Operating the VS-21H-IR 2x1 HDMI Switcher 5.1 Using the Remote Control Transmitter You can use the remote control transmitter 1 to switch INPUT 1 or 2 to the output. Before doing so, set it to work with the VS-21H-IR by assigning a GROUP number. To assign the GROUP number on the remote control transmitter, do the following: 1. Point the remote control transmitter at the remote receiver (item 10 in Figure 1 / Table 1) and press the GROUP key. 2. Press key 11. This sets and saves the group number.
Operating the VS-21H-IR 2x1 HDMI Switcher 2. Connect the power while keeping the SELECT button pressed until the LEDs start to flash. 3. Release the SELECT button while the IN 1, IN 2 and OUT LEDs flash. The EDID of both INPUT 1 and 2 is altered and stored in the non-volatile memory. When a certain input—INPUT 1 or INPUT 2—is selected, the EDID information comes directly from the display. When the input is not selected, the VS-21H-IR uses the virtual EDID stored in the non-volatile memory. 6.1.
