2.1.2 Control method Set the CONFIGURATION switch, INPUT SELECT switch and OUTPUT SELECT switch on the switcher’s front panel to the positions shown in the table below. Table Control method selected using the front panel switches Setting item Operation Description Input port selection Press the INPUT SELECT switch. Each time the switch is pressed, the input port is switched. (Input 1 → input 2 → input 1) Output port selection Press the OUTPUT SELECT switch.
Chapter 2 2.2.2 CONTROL METHODS (CONTROL MODES) Control method Set the signals of the EXT I/F connector as shown in the table below. For details on the connector pin positions, refer to “4.2.2 EXT I/F connector” (on page 22); for details on the input levels, refer to “4.1.2 EXT I/F” (on page 19). Table Control method selected using the EXT I/F connector Setting item Pin no.
2.3 Exercising control using a VG series generator By connecting a VG series generator to the switcher’s input 1 port (IN1), the operations of the VD-1673 can be controlled using the interface of a VG series generator. 2.3.1 Setting the CONFIGURATION switches In order to enable control to be exercised using a VG series generator, CONFIGURATION switches no.1 and 2 on the front panel of the VD-1673 must be set to the positions shown in the table below. Table Switch no.

3 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS The VD-1673 can select any one of the input and output ports and output signals or it can distribute the signals from a multiple number of output ports, and output them. These functions are described in more detail below. 3.1 Output mode The VD-1673 can output the HDMI signal of the input port selected from the two input ports through its output ports. Two modes are used for outputting the signals. 3.1.
3.2 Input port selection One of the VD-1673’s two input ports can be selected for inputting the signals. CAUTION 3.3 * The DDC and CEC lines take effect only for the input port which has been selected. The DDC and CEC signals of the port which has not been selected are cut off. Output port selection One of the VD-1673’s eight output ports can be selected or signals can be distributed to all of its output ports and then output. CAUTION 3.
Chapter 3 3.5 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS Operations during power OFF When no power is supplied to the VD-1673, the operations of the DDC line items are performed in the modes below. Table CAUTION Operations during power OFF Setting item Description Input port selection Input port 1 Output port selection Output port 1 * The TMDS signals are OFF both for input and output. * The CEC signals are set to the status in which the input and output connections have been cut off.
