6.1 The PC and DVD Modes
)
The VS-161H has two operation modes that are specific per input: the PC mode
and the DVD mode:
•
The PC mode is used when connecting a computer or several computers to
one or more of the inputs via a DVI-to-HDMI converter cable (for example,
the Kramer HDMI-DVI Gold Plated Cable in various lengths). This is the
default mode
•
The DVD mode is used when connecting a DVD or several DVDs to the
inputs
When in the PC mode, the input has access to the EDID (default or acquired) to
prevent the computer from resetting if an output is not connected. In the DVD
mode, the EDID of the connected output is available only when the input to which
the DVD is connected, is switched to the output.
The PC mode and the DVD mode can be applied to a single input or to several
inputs. For example, if you want to connect a computer to INPUT 1, another
computer to INPUT 2, and DVD machines to all the other inputs (from INPUT 3 to
INPUT 16), set INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 to the PC mode and all the other inputs to
the DVD mode.
To set the inputs to either the PC or the DVD mode:
1. Turn the power off.
