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.
3.1.1 SELECTION mode
When “SELECTION mode” has been selected as the output method setting, one of the VD-1673’s
output ports can be selected for outputting the signals. HDMI signals are not sent through the output
ports which are not selected. (The same status is established as when the power of the source unit
is OFF.)
Use the “SELECTION mode” setting if the TMDS signals input to the VD-1673 have been encoded
by the content protection function using HDCP.
3.1.2 DISTRIBUTION mode
When “DISTRIBUTION mode” has been selected as the output method setting, the TMDS signals
are output from all the VD-1673’s output ports.
Use the “SELECTION mode” setting if the TMDS signals input to the VD-1673 are encoded by the
content protection function using HDCP.
*1 The DDC and CEC signals among the HDMI signals are also switched.
*2 If the connection of the sink unit cannot be verified by the hot plug signal, the TMDS
output of the unit’s port concerned is set to OFF.
* The DDC and CEC signals among the HDMI signals take effect only for those output
ports selected.
* If “DISTRIBUTION mode” has been selected when TMDS signals encoded using
HDCP have been input, the signals will be output normally only through the output
ports selected.
* If the connection of the sink unit cannot be verified by the hot plug signal, the TMDS
output of the unit’s port concerned is set to OFF.
