Operation

Overview

The 4-Port Dual View HDMI Switch offers easy and flexible source device selection with either the front panel pushbuttons, with the remote control, or through the RS-232 serial interface.

Note: 1. Whenever the VS482 is powered on and there is no video input source connected, it automatically selects Port 1 as the active port (i.e., the Port 1 LED lights up). You may choose one of the methods outlined below to select a different port as your active port.

2.The VS482 takes about 10-20 seconds to boot up the system and apply the system configuration when first powered on.

Manual Selection

To select a source device, press the pushbutton that corresponds to the port to which it is connected.

Note: The Port LED (green) light indicates which port is currently selected.

Remote Control Selection

To select a source device with the remote control, press the number button that corresponds to the port to which it is connected.

See IR Remote Control, page 6 for more details.

Note: Aim the remote control unit at the IR receiver located on the front panel of the VS482. For optimum performance, make sure there is a clear line- of-sight between the remote control unit and the IR receiver.
