This section describes how to:
• Route an input to an output (see section
7.1)
• Acquire the EDID (see section
7.2)
• Store and recall a setting (see section
7.3)
• Control the machine via RS-232 (see section 7.4
)
• Control the machine via the ETHERNET port (see section 7.5)
7.1 Switching an Input to an Output
Press an output key, followed by an input key to route this input to that
output.
7.2 Acquiring the EDID
The EDID is a data structure transmitted by the display that enables the
VS-88H to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The
VS-88H acquires and stores the EDID to make reconnection to the display
effortless.
You can acquire the EDID:
• From one output to any of the eight inputs (see section
7.2.1)
• From several sets of inputs and outputs (see section
7.2.2)
• From the default EDID (see section
7.2.3)
7.2.1 Acquire an EDID from a Connected Output
To acquire or change the EDID of a new output display:
1. Turn the VS-88H ON.
2. Connect the required acceptor to the output from which you want to acquire
the EDID.
3. Press the EDID and STO buttons simultaneously and hold them for 3
seconds.
Both buttons flash.
4. Press the input button to which the EDID will be copied.
The selected input number flashes on the display.
5. Select the output from which the EDID will be acquired.
6. Press the EDID button.
The process is complete when the display returns to normal.
