6 Operating the VS-41H
This section describes:
• The PC mode and the DVD mode (see Section 6.1 )
• How to acquire the EDID (see Section 6.2 )
• How to control the machine via RS-232 (see Section 6.3 )
• How to control the machine via the ETHERNET port (see Section 6.4 )
6.1 The PC and DVD Modes
The VS-41H has two operation modes that can be set individually for each input:
the PC mode (default) and the DVD mode:
• Use the PC mode when connecting one or more computers to the inputs
using a DVI-to-HDMI converter cable
For example, the Kramer HDMI-DVI gold-plated cable in various lengths (3”, 6”, 10” and
15”).
• Use the DVD mode when connecting one or more DVDs to the inputs
In the PC mode, an input always has access to the EDID (default or acquired) to
prevent the computer from resetting if the output is not connected.
In the DVD mode, an input only has access to the EDID when it is switched to the
connected output.
The PC mode and the DVD mode can be applied to a single unit or to several
inputs. For example, if you want to connect computers to INPUTS 1 and 2, and
DVD machines to INPUTS 3 and 4, set INPUTS 1 and 2 to the PC mode and
INPUTS 3 and 4 to the DVD mode.
To set the inputs to either the PC or DVD mode, do the following:
1. Turn off the VS-41H POWER.
2. Press the PANEL LOCK button while turning the POWER on again.
