7 Operating the VS-42H

This section describes how to:

•Acquire the EDID (see section 7.1)

•Store and recall a setting (see section 7.2)

•Control the machine via RS-232 (see section 7.3)

•Control the machine via the ETHERNET port (see section 7.4)

7.1Acquiring the EDID

You can acquire the EDID from OUT 1 and/or OUT 2 and copy it to any of the four inputs, or reset to the default EDID. The EDID is acquired at once for all the inputs, according to the status of the selector buttons.

To acquire or change the EDID of a new output display:

1.Connect the required acceptor to the output from which you want to acquire the EDID.

2.Connect the power supply.

3.Press the EDID button and hold it for 3 seconds. Four input buttons blink1.

4.For each input, select the output from which it will acquire the EDID. For example, to copy the EDID of output 2 to input 3, press the INPUT SELECTOR button 3 on the TO OUTPUT 2 line.

5.Press the LOCK button.

The INPUT buttons blink in sequence until the EDID is acquired.

To acquire the EDID of both outputs2:

1.Connect the required acceptors to the outputs.

2.Connect the power supply.

3.Press the EDID button and hold it for 3 seconds. The selected input buttons blink3.

4.For each input, select both outputs.

For example, to copy the EDID of output 1 and output 2 to input 3, press the INPUT SELECTOR button 3 on the TO OUTPUT 1 line and on the TO OUTPUT 2 line.
