flow on DGKat Plus RS-232 Cards
Serial data present on the RS-232 port of a DGKat input card is not transmitted via
the switcher. This data is transmitted over the TP cable of the same input card (see
Figure 7 ).
